Full list of issues fixed and Dashboard for <full version here even for RC, e.g. 10.5>.

For Users

Live Data Macro

 
A new Live Data rendering macro is available to display dynamic lists of data. You can see it as a replacement of the existing Live Table macro, but it's not limited to that. We plan to add support for:

  • multiple layouts (table, cards, etc.)
  • advanced filtering
  • multi-sort
  • selection and batch actions
  • in-place data editing and creation (including support for editing the data structure)
  • real-time synchronization

For Admins

Logging Administration uses Live Data Macro

 
The Logging Administration section is now using the new Live Data macro to list the available loggers, instead of the old live table.

Miscellaneous

For Developers

Administration sections executed with the right author

 
The content of the administration sections used to be inserted as is into the general administration code forcing it to disable programming right to avoid dangerous code injection. Configuration section content is now executed with the right of its author and with all the rights of its author so not longer require display macro based hacks to workaround the previous limitation.
