Enhancements enhancements-26635

  • GRANITE-67251: Introduced cqSiteSearch, a new out-of-the-box index defined over the cq:Searchable mixin type. This allows fine-grained control over what content goes into the site index and provides full-fledged site search for AEM websites, including semantic search.

  • SKYOPS-135241: Introduce aem prefix for immutable farm filters to avoid naming conflicts with customer-defined configurations.

AEM Guides guides-26635

  • GUIDES-46275: Image dimensions specified with units such as mm are not rendered correctly, causing images to be displayed at their original size instead of the specified dimensions.
  • GUIDES-45800: Copying and pasting <keywords> inside <topicmeta> within a <keydef> or <topicref> results in the keywords being inserted inside unwanted foreign tags.
  • GUIDES-45409: When a map contains an external topicref pointing to a non-DITA resource (such as .html), its preview is not displayed in the Assets UI.
  • GUIDES-45254: When working with .plt and .css files in PDF templates, the Generate IDs option is available in the right-click context menu despite not being applicable to these file types.
  • GUIDES-45508: Applying a baseline to a map with many assets delays loading of the translation report for the selected language, sometimes leading to request timeout before the report renders.
  • GUIDES-45511: The tooltip for the Version History icon is missing in the left panel of the Review UI adjacent to the topic name.
  • GUIDES-44942: When adding questions to a quiz using the Insert from question bank option, short answer questions are not listed despite having a valid Question ID.
