Gentics Content.Node Changelog

Gentics Content.Node 5.14.36

Bugfix RT56639

Tagtype migration: When doing a migration on an object property definition in the Administration, there somtimes occured a SGB error or a white page was shown. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT58140

A bug in the page version restore was fixed. In some cases a version restore could create a new mappedglobalid record which conflicted with the existing one. This duplicate record could lead to import/export problems. In some cases an import of a page which would overwrite a page tag would recreate the tag without a value. The duplicate mappedglobalid records will automatically be purged. Please note that the purge process may a take while depending on your mappedglobalid size.

Bugfix RT57635

Fixed an issue where pages couldn‘t be listed in the backend if you only had permissions for a specific language using a role and the language had not yet been set.

Bugfix kb1568

Gentics Image Store: Resizing an image produced an exception so the image did not resize and instead the original image was returned. This has been fixed.

Bugfix RT58095

contentfile-auto-offline: Previously, when a page contained an Image-URL for an Image in the same contentrepository, the target image file was not taken online automatically. This has been fixed.

Bugfix RT57635

Fixed an issue where role permissions were sometimes not loaded correctly and users had too little or too many permissions. Also, existing role permissions sometimes wouldn‘t show in the role editor and be deleted on save even if not modified.

Bugfix RT58072

Multichanneling: When editing the value of a part type URL and the file/image is inside a localized folder, the displayed path name was wrong.

Gentics Content.Node 5.14.35

Bugfix RT58016

Validation feature: Fixed that some page properties and page tags/object properties weren‘t validated in the Rest API page/save request. This only affects GCN systems where the validation feature is enabled.

Bugfix RT58049

When uploading a file, the temporary file of the File-Upload-Manipulator was never deleted. This has been fixed.

Bugfix RT58073

GenticsImageStore: jpeg resizing quality setting is not ignored when cropping.
When the jpeg resizing quality was set in the node configuration, it was ignored when cropping an image. This error has been fixed.

Gentics Content.Node 5.14.34

Bugfix RT57997

Previously, a rollback of a Contentrepository transaction of a publish run could result in a hangup of the publish process. This has been fixed now.

Gentics Content.Node 5.14.33

Enhancement RT58071

Improved the documentation for the Navigation Part Type

Bugfix RT58030

When setting a startpage for a folder in the folder object properties a log entry is written. This log entry is missing, when doing the same via the context menu in the page list of a folder. Now both actions will produce the same log entry.

Bugfix RT578055

GCN JS API / REST-API: Fixed page.preview() not working for pages in channels.
A new request parameter “nodeId” has been added to the RestAPI preview method. There was an error when calling the GCN JS API function ‘preview‘ in a local folder of a channel. This error has been fixed.

Bugfix RT57999

Publishing: File names with ‘)‘ and ‘]‘ didn‘t work with the Gentics Image Store.

Bugfix RT58067

An import would previously under certain circumstances delete a freshly imported value from a contenttag. These values are now imported correctly.

Bugfix RT58036

linkBrowser: only channel nodes from the master node are displayed in the link Browser.
Before the fix, all channel nodes were displayed in the Link Browser. Now only the channel nodes derived from the master node of the actual page are displayed in the navigation tree of the link Browser.

Gentics Content.Node 5.14.32

Bugfix RT58031

The ‘Web adresse‘ regular expression now accepts ‘https://‘ URLs and network-path reference URLs (‘//‘).
When creating a new part type and selecting ‘Web adresse‘ as regular expression only ‘http‘ URLs were accepted. With this fix, ‘https‘ URLs are also accepted.

Bugfix RT58034

Occasionally, in Wiki-Edit-Mode, when clicking “edit” in the Real-Editor an error message was shown instead of the editing mask.

Bugfix RT57902

During import, objects with translatable names or descriptions (Tagtypes, Parts,...) previously would have empty names or descriptions replaced by non-empty strings of other translations. Now, empty names or descriptions can be imported normally.

Bugfix RT58007

Previously, Navigation parts would use and count pages that were not not yet published or already taken offline. They have been fixed to only use and count pages that are actually online.

Gentics Content.Node 5.14.31

Information related to the Heartbleed openSSL security vulnerability
The libSSL version 0.9.8 which was included in older Gentics Content.Node installation packages does not contain the Transport Layer Security (TLS) heartbleed extension. It is therefore not affected by the Heartbleed security bug. The latest Gentics Content.Node installation package (5.16.x) does not contain any thirdparty binary libraries.

Bugfix RT57923

Email sending: Fixed GCN not setting the “Return-Path“ in some cases when “$MAILRETURNPATH” is specified in the configuration. This happened for example when someone took pages back into revision in the publish queue.

Bugfix RT57893

Improved robustness of publish process A race condition that allowed the publish process to run multiple times in parallel has been removed. A potential deadlock in error handling during the initialisation phase of the publish process has been removed.

Bugfix RT57985

When only a tagmap entry was modified for a ContentRepository, but no data was changed, the subsequent call to CRSync or MCCRSync would not synchronize this changed tagmap entry to the target CR. This has been fixed now, CRSync and MCCRSync will always synchronize modified tagmap entries, even if no actual data was changed.

Bugfix RT57986

Multiple bugs concerning overviews have been fixed: An overview would be dirted if a matching object was added in a channel. A recursive overview of images would not be dirted if an image was added in a subfolder of a selected folder. An overview would not render objects created in the same channel, if there were no other dependencies of the page in that channel (as compared to the parent channel).

Bugfix RT57976

When defining velocity macros in tag implementations, the macros were globally available and would be overwritten by macros defined in other tags but with the same name. This resulted in unexpected and random behavior if multiple macros with the same name were defined. The scope of inline defined macros has been changed to be local to the template, like documented in the Gentics Content.Node Guides.

Gentics Content.Node 5.14.30

Bugfix RT57977

File properties: Fixed a Javascript error that occured when opening the minibrowser and then clicking “ok“.
The Javascript error that was thrown: “TypeError: f.f_filename is undefined”.

Bugfix RT57922

Fixed wrong permission checking when assigning/unlinking nodes from a CR in the administration. Previously the following permissions where checked:

ContentRepository: Edit
Nodes: Create new node
Node: Display

Now the following permissions are checked:

ContentRepository: Edit
Node: Edit

Gentics Content.Node 5.14.29

Bugfix RT57984

When importing pages containing overviews over images, where the images have been selected manually, the references to the images were not set correctly, which resulted in empty overviews. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix

An internal shutdown method for Gentics Content.Node has been fixed. Previously the shutdown command did not close the MySQL connection pool.

Bugfix RT54176

When importing a new node with a new object property definition, that is restricted to the node, the restriction was not set correctly. On the target system, the object property definition was available to all nodes. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT57796

Overview tags in pages: When editing new overview tags in pages the wizard starts with page 1 correctly. Previously it started with page 2 if any changes were made to the page.

Bugfix RT57874

The way, older publish logs are archived was inefficient and has been improved. Before this fix, having many publish logs (e.g. because the publish process runs very often) which were very large could cause the archiving to take a very long time (up to several hours).

Gentics Content.Node 5.14.28

Security RT57919

Enhancement

Internal connections that use the IPv6 loopback interface are now also whitelisted by default. Previously IPv6 connections that used ‘::1‘ were not accepted by default.

Documentation RT57920

The documentation of the feature “cr_filesystem_attributes” has been enhanced to clarify that it is mandatory to repair the ContentRepository structures after switching on the feature, even if no filesystem attribute is used yet.

Bugfix RT57916

Folder creation: A rare error has been fixed that occured when creating a folder. During the creation of the folder an SGB error occured and a “tag_duplicate“-error was logged. This happened when the mother folder had an object property set, that was created inside another object property. When an object property definition was added to folders afterwards, with the same keyword and “inheration” enabled, the tag duplication (for inherited tags) while creating a folder didn‘t work properly.

Bugfix RT57966

When rendering a channel local page for editing without specifying a nodeId, this failed because the page could not be loaded from the master channel. Now, the channel of the page will implicitly set and rendering will work as expected. This also affected frontend editing using Gentics Portal.Node Java, which did not work for channel specific pages.

Bugfix RT57856

When cancelling a page while editing it in Aloha Editor or using the REST API, the global ID of the page might change, which would cause unexpected behavior when the page was exported to another system, since the page would then have different global IDs on the systems and could not be overwritten by a subsequent export. This has been fixed now, the global IDs of pages will no longer change when cancelling editing. Pages that are already affected by changed global IDs need to manually be modified if necessary.

Bugfix RT57955

Certain inconsistencies in the database ~~files that exist in a folder but are bound to a channel, in which the file cannot be visible, because the folder is not visible in that channel~~ could cause a NullPointerException during the publish process while checking online files. This has been fixed now, such files will be treated as “non existent” in the folder‘s node and will be taken offline.

Bugfix RT57957

On a rollback of a publishrun with instant publishing enabled, Gentics Content.Node would previously leave already published objects in the content repository, but delete their filesystem attributes. This behaviour has been corrected so that only the filesystem attributes of actually rolled back objects are deleted.

Bugfix RT57918

File upload: Fixed image recognition for JPG images not correctly working in rare cases. Previously those images would not be recognized as image and the mimetype would be “application/octet-stream”. Now they are correctly recognized as images.

Bugfix RT57892

The process of resizing images during a publish process with the GenticsImageStore has been modified to be more stable. Before this fix, images were fetched from the cache or resized (if not found in the cache) while subsequently reading data from the database. When many images needed to be resized this could take a long time and could cause the open database statement to run into a timeout. In these cases, the publish process would fail. Now, the database statement to get the information, which images are resized using the GenticsImageStore is processed before the actual image resizing takes place. Resizing the images may still take long, but will not cause a timeout in the database any more, so the likeliness of publish failures is reduced.

Bugfix RT57915

When a page variant of an inherited page was created in a channel local folder, the master page could not be edited any more. Additionally, loading the master page over the REST API in the scope of the master with page variants attached resulted in an error. These errors have been fixed now.

Bugfix RT57921

Time management will now also be done in nodes, that have publishing disabled. Pages affected from time management will be set offline or online due to time management, but those changes will still not be published as long as publishing is disabled for the node. This will enable time management in situations, where pages from nodes with publishing disabled are inherited into channels that have publishing enabled. Additionally, time management is more efficient now, which reduces the publishing time for every publish process.

Bugfix RT57950

The error handling for publishing into contentrepositories with multithreaded publishing has been improved.

Bugfix RT57919

LDAP Login: Fixed that the LDAP login is not working on certain LDAP server configurations, when using the setting $LDAP_LOGIN_FIELDS[“dontuse_uniquememberattribute“] = true; in the GCN configuration. The problem only occured with LDAP servers that use the field “uid“ or others for the unique user identifier, instead of “cn”.

Bugfix RT57803

Fixed a content repository consistency issue: If you moved a file between two nodes that publish to the same content repository, that has instant publishing enabled, it would get deleted from the contentrepository on the next publish run.

Gentics Content.Node 5.14.27

realeditor

Bugfix RT57819-RT57627

Follow-up from Bugfix RT57627. When a Page is imported and no weekdays are set for per-weekday-publishing it automatically sets all weekdays. Since GCN 5.15.8 all weekdays are set for per-weekday-publishing by default. This fixes importing a page from a system prior 5.15.8, where pages would appear online if no weekday was set for per-weekday-publishing.

Bugfix RT57849

When opening a page for editing with Aloha Editor, the toolbar entries to insert new tags into editables are created asynchronously. In cases, where this takes longer and the editor activates an editable before the initialization is done, a wrong set of icons was shown. This has been fixed now. If an editor activates an editable before the tag insert icons are initialized, a “loading” icon will be shown in the toolbar as placeholder for the tag insert menu. When the the tag insert icons are ready to be used, the placeholder will immediately be replaced with the tag insert icons.

Bugfix RT57745

When subscribing to the event channel ‘tag.rendered‘ or ‘page.rendered‘ in the Gentics Content.Node JavaScript API, the handlers were not called when inserting new tags and the insertion failed (tag was not inserted) without any visible error messages. These errors have been fixed now, when inserting a new tag, the handler for the channel ‘tag.rendered‘ will be called and insertion will succeed.

Gentics Content.Node 5.14.26

Bugfix RT57867

Previously, the purgeversions job would corrupt the page cache and a subsequent “Page Cancel” on a corrupted page would revert it to its first recorded version. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT57610

Internet Explorer 11 failed to be recognized as browser that is compatible with Live Editor, therefore the Live Editor was deactivated when using Internet Explorer 11. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT57663

Part types: Fixed some tag part types not having a “cnTagPart_“ HTML class set. This has been added for the following types now:

URL (file)
URL (folder)
URL (image)
URL (page): Has “cnTagPart_NAME_internal“ and ”cnTagPart_NAME_external

Bugfix RT57793

Nodes having updates of filesystem/ContentRepository disabled were not rendered italic in the content maintenance dialog. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT57828

Multiple fixes/enhancements for the GCN fileuploader:
File properties:

Fixed changed filename not being taking over when uploading a new file for an existing file
When the filename of the new file has a new extension, the old extension will be replaced automatically
Added new button “Take over new filename” to take over the filename of the new file by clicking

Bugfix RT57815

A bug in the File Upload Manipulator was fixed. Previously the “fileId” property was not set in the request to the FUM script. This issue has now been resolved.

Bugfix RT57888

An broken i18n translation string was fixed in the User administration. The broken translation caused an input error when a new user was being added. This issue has now been resolved.

Gentics Content.Node 5.14.25

Bugfix RT57808

The message count in the top right corner had a bug that caused it to always be 0. It has been fixed to show the current number of unread messages of the user.

Bugfix RT57787

Page import: Fixed links sometimes not being rendered correctly when publising the pages during import. The links were published as static links (like they have not been transformed), however in the page preview it was rendered correctly. Now when using instant publishing, links will probably be rendered as “#” first (when the target page does not exist yet and will be imported later), but with the next publish run they will be rendered correctly.

Gentics Content.Node 5.14.24

Bugfix RT57813

Previously, Gentics Content.Node would not publish pages from a channel in the filesystem, if the master node has either updates disabled or publishing into filesystem disabled. Now it will correctly publish as indicated in the properties of the channel node.

Bugfix RT57764

Fixed the permissions check when moving a folder into another folder. The user needed the “create File“ permission on the target folder and the “create Folder” permission was ignored.

Bugfix RT57774

Fixed a database consistency problem that occured whenever a master folder with localizations was moved inside a channel node.

Gentics Content.Node 5.14.23

Bugfix RT57712

When a page in the master node links to another object (file, image, page or folder) that exists locally in a channel and the source page is rendered in the master node, the link will be rendered as empty (#) now. Before this fix, the URL to the channel local page was rendered, which resulted in a dead link.

Bugfix RT57750

Gentics Content.Node now fails earlier if it detects common serious problems with GlobalID generation. (e.g. if you accidentally reset globalidsequence, import different objects with identical GlobalIDs or try to generate GlobalIDs with a NULL globalprefix)
This fix contains database changes that might take some time (~10min for 12M mappedglobalids) and might fail if your database is already corrupted (duplicate GlobalIDs or NULL GlobalIDs).
In order to prevent data corruption, the webapp will refuse to start if a modification to mappedglobalidsequence is detected (See error message in catalina.out).

Bugfix RT57712

When pushing pages to master nodes using the channel synchronization, pushing of pages will be prevented, if they use local templates (that are not available in the master node). The user will receive a notification about the inability to push pages due to local templates.

Bugfix RT57769

FileUploadManipulator: Fixed the “folder” object not being sent in the json script request object. See the FUM documentation for more information.

Bugfix RT57633

Page versions: Fixed data inconsistencies in the database table (duplicate data in nodeversion table) caused by users double clicking on the publish link.

Bugfix RT51701

In the list of scheduler jobs, some execution plans of jobs were not readable in the tooltip due to css styling issues. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT57710

When the name of a node was changed using the backend UI, dependent objects were not dirted. This has been fixed now, changing the node name will now correctly trigger object dirting.

Gentics Content.Node 5.14.22

Manual Change

Server JRE Update

A jvm bug was discovered that caused OutOfMemory errors due to non garbage collected image data.
Please update the used Java version to Server JRE 1.7.0_51-b13 64 bit Download the Server JRE package and extract it in e.g. /Node/. Update the /Node/java symlink to point to the new ‘Server JRE‘ directory. Restart the tomcat once you finished this step using the /Node/bin/nodectl script.

Enhancement rt57204

The documentation about the publish process has be reorganized and enhanced.

Bugfix RT57500

A behaviour in IE caused fields to remain greyed out in the tagfill dialogue. When clicking the “display content” checkbox the area should change. The behaviour was fixed for IE.

Bugfix RT57688

When saving or importing a template, a NullPointerException would sometimes be thrown if the containing folder of the template has been deleted. Now you can also handle templates where the containing folder is deleted.

Bugfix RT57717

A bug in the migration feature was fixed. In some cases the migration of pages changed the page status to ‘being edited‘. This issue only occurred for pages that used templates that were modified recently. Additionally the logging of the migration process was enhanced.

Gentics Content.Node 5.14.21

Enhancement RT57609

The performance of rendering statistics in the maintenance dialog has been improved by around 50% on systems with many nodes.

Bugfix RT57708

A NullPointerException that sporadically happens if a dependency gets deleted while the publishing process is running has been fixed.

Bugfix RT57635

Permission checking for translation was updated, so that edit rights are not required anymore for the source language of a translation.

Bugfix RT57627

Various small fixes concerning per-weekday publishing in timemanagement. Previously, per weekday publishing only worked with a start time set. Now it works unconditonally. Previously, page/load REST-API calls would return time management information with weekdays initialized to false if a start time was not set, now they are more intuitively initialized to true.

Bugfix RT57658

When using the REST API to create a page, file or folder in a folder that exists locally in a channel without specifying a nodeId, the object was created in the master node, but could never be seen in the master node, because its folder did not exist in the master node. This has been changed now, if no nodeId is specified in the request, the object will be created in the folder‘s channel. If an invalid nodeId is specified (nodeId of a channel, in which the specified folder is not visible), the request will fail now.

Bugfix RT57565

File upload: The description field in the “New -> File / Image” dialog has been removed. It was confusing for some users that the description was only set for files that were added/uploaded afterwards.

Bugfix RT56361

A potential php out of memory error has been fixed in the maintenance dialog.

Bugfix RT57684

The way the changelog will be presented in the autoupdate dialog has been changed. Previously all changelog entries would be shown in the changelog dialog. Starting with the next release only the new changelog entries will be shown. Additionally the way how the changelog must be confirmed was changed. It is now mandatory to confirm each manual change.

Bugfix RT57658

When using the tagfill dialog via frontend editing for uploading a new file or image into a page in a channel, the new file or image was not uploaded to the page‘s channel, but to the master node instead. This has been changed now, new files or images uploaded in the tagfill dialog will now be created in the page‘s channel.

Bugfix RT57697

Live URLs: Fixed icons not being displayed anymore because the image is broken.

Gentics Content.Node 5.14.20

Bugfix RT56904

When importing a folder but not the templates, which are assigned to the folder on the source system, the templates will now be assigned to the folder on the target system, if the templates already exist on the target system. Before this fix, templates were only assigned to folders, if the templates were imported.

Bugfix RT57568

A bug has been fixed, that prevented instant publishing of new folders, that were imported using the page import.

Bugfix RT57670

Previously, certain filenames of pages could not be uniquified automatically. This has been known to cause problems with e.g. imports. The code has been changed to allow for more filenames to be uniquified automatically.

Gentics Content.Node 5.14.19

Enhancement RT57646

Fileuploader: Enhanced the mimetype detection of uploaded Files, mimetypes in container formats are now correctly recognized. Previously, a Microsoft Office .docx document was recognized as application/zip because the container is actually a zip. It is now recognized as “application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document”.

Bugfix RT57644

Since a recent Chrome Update, the first column with the checkbox in GCN lists (pages in folders, scheduler, etc.) was cut. This is fixed now.

Bugfix RT57599

An additional info text has been added to the keyword field in the creation dialog for object properties, tagtypes and tagtype parts. The info text will notify the user that special characters inside the keyword may cause problems when those element are being referenced within an tagmap mapping.

Bugfix RT57650

Previously, when moving files in the backend, the permission check on possible target folders was not performed correctly. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT57462

A bug in the migration feature was fixed. Previously the tagtype migration changed the status of offline pages to being edited. This issue only affected the offline pages within migration jobs.

Bugfix RT57190

Instant publishing a page that uses XNL functions will no longer hang when there is a concurrent publish process that uses XNL functions.

Bugfix RT57588

Previously, some templates found in recursive searches could not be displayed even if the user had permission to do so. This has been fixed now.

Gentics Content.Node 5.14.18

Bugfix RT57624

The GCNJSAPI has been fixed to work as documented when you try to get or set a value of a “Tag (page)” part. Documentation on this has been clarified, too.

Bugfix RT56058

When files in the CMS lost their binary content (or were incompletely created without binary content), the publish process failed (due to missing binary data). The display of such files in the backend was inconsistent and it was not possible to delete such files to resolve the publishing error by using the backend. This has been fixed now, broken files that cause the publish process to fail will now be shown in the backend specially marked (with an alert icon and in red) and it is possible to delete them. Additionally, it is now possible to search broken files using either the extended search in the backend or the REST API.

Bugfix RT57607

When deleting folders, localized copies of templates linked to that folder were deleted, regardless of whether the (master) template was still linked to other folders or used in pages. This bug, which was introduced in Gentics Content.Node 5.13.25, 5.14.13 and 5.15.0 has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT57606

Importing of localized templates always created a conflict due to missing target folder, if the localized template did not yet exist on the target system. Because of this, it was impossible to successfully finish the import. This has been fixed now. For localized templates, no check for target folders is done, because localized templates are always linked to the same folders as their masters.

Bugfix RT57605

The SQL statements used to find reusable data files for filesystem attributes in multichannelling aware contentrepositories were inperformant and have been improved.

Bugfix RT56622

Removing of objects from a multichannelling aware contentrepository with instant publishing did not work. The objects were removed at the next publish run. This has been fixed now, when instant publishing is enabled, objects will be immediately be removed unless more than one object is deleted at once.

Gentics Content.Node 5.14.17

Bugfix RT57556

A minor issue in the autoupdate feature was fixed. Additional protection checks were added to prevent multiple autoupdate invocations.

Bugfix RT57212

When loading the binary contents of a file via the REST API by using /rest/file/content/load/{id} the response always had the ‘Content-Type‘ ‘application/octet-stream‘. This has been changed now, the response to /rest/file/content/load/{id} will now have the correct ‘Content-Type‘ set.

Bugfix RT57550

When selecting elements for an overview using the repository browser, the order of the already selected elements was not always shown consistently. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT57297

A bug in the scheduler view was fixed. Previously no error message was being displayed when the user was trying to delete a scheduler task that still got tasks that depended upon it. This issue has now been resolved.

Bugfix RT57596

When writing pages into the contentrepositories was slower than rendering the pages, the internal job queues could grow very big, which could cause memory problems. This has been fixed now. If one of the queue exceeds the limit of 1000 pages, no more pages will be rendered (and put into the queue), until the queue is below the limit.

Bugfix RT53165

When part of type “URL (Page)“ was set to be required in the tagtype, the tagtype itself could not be filled without providing a default value for that part. This behaviour was different than the behaviour for other parts (e.g. type “Text”) where the part only has to be filled for tags, but not for the tagtype itself. The behaviour has been changed now to be consistent for all part types: If a part is required, it still can be left empty for the tagtype, but has to be filled in tags (e.g. in pages).

Bugfix RT57590

On some systems the Regex.Admin view did not display properly. A security check prevented the correct rendering of the view. The check has been adapted and the view will now render correctly.

Bugfix RT56835

When using small browser windows (e.g. on systems with low resolutions), some data shown on the startpage of the CMS could overlap each other. This has been fixed now. If the window is too small to show the info boxes side by side the boxes will be shown one on top of the other.

Bugfix RT56031

Pausing the scheduler could take a very long time due to an inperformant SQL statement. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT57368

Multichannelling: Fixed the mother_obj_id of a folder not getting updated in the CR when the mother folder gets localized.

Bugfix RT55037

Ordering the file or image list by file size works now correctly.

Bugfix RT57329

Executing the command ‘Change Template‘ on page variants failed with an error, which has been fixed now. When changing the template for multiple pages at once, the pages will now be processed one by one so changes to every single page will now be visible immediately.

Bugfix RT57371

Email sending: Fixed deleted user receiving notification emails from GCN Now deleted users don‘t receive notification emails anymore.

Bugfix RT57259

Sending messages to groups using the GCN Javascript API did not work at all and has been fixed.

Bugfix RT56720

The action “Delete (only this language)“ on pages has been removed for nodes with no languages assigned, for it does nothing. You can use “Delete (all languages)“ instead. For pages that have no language set, although the node has languages assigned, the action “Delete (only this language)” will now delete the page.

Bugfix

When pages were dirted due to changed dependencies, this was not logged any more. This has been fixed now: when a page is dirted, an entry in the logcmd table will be made.

Bugfix RT57435

Previously, if you translated a page using the page/translate REST-API call, it would create excessive language versions of the same language if the master page was not located in a master node. Now, the page/translate call will not create multiple language variants of the same language any more.

Bugfix RT57460

The dirting mechanism has been slightly changed to avoid changes to the page table. This will avoid unnecessary locks of the page table that could cause errors while pages are edited during a long running dirt process.

Gentics Content.Node 5.14.14

Bugfix RT57442

When resizing images during a publish run using the GenticsImageStore, some file handles were not closed. This subsequently could cause publish run failures caused by a “too many open files” error. This has been fixed now, file handles will now immediately be closed after usage.

Gentics Content.Node 5.14.13

Bugfix RT57248

Clicking in ‘Back to folder‘ after loading images/files redirects to Files or Images depending on the type of file(s) we uploaded. When uploading images/files in a new GCN session and then clicking on ‘Back to Folder‘ button, it takes us to File Folder but the side bar component which contains the history and folder elements are not shown. Also when uploading Images it takes us to the File Folder.

Bugfix RT55796

Fix problem with scrollbars when editing an object property of a page. The scollbar show for the body element and for the frame, this cause very difficult to scroll to the properties.

Bugfix

Fixed some Javascript Errors when loading page object properties.

Bugfix RT56799

When editing a page with Aloha Editor the tagname is now shown when hovering the mouse over a tag icon.

Bugfix RT57194

Changing the creation date of a page in the time management changes the page status to ‘modified‘.

Bugfix RT56838

When a folder was deleted in a multichannelling environment, local channel objects existing in that folder were not removed. This caused data inconsistencies in the database, which could cause errors in subsequent publish processes. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT57198

After editing a file/image you are redirected to the list of files or images, depending on the type of the object you were editing. Before this fix: after editing a file/image you were always redirected to the list of files, no matter if you were editing a file or image.

Bugfix RT57013

The sorting of folders has been changes to be closer to Content.Node‘s canonical order. This means that folders that start with square brackets (eg: “[Templates]”) will be listed towards the bottom of the list.

Bugfix

Fixed unnecessary dirting of dependent pages when other pages were republished (and did not go online or offline).

Bugfix RT57317

Clicking publish from the page menu or the assistant frame will now also trigger the GCN JS API channel ‘before.page-publish‘

Bugfix RT57285

Rest API: Fixed /user/me not returning the user‘s groups as shown in the documentation example response. A new query parameter “groups” (default: false) has been added for this.

Gentics Content.Node 5.14.12

Bugfix RT56774

Pages: Fixed object properties sometimes not being returned by the RestAPI (/page/load) and GCN JS API when creating a page in a channel. The problem occured when the object properties are restricted to the master node. Because restriction only works for master nodes the channels are inheriting the restriction from the master node.

Bugfix RT57133

GCN JS API: Fixed page.takeOffline() not working

Bugfix RT55801

Previously, an exception would halt the publish process, if the number of characters of the “directory“ field of a page‘s folder and the “hostname“ and “page directory” fields of the page‘s node exceeded a total of 255. Now, you can use the full length of all of those fields and still have the corresponding pages published correctly.

Bugfix RT57211

Previously, when publishing files took longer than the MySQL wait_timeout, the publish process would fail because of a lost MySQL connection. Now, there‘s a keepalive in the file publishing loop, which prevents the MySQL connection from timing out.

Bugfix RT55801

The tooltip on folder‘s “directory” field has been rewritten to clarify the field‘s restrictions.

Bugfix RT50796

Added proper escaping for : and = in $ALOHA_SETTINGS which enables you to use :not selectors etc.

Bugfix RT57156

Fixed a possible dependency issue that affects files being taken offline when using the contentfile_auto_offline feature.

Bugfix RT57208

When creating page variants using the REST API (or the Gentics Content.Node Javascript API) from pages having very long page names, the REST call returned an error, but created a page with empty filename. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT56910

Previously, publishing or taking offline individually selected pages in an overview would not cause the overview to be updated. Now, the overview is updated correctly.

Bugfix RM12471

A regression within the fileuploader was fixed. A fileupload could fail while updating an exiting file with a new file upload.

Bugfix RT57252

The performance of checking for online/offline files during a publish run (when feature contentfile_auto_offline is used) has been improved.

Bugfix RT57243

Migration feature: In some cases the page status would not be handled correctly. The page status of migrated pages was set to modified instead. This issue only affected migrations that were using at least one post processor.

Gentics Content.Node 5.14.11

Enhancement RT55238

When encountering errors during editing the page, like when the backend server is offline, several technical error messages were displayed to the editor. A single message now replaces these messages. Technical messages are displayed on the console.

Bugfix RT57120

A browser caching issue was fixed. Previously the login/logout action did not enforce the update of all cached javascript files. This issue has now been fixed.

Bugfix RT56663

Channel folders: When creating a new folder inside a local(ized) folder in a channel, it didn‘t inherite the object properties from the mother folder from the channel, but from the master. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT57097

The DB structure of the table nodesetup has been changed so that the table now has a primary key. This should improve the performance of statements against this table and minimize locks when changing the table. Additionally, a dependency from INSERT statements into other tables to the nodesetup table has been removed.

Bugfix

A translation issue was fixed in the tag type creation view.

Bugfix RT57092

When publishing pages into non MCCR contentrepositories using multithreaded publishing, the log entries for writing the pages into the CR showed the contentid of the folder instead of the page. This bug only affected the publish log, but had no other functional consequences and has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT56930

Validation feature: Fixed SGB error The error occured in the tagfill dialog, when using using Frontend-Editing with the “proxyprefix” URL parameter. The proxyprefix was wrongly used for doing internal request to the RestAPI in the validation feature.

Bugfix RT56013

Creating and saving multiple object with the GCN JS API will not result in having the JavaScript objects‘ ids going out of sync.

Bugfix RT56775

Previously, when importing a template with templatetag with a changed construct, pages containing contenttags based on that tag would not be updated to the new tagtype as it would be the case if you changed the template by hand in the backend. Now the behavior is the same in both scenarios.

Gentics Content.Node 5.14.10

Bugfix RT57120

The regression that was introduced through an attempt to fix positioning of context menus in IE with RTL (Right-To-Left) pages has now been removed. The problemantic fix has been reverted. The issue with positioning menus in RTL pages therefore remains.

Bugfix RT57123

When selecting folders for an overview to list pages, images or files in multichannelling environments, in rare cases, the folders were not stored correctly. This has been fixed now.

Gentics Content.Node 5.14.9

This update will make a structural change in the table dependencymap2, that might take longer than usual depending on the size of the table.

Bugfix RT57077

A possible NullPointerException during the publish process has been fixed, that occurred when using the feature contentfile_auto_offline and dependencies of non-existing objects were still found in the dependencymap2 (due to unclean removal of objects).

Bugfix RT57063

The storing of channel specific dependencies of inherited objects has been optimized to reduce the number of entries in the dependencymap2. Additionally, the number of statements necessary to read the dependencies of inherited objects has been reduced. Both optimizations will reduce the size of the dependencymap2 table and will improve the overall publishing performance for systems that have many channels with many inherited objects.

Bugfix RT57034

Using the REST API pages could be saved with an empty string for page name or page filename. This is not possible any longer now.

Gentics Content.Node 5.14.8

Enhancement RT57018

The quickjump box was starting to search for pages right after the first character being typed. This has been increased to a minimum of three characters to lessen database load and provide more meaningful search results.

Bugfix RT56403

Folder images/file/page views: Fixed two problems.

Searching in a folder or applying a filter was slow when there are allot of files, images or pages in the folder. It should now be allot faster.
Fixed bug when changing the “Items per page” value in the settings to a lower value or applying a search filter. Under some circumstances the list only showed empty objects.

Bugfix RT56516

It is now possible to upload files over https on NodeJS with the GCN JS API.

Bugfix RT56602

Previously, pages with links to a newly localized page would not get dirted and therefore would not be updated correctly. Now, these pages will be dirted, too.

Bugfix RT56783

Previously, when multichanneling was used, the languageset.pages meta attribute would not honor the language ordering of the node. Now, the order of page.languageset.pages is the correct sort order.

Gentics Content.Node 5.14.7

Bugfix RT56980

Localized files and images inside a channel were not correctly displayed in their respective list overviews. This issue has now been resolved.

Bugfix RT56879

Taking offline of pages did not work due to a caching problem. The displayed page status did not change and the page would not go offline in the next publish run. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT56477

Previously, a scheduler task could be started twice at the same time under certain conditions. Synchronisation has been added to prevent this from happening.

Bugfix RT56571

Tagtype parts: Fixed performance issue when deleting a part of a tagtype. When the database contains lots of pages, this could take multiple hours. It should take only a few seconds (or less) anymore now.

Bugfix RT56960

Sometimes, the scheduler loses the connection to a publish process it started, although the publish process is still running due to timeout problems. In this cases, the scheduler job is marked as “failed“. When the scheduler tries to start the publish process again, this also failed, because the process was still running. Such cases will be handled differently now: if the scheduler tries to start a publish process and finds the process already running, it will “join“ the publish process, like if it just had been created. Therefore if the scheduler loses the connection to a still running publish process, subsequent job runs will not fail with reason “Publish process already running” any more.

Gentics Content.Node 5.14.6

Manual Change

The database layer has been updated to better estimate the length semantics of varchar/varchar2 columns.

This will enable you to use more of the characters in “Text (short)“ attributes in contentrepositories. If you are using Oracle for content repositories, you must check if your NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS is set to “CHAR“. If so, you must ensure that contentattribute.text_value as well as all optimized “Text (short)“ columns in contentmap also use “CHAR” semantics.

Bugfix RT56765

The title of the icon for pages in status “publish at“ in the page list incorrectly was “not in time frame” and has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT56623

Editables that are nested inside of other editables will now be encoded and saved correctly when editing with the GCN JS API.

Bugfix RT56667

Folder settings: Fixed “Cancel”-button not redirecting back to the last folder view.

Bugfix RT56765

If an online page was scheduled to be republished using the function “publish at”, in special cases it could happen that the page was republished too early. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT56249

The default folder for file and image upload now correctly depends on the user‘s view permissions for the folder.

Gentics Content.Node 5.14.5

Enhancement RT56697

The performance of the tagtype migration was enhanced. A new option was added to the tag type migration in order to skip the dependency calculation and internal event handling.

Enhancement RT56697

It is now possible to change the cache clear behavior. For more information please take a look at the following FAQ

Enhancement RT56682

Updater: There will be a warning printed now, when starting a Gentics Content.Node update when there have been java patches installed.

Bugfix RT55659

Deleting nodes is now no longer possible if tagtypes are linked to no other nodes than the deleted ones. This prevents a data inconsistency, where orphaned tagtypes were invisibly lingering inside tagtype categories. A dialog informs the user which tagtypes are blocking the deletion of the node.

Bugfix RT56683

Fixed an error with the REST API that would not allow to create pages in a channel – the pages were always created in the master.

Bugfix RT56615

When the time management of pages was handled during a multithreaded publish process, the publish process could freeze (never finish). This has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT56765

The time management for pages did not always work as expected. Sometimes, pages were not taken off- or online due to time management at all, sometimes not at the desired time, but some time later. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT56251

When using IE10 to translate pages that modify their DOM, under some circumstances, the upper frame used to shrink sometimes. Now the frame stays correctly sized.

Bugfix RT56403

Folder image/file view: Fixed performance issues with folders that contain more than 1000 images or files. The performance issues were caused by always loading all objects in the folder instead of only the objects for the current pagination view.

Bugfix

Possible missing publish log error messages have been fixed.

Bugfix RT54963

A misleading tooltip that was shown when choosing elements in a selection-tagpart was removed.

Gentics Content.Node 5.14.4

Security RT54513

We recommend that the apache server signature will be hidden. Set the following settings in the /Node/etc/httpd/extra/httpd-default.conf file:

   ServerSignature Off   ServerTokens Prod

A restart of the apache webserver is required in order to enable the settings.

Enhancement RT56615

The internal logging of a publish error has been enhanced.

Enhancement RT56609

Multichannelling contentrepositories have now a new option to choose between differential check for removed objects (which is faster) or the full check (which is saver) on every publish run. The default value is the differential check. Additionally, the number of SQL statements necessary to publish an object into a multichannelling contentrepository has been reduced to improve performance.

Bugfix

Fixed an error when using the feature contentfile_auto_offline is used when publishing into a multichannelling contentrepository.

Bugfix RT56245

Fixed selection of translators in the todo tool.

Bugfix RT56642

The number of SQL Statements for publishing objects into contentrepositories, when using multithreaded publishing has been reduced to increase the overall publish performance.

Bugfix RT56477

Previously, a task scheduled to be executed after another task finishes would sometimes start twice at the same time. Now it will only start once.

Bugfix RT56423

A bug in the tagtype migration post processor handling was fixed. Removed tags will now be deleted. Previously tags that were removed from the restmodel would not be removed.

Bugfix RT56601

Fixed regression in the GCN JS API so that, now, the callback that is passed to the tag.save() method will receive the saved tag as its only argument.

Bugfix RT56642

Accessing the table dependencymap2 has been optimized to avoid synchronization between threads when using multithreaded publishing. This will increase the overall performance of a multithreaded publish process. As a side-effect, the table dependencymap2 is no longer locked during a publish process.

Bugfix RT56498

Moving pages/files/folders: Fixed multiple issues

Files couldn‘t be moved to inherited channel folders
Folders/pages: Folders were selectable, even tho when the user doesn‘t have permission on the folder (However the permission was checked when clicking)
Folders: Moving folders to inherited/localized folders didn‘t work.
After moving an object, the folder changed to the new folder, but the selection in the tree didn‘t update.

Bugfix RT56518

Part type “Url (image)”: Fixed this part not correctly working in the tagfill dialog, when there were multiple parts of this type.

Bugfix RT56251

Previously, in the page translate view, syncing of scrollbars didn‘t work if the lower page contained an iframe and Aloha Editor was not used. Now, syncing works under these conditions, too.

Bugfix RM11868

Previously, an SGB occured when pressing “cancel” in the page create dialog. Now the list of pages appears instead.

Gentics Content.Node 5.14.3

Enhancement RT56423

Various minor enhancements were added to the migration feature.

An additional option was added to the migration feature. It is now possible to disable the export backup.

Page publishing: Fixed Nullpointer exception when publishing a page that contained an objecttag or templatetag with an invalid part type.

Bugfix RT56423

A minor bug was fixed in the new tag type migration enhancement in version 5.14.2. Previously not all pages were added to the set of pages that should be migrated.

Bugfix RT56423

A bug in the tag type migration of pages was fixed. Previously the post processors did not receive the migrated page. Migrations that did not use postprocessors were not affected.

Bugfix RT56480

Calling tag.edit() will no longer result in a 404 error in frontend editing if the GCN Intergration plugin‘s “link“ property is not configured. We now default this property to “backend” so that links are rendered as they would appear when using the GCN Intergration Plugin in Content.Node backend.

Bugfix RT56570

When publishing a node and its channels into content repositories, it could happen, for a localized object, also the master was published into the channel‘s contentrepository. Additionally, too many dependencies were stored for localized objects, which could lead to unnecessary dirting of objects. Both issues have been fixed.

Bugfix RT56438

When translating localized or inherited pages in a channel that already existed in this language, a new copy of the page was created in the channel. This issue has been fixed, the translate call now correctly returns the page that existed before.

Bugfix RT56282

Quickjump: Fixed wrong folder when opening a multichannelling page. When selecting a page in the quickjump autocomplete dropdown and then going from the page into the folder you landed in the master folder instead of the channel folder.

Bugfix RT55753

Fixed problems with permission checks that would keep a user from updating his own email address.

Bugfix RM8723

The word “Folder“ and “Name” in the mini-browser now has the proper internationalization for both German and English.

Gentics Content.Node 5.14.2

Enhancement RT55738

The Content.Repository check and repair action was enhanced. Similar to the CRSync sanitycheck2 and autorepair2 option a check for quick columns will be performed when the check or repair method was invoked.

Enhancement RT56423

An additional option was added to the tag type migration of single pages. This option allows the user to specify whether the defined mapping should be used as a template on a set of pages. The option is documented in detail in the GCN guides.

Bugfix RT56436

The logging of multithreaded publish processes has been improved. Jobs, that are processed in separate threads (like writing data into content repositories), will now also be logged.

Bugfix

If the property gcnLibVersion is not configured for the GCN Intergration Plugin, it will automatically default to “bin“, in order to use the “binary” version of the GCN JS API in production.

Bugfix RT56497

When publishing into an Oracle MCCR, integer attributes of objects were written again, even if they did not change. This produced unnecessary UPDATEs in the DB and has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT56437

Fileuploader: Fixed multiple issues:

The mimetype was editable in the file properties and tagfill dialog, even tho when mimetype editing wasn‘t turned on.
Internet Explorer: Uploading a new file in the tagfill dialog didn‘t work due to a ie bug.
The filename was overwritten when clicking “OK” when it was edited before.

Bugfix

When a file or image was marked for being republished using the maintenance dialog, its binarycontent was not written (again) into the content repository. This could lead to missing binarycontent attributes in the content repository, if e.g. the content repository was newly assigned to the node, and has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT56456

Page editing: Fixed rendering error that occured when editing pages with velocity tags that are not visible (visible when first edited). Those tags were not rendered at all, and the following errors in the browser console were shown: “gcn: Error while rendering part type“ and “No template found”.

Bugfix RT56274

Previously, some kinds of JPEG images that trigger bugs in Java ImageIO could not be uploaded using the REST API, as they were saved as files with content type “application/octet-stream“. These images are now correctly recognized as “image/jpeg”.

Bugfix RT56020-RT56407

This fix makes the “publish at” feature work again.

Bugfix RT56328

When a filesystem attribute is written again with unchanged value, and the data file does not exist, the data file will be recreated. This enables recreation of missing filesystem attribute data files by republishing the objects in the backend.

Bugfix RT56435

When using multithreaded publishing in very long running publish processes (longer than 8 hours) a timeout in the database connection to the backend database could occur, which has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT56429

The GCN Intergration Plugin will properly use the renderBlockContentURL setting, when provided to process rendered tags. This makes it possible to render plink as proper urls for frontend editing.

Bugfix RT56500

When publishing multiple master nodes into the same multichannelling contentrepository, the objects in the contentrepository were checked more than once for deleted objects. This has been fixed now, so that unnecessary checks are avoided.

Bugfix RT56517

When inherited pages were published in channels and the rendered source of the master page was reused, the dependencies of that page were re-written even if they did not change. This was unnecessary and will be avoided now. Dependencies will only be written to the database if they effectively changed.

Gentics Content.Node 5.14.1

Optional Manual Change

Rest API: Removed the template “source” attribute from all Rest API responses except /template/load/.

This has been removed to decrease the size of the response, it was too big and could lead to memory_limit issues in the rest client when there were many elements returned. With /template/load/ you can still get the templates source.

Enhancement RT55795

Previously, whenever you opened the properties dialog of a page, that page stayed locked for the rest of the lock‘s duration unless you performed a “Page Save“ or “Page Cancel“ on that page. Now, if you click on “Cancel” in the properties dialog of a page, the lock is released instantly.

Enhancement RT56054

The REST API getItems performance for folders with many pages was improved.

Bugfix RT54157

There was a bug in the calculation of the set of object properties available to channel root folders. This used to prevent the user from seeing and editing object properties of a channel root folder in the object property editor dialog.

Bugfix RT55401

A scheduler task‘s editor is now updated correctly.

Bugfix RT54176

Objecttag Definitions in export files are now annotated with information on whether “assign to all nodes” has been selected for them. If such an annotated Objecttag Definition is imported, the importer makes sure that the imported object is associated with all nodes if the exported object was associated with all nodes.

Bugfix RT55614

Memory usage and performance of displaying the message inbox have been improved. This prevents memory exhaustion even for very large numbers of messages.

Bugfix RT55968

When creating a new page from the backend the filename now will convert colons to underscore too, as colon is a reserved character by rfc3986#section-2.2

Bugfix RT56260

Object properties that are used or inherited in a page can now properly be disabled. Previously, deactivating an object property did not cause the entry linked to it via the tagmap editor to be properly removed from the Contentrepository.

Bugfix RT56139

Page variants: Fixed bug that caused all variants of a page to be set to the status “Being edited” when opening and saving a overview tag in one page. Now the status of the other variants will not be touched anymore.

Gentics Content.Node 5.14.0

Manual Change

Fileuploader: The node.conf options “alwaysfileuploadfallback“ & “multifileupload” have been removed with the introduction of the new fileuploader.

As the new fileuploader comes with an automatic browser feature detection those settings are now obsolete, you can remove the settings from the node.conf.
Also, the ability to manually select File Upload Manipulator-options on the file upload page has been removed. The decision on how files should be processed is now limited to the FUM itself.

Manual Change

Java 7 Update

Please update the used Java version to Server JRE 1.7.0_25-b15 64 bit. Download the ‘Server JRE‘ package and extract it in e.g. /Node/. Update the /Node/java symlink to point to the new ‘Server JRE‘ directory. Restart the tomcat once you finished this step using the /Node/bin/nodectl script.

Optional Manual Change

MySQL 5.5 / 5.6 Update

It is recommended to update the used MySQL Database Server to MySQL 64 Bit Server version 5.6 or 5.5.
The package MySQL Server update will increase performance and ensure compatibility with feature releases. The update will also remove the 32Bit memory limitation of the old MySQL Server which was included in older package installations.
Please take a look at the updated database migration FAQ and package installation FAQ for more information on how to configure the MySQL Server and set the needed settings. The Gentics Content.Node Compatibility List contains a list of supported MySQL versions.

Feature RM5949

The import/export feature was enhanced. It is now possible to select update files which have been placed into the /Node/node/system/fs_import_bundles. An additional drop down box was added to the import dialog.

Enhancement RT53174

Added a “Localize” option to the context menu of channel folders in the tree view of the left frame of the backend.

Enhancement RT55296

Folder objects returned by the REST API now contain the additional (read only) fields masterId, channelsetId, channelId and isMaster.

Enhancement RT55744

The GCN JS API TagAPI.save() method has now been corrected to rather than just saving the whole page straight away a mockup object is created to save a single tag specifically.

Enhancement RT54655

This release comes with a new fileuploader which replaces the old flash uploader, its fallback and the old PHP legacy fileuploader. It combines the features of all the old fileuploaders with automatic browser feature detection and also has HTML 5 & drag&drop support.
See Gentics Content.Node Fileuploaders for more information.

Enhancement RT56044

Page translation has been improved with multichannelling functionalities. If an inherited or a localized page is translated and the corresponding language variant does not yet exist in the master node, this page is created there and taken offline, linking the versions to each other while basing the translated page‘s content on that of the localized version. This enhancement is applied to all translation actions (direct REST call, Edit in, Translate to, Quick Recursive Translation).

Enhancement RM9880

The common/autoparagraph plugin was added to the list of default plugin. Please take a look at the aloha editor plugin documentation to learn more about the autoparagraph plugin.

Enhancement RT56224

Rest API: Disabled the automatic output indentation of all JSON responses by default for performance reasons. The JSON responses are now ~33% smaller. This feature can now be turned on in the GCN configuration if needed. More info can be found in the documentation.

Enhancement RT55183

Fileupload & GenticsImageStore: CMYK JPG images are now recognized as images by the fileuploader and supported by the GenticsImageStore. The GenticsImageStore will automatically convert CMYK input images to RGB JPEGs when manipulating an image.

Enhancement RT54655

Fileupload Manipulator (FUM): The timeouts and connection retries for the HTTP Client that will be used to call the FUM script are now configurable. See the File Upload Manipulator for more details.

Bugfix RM7588

Folder images/file/page views: Fixed two problems.

Searching in a folder or applying a filter was slow when there are allot of files, images or pages in the folder. It should now be allot faster.
Fixed bug when changing the “Items per page” value in the settings to a lower value or applying a search filter. Under some circumstances the list only showed empty objects.

Bugfix RT56602

Previously, pages with links to a newly localized page would not get dirted and therefore would not be updated correctly. Now, these pages will be dirted, too.

Bugfix RT56783

Previously, when multichanneling was used, the languageset.pages meta attribute would not honor the language ordering of the node. Now, the order of page.languageset.pages is the correct sort order.

Gentics Content.Node 5.13.19

Bugfix RT56980

Localized files and images inside a channel were not correctly displayed in their respective list overviews. This issue has now been resolved.

Bugfix RT56879

Taking offline of pages did not work due to a caching problem. The displayed page status did not change and the page would not go offline in the next publish run. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT56477

Previously, a scheduler task could be started twice at the same time under certain conditions. Synchronisation has been added to prevent this from happening.

Bugfix RT56571

Bugfix RT56960

Gentics Content.Node 5.13.18

Manual Change

The database layer has been updated to better estimate the length semantics of varchar/varchar2 columns.

Bugfix RT56765

The title of the icon for pages in status “publish at“ in the page list incorrectly was “not in time frame” and has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT56623

Editables that are nested inside of other editables will now be encoded and saved correctly when editing with the GCN JS API.

Bugfix RT56667

Folder settings: Fixed “Cancel”-button not redirecting back to the last folder view.

Bugfix RT56765

If an online page was scheduled to be republished using the function “publish at”, in special cases it could happen that the page was republished too early. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT56249

The default folder for file and image upload now correctly depends on the user‘s view permissions for the folder.

Gentics Content.Node 5.13.17

Enhancement RT56697

The performance of the tagtype migration was enhanced. A new option was added to the tag type migration in order to skip the dependency calculation and internal event handling.

Enhancement RT56697

It is now possible to change the cache clear behavior. For more information please take a look at the following FAQ

Enhancement RT56682

Updater: There will be a warning printed now, when starting a Gentics Content.Node update when there have been java patches installed.

Bugfix RT55659

Bugfix RT56615

When the time management of pages was handled during a multithreaded publish process, the publish process could freeze (never finish). This has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT56765

Bugfix RT56251

When using IE10 to translate pages that modify their DOM, under some circumstances, the upper frame used to shrink sometimes. Now the frame stays correctly sized.

Bugfix RT56403

Bugfix

Possible missing publish log error messages have been fixed.

Bugfix RT54963

A misleading tooltip that was shown when choosing elements in a selection-tagpart was removed.

Gentics Content.Node 5.13.16

Manual Change

   ServerSignature Off   ServerTokens Prod

A restart of the apache webserver is required in order to enable the settings.

Enhancement RT56615

The internal logging of a publish error has been enhanced.

Enhancement RT56609

Bugfix RT56245

Fixed selection of translators in the todo tool.

Bugfix RT56642

The number of SQL Statements for publishing objects into contentrepositories, when using multithreaded publishing has been reduced to increase the overall publish performance.

Bugfix RT56477

Previously, a task scheduled to be executed after another task finishes would sometimes start twice at the same time. Now it will only start once.

Bugfix RT56423

A bug in the tagtype migration post processor handling was fixed. Removed tags will now be deleted. Previously tags that were removed from the restmodel would not be removed.

Bugfix RT56642

Bugfix RT56498

Moving pages/files/folders: Fixed multiple issues

Files couldn‘t be moved to inherited channel folders
Folders/pages: Folders were selectable, even tho when the user doesn‘t have permission on the folder (However the permission was checked when clicking)
Folders: Moving folders to inherited/localized folders didn‘t work.
After moving an object, the folder changed to the new folder, but the selection in the tree didn‘t update.

Bugfix RT56518

Part type “Url (image)”: Fixed this part not correctly working in the tagfill dialog, when there were multiple parts of this type.

Bugfix RT56251

Previously, in the page translate view, syncing of scrollbars didn‘t work if the lower page contained an iframe and Aloha Editor was not used. Now, syncing works under these conditions, too.

Bugfix RM11868

Previously, an SGB occured when pressing “cancel” in the page create dialog. Now the list of pages appears instead.

Gentics Content.Node 5.13.15

Enhancement RT56423

Various minor enhancements were added to the migration feature.

An additional option was added to the migration feature. It is now possible to disable the export backup.
The logging and documentation for page migration jobs has been enhanced.
The restAPI cancelMigration call will now be able to abort the migration in additional phases of the migration.

Enhancement RT56111

Scheduler: Updated documentation, documented setting $MAX_SCHEDULE_RUNTIME.

Bugfix RT55802

Page publishing: Fixed Nullpointer exception when publishing a page that contained an objecttag or templatetag with an invalid part type.

Bugfix RT56423

A minor bug was fixed in the new tag type migration enhancement in version 5.14.2. Previously not all pages were added to the set of pages that should be migrated.

Bugfix RT56423

A bug in the tag type migration of pages was fixed. Previously the post processors did not receive the migrated page. Migrations that did not use postprocessors were not affected.

Bugfix RT56480

Bugfix RT56570

Bugfix RT56282

Bugfix RT55753

Fixed problems with permission checks that would keep a user from updating his own email address.

Bugfix RM8723

The word “Folder“ and “Name” in the mini-browser now has the proper internationalization for both German and English.

Gentics Content.Node 5.13.14

Enhancement RT55738

Bugfix RT56436

The logging of multithreaded publish processes has been improved. Jobs, that are processed in separate threads (like writing data into content repositories), will now also be logged.

Bugfix

If the property gcnLibVersion is not configured for the GCN Intergration Plugin, it will automatically default to “bin“, in order to use the “binary” version of the GCN JS API in production.

Bugfix RT56497

When publishing into an Oracle MCCR, integer attributes of objects were written again, even if they did not change. This produced unnecessary UPDATEs in the DB and has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT56456

Bugfix RT56274

Bugfix RT56020-RT56407

This fix makes the “publish at” feature work again.

Bugfix RT56328

Bugfix RT56435

When using multithreaded publishing in very long running publish processes (longer than 8 hours) a timeout in the database connection to the backend database could occur, which has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT56429

The GCN Intergration Plugin will properly use the renderBlockContentURL setting, when provided to process rendered tags. This makes it possible to render plink as proper urls for frontend editing.

Bugfix RT56517

Gentics Content.Node 5.13.13

Optional Manual Change

Rest API: Removed the template “source” attribute from all Rest API responses except /template/load/.

Enhancement RT55795

Enhancement RT56054

The REST API getItems performance for folders with many pages was improved.

Bugfix RT54157

Bugfix RT55401

A scheduler task‘s editor is now updated correctly.

Bugfix RT54176

Bugfix RT55614

Memory usage and performance of displaying the message inbox have been improved. This prevents memory exhaustion even for very large numbers of messages.

Bugfix RT55968

When creating a new page from the backend the filename now will convert colons to underscore too, as colon is a reserved character by rfc3986#section-2.2

Bugfix RT56260

Bugfix RT56139

Gentics Content.Node 5.13.12

Bugfix

In some cases the page status was not handled correctly. This caused the publish process to ignore some pages. This defect first appeared in 5.12.27 / 5.13.11. This issue was now resolved.

Gentics Content.Node 5.13.11

Manual Change

It is now possible to deactivate tags using the GCN JS API. Newly created tags

will be automatically activated, but before the page is saved, that tag can be deactivated.
Because the GCN JS API will no longer automatically activate all tags in a page that is saved after editing, this change may require some implementations to be modified to manually activate in-active tags. A manual change will be necessary for example, if your implementation renders a page‘s inactive object tags in view mode via the GCN JS API. In this case, it will be necessary to first activate the tag using tag.prop('active', true).

Enhancement RT56261

It is now possible to use the ModelBuilderApiHelper class to render REST Models. This is useful if you want to render a page within a Tag Type Migration Post processor.

Enhancement RT56054

The REST API getItems performance for folders with many pages was improved.

Enhancement RT55246

Improved and extended list of supported and discontinued features in the guides.

Bugfix

A issue within the sanitycheck2 was fixed. Previously an alter column statement for MSSQL only failed due to an syntax error. This is issue is now resolved.

Bugfix

Bugfix RT56138

Import: Fixed setting permissions when important content repositories. When the import was started with a different group, it did not get permissions on the new content repository. The chosen group and all parent groups will now get permission on the content repository when doing imports.

Bugfix RT55948

Fixed export selection in multichanneling environments. Previously, if you added a folder that has been created in a channel in the channel where it was created, its contained elements would not be automatically selected as dependencies.

Bugfix RT56098

A performance issue has been fixed that slowed down the listing of files/images in folders with a big number of files/images.

Bugfix RT55141

Fixed GCNs internal sorting function not respecting whitespace in strings like MySQLs sorting does. This caused the repository browsers to sort entries (nodes, folders) with whitespaces in the name differently than the main GCN node tree did.

Bugfix RT56127

Create page: Fixed error that ocurred when no filename was given and there was another file in the same publish path with an empty filename. Also fixed broken i18n translation for this error messages.

Bugfix RT56138

Import: Fixed permission bug when importing content repositories. The group used for importing never got the “Assign user permissions”-permission flag. Therefore users were never able to grant permissions for imported content repositories to other groups.

Bugfix RT56174

Fixed the assignment of constructs to nodes during the import.

Bugfix RT56181

When a contentrepository contained a tagmap entry of type “[7] Foreign Link“ that had a non-empty tagname set, this could lead to objects being removed from the contentrepository, although they should not be removed. This behaviour has been fixed now. Please note however, that having a tagname set for a tagmap entry of type “[7] Foreign Link“ is wrong, because such an attribute will not be rendered in the backend. Therefore it is stronly recommended to leave the tagname of tagmap entries of type “[7] Foreign Link” empty!

Gentics Content.Node 5.13.10

Enhancement RT55978

When a page that has no language set shall be translated or modified in a specific language, the user will now be informed that he has to set the page language first. This will reduce the chance of users unexpectedly overwriting the page‘s content with another language.

Bugfix RT55458

LDAP Login: Fixed the LDAP Advanced Groups feature not working, when the LDAP server (ie.: Microsoft Active Directory) doesn‘t have objectclass=groupofUniqueNames & “uniquemember“ enabled. In this case please enable the following feature in your node.conf:
$LDAP_LOGIN_FIELDS[“dontuse_uniquememberattribute”] = true;

Bugfix RT55756

If an online page is moved to a different folder and taken offline, it is now possible to create a new page having the same filename. With this fix, it is possible to subsitute an online page with a new page having the same filename, even if a wastebin workflow moves the old page away and takes it offline instead of deleting it.

Bugfix RT56107

Fixed possible NPE when running a multithreaded publish process, where pages needed to be published, because they were scheduled with the “publish at” action.

Bugfix RM11269

Setting references to other objects during an import has been fixed. Before this fix, objects were possibly overwritten (even if they should not have been changed) and references could be lost during an import.

Bugfix RT55676

Fixed too strict security check when linking workflows to folders. Before this fix, linking workflows to folders was only possibly, when the user had the permission to manage the workflows, now the permission to link workflows is sufficient.

Bugfix RT50562

The top menu was incorrectly positioned in the translate page view. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT55458

LDAP Login: Fixed LDAP login being case sensitive when using advanced groups and fixed SGB occuring when a LDAP group couldn‘t be found in GCN.

Bugfix RT50562

Synchronizing the scrollbars in the translate page view did not work anymore and has been fixed.

Bugfix RT55946

When uploading images using the REST API, some temporary files named imageio*.tmp were created and left open until the garbage collector would remove them. This could lead to a “Too many open files” error. This has been fixed now, those temporary files are now removed as soon as they are no longer needed.

Gentics Content.Node 5.13.9

Enhancement RT55980

The javascript error logging for the tagtype migration and template migration has been enhanced.

Bugfix RT55983

Various issues within the template migration / tagtype migration were fixed.

In some cases the log contained duplicate entries for migrated objects
The template migration did not update the status of migrated objects correctly. This resulted in log entries that indicated that the migration was still running although the migration was finished.
The status of currently active migrations was not shown within the ui. It is now no longer possible to invoke a migration when another one is currently being processed. Previously it was possible to invoke another migration job. This job would be queued and executed after the currently active job.
In some cases a generic error message was repeatedly shown when using chrome.
An additional status code was added. It is now possible to distinguish between jobs that completed and jobs that completed with warnings. A job may complete with warnings when some objects could not be locked or found.

Bugfix RT56028

The documentation about filesystem attributes has been extended to contain information about handling filesystem attributes in CRSync.

Bugfix RT55933

Fixed a bug that prevented starting due scheduler jobs because of a database inconsistency.

Bugfix RT56053

When offline pages are imported, sometimes the pages are left in status “being edited“ instead of “offline” on the target system. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT54768

Under some circumstances, page-editable template tags were previously not correctly inherited when using multichanneling. Now a page created in a channel always inherits from the relevant channel version of the template. Fixed in backend as well as in REST page/create.

Bugfix RT55898

Fixed Permission Error when editing a page in a channel without permission to see the master node.

Bugfix RT56056

Saving complex dependencies between objects sometimes failed due to insufficient space in a database column, subsequently causing failure to the publish process. This column was adjusted accordingly. Also, publish log entries were improved for removing objects from contentrepositories without multichannelling functionality.

Bugfix RT55989

Publish runs that remove many objects from a content repository at once can lead to idle database connections, which in certain circumstances could be closed during this interval. The connections are now kept alive with the algorithm and configurable variable described in Bugfix RT47489.

Gentics Content.Node 5.13.8

Enhancement RT55694

Various Oracle MySQL 5.6.12 compatibilty issues were resolved. For more information please check the compatibility list

Bugfix RT55959

Localizing a channel was erroneously bound to the “delete folder“ permission in the backend ui. Now the “create folder” permission is checked.

Bugfix RT55875

A feature “always_allow_page_create_variant” has been added to allow for backwards compatiblity for installations that rely on the user‘s ability to create a page variant without edit permissions, a bug that has been fixed in RT54981 (5.12.18 and 5.13.5)

Bugfix RT56021

Aloha Editor – gcnfileupload plugin: Fixed the text color in the modal dialog being inherated from the page.

Bugfix RT55793

A bug has been fixed that prevented GCNJSAPI from editing tags in frontend mode. Also, the documentation has been updated to clarify the scope of usefulness of $cms.rendermode.frontend and $cms.rendermode.backend

Bugfix RT55962

Before making an editable part “not editable”, the user will now be informed that all existing values for that part will be lost.

Bugfix RT55856

In order to avoid massively overblown log files, certain non-critical warnings concerning objects that have previously been deleted are no longer included in the publishing log.

Bugfix RT55941

Fixed possible publish error for very long running publish processes when multithreaded publishing is used.

Gentics Content.Node 5.13.7

Bugfix RT55744

Chaining calls onto the edit() function will now results in the chained functions being queued and processed in the correct order in which they are called. Therefore `javascript tag.edit(onEdit).save(onSave)` will now correctly invoke onEdit() first before calling onSave().

Bugfix RT55854

Fixed possible multithreading problem when publishing pages into multichannelling content repository using multithreaded publishing.

Bugfix RT55744

Saving multiple tags with recursive callbacks, passed throw tag.save(), will no longer result in only the first tag‘s changes being sent to the backend.

Bugfix RT55390

Restoring certain forms (eg. folder or file properties) could lead to an SGB error due to an invalid attempt to recreate the form from the session. If data is missing now to re-create a form a new form will be generated.

Bugfix

Error messages emitted when calling unimplemented methods of the GCN JS API Node objects will now have their arguments passed in the correct order.

Bugfix RT55706

Previously, if you didn‘t define a “macros“ part (or “template“ part) for a velocity part rendered by another velocity part, the “macros“ part (or “template“ part) of the “outer“ velocity part would be incorrectly inherited to the “inner“ velocity part for the duration of rendering. Now, the velocity part only looks at the current tag when it is searching for a “macros“ part (or a “template” part).

Bugfix RT55393

Fix possible SGB when pressing F5 in the browser while having the user form open.

Mandatory tags: Fixed small typo in the error message when publishing a page.

Gentics Content.Node 5.13.5

Manual Change

A typo in the tag type migration post processor option name was fixed.

It was renamed from TAGTYPEMIGRATION_POSTPROCESSTORS to TAGTYPEMIGRATION_POSTPROCESSORS

Bugfix RT52250

The table columns that will hold the check result of contentrepository have been increased to hold up to 4GB of data each.

Bugfix RT55388

Fixed possible database lock during a publish run that could cause an error while deleting a file.

Bugfix RT55307

When a file was to be published, and then deleted during the publish process, a failed constraint caused the publish run to fail. This issue was fixed, and the described situation no longer causes a publisher failure.

Bugfix RT55240

The REST API will now return an error when a folder create request publishdir field value contains more than 255 characters. Previously a generic database error would be returned.

Bugfix RT55503

When a user tries to publish a page that misses some mandatory tags, a message will now be shown, telling that the page could not be published.

Bugfix RT55716

A performance issue within the REST API folder/getPages method was resolved. It is now possible to add contenttags and objecttags references using the contenttags and objecttags query parameter. Previously all contenttags and objecttags for the pages were returned. Additionally the referenced template also included all objecttags and templatetags. This issue affected 5.13.0 and newer versions.

Bugfix RT55188

The visual appearance of the log table header row has been changed. Previously each row header was clickable in order to sort the elements. The sorting of logs is not supported. The log column have been updated in order to visualize this limitation.

Bugfix

When a file is renamed using the backend, and the entered new filename contains illegal characters, there will be no warning any more, but the illegal characters will be replaced in the same way as when uploading a new file.

Bugfix RT55680

Fix bug that prevented publishing of pages that were dirted using the maintenance dialog when versioned publishing was disabled.

Bugfix RT55600

Due to changes in permission handling, users without user administration rights were not able to access several dialogs concerning their personal user settings. After this fix, access to these settings now again depends on their correctly associated permissions only.

Bugfix RT54936

Fixed possible error in the publish process due to a lock on the table node (e.g. caused by an import process running at the same time).

Bugfix RT55485

Fix creation of user without a group due to not running (or not reachable) internal Tomcat. Additionally prohibit login with a user that is not member of a single group.

Bugfix RT55642

Various issues in the Tag Type / Template Migration feature were fixed.

The documentation was improved.
The java doc of the api classes was enhanced.
An issue was resolved that caused empty logfiles for migration job logs.
When the migration feature was not licensed an appropriate message will be displayed.

Bugfix RT55269

When a node is detached from a ContentRepository, the node data will be removed from the ContentRepository at the start of the next publish run instead of a separate maintenance task. Removing the data is done more efficient now and will be done in single transactions per object, if the ContentRepository is configured to use instant publishing.

Bugfix RT55500

Fixed filename verification regular expression. It is now possible to include the following characters in filenames. a-z A-Z 0-9 _ , . - ( ) [ ] { } $ Previously it was not possible to rename files to include those characters. The file uploader already accepted those characters within a uploaded file.

Bugfix RT55618

Fixed the display of pages to be published/delayed on the start screen to not include pages in nodes, that have updating the filesystem/ContentRepository disabled. Additionally, the nodes that have updating the filesystem/ContentRepository disabled will be marked in the maintenance dialog.

Bugfix RT55269

Improved performance and added logging for dirt migration task (the task, that is done once after updating from Gentics Content.Node versions <= 5.12).

Bugfix RT54981

A user will now need edit permission on a page in order to create a page variant of it.

Gentics Content.Node 5.13.4

Manual Change

Validation feature: Fixed special characters like umlauts in strings (eg.: filenames when uploading files), causing the strict AntiSamy validation to fail.

AntiSamy is now updated to version 1.5.2, which introduces a new setting “entityEncodeIntlChars” that can disable the encoding of special characters.
If you are using validation and have a antisamy.custom.xml file (probably in /Node/etc/), you have to add the following setting to it in order to fix the strict validation:

Bugfix RT54941

A race condition producing exceptions on concurrent database accesses (e.g. multithreaded page create REST calls) has been fixed.

Bugfix RT55324

Overview: Fixed pages that were marked for publishing and then delayed in the “Maintenance”, not showing up in overview listings when publishing the page again. The delay_publish value was not cleared when the page was published.

Bugfix RT55242

Folder property dialog now disables the form fields and removes the OK button if you are not allowed to change the folder properties.

Bugfix RT55475

This fix improves visibility constraints for the tagmap editor if the user does not have permission to access it by removing it from the menus of the contentrepository, thus avoiding permission exceptions.

Bugfix RT55496

Fix possible not threadsafe usage of the database driver when using multithreaded publishing to write into several ContentRepositories during very long publish runs.

Bugfix RT54936

Long running imports caused some unnecessary locks in the DB, which caused problems while changing objects (pages, folders, ...), even if those objects were not touched by the import. Those unnecessary locks will be avoided now, so that modification of unrelated objects or creation of new objects will be possible now. It is however still the case that objects, which were modified by the import will be locked by the database until the import process finishes.

Bugfix RT55328

When the data should be checked or repaired in a content repository and this caused an Exception (e.g. due to connection problems, an invalid URL, locking issues, ...), the task to do the checking/repairing remained in the dirtqueue until the problem was resolved. This blocked all subsequent dirtqueue entries, including the publish process. This behaviour has been fixed now, Exceptions thrown during the checking/repairing process will now be logged as result of the action (visible in the UI for the content repository) and the dirtqueue entry will be removed.

Bugfix RT55217

Feature Live URLs: Fixed liveurl icon not being displayed in the page list sometimes.

Bugfix RT55239

Creating files in the REST API where the number suffix (name_number.extension) in the given filename exceeded maximum integer limits previously caused an exception. The algorithm calculating filename suggestions for existing filenames has been improved to avoid these issues in the future.

Bugfix RT54461

The behavior of instant publishing was changed to disable immediate removal of deleted objects in ContentRepositories when deleting multiple objects at a time.

Bugfix RT55313

New object tags are now correctly prefilled with the default values of the underlying tagtype in the tag fill form.

Bugfix RT55451

Import/Export: Fixed the automatic export download system (via URL) not working anymore because the export system denies the connection.

Bugfix RT55394

Fixed saving pages not working when the magiclink tagtype “gtxalohapagelink“ was not linked to the node where the page is in. When clicking “Save” in the menu it appearently didn‘t do anything.

Bugfix RT55299

When listing the templates included in an export, the used SQL statement was very inperformant and could take a very long time. This has been fixed now, display of templates is much faster now.

Gentics Content.Node 5.13.3

Security RT54512

When authenticating via REST API, Session secret cookies are now sent with the HttpOnly flag set.

Security RT54512

If your setup only allows for HTTPS access to your backend and REST-API, you can enable the Secure flag in session cookies by activating the “secure_cookie” feature.

Enhancement

It is now possible to resolve the stag prefix (‘/.Node/‘) and the proxy prefix within the custom form tag part using the following tags:

proxyprefix
stagprefix

Bugfix RT55346

Improved the error handling for unchecked exceptions, that might be thrown while publishing into a content repository.

Bugfix RT55312

Aloha.GCN.openTagFill() would result in an error when trying to open it to edit object tags, this behavior is now fixed.

Bugfix RT55346

When trying to save text values with more than 255 characters into a text (short) attribute of an MCCR datasource, the value will now be truncated (and a warning will be logged). Before this fix, publishing too long values into a database, that does not automatically truncate (like Oracle) failed with an SQLException.

Bugfix RT55158

It is now possible to save changes to a content object‘s cdate via the GCN JS API

Bugfix RT55143

When a language variant of a page was synchronized with another language variant, and that other language variant was deleted afterwards, getting the page with its translation status using the REST API caused a NullPointerException. This has been fixed now.

Gentics Content.Node 5.13.2

Bugfix RT55211

Aloha Editor ~~GCN linkbrowser plugin: Fixed href not being updated after selecting a page/file from the link browser. Now the href will be set to a # when a GCN page or file is selected. This also fixes the link~~plugin targetRegex setting not correctly working.

Bugfix RT55299

When starting a multithreaded publish run, all tables were locked while connections were started, in order to get a 100% consistent state among those connections. When some other SQL Statement was already running at the same time, this could lead to DB locks, and could subsequently freeze the whole CMS. Therefore the tables will no longer be locked while starting the connections for a multithreaded publish run.

Bugfix RT54731

Fixed a minor bug that sometimes caused flag icons not to be shown for start pages set in a folder.

Bugfix RT53746

Links tags will have their anchor text cleaned before saving. This will ensure that wai-lang attributes will be cleaned up from GCN magic link tag anchor text before they are saved.

Bugfix RT55260

When using instant publishing, this possibly caused DB deadlocks while accessing the ContentRepository DB during a publish process. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT55065

When exporting, export warnings were generated for excluded objects. This is fixed now, export warnings are generated only for non-excluded object types.

Bugfix RT55127

Fixed possible DB locks during a publish process that caused problems when editing pages. This also fixes possible errors at the start of a publish process (because a lock could not be acquired).

Bugfix RT55134

When using the Gentics Content.Node Javascript API and node.js to upload a File into a Channel, the File was uploaded into the Master Node instead. This has been fixed now, uploading files into channels is now possible using node.js.

Bugfix RT55143

When getting pages from a folder via the REST API with the inSync parameter set, an exception was thrown if pages were synchronized with another page that could no longer be found on the system (i.e. was deleted).

Bugfix RT53937

Dependent pages were previously not dirted when a tag type was overwritten by an import. The new behaviour is to dirt all dependent pages whenever a tag type is changed.

Gentics Content.Node 5.13.1

Enhancement

The template and tagtype migration feature was added to Gentics Content.Node. This feature allow the node administrator to migrate pages using a predefined mapping. More information about the feature can be found within the guides.

Enhancement RT54240

We no longer load all constructs that are available across en entire system when editing a page with Aloha Editor becuase this can result in large payloads that slow down page load times. We now only load constructs that are either in the same node as the page being edited, or are used by tags in that page.

Enhancement RM2239

The internal dirting mechanism has been changed. The new mechanism offers the following advantages:

It is now possible to dirt inherited objects for specific channels only. The old mechanism could only dirt the objects as a whole, so that the object would be re published for channels, which inherit it.
It is now possible to dirt online pages, even if they are currently edited (have status 0).
Dirting of objects of all types (pages, images, files, olders) now works the same way.
During the publish run, it is no longer necessary to access the (ever growing) logcmd table, which improves the performance.
The new mechanism is less prone to problems with changes that happen during a publish run.

After the update, the system will have one additional maintenance task scheduled (that will be performed before the next publish run). This maintenance task will migrate the currently dirted objects to the new mechanism.
Additionally, the maintenance dialog has been improved:

It will now also show the number of currently dirted files and folders (per node/channel).
It will show the number of currently dirted objects also per channel and it is possible to use any of the maintenance tools for objects of a channel.
The controls have been slightly improved to show more compact information.

See Content Maintenance for more information about the maintenance tools.

Enhancement

The list of nodes in the backend will now show with icons, which nodes have publishing disabled, which nodes will be published into the filesystem and which nodes will be published into a content repository.

Enhancement RM8177

It is now possible to create multichanneling Content.Repositories. See Multichannelling aware content repository for more information about this feature and on information about configuration and further settings.

Enhancement RM6440

Added support for configurable RequestDecorators to intercept and modify requests to the GenticsImageStore.

Bugfix

The internal storage of objects, that can be localized (using multichannelling) has been modified. Before this fix, objects (pages, folders, templates, files and images) were initially created with channelset_id = 0. When the objects were localized, a new channelset_id was assigned. This caused some additional overhead in handling channelset_ids and could cause some problems. Therefore, when objects are created, they will immediately get a non-zero channelset_id. Also this update will change all existing objects to have a non-zero channelset_id.

Gentics Content.Node 5.12.28

Fixed instant publishing of folders when the folder startpage was set the first time using the page context menu. Before this fix, instant publishing of the folder was only triggered when the startpage was set using the object properties dialog, or when the startpage was changed.

Bugfix RT53854

Editing pages: Fixed the error “GCN ERROR (AJAX_ERROR)” sometimes occuring when doing another action after a previous one too fast (eg.: Editing a page and then immediately publishing it).

Bugfix RT54602

Old values in tags which already existed on the target system, but have been changed since, were not removed properly during import, resulting in duplicate entries. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT54717

The src url of the preview image in Image Editing Tool will no longer be a broken url when cropping or resizing the image in front-end editing through a proxy. The proxy prefix will now be prepended to the preview image‘s url.

Bugfix RT54157

When creating a new channel, the root folder will now get its object properties set identical to the object properties of the immediate parent node.

Bugfix RT51839

Folders that were fetched using the GCN JS API‘s FolderAPI.folders() method will now have their tags available when they are needed.

Bugfix RT54491

When using quick recursive translation to create language variants, an issue in caching caused newly created pages not to be displayed in the page list. This has been fixed.

Bugfix RT54821

Fixed possible SGB when creating new folders.

Bugfix RT54157

The root folder of a channel was missing the object properties, that are assigned to the master node. Only the object properties that are available to all nodes were possible to use. This has been fixed now. The root folder of a channel will now have the same object properties available as any other folder of the channel (and the master node).

Bugfix RT54853

On pages where the dir=“rtl” attribute is specified for languages that read from right to left, the GCN menu wasn‘t displayed correctly sometimes if the menu entry contained special characters. This is now fixed.

Bugfix RT54794

Reduced the memory consumption when deleting big folder structures to avoid possible OutOfMemory situations e.g. when deleting nodes that contain many folders.

Gentics Content.Node 5.12.11

Bugfix RT52737

Pagination was added for content tags and template tags when using the repository browser. It is now possible to navigate through and choose from multiple pages of tags in a tag fill.

Bugfix RT53076

When a page with page variants is published, the page variants also get new page versions created. Due to a caching error, it sometimes happened, that although a new version was created for the page variants, the next publish process rendered the older version of the page variant. This has been fixed now, so that when a page variants gets a new version created, the cache will always be cleared and that new version will always be published during the next publish run.

Bugfix RT54411

When a user or a group was deleted in Gentics Content.Node, it was not deleted in the todo tool during synchronization. Also, deleting a group did not trigger synchronization at all. Both issues have been fixed.

Bugfix RT50917

The object lists for localizable objects (folders, pages, templates, files and images) in channels have a column Master that should show the name of the node, to which the master object belongs to. This column however showed the name of the node, the displayed object belongs to, which made channel-local and localized objects indistinguishable. This has been fixed now, the Master column will now show the current channel for channel-local objects and the name of the node/channel, where the master object belongs to for localized objects.

Bugfix RT50917

Several issues in the export selection dialog have been fixed:

When exporting objects from channels, the node name of the master object of localized or local objects will now be shown.
In some circumstances, images or files were shown multiple times in the list of exported objects. This has been fixed now.
Objects shown in the list of exportable objects will now also be sorted by name, if they are sorted by another attribute (e.g. when they are sorted by type).

Bugfix RT54298

Internet Explorer 8, in “Browser Mode: IE8“ / “Document Mode:IE7-Standards”, will no longer warn that a script is taking a long time to complete when initializing an page that contains many tags.

Gentics Content.Node 5.12.10

Manual Change

The implementation of the Aloha Editor Page Link Tagtype in the guides contained an error. This erroneous implementation caused multiple problems when editing pages containing links, among them the inability to remove the links. It is strongly recommended to update the implementation for the Aloha Editor Page Link tagtype according to the updated guides example.

Bugfix RT54696

Fixed handling exclusion/inclusion of templates in the new export. When a folder is exported that contains a template and templates are generally excluded, but the template is included, the template was show as being exported, but was marked as excluded in the export file. This has been fixed now, when an object is marked as included, it will always really be included in the export.

Bugfix RT54723

Fixed a bug tied to menu permissions which caused a system error when viewing the languages of a node.

Bugfix RT54424

Fixed reloading the tree, when a new folder is created.

Bugfix RT54661

Multithreading: Fixed a rare issue in which concurrent access to a translation table could cause publish workers to get stuck.

Bugfix RT54264

When creating, saving or publishing pages using the REST API using multiple threads or clients, a database deadlock could occur while creating page versions. When this happened, some of the REST API requests failed and the changes made by them were rolled back. This deadlock situations have been fixed now, so it is now possible to create, save and publish pages in a multithreaded manner without any database deadlock problems.

Bugfix RT54489

Fixed problems when using instant publishing and multichannelling: When objects were localized, the localized copies were instantly written into the content repository, but the former inherited object was not instantly removed. When localized copies were deleted, they were also instantly removed from the content repository, but the inherited object was not instantly written into the content repository. The behaviour has been fixed now, so that always either the localized copy or the inherited object is present in the content repository (exclusively).

Bugfix RT54220

File upload: Fixed the button in the fallback file uploader (JS-uploader) not being clickable in IE 7 and IE 8.

Bugfix RT54614

This change fixes a JS error that sometimes occurred when replacing tags via Javascript in Internet Explorer 8, caused by missing HTML closing tags.

Bugfix RT54653

Fixed i18n translation not working when GCN throws a SGB error.

Bugfix RT54628

Page languages: Fixed setting the language of a page using “Set page language“ added a language code to the filename, even when the feature “contentgroup3_pagefilename” was set to false.

Bugfix RT54526

When exporting a folder that contains a template, which is never used and templates were generally excluded, the template cause an unresolvable conflict on the target system, if it did not exist there. This is not necessary, since the template would only have been exported, because it is assigned to the exported folder, and not because it is used by a page. The behaviour of exlusion has been modified now: Excluded objects will only create unresolvable conflicts, if they are really used by objects and not only assigned to folders or nodes.

Bugfix RT54671

GCN JS API Frontend editing: Fixed javascript error when frontend editing is done without loading a page.

Bugfix RT54591

Export: Fixed SGB error occuring when selecting a object type in the Administration/Content.Admin and no objects of this type have been selected. Also fixed SGB occuring when viewing files in the administration, independent of if files have been selected or not.

Bugfix RT54220

File upload: Fixed the file uploader not working when the flash version was too old. It now always correctly falls back to the Javascript uploader in this case.

Bugfix RT54684

Fixed possible DB locks during a publish process, when instant publishing and the feature contentfile_auto_offline were used together.

Bugfix RT50986

When using the old minibrowser (that is still used when the feature multichannelling is not turned on) in the tag fill dialog, when doing a search, any modified entries in the form fields were lost. This has been fixed now, using the search in the minibrowser will preserve any changes in the form fields now.

Bugfix RT54671

GCN JS API Frontend editing: Fixed “callback is undefined” javascript error.

Gentics Content.Node 5.12.9

Bugfix RT53236

Multichannelling: Fixed multiple bugs when linking templates from channels to other folders. Fixed the template link function allowing linking templates to folders that shouldn‘t be linkable. Now it‘s not possible anymore to link templates to localized folders. In channels, templates can only be linked to local folders or folders of the master node. It‘s also not possible anymore to link local templates from channels to other nodes. Also fixed that linking localized templates to other node folders didn‘t work correctly. Now it correctly links the master template, and not the localized template. More information on the multichannelling feature can be found in the GCN guides.

Bugfix RT53095

Publishing of page variants together (with a single request) did not work and always resulted in an error message due to a database lock. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT54540

Fixed a bug that caused incorrect rendering of static URLs in projects, that publish only into a content repository, but not into the filesystem.

Bugfix RT54423

Page time management: Fixed SGB occuring when setting a date with a year above 2037. The highest year setable in GCN is 2037.

Bugfix RT54493

Fixed a possible NullPointerException during the publish run due to a rare threading problem.

Bugfix RT54580

Export: Added back missing images to the left assistent sidebar

Bugfix RT54017

With this fix there is no longer an error if a folder object property is applied to subfolders where duplicate properties exist. Instead, the inconsistency is cleaned up at this point.

Bugfix RT54074

SQL cursors were sometimes not closed properly after an exception in the database has occurred. This has been fixed now.

Gentics Content.Node 5.12.8

Bugfix RT54424

Fixed a bug that that caused the create folder dialog to be redisplayed after creating a new folder (instead of returning to the page list of the parent folder).

Bugfix RT54273

Because of an issue in the GCN JS API, it was sometimes not possible to insert Javascript into a tag in live editing mode when using Firefox. This fix corrects this behaviour.

Bugfix RT52367

Pages preview: Fixed broken menu when following a content link to another page in GCN. The menu now also works when going to a new page. Also going from this new page to the folder view works now correctly.

Bugfix RT54499

Mandatory tags: Fixed possible error occuring when publishing a page with a mandatory tag that has a missing value. Also fixed that tags appears multiple times in the error message.

Bugfix RT50850

When pages were moved between nodes, in some scenarios the page was not removed from the published filesystem of the source node. This has been fixed now. When pages are moved out of a node, that publishes into the filesystem, the page will no longer be written into the filesystem for that node.

Bugfix RT54320

If an import references an object (like a URL or an image) that does not exist on the target system, this reference no longer points to another target on the system, but is set to be empty until the referred object is added.

Bugfix RT54386

GCN JS API: Fixed the page property object “timeManagement” not being writeable. It is now writable, see the GCN JS API page documentation.

Bugfix RT53896

File Upload Manipulator: Fixed the timeouts for accessing the FUM-URL being too short. Before the fix, accessing the FUM sometimes resulted in a socket-timeout. The timeout for establishing the connection has now been set to 5000ms and the timeout for reading the FUM response has been set to 15000ms. Additionally, the exception-logging on FUM errors has been improved.

Gentics Content.Node 5.12.7

Enhancement RT54143

A performance issue with the overview part type was resolved. In some cases the part type would render multiple times slower than expected.

Bugfix RT54164

Removed a permissions check when using the ‘show usage‘ function since users are only shown results for objects they have permission to view anyway. This resolves an error that caused an SGB to be shown when results for the ‘show usage‘ search contained entries in folders the user did not have permission to view.

Bugfix

Fixed closing database connections at the end of a multithreaded publish run. Under special circumstances, it could happen, that some database connections were left open for too long, which possibly could lead to too many open database connections.

Bugfix RT53383

Fixed an incorrect title in the todo tool.

Bugfix RT54240

Added missing guides documentation for appendBlock() Gentics Aloha Content.Node Intergration Plugin API method.

Bugfix RT51491

Saving a page will now automatically strip all tags from it‘s name, e.g. ”Very important page“ will be changed to “Very important page” when saving.

Bugfix RT54258

Opening the tree to show a specific folder (e.g. because the preview of a page in a different than the current folder was shown) was done inefficiently and could take a long time. In extreme cases, this could lead to a blank frame shown instead of the tree. The performance of opening the tree has been improved now, so that blank frames should not happen any longer.

Bugfix RT54304

After confirming the folder properties dialog the correct folder will be highlighted in the tree when using Multichannelling.

Bugfix RT54269

An issue with navigation via history and quickjump was solved which caused node-information not to be passed. Sometimes this led to wrong tag-types being available when editing pages.

Bugfix RT54332

Added indexes on the folder table to increase performance for multichannelling-enabled systems when looking up tree permissions.

Gentics Content.Node 5.12.6

Bugfix RT54334

Fixed possible data inconsistencies with scheduler tasks.

Fixed removing objects that were deleted in the backend from the content repository. When an object is removed during a publish run and the content repository has instant publishing enabled, it could happen, that the object would not be removed from the content repository in the following publish run.

Gentics Content.Node 5.12.4

Bugfix RT50864

Fixed an inconsistency that occurred when creating and editing templates. When adding template tags, a check is now performed to ensure that the tag type being used is also linked with the template‘s node. Previously all template tags were automatically linked with a default construct, which on some systems had been deleted. This led to errors while exporting to other systems since the template had a dependency that could not be resolved if the default tag type was no longer available.

Bugfix RT54173

A bug was fixed that caused errors when editing image-URLs in tagtypes, if no node was previously selected.

Bugfix RT53984

The gcn-plugin will now also insert leading and following paragraphs for Contenttags with an inline element (e.g. span) as it‘s root tag, to enable editors to add contents before or after this tag.

Bugfix

Fixed JavaScript error “Cannot read property ‘tagname‘ of undefined gcnjsapi.js:5905” that occured when saving a page after creating a new link.

Bugfix RT54207

Previously, if the user selected a language and then changed to a node in which this language was not activated, newly created pages would wrongly be created with this locale. After this fix, the first active language of the node is used instead.

Gentics Content.Node 5.12.3

Bugfix RT54125

Added an automatic reset of old (and no longer necessary) FTP node settings that have been leftover from older systems (those that have been updated from a version prior to Gentics Content.Node 5.4.0).

Bugfix RT54117

Fixed a problem with paging when skipping to the last page of a list of items that would cause a list of empty items to be displayed.

Bugfix RT54130

Fixed possible DB Lock Timeout when using instant publishing and an object was published during a long running publish process.

Bugfix RT53835

GCN JS API, TagAPI.removeTag(): Fixed the callbacks not getting called correctly. Also fixed the documentation. You can only pass the keyword of a tag in here, not an Id.

Gentics Content.Node 5.12.2

Bugfix RT53943

Node list: Fixed the creator and the last editor of a node not being shown in the black tooltip.

Bugfix

Enhancement RM6727

It is now possible to flag template tags as “mandatory” and thereby force editors to fill all their required parts before the page in which they are in can be published.

Enhancement RM5973

Added a MessageAPI interface to the GCN JS API. This interface contains the following new methods: MessageAPI.send(), MessageAPI.list(), MessageAPI.read()
More information about this new interface can be found in the Gentics Content.Node Guides

Enhancement RM4207

The new feature contentfileauto_offline_ allows to configure nodes, for which images and files, that are not used by other objects (pages, folders) will not be published into the filesystem or contentrepository.

Enhancement RM6756

It is now possible to configure separate node publish directories for pages and binaries (images and files). All existing nodes will initially have the same publish directories set, so existing implementations will not change.
It is important to note, that if an implementation directly uses the property pubdir_ of a node object for files or images, this should be changed to use the new property pubdir_bin_. Otherwise the implementation would fail if separate publish directories are used.

Enhancement RM6734

Improved part() method of tag objects in GCN JS API to be able to change select and multiselect parts values by receiving strings, arrays, as well as objects.

Enhancement RM6214

Implemented the feature “live_urls”. The feature can be enabled in the configuration with $FEATURE[‘live_urls‘] = true;
More information about this new feature can be found in the Gentics Content.Node Guides

Enhancement

A possible SQL Error was fixed within the publish process.

Bugfix RT53596

Page list sorting: Fixed SGB occuring when ordering the list by page variations. This could only happen when the feature “pageusage_variants” was enabled. The page list, template list and folder list will now always use the Rest-API for loading the data. Previously the Rest-API was only used when multichannelling was enabled.

Bugfix RT53474

When a non-editable block-element is inserted into an Aloha editable, an empty helper-paragraph is inserted at the beginning and/or end of the editable. Previous to this hotfix, these helpers were not correctly removed / cleaned up if the page was saved while an active focus was still inside the editable element.

Bugfix RT52865

Fixed a performance issue while editing or publishing pages containing many (several hundred or thousand) tags, or having many language variants. Due to inefficient sql statements while clearing the cache for modified pages, e.g. filling a page tag or publishing the page could take very long.

Bugfix RT53635

Fixed instant publishing of objects, that were localized in channels. Before this fix, the objects were rendered in the scope of their master node, not the channel. This caused e.g. URLs to be wrong, because they contained the hostname of the master and not the channel. The incorrect data in the content repository of the channel was automatically corrected during the following publish run.

Bugfix RT53378

An error in rendering the URLs of files published to content repositories was fixed so that whether or not the links are stored with or without the hostname is now done as configured with Linkway.

Bugfix RT53477

Fixed premature publishing of pages that were created and then moved (without being published before) in a node that published into a content repository with instant publishing enabled.

Bugfix RT53706

Avoid checking and generation of global IDs for tables, that contain data, that is not exported. Especially checking for global IDs of table perm could take very long and could possibly interfer with normal CMS operations for some time after the Tomcat is restarted.

Bugfix RT53506

When comparing the current page version with the last published version, the comparison now falls back to a previously published version if the current version is unchanged since it was last published, so that the page is not compared to itself.

Bugfix RT53758

Publishing pages in channels into the filesystem did not work correctly, when multithreaded publishing was used. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix RM7332

A permission check within the node properties dialog was fixed. Previously some users experienced an SGB error when trying to edit the properties of a previously created channel.

Bugfix

A javascript error was fixed that occured when the folder upload tag part was shown in a tagfill dialog that was opened within the frontend edting mode.

Bugfix RT53383

Fixed the language selection in the Todo-Tool. It now correctly displays only the languages activated in the active node, and does so in the order specified in the node by the custom sort order. Additionally, synchronizing users, groups and languages now works with significantly increased performance.

Bugfix RT53046

Images and files are now handled separately in the REST-API (and the corresponding GCN JS API), which means file load requests can only be made with file IDs. Previously, file load requests could be made with image IDs to return the file properties of images.

Bugfix RT53199

A small error in the todo-tool was fixed that occurred during mouse-over of lists because of missing tooltip functionality.

Bugfix RT53265

Fixed the sorting of folder names requested over the Rest API to correctly handle German special characters, which is relevant for features such as the Repository Browser.

Bugfix RT52849

Node languages: Fixed a rare case where the language could not be sorted anymore, when it had a sortorder of 0. Also enhanced the listing order. Activated language will be listed at the beginning now.

Bugfix RT53018

Fixed a possible NullPointerException when using Multithreaded Publishing into ContentRepositories.

Bugfix RT53391

After a change in the messaging-system, confirmation-alerts were displayed even after successful actions. This was reworked to suppress alerts on success in order to improve usability.

Bugfix

The included profiler webapp file was renamed from profiler.war to Profiler.war. This also fixes the access path for the profiler from /profiler to /Profiler.
In order to access the profiler, the path /Profiler must be added to the JkMounts of the apache configuration.
The profiler webapp is secured with basic authentication for the roles manager or gentics. In order to gain access, the application server must be configured for basic authentication, e.g. by adding an appropriate user in /Node/tomcat/conf/tomcat-users.xml

Bugfix RT53375

Media archive image import: Fixed SGB occuring after selecting an image in the media archive and returning to the tagfill dialog.

Bugfix RT52692

A workaround for a Microsoft SQL JDBC Driver issue was applied. Previously the publish process would stall when publishing directly in a Content.Repository that needed column changes. (eg. new quick columns)

Bugfix RT47489

Fixed possible timeout problems when publishing into a content repository in a very long running transaction. When publishing into a content repository without using “instant publishing“, a database connection is opened at the beginning, which will be used during the whole publish process. There may be situations, where specific connections are not used for a long time (e.g. when many objects have to be published into another content repository), which may cause the database server (or any networking component in between the client and the server) to close the connection. To fix this, the publish process will regularly issue “dummy” SQL statements to all connections to content repository databases, if they were not used for longer than the configured time span. The interval can be configured in the variable $CONTENTMAP_KEEPALIVE_INTERVAL (in seconds), the default value is 3600 (1 hour).

Bugfix RT52759

Fixed the two-column-menu, which is shown if the list of menu entries would not fit inside the browser-window, to be moved to the left if it would exceed the width of the frame otherwise.

Gentics Content.Node 5.11.5

Bugfix RT53148

Fixed the dependency calculation & dirting of objects not correctly working for overview-tags with recursive folders.In some cases it didn‘t dirt & re-publish the overview, when a new object in a subfolder that is listed in the overview was published.

Bugfix RT52346

Added missing i18n translations for ‘Keyword‘ property when editing Tagtype properties.

Bugfix RT52634

Creating multiple folders and pages in a batch run using the GCN JS API nolonger results in content objects having wrong names, properties, and tags.

Bugfix RT53183

Fixed changing the publish directory of a folder by saving it using the REST API or the GCN JS API.Before this fix, the publish directory of the saved folder was not changed.

Gentics Content.Node 5.11.4

Bugfix

A possible NPE was fixed that could occur while rendering overviews over pages.

Gentics Content.Node 5.11.3

Bugfix

Fixed possible NPE, that lead to empty rendered overviews over pages, when multichannelling is not activated.

Gentics Content.Node 5.11.2

Bugfix

Fixed initialization of Aloha Editor for frontend editing

Bugfix RT53018

Fixed a possible NullPointerException when using Multithreaded Publishing into ContentRepositories.

Gentics Content.Node 5.11.1

Manual Change

The login url for sso logins was changed within the Gentics Content.Node JavaScript API

The JavaScript API method loginWithSSO now uses the rest API url /rest/auth/ssologin Previously the /rest/auth/login url was used.See Authentication methods for REST API for more information.

Enhancement

Refactored the global JavaScript object named GCN to GCNREST in tagfill and object tag dialogs. This internal object would provide the Repository Browser with access to the REST backend services,creating a naming conflict with the GCN JS API. The GCN JS API may now be used in tagfill andobject property dialogs using a custom form tag, as the naming conflict is resolved with this change.

Enhancement

Added method /CNPortletapp/rest/auth/ssologin as alternative to /CNPortletapp/rest/auth/login, so that the SSO filters can be mapped to /CNPortletapp/rest/auth/ssologinand login by posting user credentials to /CNPortletapp/rest/auth/login is still possible.

Enhancement RT52864

Improved documentation for gtxalohapagelink (http://www.gentics.com/Content.Node/guides/aloha_gcn_alohapagelink.html) as suggested.Now the class attribute won‘t be added if empty.

Bugfix RT51911

Added missing german translation for “add elements” when selecting objects in a overview tag

Bugfix RT51051

When viewing the tooltip for the tagtype-part URL, two overlapping tooltips were sometimes shown. Furthermore, when more than one parts with the type URL were present, only the first showed a tooltip. This has been corrected, and only one tooltip is shown at any time.

Bugfix RT51642

Fixed the “maximize tree”-icon in the GCN tree frame not being at a fixed position and therefore was probably not visible if the treewas not scrolled to top.

Bugfix RT52987

Ensure that content tags are created for external links as well as internal links.

Bugfix

The edit() method within the Gentics Content.Node JavaScript API was fixed to correctly render tags onto elements when a class name isspecified as the selector rather than an id. Previously the edit() method would not work when a css selector was used to select the dom element that should be edited.

Bugfix RT50625

Under certain preconditions, fields of page properties stayed empty. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT52776

Fixed an error that occurred when uploading files with special characters in the filename.

Bugfix RT52751

Fixed rendering order of pages in page overviews, where the pages are selected and sorted manually.

Bugfix RT52290 RT52043

Fixed dirting of dependent objects when the filename of a file or image was changed using the backend properties dialog.

Bugfix RT52259 RT52605

Inserting tags into editables using the Internet Explorer sometimes moved the selection into a non-editable area in the tag. As a result, when another tag was insertedwith the incorrect set selection, the new tag was inserted into the other tag, not into the editable area.This has been fixed now, when tags are inserted with an invalid selection, the selection will first be corrected to be in a proper place (after the non-editable area).

Bugfix RT52634

When multiple pages were created in the same script using the GCN JS API, the PageAPI were indistinguishable and e.g. tags created in them could get mixed up.This has been fixed now, so that it is now possible to create multiple pages in the same script.

Bugfix RT52830

A bug within the custom form tagpart node tag parsing was fixed. Previously the node tags within the source of a custom form tag were only parsed when a custom form tag was editied within a page. It is now also possible to use node tags within the context of object properties for folders, pages, templates, files and images. Please note that only a small subset of tags can be evaluated when viewing the tag type within the tag type edit dialog due to the missing context of a page, file, template, image, folder.

Bugfix RT52964

Ensured that clicking on an internal link will result in the floating menuand/or sidebar to be shown appropriately — even if the editable inwhich the linkis rendered is inside an aloha block.

Bugfix RT52573

A permission check within the rest api login method was fixed. Previously it was possible to login when the maintenance mode was enabled. Now login is only allowed for users that can enable/disable the maintenance mode.

Bugfix RT52746

Fixed check for duplicate node names and hostname/publish directory settings when creating or updating nodes.Before this fix, the create/update operation was not done, but no error was shown either.

Bugfix RT52368

When $FEATURE[“logout_page”] is set to a URL and multiple browser-windows are used at once, there was a problem when the user logged out of the system in one window and tried to continue browsing ~~in that case, the logout~~page was only shown in the current frame. After the fix, logout-pages are always displayed in the whole page.

Bugfix RT52712 RT52660

When exporting objects, for which no global IDs have been generated, a NullPointerException was thrown (and the export failed). This has been fixed now to throw a more descriptive error message (including the object name and id).Additionally, every time the server is started, missing global IDs are generated in a background job.

Bugfix RT52516

Fixed confirmation-alerts in the context-menu to be displayed for critical actions like delete or publish, and omitted otherwise.

Bugfix RT52759

Fixed a problem with menu-items being unreachable on small screens or in large lists. If a submenu has more content than can be shown inside the browser window, menu-items are now arranged in a two-column-design.

Bugfix RT52876

Fixed user/profile form stating that the description must be not empty in the tooltip.

Bugfix RT52762

When translating a page into another language (which was not created before), the translation split-screen view showed a diff instead of the current page to be translated (in the upper frame).This has been fixed now. The diff view will only be shown, if the translation was synchronized with an older version of the page and is continued now.

Gentics Content.Node 5.11.0

Enhancement RT52344

It is now possible to sync Gentics Content.Node user-groups with CAS-SSO. After creating the user, the groups will be syncronized between CAS-Server and Gentics Content.Node.See Authentication methods for REST API for more information.

Enhancement

The cas login functionallity was enhanced. It is now possible to add a cas post login handler that allows the modification of the user and the assigned groups.See HTTP Auth SSO Configuration for more information.

Gentics Content.Node 5.10.0

Enhancement RT51756

When filtering pages using the REST API or using the page list in the Gentics Content.Node backend, it was not possible to filter pages with status “Publish At”(pages that are scheduled to be published at a specific point in time in the future). This has been fixed now.

Enhancement RM5826 RT52022

An additional column was added to the page publish queue. The node name will now be listed within the publish queue.

Enhancement RT51974

When a user did not have create permission for pages in any of his groups, but had the create permission for all languages in at least one of his roles, copying pages failedwith a SGB. This is fixed now, so that the user will now be able to copy pages.

Enhancement

The new feature crfilesystem_attributes_ allows publishing specific tagmap entries into contentrepository attributes that are stored in the filesystem.The feature is disabled by default.

Enhancement RT5682

Adding validation of editables before saving. If validation is enabled, validation will be performed on all editable at the offset of the savingprocess. If any editable fails validation, the saving process will be aborted with an error message.

Enhancement RT52622

When using the new export mechanism to export a construct that used a datasource (in a part) with datasources generally excluded, but the single datasource included, the datasourcewas excluded from the export but should have been included. This has been fixed now, so that objects that are manually included are exported in all cases, even if the type has been excluded.

Bugfix RT52416

Removed unnecessary entry “Real Editor” in the folder context menu.

Bugfix RT52396

The paging functionality within the page list was fixed. Previously the page list would only display 5/10/20/50 items depending on the configured paging setting.

Bugfix RT52297

Fixed SGB error occuring when applying an object property to sub folders. This is caused by duplicate object properties in the database. This update deletes those duplicate entries.

Bugfix RM5993

Prevent “Object doesn‘t support this property or method…” error when openingPreview or Live Preview in IE8.

Bugfix RT52413

When saving a page where only the case of some letters changed, it didn‘t create a new page version.This has been fixed now and new page versions are created now when the case of letters change.This is important when versioned publishing is enabled.

Bugfix RT51642

The “maximize tree”-icon was fixed within the Gentics Content.Node tree frame. Previously the icon was not being shown at a fixed position and therefore was probably not visible if the treewas not scrolled to top.

Bugfix RT52572

An issue that caused an exception to be thrown in some cases when checking for quick column definitions was fixed by adding handling for the deprecated binary attribute type.

Bugfix RT52491

At the start of every publish process, that SQL statements issued to detect, when a specific node was published the last time were very inefficient and slow, becausethey used the very large table logcmd.The implementation has now been changed to store the timestamp of the last publish run for a specific node in the table ‘node‘ instead, which will decrease thetime necessary to initialize the publish process with a large number of nodes and a big logcmd table.

Bugfix RT52597

The permission check on root folders of nodes/channels worked differently in Java and PHP, which could cause some nodes/channels to appear in the Repository Browser althoughthe user should not have permissions, when the permission entries in the database were inconsistent.

Bugfix RT52191

Using publish handlers together with instant publishing did not work as expected: When triggering instant publishing (by publishing a page or creating/editing an image, file or folder) beforea regular publish run, the publish handlers were not triggered.Additionally, the destroy() method of the publish handler was called for every transaction commit (for every published object), and not only when the publish handler was taken out of service (as intended).The lifecycle of publish handler instances has been modified, in a way that instances of publish handlers will now stay in service until either the server is shut down, or the publish handler entry is eitherchanged or removed.

Bugfix RT52442

Fixed Aloha.ready() being fired too early (before frontend editing is finished initializing editables).

Bugfix RT52202

A caching issue within the purge versions job was fixed. In some cases this issue could cause the creation of lower version numbers for pages when a page was edited.

Bugfix RT51972

The creation of page versions has been improved to be much faster, even if the page already has many versions. This increases the performance of saving and publishing the page via Java (REST API).

Bugfix

Added missing error message when setting hostname and publish directory of a node to settings of another node.Before this fix, the changes were just not saved, but no error message was shown.

Bugfix RT52405

Fixed pasting with LiveEditor to avoid JavaScript error, and to insert content into the editor when performing Rechtsklick > “Einfgen (ohne Formatierungen)”.

Bugfix RT52715

Bugfix

The ribbon will no longer be shown when the setting Aloha.setting.ribbon has been set to false.

Gentics Content.Node 5.9.3

Bugfix RM5650

The formatless paste plugin default configuration was fixed. Previously the formatless paste plugin did not work and no formatting was removed when content was pasted. The formatless paste handler was added to the list of default contenthandlers for insertHtml.

Gentics Content.Node 5.9.2

The Gentics Content.Node JavaScript API edit() method fixed to correctly render tags onto elements when a class name is specified as the selector rather than an id.

Bugfix RM3811

The cancel button within the new scheduler task view was fixed. Previously the cancel button did not return the user to the scheduler list. The order of buttons was changes so that the cancel button is right side of the view.

Gentics Content.Node 5.9.0

Enhancement RM2372

The GenticsImageStore will now also be able resize images in foreign nodes. A page in node A may now contain the following image url:
http://www.node-b-hostname.tdl/GenticsImageStore/300/auto/prop/Content.Node/images/flower.jpg

Such an url will be identified by the GenticsImageStore during the publish process. The imagestore identifies the referenced node by examing the hostname within the found url.
The image within node B will be resized when the GenticsImageStore determined that the referenced node (in this case node b) is publishing into the filesystem. Resizing will otherwise be omitted.The image tag must be adapted to include the node B hostname.
Example velocity implementation:
#if($cms.rendermode.publish) #else #end

Fixed multithreaded publishing in conjunction with instant publishing into content repositories, which lead to longer publishing times, without using CPU time.

Bugfix RT51433

When a page was requested to be opened in edit mode (using Aloha Editor), but was instead opened in readonly mode,because the user had insufficient privileges to edit the page or the page was locked by another user, the settings for$cms.rendermode still pretended, that the page was opened in edit mode. This caused specific edit mode implementationsto fail in such cases. This has been fixed now, so that the setting for $cms.rendermode will always be correct.

Bugfix

Fixed the Repository Browser to not show any objects in the list, when the Root Node (“Content.Node”) is selected.

Bugfix RT51674

Fixed releasing a semaphore when the publish process fails while starting a transaction for publishing into a contentrepository. If the semaphore was not released, the following publish process could hang indefinitely.

Bugfix RT51674

Bugfix RT51638

Fixed a bug that caused image data to be set incorrectly when uploading a new image while editing a page when the target folder of the image was set outside of the current node.

Bugfix RT51953

Fixed importing of tagtypes that already exist on the target system, but have less parts in the export file. Due to a bug, the superfluous parts where not removed during the import.

Bugfix

Fixed how links are saved to ensure that all link parts are saved as well.

Bugfix RT51855

Fixed bug that the page was locked twice in the top menu of a page.This also caused the page to not get unlocked when doing this the first time.

Bugfix RT51638

Fixed a bug that caused image data to be set incorrectly when uploading a new image while editing a page when the target folder of the image was set outside of the current node.

Bugfix

The file fetch feature will now correctly check the needed permissions for the used import folder. Previously create permissions were not checked correctly.

Bugfix RT51912

When inserting a constuct using Aloha Editor the list of constructs to choose from was unsorted. The REST API will now sort the list of constructs by default.

Bugfix RT51971

fixes #51971 with workaround for when ie7 sometimes results in dom elementshaving corrupted attributes references.

Bugfix RT52023

The feature Versioned Publishing, which has been disabled is now enabled by default.

Bugfix RT52004

Fixed the feature logout_page not showing the text “Logout successful” because of a broken translation.Also added the ability to set an actual URL instead of just true to this feature.

Bugfix RT51863

REST API call /CNPortletapp/rest/page/render is fixed to be able to detect rootelements with uppercase tag names. Therefore, given:

and

In both cases the #myeditable should be identified as the root element which is to contain the rendered contents of:

Bugfix RT51707

Fixed a bug in tagfill which would cause an error when switching text parts of a tagtype to tag (page) parts.

Bugfix RT51872

Fixed SGB error when the tagfill dialog (when a tag in a page is edited) was saved,while the original page ~~the dialog belonged to~~ wasn‘t loaded anymore.

Bugfix RT51757

Fixed premature evaluation of script tags that occurred in IE when renderingtags for editing that contained script tags.

Gentics Content.Node 5.8.0

Manual Change

Aloha Editor 0.20.x was removed from GCN

Aloha Editor 0.20.x was removed from Gentics Content.Node. Now only the latest version of Aloha Editor will be included.The features aloha , aloha_010 and aloha_jqueryui are no longer being used and should be removed from the node.conf configuration file.

Manual Change

Change to GCN JS API

Fixed the GCN JS API so that the element that is passed into the edit() methods the container for the rendered tag contents is also appropriated as the rootelement of the rendered tag. Beforehand, an new root element would be generated during the render call towrap the contents of the tag, and this would result in unwanted nestedcontainers wrapping the contents of the tag.*ie*: Given: tag.edit('#content');
The outerHTML of HTMLElement#content will now be:

My tag content

Rather than:

 My tag content

Gentics Content.Node 5.7.1

Bugfix

A bug that occured when handling the ALOHA_PLUGINS_NODE setting was fixed. Previously some alohaeditor jqueryui specific plugins were not added to the final list of plugins. This issue only affected systems where the aloha_jqueryui feature was enabled.

Bugfix

Missing i18n entries were added.

Bugfix

Fixed a bug in the handling of escape characters in i18n strings.

Bugfix

An SGB that occured when opening the usage view for images was fixed.

Fixed detection of image dimensions for .ico files, when they are uploadedusing the REST API or imported. When .ico files were imported, the importfailed with an “Internal Error”.

Gentics Content.Node 5.6.3

Bugfix

A bug that occurred during the building of 5.6.2 was fixed.

Gentics Content.Node 5.6.2

Manual Change

Tagtypes implementation and Aloha Editor block-plugin

In order for tagtype implementations to be compatible with the block-pluginof Aloha-Editor (not loaded by default), they must either have a div or spanroot element.If a tagtype implementation does not have a div or span root element, itwill be automatically wrapped with a div, and an error will be logged inthe browser console.Due to the automatic wrapping, tagtypes may still work, even if they donot have a div or span root element, however, it is still an error, andtagtype implementations must be updated accordingly.

Manual Change

Disabled Aloha Editor block-plugin drag and drop feature

The GCN Intergration Plugin now supports the use of page object handlers as thelegacy version of this plugin did. The API has remained the same except forone significant change: Registered page object handler callbacks will receive aGCN.PageAPI page object rather than a plain-old-object.It might also be helpful to note that the page object you receive in thehandler function allows you to inspect exactly what data of the page objectwill be sent to the server in the save process (since for efficiency, onlychanges are send to the server during saving, and not the entire page data asin the legacy plugin). This introspection can be done using page.json().Beware however that the returned object is only useful for introspection andnot reflection. IE: Changing properties of the object returned by page.json()will not mutate the page object itself, this must done via the page object‘sAPI.

Manual Change

Possible Root elements of tagtypes changed.

The ecma5.js added the following functions to the environment if they didn‘t exist already.* Function.prototype.bind* String.prototype.trim* Array.prototype.indexOf* Array.prototype.lastIndexOf* Array.prototype.forEach* Array.prototype.map* Array.prototype.filter* Array.prototype.every* Array.prototype.some* window.compareDocumentPosition* window.getComputedStyleAlso, the window.Node object was added to the environment containingDOM-Node type properties.Please make sure that custom javascript implementations don‘t rely onany of these properties being defined.Some of them are still provided by some browsers, but not by others.For example, String.prototype.trim and Array.prototype.indexOf will workon Chrome but not on older versions of IE.String.prototype.trim and Array.prototype.indexOf methods are the mostoften used functions, and, if custom implementations rely on some ofthese methods to be defined, it is most likely one those two.

Manual Change

Additional default plugins for new aloha editor version were added.

The following plugins were added to the default plugin list for the jqueryui version of aloha.* common/ui* common/block* extra/ribbonNOTE: This only applies when the feature aloha_jqueryui was enabled.

Manual Change

The policy-map schema used for the validation feature has been changed.

If you have configured a custom policy map by following these instructions please verify that your policy-map.custom.xml is still valid according to the schema .The custom policy map will automatically be validated during the restart of the tomcat while performing a GCN update. If the schema fails to validate, the update will likewise fail. If the update fails due to schema validation errors, it is sufficient to fix the validation erros and restart the tomcat afterwards.To validate the policy-map.custom.xml manually, you can download the current schema and perform the validation using a XML Schema validation tool. For example, using xmllint xmllint ~~-schema policy~~map.xsd /Node/etc/policy-map.custom.xml

Fixed encoding and translation of error message in Scheduler, when trying to delete a Task Event, that cannot be deleted because another Task Event depends on it.

Gentics Content.Node 5.5.6

Enhancement

Added new feature “liveeditorsavelog” for detection of possible data loss when saving page contents with the live editor. If turned on, and the new saved tag value is less than the old one (by a configurable percentage – $LIVEEDITORSAVELOG_PERC, default is 10%),the contents in the different stages of transformation is logged in the DB. By default, this feature is off.Configuration example:$FEATURE["liveeditorsavelog"] = true; // detect possible data loss$LIVEEDITORSAVELOG_PERC = 5; // log in case of at least 5% less data

Bugfix

The quickjump will now also update the tree menu for pages in nodes that use the liveeditor for editing.

Bugfix

When using Aloha Editor, handling of empty block elements (like paragraphs) has been fixed now. All block elements will contain a single
when saved. This
tags will only be present while editing, if not using Internet Explorer.Additionally, the behaviour of creating empty paragraphs will now be consistent across all browsers, and regardless of whether the metaview plugin is turned on or off.

Bugfix

The group permission view was fixed. Previously permission settings were also displayed for localized folders. Those folders will now be handled like inherited folders within a channel. No permission information will be displayed for those folders.

Gentics Content.Node 5.5.5

This feature is considered stable even though the full testcycle has been omitted to be able to add it to release 5.5.2.
Added features “redirect_check_referer“ and “redirect_assume_https“ for redirecting the request to load the latest version of Aloha Editor with an URL like /CNPortletapp/latest/..., if using an additional Apache to handle SSL.Normally, the redirect would be done relative to the incoming request, but if an additional Apache is used to handle SSL, the incoming request to the backend would not know about https:// and the redirect would be done to http://.To avoid this, it is possible to use the feature “redirect_check_referer“, which would let the redirector check the referer URL and use the schema and hostname from it. In cases, where it is not sure, whether the referer is always available, it is possible to also use the feature “redirect_assume_https“ to always do the redirect to https:// and the hostname sent in the request header “Host”.

Gentics Content.Node 5.5.1

$MULTILEVEL_PUB_WORKFLOW[nodeId] = true;

in the /Node/etc/node.conf for all nodes.

Gentics Content.Node 5.4.22

Manual Change

In version 5.4.19 the template mimetype was changed from text/js to text/javascript.

This change was reverted due to an incompatibility with Gentics Portal.Node. This incompatibility was resolved for Gentics Portal.Node releases that were made after Update 11927 2012-03-02. Once you have updated your Gentics Portal.Node installations you can execute the following sql statement within your node database to apply the change. UPDATE ml SET contenttype = 'text/javascript' WHERE name='JavaScript'; The incompatibility caused pages that were created with the text/javscript mimetype to be displayed incorrectly within any portal that serves pages using the GenticsContentPortlet.

Gentics Content.Node 5.4.21

Gentics Content.Node 5.4.20

Gentics Content.Node 5.4.19

Gentics Content.Node 5.4.16

Bugfix

Fixed NullPointerException that occurred when pages were created through the REST API.

Bugfix

Fixed edit page link in the Assistant of the Aloha-Editor mode broke the page layout.

Bugfix

Fixed an error that prevented restoration of page versions.

Gentics Content.Node 5.4.15

Manual Change

The Apache HTTPD package has to be updated to the latest version.

Download the self-executing installer package# Execute the installer package with the root user# The installer will ask whether the new configuration should be installed – please skip this step by pressing enter (the current configuration will be kept).

Enhancement

The page copy action performance was enhanced.

Enhancement

Inserted an input validation for HTML for the tagtype properties when the “validation” feature is turned on.

See: Validation

Enhancement

The REST API page/restore restore versions was optimized to be more consistant.

Bugfix

Fixed errors that were caused by missing folder or template objects duringa publishrun with versioned publishing enabled.Versioned publishing will render and publish the published content ofpages that are included in other pages, for example via an Overview, ora Tag (page), or similar TagTypes that can include content from otherpages, or via a Page variant.

Additionally, there were some changes concerning the versioning of pages.

First, the folder of a page has ben excluded from versioning. This meansthat the page will always be rendered in its current folder. Forexample, Changelog will render the name of the current foldereven in an older version of the page. Before this change, the name ofthe folder where the page was when the version was created was renderd.

Second, the template of a page is still versioned, but should thetemplate of an older version of the page have been deleted, the currenttemplate will be used as a fallback and a warning will be logged. Toavoid this, never delete a template that may be used by older versionsof a page.

Manual Change

The Aloha Editor plugin API was changed

Aloha Editor 0.10 will no longer expose it‘s internal jQuery object through the $ and/or jQuery variables. You have to include your own version of jQuery if you relied on Aloha Editor‘s version prior to this update.# The “GENTICS_“ prefix for CSS class names has been replaced by “aloha-“. If you targeted those specific class names in your implementation those need to be updated.# The “GENTICS.Aloha“ namespace for Aloha Editor‘s JavaScript objects has been reduced to “Aloha” alone.*Please note:*# If you want to edit your pages using Aloha Editor a valid doctype has to be specified.# As the plugin system has been fully rewritten in Aloha Editor 0.10 plugins you wrote for 0.9.3 will not work with the new version. See our documentation on how to edit plugin settings.

If you attempt to update from Gentics Content.Node 5.0.0 or older, a special patch needs to be applied. Extract the patch file which can be downloaded (gcn5_update_patch.tgz) in /Node/.node:cd /Node/.nodewget [URL_TO_gcn5_update_patch.tgz]tar xzf gcn5_update_patch.tgz// ! Delete file or change permissions otherwise the replacement of .node can't be executed by the auto update !rm gcn5_update_patch.tgzIf you attempt to update without the patch, Gentics Content.Node won‘t recognize the latest update file as a valid update package and the update process will fail.
