Major Changes

  • reCAPTCHA v2 support (#814, contributed by @luku)
    • Google is shutting down the original reCAPTCHA API that Omeka has used, so we're transitioning to the newer, supported "v2" API. This also transitions to the newer "I'm not a robot" checkbox interface.
    • Users with old reCAPTCHA keys may need to create new ones. You can create a new key at https://www.google.com/recaptcha/admin
  • TinyMCE 4
    • This update brings a new, more modern interface for HTML editors in Omeka, as well as a supported codebase which should lead to improved compatibility with modern browsers now and going forward.
    • Note: internal code and filenames have changed in this version of TinyMCE, so all plugins using HTML editors must be updated. Updated versions of ExhibitBuilder and SimplePages are bundled with the release, but others must be updated, including Commenting, Contribution, Posters, SimpleContactForm, and UserProfiles.
