Please report issues with this release in the issue tracker. You can collaborate on this release or share feedback by using the discussion tools on Gitter.
Additional support for content and metadata management
After some time the content and metadata management hasn't been loved enough, with this version of ADF there are a good number of improvements on the way to consume content metadata in ADF components and ADF based applications. Most of them are developed for an improved and more appealing end-user experience.
As one of the most requested enhancements, it would be valuable to highlight the changed User Experience in the metadata editing on the adf-card-view-component (ADF-4900).
Check ADF-5108 for the full list of issues done.
Improved accessibility
To help the accessibility of ADF based applications, some colour changes have been developed with the purpose to reach the AA Accessibility. Check 1. ADF-5089 for the full list of issues done.
Localisation
This release includes: Arabic, Brazilian Portuguese, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Norwegian (Bokmål), Polish, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Spanish and Swedish versions.
