The 2024.2 release is available from the 29th of October 2024. The new version streamlines workflows and boosts productivity for developers, admins, and end users. With these latest updates, you can experience a more powerful and user-friendly censhare. Let's see the highlights.

CORE updates

Extended Git integration for masterdata: This extension is ideal for customers and partners looking to reuse customizations across projects. It reserves the masterdata.xml files in the project’s custom repository, allowing easy application through a git pull. Simply put, you can apply previously built customizations in any project, reducing development time and costs.

Remember the last scroll position: censhare remembers where you last scrolled when searching for assets in a long list and switching to another tab. This feature lets you return to the exact spot you left off.

DAM updates

Rich text UI control: We’ve created a new UI control component that can be added to any String-based asset property to enhance it with rich text capabilities. This provides users with more formatting options, making descriptions more engaging. The Rich text UI control can be configured to set styling preferences and introduce character limits.

Double-page preview: Improved preview experience for print materials with double-page and double-page with cover preview options. Get an accurate feel of the final product, catch layout issues, improve design coherence, and streamline the review process.

Print setup profile: Define print and page setup profiles for your users in the censhare Java Client. This eliminates the need for repeated configurations; users can simply select a print setup profile and hit the print button.

PIM update

Collapsable search filters: Say goodbye to endless scrolling in the filter navigation pane. Filters are now collapsed by default, displaying only the top five filters that yield the most results. We've also added a "Show all / less" button to expand or collapse filter nodes as needed.

CMS updates

Adobe InCopy change highlights update: We’ve enhanced the user experience by consistently highlighting text changes across clients, including the changes made in the censhare web client. These change highlights are especially beneficial for publishing companies or anyone working with icml files and tracking changes across platforms, improving workflow consistency and collaboration during asset editing.

Configure the PDF download file name: Previously, downloaded PDFs from the censhare content editor had seemingly random and unclear names. Now you can configure how these files should be named. By default, they will be named after the name of the asset.

Additional updates

We've added other new capabilities and updates to make sure censhare is up to date when it comes to security and compatibility.

Adobe InDesign plugin update​: The new version will be compatible with Adobe’s Creative Cloud 2025.​

macOS Sequoia support: This ensures censhare’s compatibility with the latest macOS version released in June 2024.

Library updates: We've updated many libraries, including PDF.js, Typescript 5.5, eslint 9, GraphQL Java 19.2, htmlcleaner 2.29. For the complete list of library updates, please visit the Documentation.
