Digital Platform October 2024 (24.10) Update

Version 24.10 of the UO Communications web platform has been released (tagged 24.10). This release has the following changes:

UO Cosmic Theme/UO Core

  • Updated Resource Listing component template to use h3's, uls, and li's to improve accessibility
  • Improved contrast on CTA Buttons over hero photos/videos for better legibility
  • Updated envelope classes to use overflow: clip instead of overflow hidden to allow position:sticky and scroll-driven animations using "view()" to function in them
  • Envelope templates now add ?auto=webp to the background images to prevent the fastly CDN from using low-res alternatives on certain sites
  • Added Scroll-Timeline Polyfill to core assets to allow the use of those CSS attributes for scroll-driven animations

UO Communications Install Profile

  • Duck ID login link has updated language (No longer one word)
  • Newly uploaded files will have their filenames transliterated to lowercase, latin characters, spaces replaced with dashes. To ensure better compatibility with links and other systems. This does not affect files previously uploaded prior to 10/17/2024.

Betas

  • Version 2 of our grid component is now in beta testing, this should not yet be used in production content, but can be explored to identify final bugs and issues before it is live. The core classes for grid-v2 is the same as v1 grids, but with "grid-v2" instead of "grid" ("grid grid--2col" would be "grid-v2 grid-v2--2col" and "grid__item" would be "grid-v2__item"). Additional documentation about grid-v2.
