Version 2868

New Features ✨

Import and Export of Content

  • Import documents in many formats (Word, ODT, RTF, Markdown, Docuwiki, Typst, LaTeX, and more) directly into Phonemos pages. Available in the “…” menu on any page

  • New Phonemos Archive export format captures all page data and is importable into other Phonemos instances

  • Control page breaks in PDF and Word exports with the new Page Break widget. This inserts a page break in Word and PDF and is not visible in the browser

  • Import from Azure DevOps (see Migrate Azure DevOps Wiki), Sharepoint (Migrate Sharepoint) and file shares (Migrate Word Documents)

Split and Merge Pages

  • Split a page into multiple pages at heading boundaries

  • Merge child pages into a single consolidated page

Math Formula Support

  • Write mathematical expressions using LaTeX syntax as inline or block elements

Diagram Widgets: PlantUML and Mermaid

  • PlantUML and Mermaid diagram widgets with syntax highlighting and live preview (diagrams update as you type)

  • Fullscreen editor to edit the text-based diagrams

  • Full live collaboration support on diagrams, multiple persons can work on the same diagram concurrently

  • Diagrams from all supported formats (Drawio, BPMN, CMMN, Mermaid, PlantUML) are now rendered as images in PDF and Word exports

AI Authoring via MCP Server

  • AI agents like Mistral, Claude, ChatGPT and many other can now create new pages and edit existing content in Phonemos using the MCP server on the explicit request and in the name of a user.

  • New tools: createWikipage, addWikipageRevision, getWikipageContent, validateContent, getDocumentSchema

  • Contact your Phonemos partner to connect your Phonemos instance to your LLM provider

Publishing Workflow: Version Tags

  • When publishing a page, users can now enter a label or version name as a tag

  • Configure the workflow under topic settings → Workflow and chose “Explicit Versioning (Tags)”

 

Diff View for Pages

  • Compare revisions of a page with a visual diff view

 

Improvements ⚡

Language and Localisation

  • Language switcher available on public sites using the default theme

  • English locale switched from US to GB (affects date formats and spellings)

Confluence Import

  • Improved import of Confluence tables

  • Improved sizing of images imported from Confluence

Fixes 🛠

System Stability

  • Documents are now exported in the viewed language

  • S3 CORS settings corrected

  • Several UI typos fixed across all languages

  • Create announcements button no longer scrolls out of view

  • Exporting pages with values for removed metadata fields no longer fails

  • Better compatibility with EntraID for SCIM

On-Premise Operations

  • Helm

    • Database migrations now run in a dedicated container with advisory-lock serialisation; Hasura, backend, and frontend will not start until all migrations are complete. This minimises downtime during upgrades

    • Reducing memory and filesystem footprint by consolidating serveral large converter containers (bpmn, drawio) into a reusable one

  • Standalone linux

    • System restart now always brings up all containers, fixed waiting for dependencies to start first

  • Show enabled features and active capabilities in the “About” dialog

Technical Updates

  • Update Pandoc to 3.9

  • Various dependency updates for improved security and performance
