RO CSVI 8.17.0 release
The RO CSVI 8.17.0 release is primarily a bugfix release. Since we now release every 4 weeks, the updates are smaller and bugs get fixed faster but his also means that there are less features in each release. Which can be considered a good thing as well because a release no longer has to wait for a feature to be finished. Once it is ready it will come immediately within the next release that is at most a month away.
Google Token
After the RO CSVI 8.16.0 release in which we did an overhaul of the Google token process, an issue crept up in Joomla 3. that has been fixed. Further we have improved the error handling to be more user-friendly in case an error occurs.
Joomla Content import
The Joomla Content import has a new option in which you can specify to delete all tag relations and only import the tags in your import file.
Notable changes
This release has a number of changes across the board that are notable:
- A Template restore button has been added to the templates list to quickly to restore a template
- Whenever you do a menu import that contains the id field, RO CSVI will show a warning that you are potentially breaking your website. This to warn users that it might be a dangerous operation to perform.
