What’s new in March 2025

Image varieties can be selected and rendered by components and content page content

Content editors often do not need a full-size image when adding images to page content. Image varieties can be used to generate appropriately sized images for content, to help decrease page load times and sizes.

Varieties have been a part of the core Content Management product offering for a long time. However, modern page-building features like components and the content page asset could not take advantage of the image varieties feature found in standard page assets.

This month, variety support is back again for components and content page assets.

This addition gives content authors control of image sizes and varieties that match the content, allowing them to choose an appropriate-sized image.

Changes to how 404s from the __data path are handled in Content Management

Details

The implementation of how data paths are used is changing. 404s from the data are now redirected if they appear valid.

The existing implementation was causing an unacceptable number of 404 errors.

Users sometimes see cached authenticated content after signing out

Details

The authentication MAC cache was not cleared when the user logged out. After logging out, the user could see logged-in page content if the instance was behind a MAC cache.

A call to regenerate the session ID has been added during logout to prevent MAC from using the same cached session immediately. When the user on a MAC instance logs out, the page no longer has cached content for authenticated sessions.
