The latest Cascade release from Hannon Hill makes a big change to alt text and brings many behind-the-scenes upgrades to improve user experience:
- Uploading images through the asset chooser will no longer pre-fill the file's Display Name with its System Name.
- If you are uploading or selecting an image with no Display Name, the asset chooser will force you to set an Image Description (what we would call "alt text").
- Upgraded image library to the latest version, 2024.08.
- Fixed an issue where spell check was incorrectly flagging empty content.
For a full list of changes, please read the Cascade CMS v8.25.0 release notes.
