~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2018-03-22 02:42:14 +01:00
2018-04-04 16:00:19 +02:00
A new panel type `` HelpPanel `` allows to easily add HTML within an edit form.

2018-04-23 17:26:32 +02:00
Profile picture upload
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Users can now upload profile pictures directly through the Account Settings menu, rather than using Gravatar. Gravatar is still used as a fallback if no profile picture has been uploaded directly; a new setting :ref: `WAGTAIL_GRAVATAR_PROVIDER_URL <wagtail_gravatar_provider_url>` has been added to specify an alternative provider, or disable the use of external avatars completely. This feature was developed by Daniel Chimeno, Pierre Geier and Matt Westcott.
2018-01-12 14:16:46 +01:00
API lookup by page path
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The API now includes an endpoint for finding pages by path; see :ref: `apiv2_finding_pages_by_path` . This feature was developed by Karl Hobley.
2018-01-30 17:36:19 +01:00
2018-04-09 08:56:10 +02:00
User time zone setting
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2022-08-14 08:03:46 +02:00
Users can now set their current time zone through the Account Settings menu, which will then be reflected in date / time fields throughout the admin (such as go-live / expiry dates). The list of available time zones can be configured via the :ref: `WAGTAIL_USER_TIME_ZONES <wagtail_user_time_zones>` setting. This feature was developed by David Moore.
2018-04-09 08:56:10 +02:00
2018-05-04 17:19:27 +02:00

Upgrade considerations
======================
2018-02-02 12:34:12 +01:00
Image format `` image_to_html `` method has been updated
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The internal API for rich text image format objects (see :ref: `rich_text_image_formats` ) has been updated; the `` Format.image_to_html `` method now receives the `` extra_attributes `` keyword argument as a dictionary of attributes, rather than a string. If you have defined any custom format objects that override this method, these will need to be updated.
