Breaking Changes
Image Settings & Image Generation Default image and image resize settings, and manual image generation provision has been moved to a global level, therefore different image sizes cannot be defined for different stores. It will be mandatory to manually generate the images once after upgrading to Znode v9.6.2
New Feature

Administration
Admin users can now create and manage custom content widgets using global attribute families for different Locale, User Profile, and Widget Template combinations. This will provide more flexibility in creating custom content widgets and managing the same content widgets with different content for different user groups.
Note: This release includes only the admin application configurations for widget templates and content widgets. The upcoming release will include the web store and the theme changes for the content widgets.
Enhancements
[ZPD-10403] - Image Settings & Image Generation Changes
Administration
Admin users can now manage the Default Image and Image Resize settings for all stores globally. Also, the following enhancements related to image generation are introduced:
Images uploaded to the DAM from anywhere in the application will automatically get generated in the required sizes so that admin users do not have to manually generate the images every time a new image is uploaded.
A button to generate an image in the defined sizes is added on the Edit Media screen so that in case image generation fails, admin users can edit the media file and can generate the image from there.
Whenever images are generated manually, only the images whose required image sizes are not generated will get generated.
The image size generation process will generate only those images whose required sizes are not available.
[ZPD-12687/ZLMC-1770] - Provision To Move License Folder Outside The API Folder
Administration
Developers can now use absolute as well as relative paths for the License folder.
