New Features and Enhancements

  • Third font style option — Site Settings now includes a third font pairing choice: Yale New with standard lining numerals, for sites that want a clean, modern number style throughout. We also updated the default option to make explicit that it uses old-style numerals in the site name and headings, so all three choices are now intentional and clearly labeled.
  • The Resource view block now support portrait-orientation images, making it easier to display book covers and vertically framed photography in a clean grid layout.
  • Event date changes in Campus Groups will now be reflected to the site on the next sync. Previously, dates were stuck at the originally-imported date.
  • Removed the “Multi-Day Event” Label from views and listing block results

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed a site’s custom branding name that would change back to “Yale University” when a site admin saved changes to the Header Settings in a content collection in site header.
  • Fixed the drag-and-drop overlay that blocked the “Add block” button when a block with no padding was placed at the bottom of a section with Content Preview disabled.
  • Fixed a menu hierarchy and drag-and-drop issue that was preventing editors from reorganizing large navigation structures.
  • Profile pages now correctly expose basic metatag fields in the manage settings sidebar.
  • Custom Vocabularies in Site Settings now default to “Custom Vocab” if the name field is left blank, preventing a confusing empty field.
  • Fixed a SoundCloud embeds using the newer double-encoded URL format. Now validates and renders correctly.
  • The pre-built form block now displays a clear configuration warning when a site is still using the default platform email address.
