Tip
Looking for the latest release notes for Acrolinx for AEM On-premise? You can find them under Acrolinx for AEM On-Premise - Release Notes.
This release introduces improved extraction behavior in AEMaaCS Sites.
Important
This only applies to AEMaaCS Sites. The replacement behavior for AEMaaCS Guides hasn't changed.
Improved checking on Sites pages - To make sure you can check more content on your Sites pages, we've changed our extraction method. Acrolinx now checks all content that's rendered on the screen. It also reads all custom components.
Important
With this change, Acrolinx can't automatically insert suggestions. You’ll need to edit issues directly in your text. Issue highlighting and AI suggestions are still available.
Released 21 August 2024
This release, we've got a small improvement and a couple of bug fixes.
-
Increased default timeout - Acrolinx needs time to generate things like AI suggestions, that's why we've increased the default base HTTP_TIMEOUT from 1 second to 2 seconds.
-
Added timeout error message - You might've seen the error message "Unable to parse JSON." Since this was related to the timeout, we've added an error message that makes this clearer.
Released 24 July 2024
Some bugs popped up since our last release, so we're bringing you a few fixes.
-
Updated service user mapping - User mapping wasn't visible in Acrolinx for a bit. It turns out AEM changed the way it mapped system users, so we needed to make a few adjustments. Mapping is back and aligns with AEM's suggested approach.
-
AI Assistant not opening - The AI Assistant wasn't opening in AEM. It turns out there was an issue with the construction of the URL. This is fixed.
-
"Get Suggestions" not working - You might've gotten an 5xx error when you tried to use Get Suggestions in AEM. We found the issue and fixed it.
-
Missing version info - Version info was missing from our integration. Even though there wasn't an immediate issue, we've added this information to make sure it's accessible.
Released 12 June 2024
This release fixes some bugs and adds support for the most recent versions of AEM Guides.
-
Resource consumption issue - When Acrolinx had connectivity issues, the resulting HTTP requests consumed too many resources and made AEM unusable. We've fixed this. There are now default timeouts for outgoing network requests to Acrolinx.
-
Broken queue configuration - There was an issue with parsing numbers from the queue configuration. This is now fixed.
-
Issue with underscore/lodash library - You may have seen the error
_ is not defined
. We've removed the dependency that was causing this.
Released 10 April 2024
We fixed some issues and took the opportunity to improve the score display in the list view.
-
Dynamic Acrolinx Score - In the list view, the Acrolinx Score wouldn't show up in the column. We've decided to fix this issue and improve the behavior at the same time. With the new dynamic solution, the score will be visible automatically.
Released 30 October 2023
This release has a big new improvement — you can now use Acrolinx Sidebar in AEMaaCS Sites! In addition to that, we've fixed a handful of bugs. Read on for more details.
We recommend that you use:
-
Acrolinx Platform 2022.10 or later
-
Guides versions 2023.10.0 and 2023.09.0
-
AEM Components version 2.23.4
-
A new Content Profile — to take advantage of these improvements, you'll need the latest AEM Content Profile.
-
Sidebar Now Available in Sites - You can now use Acrolinx in AEMaaCS Sites! The best part is that you can use the Acrolinx Sidebar within Sites.
-
Acrolinx Highlights More Content - We’ve made a few improvements under the hood to bring you a better Sidebar experience.
-
Batch Check Score Not Showing - There was a bug where a user ran a Batch Check in Guides, but the score wouldn’t update on the screen. We’ve fixed this bug so that you can now see the Acrolinx Scores for your documents.
-
Acrolinx Icon Distorted - A fix for a bug where the Acrolinx logo appears after the title "Acrolinx" in the tab view.
-
Acrolinx Sidebar Not Loading - We fixed a bug where the Acrolinx Sidebar wouldn't load consistently when users tried using it in AEM Guides. When the Acrolinx Sidebar didn’t load, AEM Guides appears blank.
-
Error With Find and Replace in Guides - We fixed a bug that caused an issue in the Find and Replace feature in AEM Guides. Users would get an application error.
Released 16 February 2023
This release has a new improvement that allows you to extract more information from custom components. It's also packed with fresh bug fixes.
This version of Acrolinx for AEMaaCS works with:
-
Acrolinx Platform 2022.10 or later
We developed and tested this version of Acrolinx for Adobe Experience Manager with:
-
Guides version 2022.5.x - 2022.10.x, 2023.3.x
We've added additional information to the extracted content in AEM. If the component being extracted is visible on the page, an additional attribute visible="true" will be sent along to the platform, otherwise we’ll set visible="false".
Based on this attribute, it would be possible to exclude or mark cards as read only. This avoids the confusion of getting card suggestions for issues that aren’t visible on the page.
We recommend creating and using custom components in via Adobe’s suggested methods.
If you used custom paths to show or hide Acrolinx, you may have gotten a 404 error that prevented all text from being extracted. We've fixed this issue — Acrolinx looks out for custom prefixes before the standard URL.
You might have noticed that Acrolinx resources wouldn't save in the configuration. We've fixed that issue in this release.
Notice
We've changed the Persistent ID. If you used regex to limit access, you'll need to add it again.
To add the regex again, do the following:
-
Go to
system/console/configMgr
. -
Open Acrolinx Allowed Resources.
-
Copy the regex if other than
.*
. Store it somewhere safe (for example, in notes). If you don’t have a customized regex, you can simply update to a new version of Acrolinx Integration. -
Update to the new version of Acrolinx and reopen Acrolinx Allowed Resources.
-
Paste the regex that you saved in Step 3.
When you installed Acrolinx without having AEM Guides installed, the digital asset management (DAM) list view would fail to load. We've removed the dependency on the Guides package so you won’t run into this issue again.
There was an issue where the Acrolinx Sidebar wasn't loading consistently when writers accessed AEM Guides. When the Acrolinx Sidebar didn't load, AEM Guides appeared blank. This was due to Guides loading a very large JS file. We’ve taken care of this issue in this release.
We’re excited to release this new version that supports AEM Guides within AEM as a Cloud Service (AEmaaCS).
Acrolinx for AEM should work with older platform versions. However, we recommend you use:
-
Acrolinx Platform version 2021.03 or later
We developed and tested this version of Acrolinx for Adobe AEM with:
-
AEM On-premise
-
AEM version 6.5
-
AEM Guides version 4.0 and later
-
-
AEMaaCS
-
AEM version 2022.05.x
-
AEM Guides (formerly XML Doc add-on) version 2022.5.x
-
We've dropped support for the following versions of Acrolinx for AEM:
-
1.7.3 and 1.7.4
The wait is over! We now support AEM Guides within AEMaaCS. You can use it with the Acrolinx Sidebar to make sure that your content is consistent across your organization. Learn more about what you can check.
