Smarter Image Handling And CDN-Safe Media Variants

Media transformations now give teams a more flexible way to manage derived images, overrides, nested asset paths, and CDN-safe variants. Editors can keep source media clean while Basker prepares the right image for cards, heroes, galleries, and social previews.

What is covered

This release improves animated GIF handling, non-image file delivery, EXIF orientation, focal point crops, and Orange Logic imports. Together, these changes make media behave more predictably across the CMS and public sites.

Fewer surprises in production

Previously, an uploaded image could appear cropped differently depending on where it appeared: a card, a hero, or a social preview. The new variant model ensures consistent, intentional transformations regardless of context.
