Caveat 🔥

These are the release notes of the upcoming release (pull requests merged to the main branch).

• ℹ️ this document is updated automatically by a bot (pr’s to categorize section)
• ℹ️ this document will be roughly updated manually once a week (put PRs + description to the right section)
• 🔥 We don’t guarantee stable APIs. They can still change until the official release
• 🔥 Integration against the upcoming release (currently master branch) is at your own risk

Breaking Changes 🔥

Replaced News Agency Properties displayFilterOptionsSource and displayFilterOptionsCategory 🔥

The news agency project configuration properties newsAgency.screens[].displayFilterOptionsSource and newsAgency.screens[].displayFilterOptionsCategory have been replaced by new properties newsAgency.sources and newsAgency.categories, respectively (see Displaying Custom Values for News Agency Report Properties).

Removed Server Feature li-design-stats 🔥

Server feature li-design-stats, including its server API (designStatsApi.listDesigns), has been removed. In addition, the server API projectApi.getStats has also been removed. Please remove any usages of these APIs.

Removed Functions sql, insert, and begin of lib/db 🔥

• Function require('@livingdocs/server/lib/db').sql has been removed. Please use liServer.db.sql instead.
• Function require('@livingdocs/server/lib/db').insert has been removed. Please use liServer.db.insert instead.
• Function require('@livingdocs/server/lib/db').begin has been removed. Please use liServer.db.begin instead.

API documentApi.executeDocumentCommands Requires Parameter userId 🔥

Unpublishing documents with documentApi.executeDocumentCommands without providing a userId is no longer supported. Please provide a userId.

iMatrics Category Concepts Shown By Default 🔥

iMatrics concepts of type category are now shown by default. Previously, they were excluded unless ignoredConceptTypes: [] was set.

If you want to keep the existing behavior, please set ignoredConceptTypes: ['category'] in your li-imatrics-nlp-tags metadata configuration.

Deprecations

Features

News Agency Improvements

This release refines the News Agency module with new metadata properties and user experience improvements.

These improvements have also been backported to release-2025-09.

New Metadata Properties for News Agency Reports

News agency reports have been extended to include two optional metadata properties:

• location: Stores geographical information related to a report (e.g., city, region, or country).
• note: Contains additional details from the news agency, such as contact information or publishing restrictions.

Both properties are displayed alongside the already existing metadata properties.

Displaying Custom Values for News Agency Report Sources and Categories

You can now define custom labels for news agency report sources and categories. Previously, Livingdocs displayed the raw imported values (e.g., abbreviated sources or untranslated categories). This update allows you to map those raw values to more descriptive or localized labels.

To support this, two new project configuration properties have been added:

newsAgency: {
  sources: [
    {label: 'DPA', value: 'dpa'},
    {label: 'DPA - OTS', value: 'ots'},
    {label: 'SDA', value: 'sda'}
  ],
  categories: [
    {label: {en: 'Politics', de: 'Politik'}, value: 'politics'},
    {label: {en: 'Economy', de: 'Wirtschaft'}, value: 'economy'},
    {label: {en: 'Sports', de: 'Sport'}, value: 'sports'}
  ]
}

For example, if a news agency report import provides the source ots, editors will now see DPA - OTS. Similarly, categories like politics appear as Politik or Politics, depending on the active language.

In addition, these new properties define the display filter options shown on news agency screens for filtering reports by source or category. They therefore replace the project configuration properties newsAgency.screens[].displayFilterOptionsSource and newsAgency.screens[].displayFilterOptionsCategory (see Breaking Changes).

News Agency Screen Search Results Ordered by Datetime

Search results on news agency screens are now ordered by datetime instead of relevance. This ensures reports appear in the sequence they were received. Previously, results followed the same relevance-based order used on other dashboards, but feedback showed that for news agency reports, chronological order is more valuable.

Showing More Reports on News Agency Screens

News agency screens now show 100 instead of 35 reports per page, allowing users to view more reports at once without needing to click “load more”.

Enabling All News Agency Notifications

The user experience for managing news agency notification categories has been improved with a new “Select all” checkbox. Roles that want to receive all notifications can now enable every notification category with a single click.

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:

• TBD

No known vulnerabilities. 🎉

Livingdocs Editor

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

• TBD

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-2022-25844, CVE-2022-25869, CVE-2023-26116, CVE-2023-26117, CVE-2023-26118, CVE-2024-8372, CVE-2024-8373, CVE-2024-21490, CVE-2025-0716 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.
• CVE-2024-9506 vulnerability in vue, an ReDoS vulnerability exploitable through inefficient regex evaluation in parseHTML function. The issue can cause excessive CPU usage but is not exploitable in the editor as we don’t load untrusted HTML at runtime.
