And a new help article option in the fragment menu to display the most specific content based on the following priorities:

1. Custom fragment type article
2. Custom section id article
3. Custom document type article
4. Custom page id article
5. Default document type article
6. Default page id article

Added: log caching to Administration dashboard for better loading performance.

Fixed: error when editing the structure of a document containing a TOC marker:

 Invalid content was found starting with element 'toc-ref'

Added: “Split fragment” to break content into fragments before each heading or at every empty paragraph.

Added: Publication “covers” for display on Group home or search pages. For publication root and non-publication documents, use document metadata properties:

• cover_image (xref), and
• cover_background (HEX color code prefixed by # )

(cover_image takes precedence).

Added: the data-fragment-type attribute to the .psml-fragment element in the UI to select fragment types with CSS like:

HEAD /ps/api/resources 

POST /ps/api/resources

PUT  /ps/api/resources

Fixed: possible error when comparing lists in combined view.

Fixed: the editor context menu display of options when there are a lot of block/inline labels.

Fixed: error moving a new or draft fragment, up or down.

Disabled: uploading documents to the archive folder in a group.

Added: support for syncfolder="true" on the ps:upload ANT task which archives any documents in the destination folder and its descendants which are not in the uploaded documents. This option is also available from the user interface in developer view.

Added: optional reason for archiving a project/group which is appended to the project/group description with other details.

Added: the global properties debounceIndexingDelay and debouncePublicationDelay which are the number of milliseconds to wait before indexing an object or updating a publication TOC respectively (both default to 500). This improves performance especially when saving multiple edits.

Modified: the database as follows:

• Increased the size of Path and ParentPath fields in the URI table to VARCHAR(1000) to handle long URLs.

Modified: the default for “public access” to allow existing members only.

Selecting "Comments & group accessible to: Public" in the group configuration, or ticking "make public" when sharing a folder, now requires someone to have an account and sign in before gaining access.

The public submission of comments is still accessible to people without an account on the server.

Modified: PageSeeder to require Java 21.

[pageseeder]/webapp/WEB-INF/config/database.properties

Added: to Send mail service support for internal=true parameter (admin only) which sets headers allowing a PageSeeder group on this or another server to receive the email.

Modified: OAuth client creation and editing to not allow 'all' scope for better security.

Added: to the ps:upload ANT task, parseuris="true". This sets the ANT property ps.upload.uriids to a comma-separated list of the URI IDs uploaded.

Also added to ps:request, parseids="[element name]" to parse the @id attribute on elements in the response and set the property ps.response.ids to a comma-separated list of IDs.

Added: support for <repeat days="1" daysofmonth="1,10,20"/>. A comma-separated list of numbers to restrict the ANT script to running on the days of the month listed. Requires a repeat interval of 1 day or less.

Fixed: running different tasks on a concurrent schedule, in the same project.
