New stable versions of the 3.9 Architect & Framework have been released.
You will automatically get the new stable Architect version when you select “Current stable” in the Novulo Architect Starter or 3.9 in Deployment.
You will automatically get the new stable Framework version when you use the 3.9 generator and select “use source framework” in your installation. This release includes all changes previously released as NB, so to use these changes, you no longer have to select an NB framework.
The changes for the Architect & Framework have been tested for some time, and should not have any negative side-effects. In case you encounter an issue anyway, or if you have questions about one of the PIs, feel free to contact us.
Release notes
Architect (3.9.C13583)
PI54682 - Improve UX of predefined subsystems, modules and virtual pages
The following usability improvements have been made for virtual pages and predefined modules:
- When you mark a page as a virtual page it gets automatically the concept’s name as the page name (in each language).
- Problem checking has been implemented to compare the name of the virtual page with the name of the linked concept. When it differs an info message is created with a quick fix to set the concept’s name as the page name. In Architect version 3.10 and later this info message will become a styling issue, which influences QA scanner results.
- It is possible to sort the virtual pages by name with an option in the mouse context menu of the Virtual module.
- Modules in the system (mainly for modules in the Application Maintenance subsystem) are now also checked on their name and on their Order property. If it is incorrect a styling issue is created with a quick fix.
- In the concept manager it is now possible to switch to the details page or the virtual page of a concept via the mouse context menu.
