Release History

Below are the release notes for Umbraco Engage 16, detailing all changes in this version.

16.2.0 (March 4th 2026)

• Redesigned the reporting star schema by introducing a new FctSessionNode fact table, replacing the previous DimNodeAncestor table and pre-computed withSubpages approach. This reduces star generation time and TempDB usage for large datasets.

• Added the ability to view heatmaps for 'Other' (unknown) device types.

• Added an 'All cultures' option to the Pageview Goal picker, defaulting to all cultures when creating new pageview goals.

• Improved path handling for CM/CD server configurations in the Headless package, ensuring correct content retrieval based on specified culture.

• Resolved an issue where the pagehide event listener was not correctly handling page visibility changes in the analytics tracking script.

• Fixed extraction of the Membership Provider Key, resolving cases where the key was not correctly retrieved from the HTTP context.

• Fixed HttpContext.Request corruption in UrlUmbracoPageVariantExtractor, ensuring request state is preserved for downstream middleware.

• Resolved multiple UI interaction bugs in the analytics dashboard affecting chart rendering, table prefabs, and A/B testing save-and-publish visibility conditions.

• Fixed incorrect sum calculation by excluding pageSessionsWithSubpages from the analytics table aggregation.

• Resolved NPoco not supporting int[] expansion in the HeatmapService query.

• Fixed persona ordering in CSV exports to be alphabetical.

Engage Forms 16.2.1 (February 19th 2026)

• Fixed a security issue (GHSA-86vq-ccwf-rm62).

16.1.2 (January 8th 2026)

• Resolved an issue where the YouTube IFrame Player was being overridden when already initialized on the page. The analytics script now reuses an existing YT Player instance instead of creating a new one, preventing conflicts with sites that have their own YouTube player initialization.

• Resolved Swagger schema generation issues when used in combination with the Umbraco.DeliveryApiExtensions addon.

• Resolved cookie retention when using the headless /trackpageview/server endpoint (Issue #42).

Engage Forms 16.2.0 (January 8th 2026)

• Resolved various bugs regarding A/B Test UI, including the editing and previewing of segments.

• Resolved multiple issues with reporting tabs, including segment personalization, goal performance, and segment potential displays.

• Resolved heatmap display issues by ensuring the default culture is used for invariant documents, with minor style improvements.

• Resolved ProducesResponseType attributes using the incorrect StatusCodeResult type.

16.1.0 (November 7th 2025)

• Bumped the minimal CMS requirement to Umbraco version 16.2.0 due to compatibility changes.

• Resolved Split URL tests and Single Page tests not configuring properly.
