Release notes for Magnolia CORE 5.7.3

Magnolia CORE 5.7.3 is a bug-fixing and security release that delivers the following:

Changes for authors

Content editor supports richText fields

In a custom content block, you can now use the richText  field type for more advanced text formatting. Previously, only basic text formatting functions were available through the special text block type.

With this Magnolia release, richText initializes correctly in a multivalue field.

MGNLUI-5173

Audit log correctly identifying requestor's user name

With the introduction of the Publishing module, audit log entries for publishing and unpublishing requests always mentioned superuser as the requestor. With Magnolia CORE 5.7.3, the audit log now correctly identifies the requestor's user name again.

MAGNOLIA-7459, PUBLISHING-54

Image editor: no black borders when rotating an image

The image editor in Magnolia's digital asset management no longer creates black borders when you rotate an image.
