• Feature li-desknet and li-desknet-integration, including all server APIs
• Server config desknet, integrations.desknet, and hugo.print.desknetMetadataFields
• Project config settings.desknet, settings.integrations.desknet, and contentTypes.[*].desknet
• Function parameter desknetApi of Desk-Net/Kordiam functions
• desknet property in the return objects of projectApi.getProject() and systemApi.config()
• Metadata plugins li-desknet-global, li-desknet-integration, and li-desknet-schedule
• li-kordiam-schedule config property desknetExternalElementIdMetadataPath
• TODO: @marcbachmann -> API urls changes?

Removal of Menu Tool 🔥

The Menu Tool has been removed.

• Menu items {liItem: 'menus'} are no longer supported. Please remove them from the project config.
• Public API GET /api/:apiVersion/menus/:channelHandle? has been removed.
• Feature li-menus has been removed including all its server APIs.

Removal of config.contentTypes 🔥

The deprecated shorthand property config.contentTypes in the li-document-search metadata plugin was now removed. Use config.contentType instead.

Deprecations

There have been no deprecations since the last release.

Features

Exposure Boosting 🎁

When using algorithmic teasers, the order of the documents is determined by a sort criteria. Oftentimes, this is the latest publication date. By activating the exposure boost for a document, it will appear before all non-boosted documents returned by an algorithm. This is useful, in scenarios where algorithms receive high frequency updates and important topics would get pushed down quickly. The effect will go away automatically after a certain time.

1. Add the li-exposure-boost plugin to your content type metadata

   {
     handle: 'article',
     // ...
     metadata: [
       // ...
       {
         handle: 'exposureBoost',
         type: 'li-exposure-boost',
         config: {
           index: true
         }
       }
     ]
   }
   

   • handle: Make sure to use the same handle for all content types where the plugin is configured
   • indexing: The config option index needs to be enabled for it to work

2. Generally allow exposure boosting for certain teasers in their service params schema

   {
     name: 'someTeaserService',
     paramsSchema: [
       // ...
       {
         handle: 'someTeaser',
         type: 'li-teaser',
         config: {
           // ...
           algorithm: {
             // ...
             allowExposureBoost: true
           }
         }
       }
     ]
   }
   

3. Show the exposure boost UI on a Table Dashboard (optional)

   {
     handle: 'someDashboard',
     // ...
     columns: [
       // ...
       {
         label: 'Boost',
         minWidth: 100,
         growFactor: 0,
         priority: 1,
         metadataPropertyName: 'exposureBoost',
         editable: true
       }
     ]
   }

Document Inbox for Data Records 🎁

Media Center Image Editing 🎁

PEIQ Integration - Article Import 🎁

Media Center - Delete language metadata set 🎁

Table Dashboards - Support All Metadata Cells 🎁

In earlier iterations of the Table Dashboards, metadata plugin support was limited. However, as the feature has become more widely adopted inconsistencies across plugin behaviour became confusing and problematic.

This release addresses that gap by adding support for a broader range of metadata plugins in table dashboards, improving completeness and consistency across the system. Newly supported plugins include:

• li-datetime, li-system-datetime
• li-date, li-system-date
• li-enum, li-system-enum
• li-document-references
• li-target-length

Additional oEmbed Providers 🎁

Added Clipboard Context

This release enhances clipboard usability for nested components. Previously, when copying or cutting nested components, the clipboard displayed only the component name, with no descriptive context making it difficult to distinguish between components, especially those with identical names. The clipboard preview now includes the content of the first descendant as a description, providing better context and improving the overall editing experience.

Clickable Titles in Teaser Sidebar

Teaser titles are now clickable, allowing editors to directly open the linked article in a new window without needing to navigate to it manually. This enables more efficient workflows for all those roles that work with the teaser sidebar.

Vulnerability Patches

We are constantly patching module vulnerabilities for the Livingdocs Server and Livingdocs Editor as module fixes are available. Below is a list of all patched vulnerabilities included in the release.

Livingdocs Server

This release we have patched the following vulnerabilities in the Livingdocs Server:

• CVE-2025-32442 patched in fastify v5.3.2
• [CVE-2025-27789] https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-968p-4wvh-cqc8 patched @babel/runtime & @babel/helpers v7.26.10

No known vulnerabilities. 🎉

Livingdocs Editor

This release we have patched the following vulnerabilities in the Livingdocs Editor:

• CVE-2025-32442 patched in fastify v5.3.2
• [CVE-2025-27789] https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-968p-4wvh-cqc8 patched @babel/runtime & @babel/helpers v7.26.10

We are aware of the following vulnerabilities in the Livingdocs Editor:

• CVE-2023-44270 vulnerability in postcss, it affects linters using PostCSS to parse external Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). It is not exploitable in the editor as we don’t load untrusted external CSS at build time.
• CVE-2023-26116, CVE-2023-26118, CVE-2023-26117, CVE-2022-25869, CVE-2022-25844 are all AngularJS vulnerabilities that don’t have a patch available. We are working on removing all AngularJS from our code and vulnerabilities will go away when we complete the transition to Vue.js.
