3.6.0.beta1

Upgrade steps

Add the following line to app/assets/config/manifest.js

//= link spotlight/manifest.js

Note that you must specify BOOTSTRAP_VERSION="~> 4.0" if you run the Blacklight installer, because Spotlight does not yet support Bootstrap 5.

The big changes

• Blacklight 8 support
• We no longer require sprockets to compile the javascript, you can use alternative bundlers or just use the javascript published to NPM as spotlight-frontend
