Bug Fixes
UO Cosmic Theme
- Fixed bug in firefox where JS would break under certain circumstances.
- Adjusted link underlines so that they appear inside generic envelopes to ensure links are clearly visible.
- Fixed Chrome/Webkit search placeholder text visibility issues.
UOVanilla Profile
- Fixed profile content type to use proper image field.
- Removed 404 Errors on WYSIWYG pages due to missing wysiwyg css file.
Known Issues
UO Homepage Subtheme
- The Homepage theme has a regression when using Cosmic 17.05 where the site does not properly show mobile friendly versions of the site on phones in certain web browsers. This issue does not occur on the Cosmic theme itself, or with the Homepage theme and earlier versions of Cosmic. If you are still using the homepage theme, you are recommended to convert your site to use the Cosmic theme instead. If you are subtheming the UOregon theme, it is recommended that you update your subtheme to reference the Cosmic theme as the parent.
Required Action by Users
Site Administrators
The cosmic theme has removed old deprecated versions of the card (badge), grid, feature, and envelope components. Make sure you are using the current css classes for those components before you upgrade or you may experience parts of your site that will not display properly.
