Framework updates and discussion

• 5.3.6 Updates deploy Mon. October 18. Updates include:
  • npm Update
  • Append dependency query to RequireJS files for cache busting
  • Only scroll tabs on displayTabByHash
  • Dark Mode deployment

Dark mode notes

• Custom CSS - use framework classes for color and background-color as often as possible, or use framework CSS color variables in your own styles - https://wdn.unl.edu/documentation/5.0/css/unl-specific#color-variables
• Dark mode potential "gotchas" - SVG and PNG images - use @dark for background-color utilities (e.g. unl-bg-cream@dark on wrapper)

UNLcms Updates

• Improvements made for form validity in Web Audit - Forms/Views exposed filters should have better scans
• Coming soon: moving www sites to subdomains. Any sites like www.unl.edu/whatever will be moved to whatever.unl.edu
• Much easier to maintain on the technical side of the CMS, redirects will be in place for all pages so no links will break
