Release Notes

Magellan

  • Books without a Landing Page Rotator topic now include and format the Content Page topics correctly on publish.

Author

  • Find and replace now functions correctly when the find term wraps to a new line.
  • On closing a book, the save reminder message now also includes the number of topics inserted and removed.

  • Text is now saved correctly in nested table cells when topics include more than one nested table.
  • SVG images used in file objects retain clarity in published outputs.
  • Book publishing to a web output no long fails when the book includes an SVG file that is scaled to less than 10% in the file object.
  • When using Author-it in a non-English environment with the user interface translated, the window for selecting metadata when using the metadata search filter now correctly displays the `All criteria` and `Any criteria`options.

Review

  • The list of users shown in the review creation form when choosing review participants, editors, approvers and signers, now shows only users with the Review, Contributor or Author role assigned.
  • All signers in an approval review can now still complete their sign-off after one signer has rejected the review.
  • Editors can now accept and reject review suggestions in topics that have already been moved to the editorial state.

Contribute

  • Editing and saving a topic in Contribute that uses a variable in the topic description/heading, now correctly shows the variable name in the heading when viewed in Author, rather than the variable XML code.
  • Contribute now opens as expected when switching between libraries in a multi-library environment.
  • The user roles shown in the Contribute Update User screen and under the Home Page User Access are now synchronized.

Localize

  • Index heading entries with no target topic are now included in translation jobs.
  • Second-level index entries in a non-translation release state (where translation release states are used) are no longer causing a translation job to fail.
  • The book modified date shown in the Create Translation Jobs window in Localize is now synchronized with the Author Library Explorer modified date.
  • Related Topic groups using Specific Links with defined target topics are now added to new locale variant topics on Localize job creation.
  • Localize On-Premises: licenses are now released when a user closes the browser without first logging out of Localize.

Administration

  • Library administrators, who are not library users, can now be defined with access to the Author-it cloud administration functions only.

Publishing

  • On book publish, linked file objects with missing source SVG or EPS files are replaced with a placeholder in the topic. Author-it no longer tries to convert this placeholder to the source format, which caused a publishing error. The publish Log now records that the image is missing and that it cannot be converted.
  • Logged-in users can now download published outputs from the publishing completed notification email link.

Files

  • The Documents folder under `My Files` is now always created for all new users added to the cloud using the new user settings in Contribute.
