Scrivito 1.11.0 Release Notes
Ready for Rails 5.1
Updated and improved HTML editor
Scrivito includes the easy-to-use MediumEditor for editing text in place. This handy tool has been updated to version 5.23.0.

Further improvements and bugfixes
Changes list indicates conflicts
Working with the changes list, you can now easily spot a conflict caused by publishing another working copy. Items that prevent your working copy from being published or that cannot be moved to a different working copy are highlighted. A tooltip briefly states the reason for the conflict.
Undefined Obj model class no longer breaks app
Applications that do not have an obj.rb file (defining::Obj) are working again.Fully qualified URLs for not-yet-cached binaries
Scrivito includes a helper,scrivito_url, for rendering links pointing to, for example, PDF files. With target CMS objects that weren't in the cache, the helper returned a URL in which the host was missing, causing binaries not located on the website to be unavailable. This behavior has been fixed.
