Features

• CollabPads - Implement CollabPads for simultaneously editing in the wiki (ERM34634)
  • BlueSpice 4.5 introduces the new CollabPads feature. This feature allows multiple users to create and edit the content of a page simultaneously and to view the changes in real-time. The aim is to promote and simplify collaboration in teams during content creation. This feature is particularly suitable for the use case ''Meeting minutes" and creates a number of advantages, for example it allows storing "unsaved drafts".
• Notifications - Implement new notification system (ERM35557)
  • BlueSpice 4.5 introduces a completely new notification system. The new system simplifies the configuration options significantly by allowing users to subscribe to sets, eliminating the need for users to worry about specific settings to be informed about relevant events. The interfaces have also been revamped and the design has been adjusted. Additionally, notifications are now integrated into the application's header area, offering a dedicated mega menu for notifications. This menu includes an implicit mark as read function, so users do not necessarily have to access the notification center to keep track of received notifications. In addition, users now have the ability to use their own mail templates. The default templates can be customized in terms of content and design, providing a way for customization.
• AIEditingAssistant - Implement "AI editing assistant" (ERM35563)
  • BlueSpice 4.5 takes a first step towards AI by offering an editing assistant. This includes certain commands that allow the user to easily enrich the content of a page and support them with certain editing actions. Two different providers can currently be connected per configuration. The provider is not offered by Hallo Welt! GmbH, but must be configured by the system administrators themselves via the Configuration manager. The feature can be entirely deactivated if necessary.
• OAuth - Add extension OAuth to BlueSpice 4.5 (ERM36768)
  • BlueSpice 4.5 ships the extension OAuth. This extension is a new state-of-the-art authentication mechanism for automation purposes and allows a more simple integration of external tools and services.

Improvements

• Bookshelf - Implement new bookshelf (ERM33695)
  • BlueSpice 4.5 is features many UX improvements to the Bookshelf extension. A lighter and cleaner look ensures an appealing and simplified user interface. For a better overview, books can now be grouped into "shelves". An outstanding feature is that it is now finally possible to assign a page to several books, since the bookshelf tag in the page source has been removed. To ensure consistency in the editing of interface elements, the MenuEditor now serves as the new book editor.
• EnhancedStandard UIs - Implement new user interface for Special:Filelist (ERM33558)
  • BlueSpice 4.5 delivers a new user interface for the file list, which has been redesigned in terms of its design and functionality. The former page Special:ExtendedFileList has been replaced by Special:Filelist. The new overview on Special:Filelist offers both a grid and a tile view. Browsing files is supported by using the filter option above the list. In addition an information dialog has been implemented, which summarizes all relevant details about a file. Special:Filelist can be found both in the entry points of the main navigation and in the Global actions menu.
• EnhancedStandard UIs - Implement new user interface for Special:Pages (ERM33587)
  • BlueSpice 4.5 delivers a new user interface, which has been redesigned in terms of its design and functionality. This concerns the former Special:AllPages, which is now replaced by Special:Pages. The new overview on Special:Pages can be found both in the entry points of the main navigation and optimizes the overview of the pages. The booklet-like styling of the page makes it easier to get an overview of the pages in the individual namespaces. In addition, a filter option allows to quickly find pages in the selected namespace. Subpages are listed under the parent pages and are collapsed by default so that the space can be used efficiently.
• Workflows - Implement Workflows UI Editor (ERM 31898)
  • BlueSpice 4.5 now includes a visual editor for creating and editing workflows. The editor is based on the BPMN editor, allowing users to drag the individual shapes into the desired order and edit their allowed input values. In the background, the XML is generated, which can be viewed in the code editor and on which the workflow will be based after saving. The Workflows UI Editor aims to enhance BlueSpice with a modern and powerful graphical user interface, making it possible for users who are not familiar with XML to create their own workflows.

• TableTools - Add extension TableTools to BlueSpice 4.5 and create visual editor integration for sticky table header (ERM37550)
  • BlueSpice 4.5 ships the extension TableTools which allows to configure a sticky table header. There is also a VisualEditor integration for this when it comes to working with tables.
• NumberHeadings - Add extension NumberHeadings to BlueSpice 4.5 and implement config setting (ERM37551)
  • BlueSpice 4.5 ships the extension NumberHeadings. This extension enables the numbering of section headings. The setting can be activated in the Configuration manager and applies to the entire wiki. It is no longer based on user preferences.

Notable changes

With BlueSpice 4.5, the all-in-one Docker solution for BlueSpice free and BlueSpice pro is no longer available.

Free

• Notifications - Default sets will overwrite user-related settings after update (ERM34120)
  • BlueSpice 4.5 provides a new notification system. Therefore the old notification settings cannot be taken into account and may need to be changed manually by users themselves. The default notification subscription sets that are already activated are Namespace:Main - Content low-frequency and Wachtlist - Content high-frequency.
• Notifications - Web notifications cannot be turned off (ERM30580)
  • BlueSpice 4.5 introduces a new notification system. Web notifications can no longer be deactivated. This is a design decision.
  • Important notifications are sent to users by default and cannot be managed in the subscription center. These notifications trigger both web and email notifications. This is a design decision.
• Notifications - Special:NotificationCenter is only accessible via menu integration (ERM30739)
  • The link in the user menu to the Notification center has been removed. A notifications icon has been added to the Discovery skin instead. Clicking the icon opens the latest notifications and provides a link to the Notification center. This is a design decision.
• Notifications - Email client might not render logo and styling by default (ERM37678)
  • It may happen that the email templates are not displayed correctly with regards to their logo and styling. Users must therefore adjust the settings in the email client.

  • BlueSpice 4.5 replaces the original overview page Special:AllPages. The new page Special:Pages will not consider displaytitle, but page names only.
• BlueSpiceExtendedSearch - Improve searching for book titles and book content (ERM33699)
  • BlueSpice 4.5 allows to search for book titles and book content more easily. The Search center now includes a dedicated book filter. In addition, any related result includes a small marker Part of book: , so that the user can see in the search results if a page is part of a book. In addition, a new ContentDroplet is introduced, which is called Search in a book. This adds a pre-configured tag-search to a page that searches the pages from a specified book.
• VisualEditorPlus - Add convenience functions  to VisualEditor (ERM37448)  
  • In BlueSpice 4.5 the VisualEditorPlus extension includes new convenience shortcuts for inline formatting and also supports the usage of Unicode Emojis.

Pro

• Bookshelf - New bookshelf does no longer support own or temporary books (ERM37610)
  • The new Bookshelf implementation no longer supports "own" or "temporary" books. Own books will not get lost after updating to BlueSpice 4.5, but rather be stored as a list of links via the user profile (e.g., User:Vhoesl/...)
