Brightspot Releases

v4.8.4 release

Release date: April 1, 2025


v4.8.4 had one new features, two improvements, and 11 bug fixes.

Significant new features

  • Added author personas to Create with AI, enabling content creators to specify writing tone and style, ensuring AI-generated content aligns with brand guidelines.

Significant improvements

  • Added conversation history to Ask AI, providing users the ability to access and manage their previous interactions.
  • Improved filter clearing functionality in CMS search so that it works as intended.

Significant defects addressed

  • Corrected an issue when viewing a previous revision that prevented the Name Revision and Compare to Live links from being aligned properly.
  • Resolved an issue that at times prevented Preview to Edit from working.
  • Fixed an issue in which, if a class implements SearchExtension, and a user attempts to save a filter in a saved search, the filter is not re-applied when accessing the saved search in the future, requiring that the user reapply those filters manually.
  • Fixed an issue where preview would at times experience slowness after an upgrade.
  • Fixed an issue causing Styleguide screenshot failures.
  • Fixed an issue causing the caption field, when included in a CMS search, was returned multiple times instead of once.
  • Fixed an issue where rich text alterations caused invalid GraphQL schema (GCA).
  • Improved exception handling so that the behavior is different depending on implementation (i.e., whether an exception is logged or thrown), with an emphasis on having exceptions thrown in GraphQL and other headless implementations.
  • Fixed an issue preventing metadata from being captured when using the OpenAI client with Create with AI.
