  • Fixed an issue preventing a CMS UI popup initiated from the submission of a form from being reopened upon a resubmission.
  • Fixed an issue showing duplicates of standard image sizes in the resized image popup.

Breaking changes

  • Changes were made to remain current with jsoup; however, in doing so, library updates to whitespace handling may change textual content, like stripping spaces that were not previously stripped, vice versa, and other changes. Projects running versions that implement these changes (4.5.15.23, 4.5.27, 4.7.20, and 4.8.0) must address any potential issues surrounding this. The update is from 1.14.3 -> 1.17.3. See jsoup News and release notes for more information on how to resolve issues. Additional references can be found in jsoup’s Parser documentation and on their Issues repository.
