Release date - May 18, 2020

This is a beta release for the next major version of the UT Drupal Kit. Betas are good testing targets for developers and site builders who are comfortable reporting (and where possible, fixing) their own bugs. Beta releases are not recommended for non-technical users, nor for production websites.

Release summary
The 3.0.0-beta.5.1 release resolved bugs introduced in the 3.0.0-beta.5 release, which was made publicly available on May 12, 2020. Sites that updated to 3.0.0-beta.5 in the past week should pay special attention to the notes below. Sites which have not updated to 3.0.0-beta.5 and are updating directly from 3.0.0-beta.4 to 3.0.0-beta.5.1 should not experience the bugs identified and can review the release notes for 3.0.0-beta.5 for a list of functional changes.
The 3.0.0-beta.5 release’s new functionality related to link fields introduced two notable issues:
Existing pages with Flex Content Area content that contained links would fail to load (eis1-wcs/utdk_profile#1094), and attempting to edit the page would also result in a fatal error.
Existing pages that included Promo List items with link values would no longer render the link value (eis1-wcs/utdk_profile#1094), and attempting to edit the page content would display the link data as empty.
Both issues have been fully resolved in 3.0.0-beta.5.1: pages with Flex Content Area will again load, and Promo List items with link values are preserved. All existing sites should be updated to 3.0.0-beta.5.1.
Known Issues
Autocomplete affects multiple adjacent link fields
While testing this release, ITS noted that the autocomplete input for links, updated in the beta.5 release, will erroneously offer to autocomplete multiple adjacent fields (see screenshot below). Content editors should be aware of this and ignore the additional autocomplete suggestions not related to the input field they are editing. ITS plans to remediate this issue in the upcoming release.
