This is a pretty massive update in perspection of quality of the system. Since Version 7 released in June, there have been 291 issues closed that are in this release!
Major improvements in UX associated with Merlin. Merlin is starting to consolidate the UX of working with files and types and getting content streamlined in integration with HAX.
This release also starts unlocking several new types of sites that we've expressed as possible for years but have not visualized via design.
It adds a new concept in theming called "Regions" which are very easy to implement going forward.

This version has several hundred improvements as a result of the NARA UX audit and actionable items. As of this release 12 of their 17 points have been addressed, the majority of those not handled currently being Drupal specific things. This has lots of bug fixes from this repo but also our new consolidated https://github.com/elmsln/issues/issues issue queue.

LitElement is predominant in this release. This release has undergone a first round of user audit with a group of 30 providing feedback on HAXcms and HAX directly. This has drag and drop, click to build grids in the page, lots of stability and performance improvements to HAXcms itself, accurate JWT invalidation and securing with timing tokens, a CLI, improved support for HAXiam, a complete rewrite of the API to be a unified backend, Swagger documented, better DX for theme developers, local developer experience via yarn for those working on HAXcms core, and a backend restructuring to support multiple backends in the future as well as initial work on an Express based backend.
All in all, this is a massive release with lots of sticky issues resolved that were blocking a full stable release. And so, with those removed, we have arrived at 1.0.0.

small setup issue if installing via the install.php method #433
Published by btopro about 5 years ago
Bug fixes:
Enhancements to site settings:
A more complete list of self refreshing files are managed by the system now when hitting save in the setting panel. This means that sites are automatically "upgraded" via managed vias, their template rewritten, every time that a major save operation is committed against the site.json via a full settings save (dashboard opening and changing).
Pushing to a release so that anyone getting the platform can enjoy this benefit as it eases the pain of upgrading files as HAX will manage that process to increase UX of older sites to match new ones.

This release provides dramatically better user experience and is the culmination of months of bug fixing across the many systems that HAX is deployed. Most notably is the user experience unification between sites, dashboard, HAX styles meshing with HAXcms, HAX and HAX capable element data binding and accessibility fixes, a full headless Form API on the backend with front-end tag to render and validate, and better data integrity and experience in using the site outline tool.

This release is to hit a common release point with ELMS:LN. As they both implement HAX and HAXcms
actually sits inside of ELMSLN for future integrations. This provides lots of performance, accessibility
and cross browser support.

This pulls in a lot of enhancements to HAX in form presentation, accessibility, and design. It also contains bug fixes from production usage. Special thanks to @lauragibbs for providing highly detailed UX issues in the content creation process.
