A fix to an edge case related to merging files from a release to a branch.

Heretto CCMS 25.04.29

• Fixed. We addressed an edge case where the Cannot get number of files to process warning appeared and blocked the branching process when merging files from a release to a branch.

A new portal feature that enables publishing PDFs to portal and backend Deploy API upgrades.

Heretto Portal 25.04.23

• Added. We added PDF format handling to Heretto Portal. Now, PDFs referenced in maps and topics render in portal as links that open PDFs in a new tab. For more information, see Heretto Portal PDF Handling.

Heretto Deploy API 25.04.23

• Backend upgrades for manual deployments of the next generation of Heretto Deploy API (v4).

A fix to the Deployments interface, Deploy API-related enhancements, and improvements to the next generation localization system.

Heretto CCMS 25.04.22

• Fixed. We resolved an issue where while a deployment was being processed with no issues, the Deployments interface would appear to time out and show a connection error.

• Changes in the CCMS for future enhancements of Heretto Deploy API.

• Improvements to the backend of the next generation localization system.

Support of new DITA-OT versions, a DITA-OT fix, changes for future enhancements in Deploy API, and an upgrade of a core cloud publishing technology.

Heretto Deploy API 25.04.18

• Changes for future enhancements of Heretto Deploy API.

Cloud Publishing 25.04.18

Cloud publishing is an umbrella term for all publishing engines that come with Heretto CCMS, including PDF Generator and DITA-OT Cloud. The cloud publishing infrastructure is separate from Heretto CCMS infrastructure. New versions of cloud publishing are released separately from CCMS versions and are deployed to customers immediately after they are released.

Heretto Portal and Heretto Deploy API publishing are separate products and are not part of cloud publishing.

• Fixed. We resolved a DITA-OT issue that prevented some publishing jobs that used the Compare to option from completing, causing them to time out or get canceled by the user. Now, such publishing jobs complete successfully.

  To learn more about comparing different document versions with DITA-OT, see Compare Versions of the Same Publications with DITA-OT.

• Upgrade of an underlying core technology platform for improved performance and security.

A new, advanced XSL feature for PDF Generator, minor UI improvements, and backend enhancements.

Heretto CCMS 25.04.15

• Enhanced. PDF Generator developers can now reference DITA files that are cross-referenced as scope="local". For more information, see Access XML Details of a Referenced Topic.

• Minor UI updates in the Deployments interface to the Heretto Portal automatic redirects feature.

• Backend enhancements to the next generation Localization system.

Etto, the Heretto Copilot, is now much faster!

• Enhanced. We released an update to our AI feature, Etto, the Heretto Copilot, that significantly improves its performance. Responses that previously took about ten seconds now complete in just a couple seconds. Our extensive testing showed no degradation, and no adjustments to the predefined prompts were needed. As with any AI-driven feature, results may vary with updates, so we recommend reviewing responses for quality and accuracy after the release.

  Note:

  This change has been introduced independently of any product release.

A new option for automatic redirects in the CCMS and a fix for reuploading DITA-OT toolkits.

Heretto CCMS 25.04.09

• Added. The automatic redirects portal feature now includes an option to turn off automatic redirects and delete any previously recorded URL history for a deployment. This feature has been designed for teams who make significant content changes, for example, during the implementation phase or when working on new content that requires a lot of reshuffling.

  Important:

  Automatic redirects are supported only in the next generation manual deployments (v4) that are being rolled out to customers.

• Fixed. When the action of replacing a DITA-OT toolkit fails due to network issues, the system now correctly shows a failure message.

A new Heretto Portal feature, an upgrade to PDF Generator, and a number of fixes.

In cases where changes span both Heretto Deploy API and Heretto Portal, we add release notes for both products with a note that a specific version of Heretto Portal or Deploy API is required.

Heretto Deploy API 25.04.03

• Added. Deploy API now supports automatic redirects. When a page URL changes due to content or site structure updates, users are automatically redirected to the new URL. This feature removes the need to set redirects manually. Manual redirects will be phased out, and more information will be provided soon.

  Important:

  Automatic redirects are supported only in the next generation manual deployments (v4) that are being rolled out to customers.

• Fixed. We resolved an issue that prevented API specifications published with the API Docs feature from loading in SSO-protected portal environments. The issue occurred when the topicref referencing the JSON file or its parent topic had an audience attribute defined. For example:

  <topicref href="api-specification.json" outputclass="openapi-reference" audience="audience_1"/>

  Now, content loads as expected. To learn more about publishing API specifications from JSON files, see Heretto API Docs.

• Fixed. We resolved a Deploy API issue that resulted in broken cross-reference (xref) links in Heretto Portal. The issue occurred if the xml:lang attribute was specified on a topicref or mapref in a containing map. For example, <topicref href="file-name.dita" xml:lang="en-us">. If an xref linked to such a topic or map, then it would not resolve when published to Heretto Portal, resulting in a broken link. Now, such xrefs resolve as expected.

  Note:

  We recommend defining the xml:lang attribute on the root element of a topic or map instead of setting it on a topicref or mapref. That way the content locale (target language) is always defined for the content the topic or map contains.

Heretto Portal 25.04.03

• Added. Heretto Portal now supports automatic redirects. When a page URL changes due to content or site structure updates, users are automatically redirected to the new URL. This feature removes the need to set redirects manually. Manual redirects will be phased out, and more information will be provided soon. Requires Heretto Deploy API 25.04.03.

  Important:

  Automatic redirects are supported only in the next generation manual deployments (v4) that are being rolled out to customers.

• Fixed. We resolved an issue where some navigation dropdown menu options were intermittently not available on the portal. Now, all dropdown menu options are consistently available for selection.

Cloud Publishing 25.04.03

Cloud publishing is an umbrella term for all publishing engines that come with Heretto CCMS, including PDF Generator and DITA-OT Cloud. The cloud publishing infrastructure is separate from Heretto CCMS infrastructure. New versions of cloud publishing are released separately from CCMS versions and are deployed to customers immediately after they are released.

Heretto Portal and Heretto Deploy API publishing are separate products and are not part of cloud publishing.

• Changed. We upgraded the Prince XML version the PDF Generator uses to version 15.4.1. For more information about Prince 15.4.1, see Prince release notes and documentation.

  If you notice any font changes in your PDF Generator output, see SVG Files Render with an Incorrect Font in Output.

• Upgrade of an underlying operating system

A CCMS fix, enhancements to the next generation Localization system, and changes for future Deploy API enhancements.

Heretto CCMS 25.04.01

• Fixed. We fixed an issue where using PDF Generator to publish maps with xml:lang set to values other than en-us resulted in errors when the CCMS default was xml:lang="en-us". It also caused issues with preflight check. Now, preflight check and PDF Generator publishing complete as expected with any xml:lang setting in the map.

• Further backend enhancements to the next generation module of our Localization system.

• Changes for future enhancements of Heretto Deploy API.
