New Features
Exclude Assets From Asset Listing Page
Added to: 3.19.0 development
This new feature allows one or more assets to be excluded from the Asset Listing Page, preventing them from being listed even when the usual criteria would see them listed.
Approve/Reject Links Added to Workflow Emails
Added to: 3.19.0 development
The emails sent to users involved in the running workflow of an asset now have direct links to approve or reject the workflow.
Metadata Value Cascading
Added to: 3.19.0 development
This new feature allows default and/or custom values to be cascaded to child assets on a field-by-field, asset-by-asset basis. This can be set by ticking the "Cascade Value" checkbox(es) on the Metadata screen of the asset being edited.
CAPTCHA Field in Asset Builder Page
Added to: 3.19.0 development
This new feature allows you to add a CAPTCHA test to an Asset Builder Page asset. When the "Require CAPTCHA" option is turned ON on the Details screen, a number of CAPTCHA-related keywords will be made available to the Logged In bodycopy. A few options are also provided to control the look of the CAPTCHA, such as the number of characters displayed.
Planned Development

New Bugs Added To Bug Tracker

Notes:
Bug #2854 ("Can't apply URLs to Site in 3.18", reported by greyseal on 17th January) was marked as Can Not Replicate after repeated attempts to reproduce the issue.
Bug #2859 ("Asset listings showing type 2 folders when only type 1 selected", reported by Anthony Barnes on 24th January) was marked as Not a Bug. The reporter was using the Asset Listing Page asset when "Direct Links Only" was turned OFF, which ignores the Link Types setting. This setting makes sense only when "Direct Links Only" is turned ON.
