Winter v1.2.15

UX/UI Improvements

• Added expand / collapse controls to the Relation FormWidget.
• Added a "select all records matching this query" option to list bulk actions, enabled by default on newly scaffolded controllers.
• Record navigation now follows a named list and can be overridden by the controller.
• Refreshed the Winter logos and exposed the backend brand colours as CSS variables.
• Option icons are now shown in select2 dropdowns that allow custom values.
• Compacted the icon picker and fixed its behaviour inside dynamic forms.
• Confirm dialogs now accept input as soon as they open.
• Added accessible names to the datepicker and single file upload widgets.

API Changes

• Removed Winter's override of the e() helper, so e() now behaves as Laravel defines it (with $doubleEncode defaulting to true). Code that relied on the override's handling of non-string values should pass a string, or cast before calling.
• Ini parsing now returns values as they are written in the file instead of substituting PHP constants of the same name.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed the indentation of the checkboxlist form field.
• Fixed input.monitor.js for relation filters.
• Fixed NestedForm falling back to the parent model when empty.
• Added the cache_locks table required by the database cache driver.
• Added node_modules as an allowed asset import root.
• Fixed support for symlinked plugins in the asset PackageManager.
• Authenticated users are now redirected away from the password restore form.
• The package manifest is now rebuilt when provider loading is retried.

Security Improvements

• Hardened backend controller URL handling.
• Confined the Media Manager and the image resizer to their configured roots.
• Applied the relation, list and reorder behaviours' own record scoping to their write paths.
• Tightened report widget selection and dashboard layout rendering.
• Improved escaping of stored values rendered by backend widgets and settings pages.
• Tightened the asset combiner's import confinement and error output, and made it consistent across LESS and SCSS.
• Improved the removal of unsafe attributes in Html::clean().
• Constrained generated thumbnail file names to the formats the resizer can encode.
• Hardened per-item permission checks in the Settings controller.
• Hardened the project's own code style utilities.

Translation Improvements

• Improved French translations.
• Improved Italian translations.

Performance Improvements

• Model method relations are now resolved once instead of on every access.
• Column lists are stored before queries are cached in memory.
• A Halcyon lookup for a template that does not exist is now cached as a hit, so rendering no longer asks the datasource for the missing override on every request.

Community Improvements

• Reduced the runtime of the PHP test suite by roughly six times on CI, and added the MigratesDatabaseOnce trait that plugin test suites can opt into for the same benefit.
• Expanded AGENTS.md with guidance on the asset pipelines, symlinked plugin development, backend styling iteration, and running phpcs locally before pushing.
• composer audit now ignores advisories that do not apply to the supported Laravel version.

Dependencies

• Bump minimum version of assetic/framework to v3.2.3.
• Bump enshrined/svg-sanitize to ~1.0.
• Added an explicit requirement on league/commonmark ^2.10.2.
