Release Notes v2024.12.1

Aco Heading Release Introduction Bg Landscape

Dear colleagues,

during the day we will roll out our last release for this year in 2024 on all websites. This release will bring the following changes:

Security Improvements

  • [ATTENTION] Automatic Captcha Integration in All Forms
    To enhance security, we have implemented a captcha module across all existing forms.

Search Functionality Enhancements

  • Improved Search Behaviour
    We’ve made initial technical adjustments to enhance the search functionality across all websites. Note: Frontend updates are still in progress.
    • Product Pages Ranking: Product pages will now rank higher in search results compared to standard pages.
      • [ATTENTION] TYPO3 Users: If you have manually created product pages, you can now utilize the “Product” page type for the same functionality.
    • Search Term Matching: Pages with search terms in their titles will rank higher, helping users find the most relevant results. Title matching now has a higher priority than keyword occurrences in the page content.
    • PDF Files in Search: PDF files are now included in the global search and will appear with thumbnails.

Content Updates

  • Unified Content Element: "Icon with Link"
    The “Call-to-Action Button” and “Social Media Link” elements have been merged due to their similar functionality. The location in the content wizard is unchanged.
  • File Links Content Element Adjustment
    A new option to display file thumbnails has been added. Currently, this applies only to PDF files.
  • Gallery Settings Adjustment
    The new “above, right” gallery option has been added to the Text & Images element. Additionally, the “Image Without Style” option has been removed.
  • Missing Button Translations
    A bug that caused buttons to display in their original language instead of the translated language has been fixed.
  • Image Element Renaming
    The former “Juxtaposition Image” element has been renamed “Image Compare Slider.” The “Mode” field has also been renamed to “Sliding Direction” for clarity.

Usability Improvements

  • New Sitemap Button in TYPO3
    A new button has been added to the TYPO3 header toolbar for quick access to your website’s sitemap, providing a clearer overview of all URLs.
  • Mobile Menu Scrolling Fix
    The issue allowing users to scroll through the website while the menu was open on mobile devices has been resolved.

Visual Adjustments

  • Text Highlight Boxes
    The height of text highlight boxes has been standardized, eliminating size discrepancies between full-surface boxes and bordered boxes.
