ANN: Yozons eSignForms 21.2.6 release

[Yozons eSignForms]

Version 21.2.6 - 6 February 2021

• Added additional support for greater accessibility for document worklows. This includes:
  • Use BUTTON instead of INPUT type="submit" elements.
  • Removed the low contrast light-gray color for the page and document status/locator at the top and bottom of documents (removed 'color: lightgray;' from the standard CSS selector .esf div.documentAndPageNumbersInfo).
  • Removed the low contrast gray CSS class from the Package footer defined in the button message set ESF_DefaultButtonMessage (for new installations only so as not to change the behavior of installed systems).
  • Added role="navigation" to the buttons at the bottom which controls all navigation for a document workflow.
  • Added role="main" to DIV class="pagediv" element after the BODY element as that's the document content.
  • Added role="alert" aria-live="assertive" to the errors and messages box that appears at the top of document pages.
  • Added lang attribute the HTML element for HTML5 documents as retrieved from the application's default locale.
  • Added required and aria-required="true" attributes to INPUT elements created for fields defined as 'required' or 'optional style required'.
  • Added the aria-invalid="true" attribute to INPUT elements that have validation errors.
  • Converted the error/info message box for HTML5 documents from TABLE layouts to DIVs as it's not truly tabular data.
  • Document styles now allow required and invalid fields to display extra HTML, typically a single character, after their label name when in Page Edit mode. For existing deployments, these are left blank to behave as before, and can be updated as needed. However, new deployments will default to '✱' for required fields and '❗' for fields in error. Others may prefer alternative symbols like: '❓' or '⚠' or '⁉' or even simply '*' or '!' or even strings like '(required)' or '(error)' (strings are treated as pre-formatted HTML).
  • Added a new 'alt/title' field to Image objects defined in libraries so it can be used for both 'alt' and 'title' attributes on those images.
• If a given message shown in the error/info message box displayed at the top of documents is associated with one or more document fields, that message can now be clicked to put the first such associated field into focus (and scroll to it, if necessary).
• The list of error/info messages now allows a maximum of 10 lines of errors shown in a scrolling area, if necessary.
• Upgraded to libphonenumber 8.12.17.
• Upgraded to CKEditor 4.16.0.
• Upgraded to Vaadin 8.12.2.
• Updated WEB-INF/webdown.xml to also report system down for all WebServlet URL target annotations.
• OPERATIONS VERSION UPGRADE NOTICE:
