On Wednesday, July 1st, 2026, we will be rolling out easyWeb standard version 13.1.0. This release introduces new features and expands existing functionalities. The new version is now available for testing on our staging environments.

During the deployment, there will be a brief interruption during which the backend will be locked to prevent data loss caused by simultaneous changes to the database. You can tell whether your site has already been updated by checking the version number in the top left of the backend, as well as the new, higher-performance backend user interface. 

If you have any questions or encounter any issues, please feel free to contact us.

Changelog:

Features:

• Map (OpenStreetMap): The map element now supports up to five location markers, each with a title and description. Clicking on a marker displays a popup with the stored information. Existing maps with a single location will be migrated automatically.
• OpenStreetMap Map: Addresses can now be entered for map points. A new button automatically determines the coordinates based on the address, which can still be adjusted manually before saving if needed. The address is also displayed in the map point's info window between the title and description.
• Brand Panel: Support for up to four partner logos with a responsive layout and optional display on mobile devices. Logos can additionally be displayed as a slider with various options.
• Table Rows: Table rows can now be highlighted in the editor using a background color (Mint, Light Mint, Anthracite, Grey, Light Grey).
• Image Uploads: Previously, images wider or higher than 3840 pixels were rejected with an error message during upload. Now, significantly larger images can be uploaded: they are automatically resized in the background after upload and converted into the space-saving WebP format, while smaller images remain available for immediate use. Only exceptionally large images will still be rejected with a clear notification; a new "Image Queue" overview in the backend displays the current processing status.

Backend:

• User Management: In the "Backend Users" module, the drop-down lists for filters (Type, Status, Login Status) were previously displayed without labels; the filter options are now correctly displayed with their respective names again.
• Site Configurator: The Site Configurator module now displays the configured secondary logos, grouped by language, making the current configuration visible at a glance. Authorized users can edit the logo directly from within the module.
• Image Fields in Content Elements: The unused "Description" field for image references in the content elements ContactBox, Slider, FeaturedImage, and TeaserBox has been removed from the backend. Since it was never output on the frontend, it caused unnecessary confusion for editors. Additionally, images in FeaturedImage and Slider elements now correctly retrieve the alt and title attributes from the file reference metadata again. Previously, these were output as empty in certain configurations (e.g., when a Typolink was set), which negatively impacted accessibility.
• Configuration Storage: The settings of the Site Configurator are now stored in the site configuration file instead of the database. This modernization step ensures compatibility with future TYPO3 versions. Existing values will be migrated automatically.

Frontend:

• Past Events: The iCal icon for calendar export is no longer displayed for past events – neither in the archive lists nor on the detail page of an event that has already taken place.
• Text & Media: Images in the "Text & Media" content element can now also be zoomed as SVG graphics in the lightbox; the zoom icon in the image caption now functions correctly for SVG images as well.
• Main Navigation: The main navigation has been redesigned to make it more reliable and accessible for all visitors. The hover menu now also opens for the currently active main item and remains visibly highlighted as long as the mouse is moved over the entry or the open submenu. The navigation can now be operated entirely via keyboard and is correctly announced by screen readers as Main Navigation, Mobile Navigation, and Breadcrumb Navigation.
• Panopto Videos: Panopto videos now respect cookie consent settings: just like with YouTube and Vimeo, a consent notice appears directly on top of the video before loading, and the content is only loaded after approval.
• News Lists: A rendering bug in a specific edge case has been resolved.

General:

• Security and maintenance updates have been applied.
• Cleanup: The obsolete site logo fields and the associated logo collection have been removed, as all sites have already been migrated to the new secondary logo field; partner logos are now maintained exclusively via the File Management.
• Internal Cleanup: Preparation for upcoming TYPO3 core updates by removing legacy modifications to Fluid templating. This change has no visible impact on editors or website visitors.
