Feb 1, 2025February 2025 (USEPA/webcms) — Focused on reducing maintenance overhead, improving reliability of EPA content processing, and enhancing workflow documentation. Key changes include targeted codebase cleanup, robust URL handling for EPA Snapshot content, and improved module documentation. Representative commits span cleanup of unused Drupal modules (e.g., epa_default_content, epa_metrics, epa_migrations) as well as deprecations of gin_lb, role_theme_switcher, facets_pretty_paths, and Cypress testing pieces (e.g., [EPAD8-2645] cleanup). Bug fixes tightened host stripping to www.epa.gov and expanded exclusion paths (EPAD8-2683). Documentation improvements for the EPA workflow module (EPAD8-2645) enhance automation scheduling, expirations, publishing customizations, and moderation notifications.

Oct 1, 2024October 2024 focused on stabilizing Web CMS UI and improving navigation reliability for Web Area content. Delivered two critical UI bug fixes in USEPA/webcms that enhance content discoverability and visual consistency: (1) breadcrumbs display reliability for Web Area content by correcting how the menu/entity ID is retrieved (migration artifact resolved), and (2) CK5 modal z-index and layering to ensure the modal overlays other page elements. These fixes reduce confusion, improve user experience, and lower support overhead while preserving frontend integrity.
