There are some nice improvements in this release. Most relate to user experience, but some relate to programmer experience as well. We’ve been focused on making sure we live up to Apostrophe’s promise of an enjoyable experience free of frustration.
2.6.0
-
relationshipfields defined forjoinByArraycan now have aninline: trueflag. If they are inline, they are presented right in the chooser, rather than appearing in a separate modal dialog reachable by clicking an icon. This feature should be used sparingly, but that’s true of relationship fields in general. - Permissions editing for pages now takes advantage of the new inline relationship fields to make the “apply to subpages” functionality easier to discover.
- When uploading files or images, the title field is automatically suggested based on the filename.
- Improvements in form field UX and design.
- When choosing pieces (including images), if you elect to create a new piece it is automatically added to the selection.
- When choosing pieces, if the
limitis reached and it is greater than 1, a helpful message appears, and the UI changes to make clear that you cannot add items until you remove one. If the limit is exactly 1, a new selection automatically replaces the current selection, and singular language is used to clarify what is happening. - Syntax errors in “related types” such as cursors now produce an improved error message with filename and line number.
- Showstopper errors during startup are reported in a less redundant way.
