Docs

  • "Srcset only that won't be found in bolt.data.images and not lazy loaded"

Fixes

• Bolt Link: fixed an issue with a small amount of extra whitespace being visible on the left side of the Bolt Link component in certain situations #1220
• BoltConnect Module: updated the BoltConnect Drupal module to restore missing Twig namespaces that were previously displaying on the bolt_connect info page in Drupal #1199
• Figure component: fixed a rendering issue with the Figure component when used inside the carousel component and loop is set to true. #1219
• Modal Component: adjusted how the new modal component's open / close animation is handled so the animation no longer skips to being open + the close animation fades the entire container correctly. #1218
• Updated the package.json to several components / published packages to not use devDependencies or peerDependencies. Addresses install and build issues flagged when testing the Drupal Lab example with the team and encountered these unexpected issues. #1189
• Fixed a bug with attributes that had been occurring when list (list, ol, and ul) components contained empty elements #1188
• Video component: reworked some of the video component’s JavaScript to prevent sporadic bugs that can result from videos being initialized by Brightcove multiple times #1180
• Table component and List component: fixed an issue related to HTML encoding and "UTF-8" when passing in arrays of content #1179
• Inline List component: fixed an issue with the inline list with inset spacing poking out of its container #1100
• List component: updated the <bolt-list>'s web component so the flex option is styled and behaves the same way as the Twig-template version. #1111

DevOps Updates #1182

• Fixed the internal API rendering service to properly handle API requests w/o a 'Content-Type': 'application/json' header. #1178
• Updated now.sh scaling max config to reduce total number of server instances running #1181
• Refactor and reorganization of globally shared configs; packaged up existing files related to Nightwatch and Jest testing, and misc DevOps cleanup a related to configuration, testing and the build process. #1197
• Updated a number of Bolt component and package dependencies, in addition to fixing a few bugs with the API rendering service and issues with yarn installs.
• Updated the Bolt monorepo config for Lerna to not ignore the SSR server folder (nohoist) to improve yarn install stability. Additionally, these updates added a new "warmup" function to the build tools image task as a possible workaround to the sharp SVG-related build errors that are still periodically occurring. (ex. #1176 (comment)) #1166
• Added a new loading screen when booting up a new local dev server. 🎉

Detailed Updates

• Globally upgraded NPM package dependencies for the monorepo, docs site, build tools, shared configs, and Bolt core.
• Fixed an unexpected regression from #1178 causing components being rendered via the Component Explorer to be partially missing HTML in the response
• Updated the @bolt/build-tools to re-introduce a new and improved loading screen -- now working with webpack-dev-server!
• Monorepo Node.js version upgraded to the latest stable version (v10.15.3)
• Significantly fewer warnings when installing and running the Bolt monorepo locally
• Fixed a minor CSS layout issue causing unnecessary scrolling on the docs site homepage
• Upgrade the version / package name of the lit-element dependency getting used / tested out. Addresses #1162
• Removes all but one instance where we specify a twig/twig dependency in any of our composer.json files (now only specified in our Twig renderer package). Not only should this help make it easier to manage which version gets used in the monorepo, but this should also help decouple which version of Twig ultimately gets used downstream, hopefully helping to address issues flagged like #1175
• Updated the docs site-specific .boltrc config to automatically open a new tab when booting up a new dev server instance.

As a future update this ideally could be customized per developer's personal preference via a local config file that gets merged with these repo-specific defaults -- one that isn't version controlled

Docs Site, Integration Examples, etc

• Example Angular Integration: created a new example integration for Angular and for static HTML / other CMS systems integration. #1154
  

Deprecations
