BlueSpice free 2.23.3 – Beta released
On Tuesday, 10th May 2016, we released BlueSpice free 2.23.3-beta, a minor and maintenance version.
Download it here at Sourceforge.
As it’s still a beta version – the final release is scheduled for the end of May – we need YOU to put it to the acid test. Please report bugs, patches and other feedback to our Sourceforge Forums. Any feedback is appreciated 🙂
Here are some notable new features of BlueSpice free 2.23.3:
- Compatibility: BlueSpice can now be used with MediaWiki 1.27.
- BlueSpice API: There is now a standardized API for many BlueSpice actions.
- ContextMenu: The extension is now enabled by default.
- Dashboards: There is a wiki page portlet, which allows you to use any wiki page as a dashboard item. Create your own portlets!
- ExtendedSearch: Introduces facet operators, which indicate whether multiple selections in a facet should be combined using AND or OR logic. It is now also possible to open articles in the autocomplete list in new windows or tabs.
- Flexiskin: It is now possible to disable the background image.
- GroupManager: Raised group name character limit from 16 to 255.
- InsertMagic: Tag descriptions are now much more descriptive.
