Fixed​

  • Removed stray double dashes in docs content

[1.24.0] - 2026-06-16​

Added​

  • E-Mail guide: new "Properties-file template + StringSubstitutor" pattern, including loading templates from the JCR, the Properties.load ISO-8859-1/UTF-8 gotcha, and combining a metadata properties file with a separate .html body that carries placeholders
  • E-Mail guide: new "Sending to AEM Users and Groups" section covering Authorizable address resolution, group expansion, and the per-recipient send loop
  • E-Mail guide: config-driven, reusable workflow step parameterized via PROCESS_ARGS, plus a note on triggering e-mails from group-membership changes

[1.23.1] - 2026-06-16​

Fixed​

  • E-Mail guide: corrected the HTL-rendered template example to use the Sling request Builders API instead of the deprecated RequestResponseFactory and non-existent request/response wrappers
  • E-Mail guide: added the missing EmailException import, aligned the template path with the /apps recommendation, repaired the Advanced Networking table, and normalized dashes and spelling

[1.23.0] - 2026-06-16​

Added​

  • E-Mail guide: new step-by-step section on managing HTML e-mail templates with placeholders - where to store templates (ui.apps, ui.content, or bundle resources), the MailTemplate header/placeholder format, deployment, rendering, and local testing

Fixed​

  • Corrected the MailTemplate usage in the e-mail templating examples (the Map-based getEmail signature) and completed the reusable EmailService.sendTemplated implementation

[1.22.0] - 2026-06-16​

Added​

  • New Decoration Tag (cq:htmlTag) page: explains the AEM component decoration wrapper, the _cq_htmlTag node structure, controlling the tag name and CSS classes, overriding classes inherited from a supertype, and per-include decoration overrides

Fixed​

  • Broken changelog links to the Simplified Index Management and Search & Indexing pages now use absolute routes

[1.21.0] - 2026-06-15​

Added​

  • New Simplified Index Management page: covers diff-based custom index definitions, diff.json deltas, and how to let the platform merge and version indexes without copying full OOTB definitions
  • Cross-reference and tip callout in Search & Indexing pointing to Simplified Index Management

Changed​

  • Bumped React to 19.2.7 and @types/react to 19.2.17

[1.20.1] - 2026-06-15​

Fixed​

  • Groovy Console: the activate/deactivate example now matches on the Boolean hideInNav property instead of the string 'true', so it actually selects hidden pages
  • Groovy Console: the CSV export reads jcr:title/cq:template from each page's jcr:content node rather than selecting unsupported relative properties in JCR-SQL2, so the exported columns are no longer empty
  • Groovy Console: the orphaned-component scan now resolves sling:resourceType via the Sling search paths, handling absolute resource types correctly

Changed​

  • Groovy Console: the baseline SQL2 template now saves per batch (matching the "Batch your saves" guidance) to avoid OutOfMemoryError on large datasets
  • Groovy Console: removed unused imports and dead code from examples, corrected the "find pages by template" description, and clarified that the DAM metadata update processes direct children only
  • Groovy Console: bumped the recommended Orbinson dependency to 19.1.0

[1.20.0] - 2026-06-05​

Added​

  • Eight new AI section pages for product and operations topics, with cross-links and glossary entries:
  • New glossary terms: graceful degradation, human-in-the-loop, model routing, prompt caching, structured output, fallback chain, semantic cache

Changed​

  • Expanded the AI category index description and cross-linked the new pages from existing AI topics

[1.19.0] - 2026-06-05​

Added​

[1.18.1] - 2026-06-05​

Changed​

  • Splitter: the expense cascade when removing a person now has a single definition shared by the reducer and the removal confirmation, and the bill-split math is centralized behind one fairShares function (behaviour unchanged)
  • Moved the client redirects out of docusaurus.config.ts into a dedicated redirects.ts module with a build-time guard that fails on a duplicate source path

[1.18.0] - 2026-06-05​

Added​

  • New Build a Local LLM App guide - run a model locally with Ollama or LM Studio and connect a simple app you write yourself, with copy-paste examples for a zero-dependency Node.js CLI, a single-file browser app, and the OpenAI SDK, plus streaming, CORS guidance, and troubleshooting

Changed​

[1.17.0] - 2026-06-05​

Added​

  • Expanded the AI section with six new topic pages, cross-linked into the existing pages and glossary:
    • Embeddings Deep Dive - model landscape, dimensions and Matryoshka, vector quantization, domain adaptation, hybrid retrieval, and production pitfalls
    • Context & Prompt Engineering - the context window as a budget, context rot, and long-horizon techniques (compaction, note-taking, sub-agents, just-in-time)
    • Evaluation & LLMOps - testing non-deterministic systems with datasets/scorers/LLM-as-judge, harness engineering, and operating them in production
    • AI Safety & Guardrails - guardrails and their limits, prompt injection and jailbreaking, red-teaming, and defense in depth
    • Knowledge Management with LLMs - RAG vs just-in-time vs the LLM-wiki pattern vs llms.txt
    • AI-Assisted Software Development - SPDD, architect-as-orchestrator, and AI-friendly architecture patterns
  • Added 19 new AI Glossary terms (context rot, just-in-time context, sub-agents, red-teaming, prompt injection, LLM-as-judge, groundedness, harness engineering, LLM-wiki, llms.txt, SPDD, vector quantization, and more), cross-linked to the topic pages

[1.16.0] - 2026-06-05​

Added​

  • New AI section introducing the core topics, with an inter-linked glossary:
    • Large Language Models - how an LLM produces text, the three training stages, strengths and limits, hallucination, and the model landscape
    • AI Agents - tool use/function calling, the multi-agent patterns, and the MCP and A2A connectivity protocols
    • RAG - retrieval-augmented generation with embeddings and vector databases, RAG vs fine-tuning, and production levers
    • Tooling and Frameworks - orchestration frameworks, vector DBs, evaluation/observability, and LLMOps
    • Cloud vs Local Models - enterprise platforms (Bedrock, SageMaker, Azure Foundry, Vertex AI) vs local open-weights models (Ollama, LM Studio, llama.cpp, vLLM)
    • AI Glossary - plain-English definitions of the core AI terms, cross-linked to the topic pages

Changed​

  • Surfaced the AI section across the site: a navbar entry (green accent), a footer link, a homepage section, and first placement in the sidebar after the intro

[1.15.1] - 2026-06-05​

Changed​

  • Splitter app: refactored internals for testability with no change to behaviour - state transitions, the settlement summary, URL persistence, and person-name lookup each now live behind a single dedicated module
  • Moved the sidebar ordering algorithm next to its order constants in sidebar-order.ts so the Docusaurus config just calls one entry point

[1.15.0] - 2026-06-05​

Added​

  • AEM: new AEMaaCS vs AEM 6.5 reference page comparing deployment, repository mutability, replication vs content distribution, asset processing, indexing, Dispatcher, and security
  • AEM: new Glossary of core AEM, Sling, OSGi, and Oak terms, cross-linked to the deep-dive pages
  • AEM: new Recipes - task-oriented how-to checklists (build a component, deliver headless content, make a query fast, publish, secure, debug, translate)

Fixed​

  • Corrected ~60 broken Adobe Experience League documentation links across the AEM docs (Experience League taxonomy changes and dropped .html suffixes); all external Adobe links now resolve
  • Corrected technical errors in code examples: Groovy Authorizable.getID(), JCR Property iteration in the broken-link finder, the orphaned-asset reference search, the Content Fragment cq:model Oak (Lucene) index, and a dialog checkbox value type

Changed​

  • Tuned Vale prose linting with an AEM vocabulary so technical terms (OSGi, repoinit, ACLs, clientlib, etc.) are no longer flagged as misspellings; synced Vale style packages are now git-ignored

[1.14.0] - 2026-06-05​

Added​

  • AEM beginners guide: new Servlets & Request Handling chapter - resource-type vs path-bound servlets, SlingSafeMethodsServlet vs SlingAllMethodsServlet, validated POST handling, JSON endpoints, and when to prefer a Sling Model Exporter
  • AEM beginners guide: new Search & Indexing chapter, plus a Search & Indexing reference page - QueryBuilder vs JCR-SQL2, why unindexed traversals are dangerous, Oak property and Lucene index definitions, AEMaaCS/6.5 deployment, reindexing, and the Explain Query tool
  • Component Dialogs: a dialog cookbook (teaser dialog, composite card-list multifield, link-type switch) and a full datasource servlet example for dynamic selects
  • Groovy Console: a maintenance recipes library - broken internal-link finder, orphaned-asset finder, permission report, version purge, and replication-queue report
  • Content Fragments: an end-to-end headless walkthrough (persisted GraphQL query to frontend fetch with CORS/referrer/caching notes) and a "models as code" section for versioning /conf models

Changed​

  • Renumbered the AEM beginners guide to 22 chapters to slot in the new Servlets (08) and Search & Indexing (14) chapters; page URLs are unchanged because chapter slugs are explicit

[1.13.3] - 2026-06-05​

Fixed​

  • Docker: install curl in the runtime image so the Coolify container healthcheck passes (Alpine ships no curl, and busybox wget could not reach the IPv4-bound static server)

[1.13.2] - 2026-06-05​

Fixed​

  • Corrected beginners-guide category index page slugs to use descriptive names instead of generic identifiers

Changed​

  • Expanded AEM beginners guide and reference content
  • Switched static site serving from Caddy to Node + serve
  • Updated pnpm lockfile

[1.13.1] - 2026-06-04​

Changed​

  • AEM Omnisearch Selection Bar Actions: added callout documenting the source of the DM/Scene7 feature flag identifiers and links to the Granite UI feature rendercondition API reference (AEM 6.5 + Cloud Service)

[1.13.0] - 2026-06-03​

Added​

  • AEM guide: Omnisearch Selection Bar Actions - explains why Granite UI render conditions cannot be used for per-asset checks in the omnisearch selection bar, and how to implement a two-layer solution (DM feature flag render condition + custom JSON check servlet + client-side foundation-selections-change activator)

Changed​

  • Updated @types/react to 19.2.15
  • Added pullfrog.yml workflow

Fixed​

  • shell-setup: restrict cd alias to interactive shells only

[1.12.1] - 2026-05-18​

Fixed​

  • Splitter: expense description is now optional - the form submits without one
  • Splitter: tab focus is now trapped within the expense form so rapid keyboard entry (description → amount → paid by → Add → repeat) no longer escapes to the footer
  • Splitter: adding an expense with an empty description no longer silently no-ops (the reducer guard was still requiring a non-empty description)
  • Splitter: people chips are now rendered inline with the name input in a tag-input style instead of awkwardly below it

Changed​

  • Splitter: removed multi-currency support; EUR is the only currency (simplifies the UI)
  • Splitter: all formatting and sorting now uses the Intl API - Intl.NumberFormat (cached), Intl.Collator for deterministic ID sorting, Intl.PluralRules for "expense/expenses" copy

[1.12.0] - 2026-05-18​

Added​

  • New /apps/ section with a self-contained Splitter app (/apps/splitter/) - add people, log shared expenses, and get the minimum settlement transactions. All state is encoded in the URL hash so sessions are shareable by copying the link. Landing page at /apps/ lists all available apps.

[1.11.3] - 2026-05-17​

Fixed​

  • dialog-validation.mdx: Corrected 14 CSS attribute selectors from exact = to word ~= match - exact match silently fails when a field carries multiple space-separated validators
  • component-dialogs.mdx: Fixed rootPath attribute casing on Coral 3 pathfield examples (rootpath → rootPath)
  • externalized-value-map-value.mdx: Fixed annotation default value (StringUtils.EMPTY → ""); rewrote injector getValue() to use standard Java type-checking and proper adaptable resolution instead of undefined ReflectionUtil/InjectorUtil helpers that would cause compile errors
  • core-components.mdx: Corrected Core Components install path (/libs/wcm/core → /apps/core/wcm/components/); updated example version from 2.15.2 (2021) to 2.27.0; added tip linking to the GitHub releases page

[1.11.2] - 2026-05-17​

Fixed​

  • Corrected docker_run.sh command in the Dispatcher deployment guide - removed spurious extra path arguments; correct form is ./bin/docker_run.sh dispatcher/src host.docker.internal:4503 8080
  • Fixed inconsistent src path in Dispatcher SDK validation commands table (src → dispatcher/src)
  • Updated 31 Adobe Experience League URLs from the deprecated /docs/ path to the canonical /en/docs/ format across 14 AEM guide files

Changed​

  • Added 114 official documentation links (Apache Sling, OSGi specification, Apache Felix, Jackrabbit Oak, Adobe Experience League, aem.live, wcm.io, web.dev, OWASP) to 21 previously link-free files across the AEM guide - including backend, beginners-guide, content, components, edge-delivery, infrastructure, and UI sections

[1.11.1] - 2026-05-03​

Fixed​

  • Removed redundant "Edge Delivery Services - " prefix from all 14 chapter page titles in the new docs/aem/edge-delivery/ section

[1.11.0] - 2026-05-03​

Added​

  • New AEM Edge Delivery Services section under docs/aem/edge-delivery/ - 14 chapters replacing the previous single-page treatment: Overview, Architecture, Authoring models, Blocks (the component model), Customizing, Universal Editor, Development workflow, Sidekick & Sidekick Library, Admin API (helix5), Experimentation, Performance, Forms, Commerce Storefront, and Best practices
  • Blocks deep-dive - decoration lifecycle (eager / lazy / delayed phases driven by aem.js), reading rows and cells from the table-derived DOM, the readBlockConfig helper, block variations, key-value options, auto-blocks, accessing section / page metadata, common patterns and anti-patterns
  • Customizing chapter - scripts/scripts.js orchestration, aem.js decoration override hooks (decorateMain, decorateButtons, decorateIcons, decorateSections, decorateBlocks, buildAutoBlocks), delayed.js patterns, head.html resource hints, theme tokens in styles/styles.css, font self-hosting, paths.yaml rewrites, helix-config.yaml response headers (CSP, HSTS, Permissions-Policy), bring-your-own-CDN setup, and the /plugins/ directory
  • Admin API (helix5) reference - full admin.hlx.page documentation with API-key auth, endpoint catalogue (/status, /preview, /live, /code, /index, /cache, /log, /profile, /sitemap, /snapshot, /job, /config), webhooks, common workflows (sitemap-driven bulk republish, scheduled GitHub Actions cron, source-vs-live drift audit, surrogate-key purges), error and rate-limit guidance, and a security checklist
  • Universal Editor chapter - the three JSON config files (component-definition.json, component-models.json, component-filters.json), data-aue-* instrumentation attributes, and the decoration pattern that preserves them by re-parenting nodes instead of cloning
  • Sidekick chapter - core extension actions plus the Sidekick Library (block library and tag library plugins), tools/sidekick/config.json plugin manifest, and a worked example of building a custom Sidekick plugin
  • EDS for Forms chapter - document-based and AEM Forms authoring paths, the form block and its helper modules, submission targets (AEM Forms, REST, SharePoint, email, webhooks), client-side validation with ARIA wiring, spam mitigation, accessibility invariants, and patterns for multi-step forms, asset uploads, and draft persistence
  • EDS Commerce Storefront chapter - render-time vs run-time data flows, the storefront block library (PLP, PDP, cart, checkout, account, search, recommendations), Adobe Commerce GraphQL integration, surrogate-key caching strategy, customer auth, SEO, performance pitfalls, and adapter strategies for commercetools / Shopify / custom backends
  • Experimentation chapter - experiments and audiences sheets, edge-side resolution (no client-side flicker), multivariate setup, sticky cookie assignment, analytics wiring in delayed.js, and concluding-an-experiment patterns

Changed​

  • Sidebar - edge-delivery inserted between architecture and the legacy AEM topic groups in sidebar-order.ts; new aem/edge-delivery ordering key arranges chapters in reading order (overview → architecture → authoring → blocks → customizing → universal-editor → development → sidekick → admin-api → experimentation → performance → forms → commerce → best-practices)
  • Five sibling docs repointed from the old helix.mdx location to ../edge-delivery/overview.mdx: SPA Editor, GraphQL, AIO App Builder, Dispatcher Configuration, AEM as a Cloud Service
  • Overview page preserves the /aem/edge-delivery-services/ slug so the existing /aem/helix/ redirect (and any external bookmarks) keep resolving

Removed​

  • docs/aem/infrastructure/helix.mdx - fully migrated into the new docs/aem/edge-delivery/ section

[1.10.0] - 2026-05-02​

Added​

  • New "Building for the Web" sidebar category - groups Content Modeling, Semantic HTML, Web Performance, Build a Simple Blog Page, and the Web Content section under one parent, replacing five separate top-level entries
  • Web Content section split into eight focused chapters (Overview, Readability & Typography, Structure & Hierarchy, Forms & Interactions, Microcopy & Error States, Color & Contrast, Images & Media, Information Architecture) instead of a single 746-line monolith
  • New "Microcopy and Error States" chapter - buttons and primary actions, helper text and field hints, validation errors with inline aria-describedby patterns, empty states (including filtered variants), loading states with skeletons and progress bars, success confirmations, destructive confirmation dialogs, 404 and 5xx error pages, voice consistency, and a quick-reference table
  • New "Information Architecture" chapter - primary / utility / footer navigation patterns, aria-current="page" active state, breadcrumbs, taxonomies and label-drift, faceted filtering, search UX (typo recovery, recent and suggested queries), URL slug design rules, localised URLs, hub pages versus alphabetical dumps, and an IA audit checklist
  • Web Content guide expanded across the existing sections with extensive Do / Don't code examples covering language and tone, microcopy, typography and measure (CSS), heading hierarchy, lists versus paragraphs, primary CTAs, progressive disclosure, link text, form labels and inline errors, mobile-first DOM order, color tokens, dark-mode token redefinition, link underlines, alt text, and video captions (#52)
  • Cursor Cloud specific instructions in AGENTS.md (#50)
  • Initial Web Content section for readability, UX, focus, and visual design (#49)

Changed​

  • 22 client-side redirects added in docusaurus.config.ts to catch URLs constructed from the new file paths (e.g. /building-for-the-web/content-modeling/ → /content-modeling/) and likely shortened guesses (e.g. /web-content/microcopy/ → /web-content/microcopy-and-error-states/); all original canonical URLs remain stable via explicit slug: frontmatter
  • Removed the standalone GitHub link from the site

[1.9.2] - 2026-04-22​

Fixed​

  • Component Dialogs - restored three in-page anchor links (#empty-dialog--starting-point, #layout--read-only, #msm--live-copy-considerations) whose double-dash segments were inadvertently collapsed by the v1.9.1 typography sweep, breaking the Docusaurus build

[1.9.1] - 2026-04-22​

Changed​

  • Docs-wide typography cleanup - replaced the -- em-dash substitute with a single - across 217 docs files, while preserving frontmatter delimiters, fenced code blocks (including mermaid arrows and CLI flags), inline code spans, table separators, and HTML comment delimiters

[1.9.0] - 2026-04-21​

Added​

  • Build a Simple Blog Page - new "Before you start - what the pieces are" section orienting absolute beginners (what a website actually is, what HTML / CSS / JS each do, per-OS instructions for creating a folder and blank files in Finder / File Explorer / Linux file managers, why a word processor will not work, and what the file:// URL prefix means), plus a new Step 6 - Get this live on the internet with two full deployment walkthroughs: Option A AWS S3 static hosting (free-tier account, bucket creation with public-access block unchecked, file upload, static-website-hosting toggle, public-read bucket-policy JSON snippet, bucket-website endpoint) with caveats on HTTPS via CloudFront / billing / Netlify-Pages alternatives; Option B VPS + nginx (ssh in, apt install nginx, scp the files up, move to /var/www/blog, minimal server {} block at /etc/nginx/sites-available/blog, symlink into sites-enabled, nginx -t and systemctl reload nginx) linking to the deeper VPS + nginx chapter for hardening and HTTPS; closes with an "S3 vs VPS vs Netlify" decision table

Changed​

  • Build a Simple Blog Page - plain-English glosses added on first use for semantic HTML, the DOM, CSS custom properties, localStorage, media query, and <script type="module">; VS Code recommendation now explains why (syntax highlighting, not a word processor); Summary gained a deployment bullet

[1.8.0] - 2026-04-20​

Added​

  • Build a Simple Blog Page - new Step 4 "Responsive header and footer" covering a mobile nav toggle with aria-expanded / aria-controls + .visually-hidden utility, a @media (max-width: 40rem) query, the adjacent-sibling combinator pattern ([aria-expanded="true"] + nav) for CSS-driven disclosure, and a multi-column footer that stacks via the same repeat(auto-fit, minmax()) trick - plus a decision table contrasting auto-fit / minmax() against @media queries

Changed​

  • Build a Simple Blog Page - cross-reference links threaded through every step: Step 2 links to the CSS beginners' chapters on box model / colors & typography / Flexbox, plus CSS Grid / Responsive Design / CSS Custom Properties for the "two things worth understanding" notes; Step 3 links to DOM and Events chapters; the relative-dates row links to the Intl API Formatting guide; Step 5 (fetch) links to Working with Data and the Async/Await guide; Vite section links to the VPS deploy chapter; Next steps expanded with targeted chapter links plus Web Performance. Summary and "What you will build" updated to mention the responsive header and multi-column footer; previous "Step 4 - load posts from a JSON file" renumbered to Step 5 (optional)

[1.7.0] - 2026-04-20​

Added​

  • Build a Simple Blog Page guide - a standalone, super-beginner start-to-finish tutorial for building a working blog page with only HTML, CSS, and vanilla JavaScript (semantic markup, CSS Grid layout with auto-fit/minmax, CSS custom properties driving a data-theme dark-mode toggle, Intl.RelativeTimeFormat for human-readable dates, localStorage persistence, click-to-filter tags), plus an optional Step 4 that moves posts into posts.json via fetch with a type="module" / top-level-await variant, and a bonus section on when and how to adopt Vite (dev server, HMR, production build, "when is Vite worth it?" decision table) - sits at /build-a-blog, linked from the sidebar after Semantic HTML and from the home page under More Topics

[1.6.0] - 2026-04-20​

Added​

  • Changelog page at /changelog, rendered directly from the root CHANGELOG.md so the release history is browsable on the site

Changed​

  • Footer restructured from four thin columns (Content / Legal / Socials / Tech) into four balanced columns: Docs (AEM, Strapi, JavaScript, Java, Design Patterns), Guides (Docker, Linux, Git, Testing), More (Projects, Other, Changelog, Imprint), and Connect (LinkedIn, Xing, GitHub, Gitlab) - surfaces top content hubs, mirrors the navbar, and merges profile + repo links
  • Copyright line hyphen upgraded to an em-dash

[1.5.0] - 2026-04-20​

Added​

  • AEM Dispatcher Configuration guide - AEMaaCS vs AEM 6.5 comparison, two-layer Virtual Host Matching (Apache vhost + Dispatcher virtualhosts.any with farm ordering and localhost pitfall), Cache Warming (sitemap-driven, post-deploy, targeted), Debugging Toolkit (DISP_LOG_LEVEL levels, "why didn't this cache?" 7-step decision tree, inspection commands), Security Headers placement (CDN / Apache / Sling filter decision table), Health Check Endpoints (Dispatcher-only vs end-to-end, Kubernetes liveness/readiness split)
  • AEM Testing guide - expanded from stub into a full reference: test pyramid, tooling choices table, AEM Mocks vs Sling Mocks distinction, AemContext API reference, ResourceResolverType matrix (RESOURCERESOLVER_MOCK / JCR_MOCK / JCR_OAK / JCR_JACKRABBIT trade-offs), content loading patterns (JSON, Filevault XML, binary), eight concrete test patterns (Sling Model, request-adaptable model, OSGi service, service-user resolver, servlet, JCR-SQL2 query, Context-Aware Config, WireMock external HTTP), UI.tests module with WebdriverIO, Dispatcher validation CI gate, JaCoCo setup, smoke checklist, and common pitfalls

Changed​

  • /llms.txt - added the five new beginner guides (TypeScript, Docker, Git, Testing, Linux), added links to Dialog Validation, JCR Queries and API, Context-Aware Configuration, Testing, and Security basics, fixed the broken /aem/infrastructure/dispatcher/ URL to point at /aem/infrastructure/dispatcher-configuration/, removed the stale /git/ entry now that the Git beginners guide is in the top section

[1.4.0] - 2026-04-20​

Added​

  • AEM Dialog Validation guide - validate() trigger table with .checkValidity() imperative example, "Two ways to declare a validator" subsection (validation attribute vs granite:data/foundation-validation child node), per-item multifield validation with partner-field revalidation, async/server-side validation with debounced fetch and cached results, expanded built-in validators split into field-level attributes and registered foundation.* validators, "Styling the invalid state" CSS section, and a 5-step debugging checklist
  • AEM Touch UI Component Dialogs - Adobe's native cq-dialog-dropdown-showhide / cq-dialog-checkbox-showhide pattern, FieldSet grouping widget with persistence explanation (Well vs FieldSet vs Multifield comparison), full cq:editConfig reference (drop targets, inline editors, refresh listeners, disabling default toolbar actions), link-tuple pattern (label + URL + target) with a security-aware rel Sling Model

Changed​

  • AEM Dialog Validation guide - template validator now null-safe (var value = (raw == null ? "" : String(raw)).trim()), selectors updated to ~= space-separated-word match so fields with multiple validators still trigger
  • AEM Touch UI Component Dialogs - cq-msm-lockable section expanded from a passing mention to a full explanation (mechanics, pitfalls, composite-multifield example), Tags field extended with rootPath scoping and a TagManager-based Sling Model reader
  • AEM Touch UI Component Dialogs - Validation section trimmed to a declarative quick-reference that links to the dedicated Dialog Validation page, removing duplicated content

[1.3.2] - 2026-04-20​

Fixed​

  • AEM JCR guide - SQL2 example no longer teaches query injection via user-controlled locale concatenation; now shows an allowlist pattern for caller-supplied values
  • AEM JCR guide - Session API example rewritten to use getServiceResourceResolver with a sub-service; removed hardcoded admin:admin credentials, fixed wrong port (4503 → 4502 for author), dropped unused TransientRepository import, moved credentials warning out of the code fence into a :::danger admonition
  • AEM JCR guide - Groovy queries migrated from the deprecated 'sql' language to 'JCR-SQL2'; xpath cleanup example rewritten as JCR-SQL2; added dev-only console warning
  • AEM JCR guide - fixed stray footnote marker (>) and an orphan comment line that rendered outside its code fence; dropped obsolete jackrabbit-standalone-2.4.0.jar version reference
  • AEM Context-Aware Configuration guide - HTL <script> interpolation now uses explicit @ context="scriptString" to defend against XSS if HTL's auto-context misfires; HeaderModel null-checks the config returned from .as(...)
  • AEM Security basics - service-user mapping section now distinguishes AEMaaCS (repoinit + ui.config) from 6.5 (OSGi Console / Users admin UI) delivery

Changed​

  • AEM Architecture - moved WCMUsePojo out of the Sling Models comparison table into a dedicated "legacy" aside to avoid implying it is still a current choice
  • AEM curl examples across Architecture, Groovy Console, Content Fragments, GraphQL, and Servlets guides now carry a consistent "Local SDK / dev only" note above every admin:admin block

[1.3.1] - 2026-04-20​
