Madoc v2.3

Madoc v2.3 introduces a new tabular project workflow, improved search, updated review tools, IIIF export improvements, and a broad dependency upgrade across the platform. The v2.3.1 patch release follows with fixes for tabular projects, non-public site authentication, project configuration saving, localisation, exports, and import feedback.

• 🚀 Tabular projects - A new structured, spreadsheet-like project template with guided setup, cast-a-net grid alignment, split-view contribution, keyboard navigation, copy and paste, dropdown fields, date fields, read-only fields, and reviewer tooling for per-cell flags and notes.
• 🔎 Better search - Typesense-backed site search adds faster instant results, richer metadata facets, autocomplete, better indexing for manifests and canvases, and admin tools for testing the live search index.
• ✅ Improved review tools - Review states now better distinguish draft work, continued contribution, human review, and unresolved flagged submissions, with approval safeguards for flagged tabular cells.
• 📦 IIIF and export updates - Collection, manifest, canvas, CSV, and tabular exports have been improved for compatibility, column order, source canvas IDs, CORS behaviour, empty rows, and flag or note alignment.
• 🔐 Account and access changes - Non-public sites now use isolated account routes for login, registration, password reset, activation, logout, and safe redirect handling.
• 🛠 Platform refresh - Madoc has been updated across React 19, React Router 7, TypeScript, ESLint, Storybook, the new config service, Docker, CI, SSR, request routing, and service-token handling.

Added

• New tabular project type for workflows where contributors transcribe, describe, classify, or review data in table form.
• Guided tabular setup flow for project details, contributor settings, model design, cast-a-net grid alignment, preview, and completion.
• Split-view tabular contribution and review experience, combining canvas reference images with editable table data.
• Full-table mode, keyboard navigation, copy and paste, dropdown fields, date fields, read-only fields, reference-image row tracking, and improved save and draft states for tabular projects.
• Per-cell flagging, reviewer notes, flagged-cell counts, and approval blocking while unresolved flagged cells remain.
• Typesense-backed site search with instant results, metadata facets, autocomplete, and improved manifest and canvas indexing.
• Admin search playground for validating the live search index.
• Queue inspector for monitoring background jobs, search indexing, worker state, and queued work.
• Separate account routes for non-public sites, covering login, registration, forgot password, reset password, account activation, logout, and redirect handling.
• trusted-user site role for reviewer assignment and protected profile visibility workflows.
• Markdown page block image uploads.
• Project-template import from URL, URN, or uploaded JSON, plus duplicate and shareable tabular setup flows.
• Public site root IIIF collection endpoint and madoc:id fields in exported IIIF collections, manifests, and canvases.
• Optional debug timing output for JSON/API responses and source manifest builds when debug mode is requested.
• SVG site theme restored.
• Collection-import task feedback showing imported versus expected manifest counts, with warning states for stopped or incomplete manifest imports.
• New Node-based config-service with scoped configuration APIs, schema validation, version history, Docker support, and tests.

Changed

• Core frontend and tooling dependencies were upgraded across madoc-ts, including React 19, React Router 7, TypeScript, ESLint, Storybook, and related package migrations.
• Search now falls back to the legacy search interface when Typesense is unavailable or disabled.
• Full reindexing now clears older queued search-index tasks before starting a fresh run.
• Project administration, project duplication, setup summaries, configuration help text, and export previews have been improved.
• Review states now better distinguish draft work, continued contribution, human review, and unresolved flagged submissions.
• Project and site configuration merging now preserves nested option groups when configurations are saved, resolved, or migrated.
• Collections now serialize correctly as collections, collection items use the correct routes, and source canvas IDs are preserved where possible.
• Exported manifests include more reliable CORS behaviour and madoc:id fields.
• Public collection browsing now defaults to published-only items, while admins can explicitly request unpublished results.
• CSV and tabular exports better preserve the configured column order, omit empty tabular rows, include tabular system fields in copied templates, and keep flag and note data aligned with exported rows and columns.
• Tabular project setup now applies the setup wizard zoom-tracking value, including when zoom tracking is disabled.
• The HTML editor has been replaced with a newer rich-text editor.
• Mirador pages now load through the hosted Mirador embed instead of the old bundled viewer.
• Deprecated drag-and-drop and select libraries have been replaced with maintained alternatives.
• Internal request routing, SSR, static page rendering, Docker, CI, PM2 configuration, and service-token handling were updated to support the new platform architecture and dependency stack.
• Removed the extra "Create new project using this template" link from project admin pages to make the duplicate project flow clearer.

Fixed

• Fixed site collections and collection APIs exposing unpublished manifests to public users.
• Fixed search cleanup so unpublished manifests and canvases are removed from Typesense results instead of remaining as stale hits.
• Fixed tabular saves that could remove filtered or blank rows.
• Fixed tabular review flags not appearing or persisting correctly.
• Fixed tabular exports, canvas model exports, column order, empty rows, and flag/note alignment.
• Fixed project duplication so duplicated projects preserve source configuration and annotation style.
• Fixed generated PDF options and post-submission random-manifest settings.
• Fixed localisation preference saving when configurator conflicts occur.
• Fixed HTML page block creation after dependency updates.
• Fixed markdown block editing and rendering after the React 19 upgrade.
• Fixed non-public site redirects and account-route redirect targets.
• Fixed review dashboard and tabular review layout, sidebar behaviour, fullscreen table mode, row and column interactions, flag visibility, approval blocking, and historical flag compatibility.
• Fixed tabular project wizard back-button behaviour in development and removed noisy console alerts from that flow.
• Fixed metadata facet editor drag-and-drop behaviour after the dependency migration.
• Fixed autocomplete integration issues, including stale cached entity suggestions and user autocomplete selection/reset behaviour.
• Fixed project page download and file preview behaviour.
• Fixed personal notes rendering and save-state flicker.
• Fixed box and polygon selector behaviour, including drawing and editing stability, marker styling, and region editing flow.
• Fixed atlas and viewer resize handling so canvas position and zoom are preserved more reliably while resizing or editing.
• Fixed logout so it clears all site-scoped JWT cookies and only allows safe relative redirects.
• Fixed API authentication, service-token signing, and expired-token refresh behaviour after the crypto-stack upgrade.
• Fixed cast-a-net alignment issues including initial load failures, drag and resize edge cases, overlap problems, zoom-tracking drift, and post-edit synchronisation.
• Fixed IIIF export and embed access with improved serialization compatibility and private-network-friendly CORS responses.
• Fixed dependency compatibility regressions from the upgrade work, including react-is and lockfile issues.
• Fixed local Docker development setup to mount pnpm-lock.yaml instead of the old yarn.lock.
