Apostrophe 3.55.0 Async API permission checks, schema field refresh, and Pro module polishing

[BoDonkey]

Ahoy, Apostrophe Allies!

You might notice that this release cycle seems a bit quieter than usual, but don't let that fool you. Behind the scenes, we've been laying the groundwork for some exciting new features. Most notably, our engineering team has been laser-focused on perfecting the "Import/Export" module. This will allow you to select specific content from one site, download it, and then seamlessly import it into another site.

While our primary focus has been on this new feature, we haven't ignored the rest of the Apostrophe ecosystem. Several other modules have received important fixes and incremental improvements to ensure a smoother, more reliable experience for all users. Whether it's bug fixes, performance enhancements, or small feature additions, we're committed to making Apostrophe better with each release.

To take advantage of all these improvements, don't forget to run npm update in your project's root directory. This will ensure you're working with the latest and most stable version of Apostrophe.

Apostrophe 3.55.0

Adds

• Add publicApiCheckAsync wrapper method (and use it internally) to allow for overrides to do async permission checks of REST APIs. This feature doesn't introduce any breaking changes because the default implementation still invokes publicApiCheck in case developers have overridden it.

Fixes

• Refresh schema field with same name in AposDocEditor when the schema changes.
• Infer parent ID mode from the request when retrieving the parent (target) page to avoid notfound.
• Log the actual REST API error message and not the one meant for the user.
• Hide dash on autopublished pages title.

Apostrophe 3.x modules

@apostrophecms/redirect 1.2.3

Manages site redirects for Apostrophe.

Fixes

• Fixes redirections when using locale prefixes.

Pro modules

@apostrophecms-pro/basics 1.4.0

This module adds a range of basic widgets and their configurations to @apostrophecms-pro/multisite. Contact us or visit our new pricing page to learn more.

Changes

• Updates README with additional information about module usage and styling.
• Adds conditional to the @apostrophecms-pro/basics-card-widget to hide the buttonStyle field when the image is acting as the button.
• Changes the navigation.html macro so that selecting to center the logo doesn't result in multiple empty div tags.

@apostrophecms-pro/advanced-permission 1.6.1

This module provides more granular control over content permission. It allows the creation of custom groups with proscribed abilities and the ability to assign users to as few or as many groups as desired. Users and groups can also be assigned per-document and per-locale permissions allowing for fine control of who can edit and publish any document. Contact us or visit our new pricing page to learn more.

Fixes

• When there is only one locale in a project, users get permissions for this locale by default as was intended.
• Updates the rolesByType field convert method to set the role to none if it is contributor but the type has no contributor option.
