Release 1.8
This page contains public notes for Release 1.8; including features, bugfixes, and general enhancements.
Release Testing
Release 1.8 is going to be used as an opportunity for the Bluebird Documentation team to enhance the stability of the website. We've added several features to enhance user trust in our website, but we're going to be looking at automation testing in particular to make sure that future features are not breaking any existing functionalities.
So far, all testing has been manual. As we continue to add more and more features, it's getting increasingly difficult to test everything before every release. We just wanted to take some time in a release to set up automation testing to help speed up the testing task every release.
Other than general enhancements and bugfixes, there won't be any other new, significant features coming this release.
Enhancements
- We've already added the ability to attach ZIP files to documents. We're going to change this, so that documents accept more file types; just as long as the file size is below the existing limit.
- Add a share button for public team workspace documents; like there is for individual public documents, which will lead viewers outside of the workspace to the public Bluebird Documentation website.
- Add the public indicator for team workspace documents.
Add the public documentation search button to the team workspace sidebar.When users that aren't signed in visit a public page on the main Bluebird Documentation website, they should see a home icon and register icon on the top left.- When the enhanced right click is enabled, and a document on the sidebar or any of the dashboard widgets is clicked, there should be an option to open on a new tab.
- Public BBD Website: Search mechanism on the main page to search through public documents.
- Add a more user friendly message when users attempt to log in with invalid credentials.
- When hovering over items in the sidebar, there should be an option to quickly navigate to the edit page.
- Public BBD Website: Add simple filtering options for the main page.
- Public BBD Website: Don't display documents in the main page that don't have any content.
- If a user visits a team workspace document that is public, it should redirect them to the public BBD website.
Bugfixes
- Public BBD Website: When sharing a document on a platform like LinkedIn, X, etc, it's possible that the share link is not generated correctly by the platform. This is due to potential metadata issues on our end.
- For individual documents, created two spaces with the same name causes two duplicate records in the database; this should not be allowed.
- Due to internet connection issues on the users end, or server issues on our end, there may sometimes be disconnect between a user's info in our authentication platform, and our database.
- The verify email message on the home page may show initially even if the user is verified.
- If an individual document is favorited, and then later deleted, it still appears as a favorite.
- Fix the padding and margins in the document options panel for team workspace documents. Should match the padding and margins of individual documents.
- If a user tries to register an account with an existing email, the error message simply says that registration failed. The error message should be more specific that the email is already in use.
- Public team workspace documents do not show the public status indicator.
- When in fullscreen mode in the Quill rich text editor, there is some padding between the bottom line of the editor and the bottom of the browser that should not be there.
- Users not able to delete document attachments from Team Workspace documents.
