# CMS Release 3.97.0

We're excited to announce the release of Sportal365 CMS Version 3.97.0, which includes a series of important enhancements and fixes designed to improve both the functionality for editors and provide technical updates relevant to developers. Here's a breakdown of the updates in this new version:

**🚀 Note: To experience the full benefits of CMS Version 3.97.0, please log out and log back in.** 

## What's new for editors in version 3.97.0?

**Improvements:**

- **Fans United Latest Version:** Fans United has been upgraded to the latest release. This ensures you have access to the most up-to-date features and improvements. For details on what's new, refer to the Fans United release notes.
- **Updated Programme Widgets:** Programme widget blocks now include additional configuration options such as the date and limit settings to tailor content display better. This update applies to: 
    - 🏀 **Basketball**: Team Programme, Tournament Programme
    - ⚽ **Football V2**: Team Programme, Tournament Programme
    - 🎾 **Tennis**: Athlete Programme, Tournament Programme
- **Focused Preview Process:** The preview button has been optimized to load only one widget at a time. This change not only speeds up the preview process but also focuses your attention on individual elements, enhancing your ability to fine-tune settings without distractions.

**Bug Fixes:**

- **Visibility of Added Articles:** Fixed an issue in the article list sidebar where lists containing the open article were not visible.
- **Preview Blocks Display Fix:** Corrected the data-header-display blocks to prevent showing "dataHeaderDisplay" in preview blocks when this option is unchecked.
- **Concurrent List Updates:** Addressed a bug affecting the simultaneous updating of lists by several people, ensuring consistent updates whether changes are made from the sidebar in an Article or from the List edit screen.

## What's new for developers in version 3.97.0?

**Project-Specific Widget Previews:**

- **Customizable Widget Properties:** You can now tailor widget previews with properties specific to each widget. This capability ensures that the previews you work within the CMS match the widgetAttributes that are being used on your website.

**Activation and Customization:**

- **On-Demand Activation:** This feature is available upon client request — contact your Sportal365 account manager or support team to enable it. It allows you to integrate custom attributes such as "data-header-default-option": "POPULAR" or "data-team-short-name-type": "three\_letter\_code" and etc. These settings are typically configured on the front end of your website and can now be mirrored in the CMS for a more cohesive workflow.

 

For questions or feedback on Version 3.97.0, contact your Sportal365 account manager or the support team.
