A Deploy API version with an improvement to the stability of deployments in portal v6.

Heretto Deploy API 26.05.28

• Fixed. We resolved an issue where a deployment in Heretto Portal v6 could fail when a translated topic contained an unresolvable content reference (conref) whose target was present in the source language but absent from the translation. Deployments now complete successfully in this case, and the translated page is published with the referenced content missing.

A new Heretto Portal version with several new features, enhancements, and fixes, some of which require Heretto Deploy API 26.05.22.

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

Heretto Portal 26.05.26

• Added. Heretto Portal v6 now, by default, shows the short description (shortdesc) of the parent sitesection element as a subtitle below the title in the hero section on section and content pages. The homepage hero section shows a default subtitle instead. Search, search results, and error pages show no subtitle by default. Subtitles can be translated globally or per page type. Per-page translations overwrite the default values.

  

• Added. The outputclass attribute on sectiongroup elements is now correctly propagated to the class attribute in published HTML output. This was introduced for Heretto Portal v6 and works for both manual and active sync deployments. Requires Heretto Deploy API 26.05.26.

• Added. Heretto Portal v6 now includes a top navigation bar that lists top-level sitesection links. On desktop, sections that exceed the available horizontal space are collected into a drop-down menu rather than requiring horizontal scrolling. On mobile, the active section serves as the drop-down button when space is limited. This feature was previously available in Heretto Portal v5 and has been reintroduced in v6 with a simplified, responsive implementation.

• Enhanced. We improved the responsiveness of Heretto Portal v6 environments with active sync deployments. Content and structure changes are now reflected in the portal within five seconds of being available, reduced from up to 30 seconds previously.

• Enhanced. Heretto Portal v6 footer configuration has been simplified into a single, more capable variant. The previous minimalistic variant has been removed; its features are now available as configurable options within the default footer, which also adds support for social media links with icons and translatable link text.

• Fixed. We resolved a Heretto Portal v6 issue where portal pages could intermittently render without styling when navigating between pages. This occurred because page assets were not being preserved during navigation unless the session started on a content page. Refreshing the page restored the expected styling. Page assets are now preserved correctly across all navigation paths.

• Fixed. We resolved an issue in Heretto Portal v6 where navigational elements created with <topichead outputclass="view-tiles"> did not show the tiles layout when clicking the navigational element directly from the main navigation menu (on the left side). The tiles layout now renders correctly when accessed from the main navigation menu. Also, when no outputclass attribute is set on a topichead element, portal redirects to the first content page (no change).

• Fixed. We resolved a regression in Heretto Portal v6 where sitesections with the version element created with <sitesection outputclass="view-tiles"> did not show the tiles layout for the selected version. The tiles layout now renders correctly for such sitesection elements. When no outputclass attribute is set on a sitesection element, the portal redirects to the first content page.

Heretto Deploy API 26.05.22

• Added. Heretto Portal v6 now supports sectiongroup elements in child sitemaps referenced from a sitesection in the main sitemap. An example of a child sitemap structure that is now supported:

  <sitemap>
      <sectiongroup>
          <topicmeta>
              <navtitle>Sectiongroup in a Child Sitemap</navtitle>
          </topicmeta>
          
          <sitesection outputclass="view-tiles">
              <topicmeta>
                  <navtitle>Product A</navtitle>
              </topicmeta>
              <topicref href="product-a.ditamap"/>
          </sitesection>
          
          <sitesection outputclass="view-tiles">
  		   ...
          </sitesection>
      </sectiongroup>
  </sitemap>
  

• Added. The outputclass attribute added to sectiongroup elements is now propagated to the HTML class attribute when publishing with Heretto Portal v6. This works for both manual and active sync deployments. Requires Heretto Portal 26.05.26.

• Enhanced. We improved error reporting for deployments in Heretto Portal v6 that fail due to an unresolvable content reference (conref) in a translated version of the content, where the conref target exists in the source language but is absent from one or more translations. Previously, these failures surfaced a generic rendering error with no indication of the cause. For active sync deployments, the message now appears in the deployment details in the Deployments interface. For manual deployments, the error details are available to the Heretto support team in the publishing job logs.

• Enhanced. We improved the stability of deployments in Heretto Portal v6 environments with localized content. Deployments now complete successfully when locale metadata has no value assigned, rendering the affected content in the source language instead.

• Fixed. We fixed an issue where pages with an API specification published to Heretto Portal v6 linked with <xref scope="external" href="link-to-an-api-endpoint"></xref> would return a 404 error when the toc="no" attribute was used to hide the API specification from the portal navigation. External links to API specification pages now resolve correctly regardless of whether toc="no" is used. For details about how to publish API specifications to Heretto Portal, see Heretto Portal API Docs.

Heretto Portal 26.05.12

• Fixed. We fixed an issue in Heretto Portal v5, where API error responses could return more information than intended. This affected several internal API endpoints. They now return only the appropriate HTTP error status code when an error occurs.
