View on GitHub CMS Changes Framework Changes

UX/UI Improvements

Added previous / next record navigation to backend forms.
Added new fieldset FormWidget that visually groups form fields together in the Form widget.

API Changes

Public controller methods used as a page action must now be named in lowercase — coming_soon() rather than comingSoon() — and dashed URLs are normalised to snake_case, so /coming-soon now resolves to coming_soon() instead of comingSoon(). Plugins with a camelCase page action should rename the method and its view file to match; the published URL does not need to change

Bug Fixes

Improved handling of the password reset flow for users that don't exist.
Fixes issue where if an exception is thrown during a Halcyon force deletion it would leave the datastore stuck in force deletion mode.

Security Improvements

Improved escaping of BrandSetting & EditorSetting custom CSS settings.
Fixed reflected XSS in the backend Table widget.
Hardened the image column type to prevent potential XSS from untrusted user input.
Tightened import export controller behavior permissions checking.
Hardened the MyAccount controller added in v1.2.13.
Hardened backend request routing to close off CSRF attacks targeting AJAX handlers.

Translation Improvements

Improved Ukrainian translations.

Performance Improvements

Reduced front-end database queries from CMS templates, theme data, and request logs.
Resolve Halcyon DB template mtimes without a query per check.

Community Improvements

Added GitHub action to automatically update the official Winter docker image when new Winter versions are released.

Dependencies

Bump minimum version of assetic/framework to v3.2.2.
