Release: 5.0.7.1712

The following is a complete list of the bug fixes and enhancements provided in the November 2020 Release. Some of the bug fixes listed below may address existing Support Articles, of which are noted inline with the associated bug fix and in a comprehensive list at the bottom of this page.

Note: The 5.0.7 release is now available for developers to pull down and work with locally or to request for deployments.

Product BA Sarah Norris covers the highlights of the November 2020 Release for Spire.

The following are the high or medium priority breaking changes that occurred during this release:

Spire Import/Export - The FileUpload mobius component has css changes that could be a breaking change if custom styles were being applied to any FileUpload components. The only FileUpload component in base code is on the Order Upload page. The UploadApprearance styled input was modified to have padding-right: 60px width: 100%. This fixed a bug where the file name of the file being uploaded did not extend across the length of the FileUpload component. Long names were cut off halfway.
Spire Rich Content Widget Style Updates - ContentWrapper style in Rich Content editor was changed (margin-bottom in & > *:first-child was removed and added to & > *:last-child).
Review the release notes below with an asterisk for potential breaking changes or breaking changes specific to Spire.
