Server Support

• PHP 8.5 is now supported

Bugs Fixed

• Block titles for the IIIF page blocks were not properly escaped
• The IIIF presentation page block did not respect the site's configured IIIF viewer setting for the Mirador theme
• Some fields were not aligned properly on the admin advanced search
• Themes could not use the Ckeditor form elements to allow HTML input for theme settings
• Unnecessary spacing when listing data types in resource template browse
• Modules using older code for database queries could encounter errors related to core events like those used for processing fulltext search
• The Asset add form only allowed a fixed list of file types regardless of what types were specified in config
• The confirm password check did not properly run when the confirm box was left blank
• Navigation allowed script-executing javascript: URLs for custom pages (reported by Frank Mancia)
• Cross-site search could include results for sites the current user did not have permission to view
• Mirador annotations displayed with incorrectly thick borders
• Vocabulary prefixes were not correctly checked against the set of allowed characters when creating the vocabulary
• Uploaded "audio/mpeg" files with no extension used the unlikely ".mpga" extension instead of the more-likely ".mp3"
• Fulltext search improperly saved some characters as HTML entities when HTML Purifier was disabled, preventing the search from properly returning them
• The has_media=1 query could improperly reveal the existence of private media
• The advanced search "Sort by" input was not properly set by the current query
• Purely-numeric items in filtered sidebar selectors caused a JS error
• The List of pages block rendered incorrect HTML for its nested lists
• Fixed PHP 8.5 deprecations
