This extension provides temporary fixes to CKAN core issues that aren’t yet merged upstream but are expected to be merged soon. All fixes are enabled by default and can be selectively disabled via configuration. Each fix is associated with a CKAN core pull request. Features include: dashboard activity page fix (PR#7482, in master), markdown macro regression fix after Bootstrap 5 migration (PR#7485, in master), FontAwesome icons fix after Bootstrap 5 (PR#7474, in master), primary/secondary block order regression fix (PR#7468, in master), button icon/text gap fix (PR#7470, in master), mobile layout breakpoint fix for Bootstrap 5 (PR#7467, in master), activities list page modern restyling (PR#7491), dataset group list CSRF token fix (in master), dashboard organization tab labels and links fix (in master), Redis session serialization fix for Markup objects using msgspec (PR#8704 ongoing). Compatible with CKAN 2.10.0. Merged fixes may be removed in future versions to avoid accumulating disabled fixes. Python 3.7-3.10 compatible. Beta development status. AGPL licensed.
