Server Support

• PHP 8.5 is now supported

Bugs Fixed

• The navigation edit form incorrectly warned about unsaved changes even if no changes were made
• The "for" attribute did not appear as expected on some checkbox form elements
• Headers in the admin interface cut off too soon, leaving unused space
• Action links on browse pages did not align properly on some browsers and sometimes lacked proper separation between actions
• The Files tab when editing items had alignment and wrapping issues at smaller screen widths
• The TinyMCE HTML editor did not limit the editor height as expected
• The Role element description for the user form linked to an old documentation location
• PHP deprecation fixes:
  • improper null passing of null browse sorting parameters
  • improper null passing using Zend_Form with some multi-level forms
  • improper null passing for some SQL queries
  • deprecated callback syntax in LightGallery view helper
  • removed PHP casts that were deprecated in PHP 8.5
  • imagedestroy calls in the GD derivative strategy

Improvements

• Accessibility improvements
  • Admin browse pages reworked to avoid duplicate links, duplicate text, and improve accessibility for featured/private markers
  • Added toolbar group labels and help text for the TinyMCE HTML editor
  • Moved admin "skip to content" link into header to avoid unwanted initial focus
  • Improved text content for admin sorting links
  • Labels provided for ARIA landmarks
  • Labels for form elements when editing item types
• SQL sorting is skipped completely for queries that only want to count the results, improving performance for some queries
• Invalid "context" queries and advanced search types both emit 404 errors instead of 500, avoiding some common unhelpful error log entries and signaling to crawlers not to recrawl

External Libraries

• jQuery 3.7.1 / jQuery UI 1.14.1
• getID3 1.9.25

For Developers

• New insert_option and update_option hooks fired when options are set
• New index_acl_resource route parameter allows API resources to check against ACL for an index permission when performing an index/list operation
