In this release of the Rayos platform, we are improving many aspects of the Rayos to Rayos syndication process. Additionally, we are improving the Rayos Alert process (allowing Alerts to be resent if desired), and switching ingested content to show "large" images by default. There are several other improvements and bug fixes as well.
NEW FEATURES
Photo galleries in Rayos will now show a more appropriate design when syndicated. (RAYOS-905)
Embedded CNN videos will now be supported in the Rayos syndication process. (RAYOS-995)
IMPROVEMENTS
In some edge cases, photo gallery ads were not centered correctly. This has been fixed. (RAYOS-1052)
We have added article meta data to the 451 error page, so that Facebook (and other) bots can still build a story preview even if it is blocked by GDPR rules. (RAYOS-1050)
Ingested content will now display images by default in a "large" size instead of "medium." (RAYOS-1023)
The "hover" options on images in the User-Generated Content screen will now be hidden. (RAYOS-944)
Featured image options, such as where a featured image is displayed, or if it is to be included at all, will now be retained from the source site during Rayos to Rayos syndication. (RAYOS-604)
It is now possible to resend Alerts from the Article panel after they have been sent. Once an alert has been triggered, the "Quick Send" box will now display "Click here to edit and resend alert." This will open the Alert in a new browser tab for editing after which it can be resent. (RAYOS-416)
BUG FIXES
Some SVG icons in the Rayos admin menu bar will now have more appropriate colors. (However, some third-party plugins are not affected.) (RAYOS-1069)
Fixed an issue where custom Elections XML files were not loading correctly. (RAYOS-1068)
Currently, if Amazon A9 ad integration is activated, only the first ad sizing block (defined in the 'Ad Details' section within each individual ad's settings) will be provided for ad generation. This has been fixed. (RAYOS-1047)
Ingested articles will now appropriately show their given content wrapper. (RAYOS-1018)
The "Add Media" modal for third-party embeds was not being displayed. This has been fixed. (RAYOS-1010)
Radio buttons within channels in the Syndication Center now appropriately affect their search results. (RAYOS-1005)
Fixed an issue related to the AP reset trigger for Elections. (RAYOS-451)
