Gentics Content.Node Changelog

Gentics Content.Node 5.20.25

Bugfix SUP-2160

Copying nodes where objects have been moved to the wastebin (deleted) didn‘t work. This has been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-1862

The systemsession table was not cleaned regularly from old session data, which could cause the table to grow too big. This has been fixed now.
Also, request done via the REST API did not “touch” the systemsession by setting the time of the last access. This has also been fixed.

Gentics Content.Node 5.20.24

Optional Manual Change

The FileLink plugin did not treat images as files.

If an image was selected, a normal link to that image was created. This has been fixed now, so that also images will be treated as files.
For this fix to work, also the implementation of the tagtype might be changed: The hardcoded type 10008 has to be replaced with $!{cms.tag.parts.file.target.ttype}. See the Guides:“http://www.gentics.com/Content.Node/guides/aloha_gcn_filelink_plugin.html” for details.

Bugfix SUP-2109

In inbox messages the links to pages in multichannel nodes where not resolved correctly. The link would always point to the page in the channel the user last worked in. This has been fixed: links to pages in messages will now always open the page in the channel, where the page can be edited without localizing it.

Bugfix SUP-1445

When clicking the “Create copy“ button when editing an image, the button label changed to “Duplicate”. This has been fixed, so that it stays the same.

Bugfix SUP-2112

When a page, which is published and is the target of a link in another page is put into the wastebin, the editor of the other page received an inbox message about the invalid link with the reason, that the link target was taken offline. While this is technically correct (the page is first taken offline and then put into the wastebin), it might be misleading. Therefore the inbox message for that case has been changed to be like when the page is deleted and not put into the wastebin.

Bugfix SUP-1913

The preview tooltip in the repository browser has been moved, so that it will no longer overlap with nearby filenames.

Bugfix SUP-1816

When several occurrences of the same tag (that is with the same tag ID, not just the same tag type) were present in a page, the Aloha editor would only convert the first one into an aloha-block. This behavior has been changed, so that every occurrence of a tag will become a block and get edit and delete buttons.
Note that having several occurrences of the same tag should be avoided. It is not supported in Aloha editor since it implies invalid HTML markup and can only be achieved by editing the contents of an editable directly (for example using the tag fill dialog). This fix just prevents subsequent errors when a tag is not converted to an aloha-block. The different occurrences of a tag are not necessarily synchronized.

Bugfix SUP-2148

Fixed the tree frame becoming smaller each time it is loaded in Internet Explorer. Also fixed some Javascript errors in the tree.

Bugfix SUP-1826

When the feature wastebin is activated, the group Node Super Admin will automatically get the permission to view the wastebin for all Nodes.

Bugfix SUP-2107

When linking/unlinking a single template from folders, where the user does not have permission to link the template to a folder where the template is already link, the user would always get an error message stating the missing permission. However, linking/unlinking the template to/from folders where the user has the permission still worked as expected. This issue has been fixed now, so that the unnecessary message will not be shown any more.

Gentics Content.Node 5.20.23

Documentation SUP-2044

The guides on using meta attributes were updated to include a warning about using the Node-Style syntax in templates containing “<” characters.

Bugfix SUP-2048

Pages with special regular expression characters in their names (or filenames) could not be saved sometimes. This has been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-2040

When deleting tags in a page the page status was not updated to “modified”. This has been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-1588

When the list of object properties of an object is sorted by name, the list will not be grouped by object categories. It is now possible to restore the original grouped display by repeatedly clicking on the column header. Each click on the column header will change the sorting state between # Sorted in ascending order # Sorted in descending order # Grouped by category

Bugfix SUP-2063

The maintenance details in the administration menu listed pages which were to be taken offline as pages to be published. This has been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-2093

Fixed the error “Error while getting timestamp of last publish process” that can happen when the DirtQueue worker runs the publish queue migration.

Bugfix SUP-2001

When opening the object properties of a file and then navigating to the properties using the link in the assistent frame, the dialog possibly showed properties of another file. When clicking “Cancel” from the properties dialog, the list of images was shown instead of the list of files. Both issues have been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-2092

Some object attributes that should be displayed in the Aloha editor sidebar where missing in certain renditions of the GCN link browser, so the displayed information was not updated properly. This has been fixed.

Gentics Content.Node 5.20.22

Bugfix

Removed a wrong changelog note from version 5.20.21

Gentics Content.Node 5.20.21

Bugfix

When using the publish_cache, rendering a page in a channel in publish mode using the REST API failed with an Internal Error. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-2009

No newlines were allowed in the system maintenance message. This has been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-2032

The missing REST API methods

/file/delete/{id} to delete a file
/image/delete/{id} to delete an image
have been added.

Bugfix SUP-1193

The gcn-linkbrowser plugin would filter out attributes from repository elements, even if the link plugin was configured to display them in the sidebar. This has been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-1981

Resolving properties of tag parts during rendering a velocity part could fail without any exception logged. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-1957

Under special circumstances, an import could fail with an Internal Error, due to a NullPointerException in UnlockContentTransactional.onDBCommit (while commiting the transaction). This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-2018

When a node was deleted, the objects in the wastebin of that node were left behind. This could cause subsequent errors and has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-887

The following tagmap entries are no longer reserved and can be modified or deleted:

createtimestamp
creator
creatoremail
editor
editoremail
edittimestamp
priority
publisher
publishermail
publishtimestamp

Bugfix SUP-1558

When working with the CMS backend, some unnecessary data was permanently stored in the user session. This could lead to problems, if the session grew too big. The behaviour has been changed now, so that some session data will be cleared from the session if the user logs out.
This especially concerns the search settings for object lists: Before this change, if a user made a search e.g. in the page list of a specific folder, this setting was still there, even if the user logged out and in again. After this change, search settings will be cleared when the user logs out.

Bugfix SUP-2019

Updating the tomcat to a newer version sometimes did not work due to an error in the version number comparison. With this update, the tomcat version will be updated to the last recent version, if this failed to happen during previous updates due to this bug. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-2018

The Workflow Timetrigger has been fixed to ignore pages in the wastebin.

Bugfix SUP-2010

On some systems (depending on the PHP version and environment settings), the maintenance message was show in the banner with incorrect UTF-8 encoding. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-1273

When the tagfill dialog of an overview tag is opened, where the options to select type and source of the listed objects was restricted, so that the current data in the tag is not valid any more, the tagfill dialog will be opened at step 1 and the list of currently selected objects will be cleared.

Bugfix SUP-1992

An internal error while exporting objects due to missing translatable names has been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-2064

When importing bundles using an export URL, the global ID of the bundle to import was not generated correctly in response to the request of the download URL. This caused the check whether the bundle was already installed on the system to fail. This has been fixed now. It is important to note, that the system providing the export has to be updated for this fix.

Bugfix SUP-2043

When publishing a page with more than 16MB of content into the filesystem using multithreaded publishing, the page was not written into the filesystem, but no error was logged and the publish run did not fail. This has been changed now, so that the publish run will fail with an error like Caused by: com.mysql.jdbc.MysqlDataTruncation: Data truncation: Data too long for column 'source'.
The Gentics Infoportal also contains a new FAQ page “How can I enable support for pages with more than 16MB of content?”.

Bugfix SUP-2065

When the feature quickrecursivetranslations is activated, the context menu entry Create translations was shown to all users, even if they had no permission to create a single language. Also in the dialog, the languages were not filtered by permissions. Both issues have been fixed now: # The menu entry Create translations will only be shown, if the user has permission on at least a single language # The dialog will only show languages the user may create.

Gentics Content.Node 5.20.20

When applying this update, the packaged Tomcat will be updated to version 7.0.65 which contains important security and bug fixes. You can delete the old Tomcat directory (/Node/apache-tomcat-x.x.x) after updating.

Bugfix SUP-529

The GCN integration plugin for the Aloha editor used the CSS class clearfix which could conflict with pages using bootstrap. The conflicting class names have been removed.

Bugfix SUP-1849

Sometimes when closing a page that was opened in edit mode using Aloha Editor without any changes, Aloha Editor incorrectly detected a content change. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-1976

When using the Java Rest Client to update pages, an error occurred, unless the mediatype of the posted entity was explicitly forced to MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_TYPE. The error has been fixed now. However, forcing the mediatype to MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_TYPE is recommended nevertheless.

Bugfix SUP-1257

For ContentRepositories that have attributes like e.g. the content of pages optimized, the ContentRepository browser would always display the content when querying the Contentmap, even if the checkbox labelled “Also display large contents.” was not checked. The HTML tags in the content were not escaped, which caused HTML in the content to be interpreted. Both issues have been fixed now.

Gentics Content.Node 5.20.19

Documentation SUP-1915

The documentation of the REST API Java Client now contains examples for handling binary data of files.

Bugfix SUP-1773

The usageinfo for pages also considered objects in the wastebin, which has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-1684

When pages were published using the time management (“publish at”), and the publish process needed to create a version, this new version did not have an editor set. This has been changed now, so that the user who last edited the page will be set as editor of the page version.

Bugfix SUP-1773

It was not possible to create page variants of a page in another folder, if the other folder contained a page in the wastebin having the same name as the original page. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-1749

When opening a page from the queue, the related links were missing. They have been added now.

Bugfix SUP-1927-SUP-903

Fixed two occurences of a wrong proxy prefix for Gentics-Imagestore-URLs in frontend editing. This fixes two errors when doing Image Manipulation with frontend editing:

The image could disappear after the automatic resize of a large image for editing.
When perfoming a crop action on an image, the image disappeared.

Gentics Content.Node 5.20.18

Bugfix SUP-1880

When objects contained in an import were deleted, viewing the list of imported objects could lead to an SGB. The same error could happen when trying to delete the import. Those issues have been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-1888

When the GenticsImageStore runs out of sync and holds references to resized images, that do not exist in the filesystem, the publish process failed with an error. This has been fixed now, so that missing resized images will be recreated on demand, without failing publish process.

Bugfix SUP-1894

The pageimport possibly imported objects into folders in the wastebin. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-1872

The recursive search for files or images did not find files/images in subfolders of folders, where the user did not have permission to view files/images. This also affected the wastebin (deleted files/images were not shown in the wastebin if the user did not have permission to view files/images in one of the superfolders). This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-1721

In some cases, when maintenance mode was active users could not log in anymore. Also the maintenance banner would cover up the login fields preventing clicks on the login form. These issues have been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-1815

When using multichanneling, restoring a localized object from the wastebin would also restore the corresponding master object, even if the user had no permission to do so. This has been fixed and the behavior of the wastebin feature has been changed, so that the overview of deleted objects shows if any other objects would be implicitly restored.
Please read the Wastebin Feature documentation for more information.

Gentics Content.Node 5.20.17

Bugfix SUP-1783

When using multichanneling the usage overview would not list some objects in other channel structures.

Gentics Content.Node 5.20.16

Bugfix SUP-1677

The internal handling of PreparedStatements used an unnecessary large amount of memory in long running transaction (like an import), which could lead to performance problems and even OutOfMemory errors. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-1782

The contentfile_auto_offline feature would sometimes take files in master nodes offline which were still used in channels of a different master node. This has been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-1781

When taking pages offline or deleting them, the notification about invalidated links would sometimes display the wrong path when using multichanneling. This has been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-1808

Setting of a target folder in an import did not work. This bug was introduced in 5.20.0 and has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-1784

Bugfix SUP-1576

The detection of GenticsImageStore URLs has been improved to fix some special cases

Bugfix SUP-1600

When an editor entered more than 255 characters into the description field for pages, folders or files, this either caused an SGB or superfluous characters were silently removed (depending on the database configuration). This has been changed now, so that the user will get a descriptive error message.

Bugfix SUP-1774

Sometimes when multichanneling was used, user permissions for the wastebin were not checked correctly and users could not restore or delete objects from the wastebin. This has been fixed.

The possible values for the “sortby” query parameter has been documented in the REST API documentation for methods that return sorted lists of elements.

Bugfix SUP-1487

When using login via SSO, sometimes user session were completely reset between logins. Custom settings like the current content language, the paging or open folders in the tree were lost in such cases. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-1519

When a page is modified because the tagtype of a template tag (editable in pages) was changed, the editor and edate were changed, if the page was also missing some editable tags from the template. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-1520

When configuring custom columns for the repository browser, they were always made sortable, even if “sortable” was set to false. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-1771

Sometimes an error during a publish run did not cause a rollback of the current transaction (which could in turn cause subsequent publish runs to stall indefinitely). This has been fixed.

Gentics Content.Node 5.20.14

Documentation SUP-1701

The default values of the variables “langvars“ and “pagevars“ in the PageAPI of the GCN Javascript API were wrongly documented as “false”. This has been corrected.

When publishing pages using multichannelling and multithreaded publishing, where localized copies of pages were put into the wastebin, some errors could occur. The publish process could fail with an InconsistentDataException or inherited pages were sometimes not published into channels. These errors have been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-1648

Links could be created by pressing the insert link buttons, or by inserting a magic link tag from the insert tag menu. The later method was not intended, so the link tag is no longer shown in the insert menu.

Bugfix SUP-1715

When DeleteInfo-objects where cached in the filesystem cache a NotSerializableException was thrown. This has been fixed: the class DeleteInfo is now serializable.

Gentics Content.Node 5.20.13

Bugfix SUP-1415

Fixed some issues with activated maintenance mode:

Fixed a case where users still were able to login, when CAS, SSO or HTTP AUTH login is used.
Fixed the maintenance mode only being checked on user log in. now it will be also checked when the user loads a new page.
Enhanced the positioning and the color of some stream styles for the maintenance mode.

Bugfix SUP-1592

When CR publishing is enabled for a node, The RestAPI PageResource method /render rendered static links instead of tags into the content and the setting linkway_file had no effect. This bug was introduced with 5.20.0 and is fixed now.

Gentics Content.Node 5.20.12

Bugfix SUP-1589

Fixed the feature “move_perm_with_edit” not being respected anymore since 5.19.0, when moving a file. Also fixed an error message printing the wrong source folder, when the user has insufficient permissions to move an object in the source folder.

Bugfix SUP-1486

Fixed a bug where Aloha Editor blocks (i.e. links) would be removed when saving the page, when a tag with the same name existed previously, but was removed by the editor. This only happened when the the page was not reloaded after saving. This can happen with Frontend editing and the Real editor mode.

Gentics Content.Node 5.20.11

Bugfix SUP-1485

When publishing pages - using the publish cache - with tags where the Tagtype has been deleted, an error message was printed to the log file. This error has been removed.

Bugfix SUP-1522

The GenticsImageStore did not recognize URLs that started with //[hostname]/GenticsImageStore (without the protocol http: or https:). This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-1323

When using the publish cache and a page was republished with modified content, the page variants of the page were also republished, but the publish cache of the page variants were not cleared. As a result, the page variants were republished with their old content. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-1502

Users with language specific edit permissions (given from roles) could see some actions in the menu for page lists, which they were not allowed to perform. Clicking on one of those menu items resulted in an error. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-1522

The GenticsImageStore failed to detect image URLs enclosed in cdata, which has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-1469

When using the feature publish_cache and only changing an object property of a page (without changing or manually republishing the page itself), the page was republished with the old object property value. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-1500

The performance of listing objects in the wastebin has been improved.

Bugfix SUP-1399

When using the publish cache publishing pages with big page overviews could cause OutOfMemory errors. This has been fixed now.

Gentics Content.Node 5.20.8

Documentation SUP-1447

The REST API documentation incorrectly statet, that the nodeId for the call
/CNPortletapp/rest/file/load/{id} should be added as path parameter, instead of a
query parameter, this has been corrected now.

Bugfix SUP-1441

When importing a new Node containing an object with an overview, where the root folder of the new Node was selected, a NullPointerException could occur, which has been fixed now.

Some internal Locks have been made less restrictive to avoid unnecessary locking of threads.

Bugfix SUP-1361

When editing links with Aloha Editor and entering data containing special URL characters (like ‘#‘) the resulting query sent to the server was incorrect. Especially when the character ‘#‘ was used, the resulting query was an unbounded recursive search for all pages, which could lead to performance problems on the server and timeout errors in the client. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix 1326

Fixed pages being rendered with the wrong DOCTYPE sometimes when comparing 2 page versions and the page does not define a HTML 4 Doctype (but HTML 5 for example).

Instead of restarting Tomcat after the update, it is now stopped before updating the libraries and started again after the update is complete.

Bugfix SUP-1126

When editing a page with the Aloha editor, the cursor would disappear in some browsers after inserting an inline tag, which prevented further editing. This has been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-601

The log entries for start and end of the publish process did not show the correct action in the log view, which has been fixed now.

Gentics Content.Node 5.20.2

Manual Change

On systems running PHP Version 5.3.9 or higher, there is a new configuration option max_input_vars which should be set to a higher number.

This setting limits the number of input variables, that can be posted to the server. The default setting (1000) prevents e.g. successful linking of templates to folders, if the folder tree shows more than 500 folders. We therefore recommend to raise the value of max_input_vars to e.g. 10000 in the file gtx_gcn_custom.ini. You have to restart the apache webserver after that. The path to this file varies between distributions:

Suse and Debian: /etc/php5/conf.d/
Redhat: /etc/php.d/

Bugfix SUP-1185

When changing the name of a construct part, the name was also changed for other newly created parts. This is because all newly created construct parts had the name id 1. This bug has been introduced in version 5.20.0.

Bugfix SUP-1192

When closing the node properties dialog, an SGB occurred, which has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-1091

When deleted objects are shown in the object lists of channels, only the wastebin related actions will be available. The activated display of deleted objects will now be indicated by a label.

Bugfix SUP-918

Sometimes, handling dependencies caused errors due to stale database connections. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-1163

When exporting objects with translatable names (like tagtypes or object property definitions), the export file could contain an inconsistency due to missing translations. This subsequently caused an “Internal Error” during import. This issue has been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-1096

In cases where the publish process is interrupted (cancelled) while waiting for a semaphore to write into a contentrepository, additional information about the thread which last acquired that semaphore will now be logged.

Bugfix SUP-1056

Saving of pages that contain lot‘s of new links may take some time. During this time, the editor has no indication that the new links are currently processed and prepared to be saved. The behaviour has been changed now, so that a progress information is shown during page save and preparing new links to be saved is done much more efficient.

Bugfix SUP-918

The columns for storing dirt analysis information in the backend database sometimes where too small and have been extended now.

Bugfix SUP-1192

When using the GenticsImageStore for images published into the filesystem across nodes that share the same hostname or use a separate publish directory for binary contents, the resized images were not published into the correct paths. This could lead to errors in the publish process in cases of duplicate filenames. After this update, all published pages will be searched for images to be resized in order to correct incorrectly written resized images. This could cause the next publish run to take longer than usual.

Gentics Content.Node 5.20.1

Bugfix SUP-1114

Fixed the file/image usage overview always showing 0 for each count and an SQL error being logged.

Bugfix SUP-1086

Saving values with a large number of characters could result in an error. This has been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-754

Bugfix SUP-1003

For parts of type “File (Upload)”, the button to upload a new file was missing and has been readded.

Bugfix SUP-876

Links to an anchor on the current page will be made absolute by the browser when they are pasted or moved within the same page. Those absolute URLs will now be fixed during saving.

Bugfix SUP-1078

Fixed possible javascript error on the CMS start page.

Gentics Content.Node 5.20.0

Making object properties of templates or folders editable in pages is deprecated and will be removed in a future version. Implementations that rely on this feature should be changed by creating object property definitions for pages with the same name as the object properties of folders or templates.

Manual Change

Java 8 Update

Please update the used Java version to Server JRE 8u25 64 bit. Download the ‘Server JRE 8‘ package and extract it in e.g. /Node/. Update the /Node/java symlink to point to the new ‘Server JRE‘ directory. Restart the apache tomcat server once you finished this step using the /Node/bin/nodectl script.

Enhancement

A new Velocity directive #gtx_gis has been added, which allows using the GenticsImagesStore in a more reliable way. This is now the recommended way of using the GenticsImageStore. Please read the GenticsImageStore documentation for more information.

Enhancement

With the new Wastebin feature, deleted objects will be put into the wastebin instead of permanently deleting them. See the Wastebin Feature documentation for more details.

Enhancement

The feature list for nodes will now show more descriptive feature names.

Enhancement

The REST API has been enhanced:

It is now possible to restore and remove objects from the wastebin
When getting object lists, it is possible to include objects from the wastebin in the result
Objects in the wastebin will have additional information when returned via the REST API: User and timestamp of removal.
Objects returned via the REST API will now also contain their globalId

Gentics Content.Node 5.19.42

Documentation SUP-1701

The default values of the variables “langvars“ and “pagevars“ in the PageAPI of the GCN Javascript API were wrongly documented as “false”. This has been corrected.

When using instant publishing and publish handlers, the publish handlers were not called for deleted objects are pages that were taken offline. This has been fixed now.

Gentics Content.Node 5.19.31

Bugfix SUP-1124

When using the feature publish_cache, the property ttype for pages would resolve to
0 instead of 10007 during the publish process. This has been fixed now.

Gentics Content.Node 5.19.27

Security

A potential security issue, that was introduced with versions 5.18.31 and 5.19.25 has been fixed.

Gentics Content.Node 5.19.26

Bugfix SUP-787

When assigning permissions to groups, sometimes certain checkboxes were not filled correctly in some browsers. This has been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-1009

When a page was copied in a multichannelling environment, the copy was automatically disinherited from the channels, where the original page was localized. This has been fixed now. The copy will now have the same inheritance settings as the original page (if possible) and will only be further restricted, if it is copied into a folder with further restrictions.

Bugfix SUP-979

When saving pages with Aloha Editor, that contain links with empty HTML tags in them (like a
for instance), Internet Explorer would serialize those tags incorrectly (e.g. like
). The text of links will now always be transformed to xhtml (like the Aloha Editor dom-to-xhtml plugin would do it).

Bugfix SUP-806

When taking a page offline over the REST API, other pages will be checked for invalid links now.

Bugfix SUP-806

Automatic inbox messages that are generated when

A page is put into the publish queue
A page is published from the queue
A page might contain an invalid link, because the linked page was taken offline or deleted
will now be generated in the language of the recipient, not the sender.

Bugfix SUP-985

The initial timespan of log entries to be shown in the “Logs” view has been reduced from one hour to five minutes. This reduces the number of initially shown entries, especially if the user has no paging activated.

When using SiteMinder for SSO, the logged in user was always “anonymous” (without any permissions). This has been fixed now.

Gentics Content.Node 5.19.24

Bugfix SUP-964

Copying of pages in channels did not work due to an incorrect permission check, if the user was restricted to that channel. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-955

For implementations using their own jQuery Version, saving the page with Aloha Editor failed with a javascript error, when the page contained at least one anchor tag. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-977

When users with publish permission restricted to channels tried to publish pages out of the publish queue, this sometimes failed due to an incorrect permission check. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-974

When a page contained an anchor tag without href attribute, an error occurred while saving the page with Aloha Editor. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-941

When users where granted permission to view files/images through roles, these permissions were not considered during a recursive search for files/images (in the subfolders). This has been fixed now.

Gentics Content.Node 5.19.23

Enhancement

Enhanced the error handling of PHP errors. Catchable PHP errors will be also logged to the Gentics Content.Node error log now.

Bugfix SUP-826

When editing a page with Aloha Editor and changing an internal link to point to an external target, this change sometimes was not persisted when saving. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-881

When using an archive workflow to move deleted pages into an archive folder, and deleting a language variant of a page, the moved language variant was not completely detached from the other language variants, if the name of the moved page needed to be changed, because another page with that name already existed in the archive folder. Also the moved page was still locked after the operation. Both issues have been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-869

When creating tables or tags at the very beginning or end of an editable, an empty paragraph will also be added (which is automatically removed if not needed), so that the cursor can be set before or after the new tag or table. Before this fix, it was necessary to deactivate and activate the editable to get the empty paragraphs.

Bugfix SUP-933

Fixed a syntax error in the gcn-fileupload plugin that caused a JavaScript error with Internet Explorer in IE7-Mode.

Bugfix SUP-930

When the publish process failed during handling of time management, the process was marked as “OK” in the scheduler. This has been fixed now.

Gentics Content.Node 5.19.22

Bugfix SUP-635

When creating a new content tag that is named automatically, a name would be selected for it, although there is already a template tag by the same name, that is NOT editable in page. This name would typically be something like your_custom_tag1. This may cause confusion or even prevent a page from being saved in the backend. The new behavior is to only use automatically generated tag names, that are not used by any templatetags associated with any of the pagevariants using the content to be edited. Collisions may still occur if localizations of the template use a different set of templatetag names and there are no corresponding page localizations.

Bugfix SUP-664

When a page is opened for editing with Aloha Editor, lot‘s of redundant AJAX calls to the REST API were made to initialize the Editor. The number of calls has been reduced now, which will minimize the overall loading time, especially for pages that contain many editables and tags.

Bugfix SUP-857

If a page was opened for editing and the editing operation was then cancelled, the page would lose its disinheriting information. This could lead to publishing problems due to inheriting inconsistencies. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-819

Image manipulation 2: When used with a custom context path, the image would disappear from the editor after resize or crop operations. This was due to a broken link, which has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-896

When the process of changing the inheritance of folder structures failed with an unexpected error, it could happen that an inconsistent state was left behind. In such cases, the publish process could subsequently fail due to the data inconsistency. The error behaviour of changing the inheritance has been changed. In the case of an error, all changes will be undone and the previous (consistent) state will be restored.

Gentics Content.Node 5.19.21

When applying this update, the packaged Tomcat will be updated to version 7.0.61 which contains important security and bug fixes. You can delete the old Tomcat directory (/Node/apache-tomcat-7.0.54) after updating.

Documentation SUP-821

Added documentation for changing the page title of the CMS Backend

Bugfix SUP-781

When a page is modified because the tagtype of a template tag (editable in pages) was changed, this will no longer change the editor or edate of the page. Also if the page is republished in this process, the publisher and pdate will not change.

Bugfix SUP-802

When changing the language of a page in a node that does not have the original page language activated, replacing of the language code in the filename did not work. The new language code was just appended to the original one. This has been changed now: When changing the language of a page, the language code in the filename will now be replaced with the new one, even if the language is not activated in the node.

Bugfix SUP-670

It is now possible to view failed dirt events in the maintenance dialog. Failed dirt events can be removed from the dirtqueue or can be re-scheduled.

Bugfix SUP-761

When the backend apache uses the module modunique_id_ this can lead to unexpected behaviour like cms dialogues that cannot be openend, until the user‘s session is reset. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-506

The Gentics Content.Node Javascript API has been changed, so that TagAPI objects will no longer be cached. The _data of TagAPI objects always reference the tag data in their parent (e.g. a PageAPI object), so there is no need to cache the TagAPI object as well. This fixes problems caused by the PageAPI object being refreshed in the cache, while the TagAPI objects were not refreshed, which caused them to no longer reference the tag data of the PageAPI object. The result was that changes in the TagAPI object were no longer reflected in the PageAPI object and saving the page would unintentionally restore old tag values.

Bugfix SUP-767

When editing object properties of a template or folder, the actions to make the object properties editable in pages where missing. They have been added again.

Gentics Content.Node 5.19.20

Bugfix SUP-795

The attribute name data-gcn-constructname, that exists for editing pages with the aloha editor was renamed to data-gcn-i18n-constructname. It contains the internationalized tagtype name of a tag.

Gentics Content.Node 5.19.19

Bugfix SUP-792

When creating nested object properties, the inner tag was only visible, if it was filled at least once, even if the tagtype had the option “auto-enabled” switched on. This has been fixed now. However, this will only affect new created nested object properties. Already existing object properties, that are not visible need to be filled once.

Bugfix SUP-757

Links to internal pages or files that were entered with their internal URL will now correctly be transformed to tags pointing to the internal objects, instead of saving the URLs. This fixes incorrect saving of links with their internal URLs.

Bugfix SUP-774

Make the shrinktofit option for the jqGrid (the object list) in the repository browser configurable. This option can be used to make the repository browsers width bigger on smaller screens while keeping the benefits of the dynamic resizing of the column widths.

Bugfix SUP-560

Some icons have been added to the “Page” menu.

Bugfix SUP-791

Fixed nested “intag“ object properties not being copied to subfolders when using the backend “Apply to subfolders“ or the Rest API “tagsToSubfolders” option.

Gentics Content.Node 5.19.18

Bugfix SUP-783

When saving a page using the REST API, the status will always be set to 0 (being edited), regardless of the status flag in the posted page object.

Bugfix SUP-768

gcnfileupload-plugin: Added translations for several hardcoded german UI-elements.

Bugfix SUP-772

gcnfileupload-plugin: The upload form is now reset before every use.

Bugfix SUP-773

The names of custom columns of the repository browser can now be translated into the CMS language.

Gentics Content.Node 5.19.16

Manual Change

The implementation of the “Aloha Link” Tagtype needs to be updated.

When linking to images (using the Aloha Link Plugin), the display of the link target in the toolbar was incorrect. The internal URL to the image was shown instead of the filename. The fix for this also requires an update of the implementation of the “Aloha Link“ Tagtype (keyword: “gtxalohapagelink”), according to the code in the Aloha Page Link Tag Description.

Security SUP-34

A vulnerability of the GenticsImageStore in the CMS backend has been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-405

The creation of unique filenames during fileupload sometimes failed to distinguish filenames that only were different in case. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-746

When more than one handler subscribed the channel “tag.rendered”, the behaviour was unexpected: # If all handlers passed a modiied html to the callback only one of the changes was accepted # When saving a page, that contained at least two new links, not all of the links were correctly transformed to tags.
The behaviour has been fixed now. Saving pages with multiple new links works as expected and each handler will get the html, which was returned by the previous handler, so that the modifications will be cumulated and the last return html will be taken as html of the rendered tag.

Bugfix SUP-762

The page icon used to display the language in the assistant frame was different for page preview and page properties. Now, for all operations the same icon is used to display the language in the assistant.

Bugfix SUP-674

The permission checks on the publish queue did not consider channel restrictions correctly. Users could see pages in the queue for all channels (but could not view the pages or approve publishing). The permission check in the queue has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-672

When users with permissions restricted to channels changed the binary content of channel local files, they received an error message (missing permission), although the file upload worked. This has been fixed now.

Gentics Content.Node 5.19.15

Documentation SUP-665

Content.Repositories using deprecated attribute types will now be marked in the list of Content.Repositories. Also the attributes using deprecated types will be marked in the tagmap editor. Additionally, the Gentics Content.Node Guides now contain a migration guide for changing attribute types in Content.Repositories with minimal downtime of the frontend implementation.

Bugfix SUP-687

When parts of a construct have to be replaced (i.e. some parts have to be removed and other have to be added) while importing, this could lead to incorrectly filled default values for such constructs. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-654

When using SSO with CAS or JOSSO, the user‘s sessions would be reset on every login. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-710

Users with permissions restricted to channels were not allowed to create local folders in their channels. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-102

Files that have no mimetype set (e.g. due to an error during the upload), will now be visible in the backend and be marked as “broken”.

Bugfix SUP-341

When closing a tagfill dialog in IE >= 9 no cursor was shown when clicking into another editable. This has been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-686

The pageusage count for pages used in pagetags of other pages was always 0 due to an incorrect SQL statement. Additionally, the error “Error while getting usageinfo for pages” was logged in the server‘s log. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-679

The entry “Save” in the related links (in the assistant frame) of the page preview has been removed, because it suggested, that the page had not been saved properly.

Bugfix SUP-710

Copying a page into a channel local folder was not possible and has been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-562

When changing the inheritance takes longer than normal (default is 5 seconds), the user will be informed and the process will be continued in the background.

Bugfix SUP-629

When editing a page with aloha editor using an older version of Internet Explorer (like IE9), clicking on menu items with unsaved changes in editables would warn the user twice about unsaved changes. When clicking on a menu item of the “page“ top menu, the page was saved, even if the user approved to leave the page with unsaved changes (twice). The behaviour has been changed now: when clicking on a “page” menu item, the page will be saved before the action is triggered. When clicking on another menu item (navigating away from the edited page), the user will get one notification about leaving the page with unsaved changes.

Bugfix SUP-101

When the tag definition of a template was changed and the change was synchronized with the pages, this could lead to database locks if users tried to lock the same pages. This has been fixed now, users trying to lock pages currently changed by the synchronization will get the page in readonly mode.

Bugfix SUP-562

When changing the inheritance of folder structures takes longer (because many objects and/or many channels are affected), this could interfere with a publish process running at the same time. It could happen that the publish process would fail due to a database lock wait timeout. This has been fixed.

Gentics Content.Node 5.19.14

Bugfix SUP-602

Fixed an Internal Error while importing a modified tagtype, if the type of a part in the tagtype had been modified.

Bugfix SUP-507

When publishing a node and its channels into the filesystem, and when localizing pages, the former inherited pages were sometimes not correctly removed from the filesystem of the channel. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-668

In multichannelling environments, it was not possible to create a new page in a localized folder in a channel. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-656

When a page was saved with only changes in the content, the status of the page was not changed to “being edited”. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-515

Fixed wrong proxy prefix for Gentics-Imagestore-URLs in frontend editing.

Bugfix SUP-644

Users with the permission to create pages restricted to channels, could not create pages in those channels, because the permission check was done incorrectly. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-430

When an editor without publish permission tried to publish a page, all users of parent groups with publish permission were notified, even if the users were restricted to channels and were not allowed to see and publish the page in question. This has been fixed now: The node restriction is now considered when notifying users about pages to be published.

Bugfix SUP-448

Previously, when clicking pages in the history, the CMS would under certain circumstances not open the intended page, display an error message or in rare cases create a translation. Now, exactly the specified page will be opened, as listed in the history (same language version, same channel).

Bugfix SUP-661

When users were restricted to channels, they could not create local folders in their channels due to an incorrect permission check. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix

Previously, when using the language menu while a page is opened, the CMS would under certain circumstances display a page of the wrong language or even an error message. Now, the page is always either displayed in the chosen language, or the language doesn‘t change if the selected language version of the current page does not exist and the user is not allowed to create it.

Bugfix SUP-610

When fetching an object via the REST API in edit mode, tags that were inactive, but should become active when edited were marked as being “inactive“. When the fetched object was saved back (without any changes), the tags would be set to “inactive“. This has been changed, so that tags in that state will now be marked as being “active”, if the object is fetched in edit mode.

Bugfix SUP-653

In multichannelling environments, it was not possible to create a file in a folder that was inherited in a channel, if the folder was localized in another channel. Also copying of pages in such folders failed. Both issues have been fixed now.

Gentics Content.Node 5.19.13

Enhancement SUP-519

When editing a page, the tool-tip of a tag now shows the tag keyword and the tagtype name instead of only the tag keyword.

Bugfix SUP-274

Errors that happen while rendering velocity tags will now contain more descriptive information in the server log. The name and ID of the page and tag will be logged now.

Bugfix SUP-241

CAS: Fixed CAS-services not being accesible via HTTPS by adding a new $CAS_SSO[‘curlOptions‘] option that allows the configuration of CURL SSL. Read the “CAS – Central Authentication Service” page in the documentation for more information.

Bugfix SUP-585

Fixed NullPointerException when comparing page versions in a master node with multichanneling.

Bugfix SUP-605

When importing templates that contained tags, where the values had been changed, under special cirvumstances, the new values were not imported correctly. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-586

When using a workflow to move deleted objects into an “Archive“ node, moving did not work when the user did not have permission to move the object into the “Archive”. This has been fixed now. When the moving is done from a workflow, no permission checks will be done for this operation.

Bugfix SUP-588

Fix property “fullPath” of repository items for correct display in sidebar.

Bugfix SUP-522

When opening a page in preview mode of aloha editor, the history entry created in the assistant frame showed the normal page icon, but would open the page in edit mode. This has been fixed now: only opening a page in edit mode will create a history entry showing the edit icon, that will open the page in edit mode again.

Bugfix SUP-558

Sometimes, CSS settings of aloha editor plugins did not overwrite the core aloha editor CSS settings (due to a loading order problem), which could cause indeterministic layout problems. This has been fixed now, the core aloha editor CSS settings will now always be loaded before the plugin CSS settings, in order to allow the plugin CSS settings to overwrite the core settings.

Bugfix SUP-556

If the user changes the page filename and the new filename has no file extension, the changed filename does not have the markup language extension of the page template after saving the changes. This bug was introduced with this feature release (5.19). This has been fixed, to match the behaviour of previous releases.

Bugfix SUP-569

When a bundle was imported, the globalid of the bundle was always considered to be an empty string. For this reason, all export files were considered to belong to the same bundle during the import. This has been fixed now. Additionally, an SGB in the display of the import history details has been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-566

A possible NullPointerException during the import has been fixed.

Gentics Content.Node 5.19.12

Documentation SUP-524

The documentation of the feature Copy Tags has been enhanced to include configuration settings, that are necessary for the feature to work.

Bugfix SUP-552

The globalprefix stored in the database would not be updated when the license file was changed. This was a regression from 5.19.3.

Bugfix SUP-70

When using the global tagtype migration, an error message was always shown. This has been fixed now.

Gentics Content.Node 5.19.11

Security SUP-323

The permissions of object properties are now also respected by the GCN Rest API when loading or saving objects.

Security SUP-323

Permissions: When a group had permissions on an object, and all permission were removed, the permission cache was not refreshed and the group still had the previous permissions. This only happened when all permissions to an object were removed.

Bugfix SUP-434

Fixed newly introduced error with bugfix SUP-434 in the previous hotfix. The overview wizard could start with page 1 even if the user already made all the selections on page 1.

Bugfix SUP-434

Overview tags in pages: When editing new overview tags in pages the wizard started wrongly with page 2 when no selection was made for the object type or the selection type in page 1. This has been fixed. The wizard will now start correctly with page one if any selection is possible and hasn‘t been made.

Bugfix SUP-370

REST-API: When copying a contenttag, using page/newtag, the operation would fail for some content tags.

Bugfix SUP-187

The algorithm to check whether a new page version must be created and to create the page version used many sql statements and therefore was inefficient. This algorithm has been changed now to be more efficient, especially when no page version must be created. This will affect actions like:

Locking the page for editing
Saving a page (with or without changes)
Publishing a page

Bugfix SUP-323

Fixed object properties not being deleted, when passing their name in the “delete” list of the PageResource.save Rest API method.

Bugfix SUP-456

When editing a page using Aloha Editor with Internet Explorer, and adding new links to the page, the click on “Save” in the assistant frame showed a message, informing the user that he was about to leave the page with unsaved changes. This has been fixed now. Additionally, when saving a page that contained new links, some additional AJAX calls to the backend were done (in the background), which caused saving to be slower than necessary. Those AJAX calls have been reduced to the necessary minimum.

Bugfix SUP-480

When copying pages took longer than the configured timeout (due to high load on the server, number of copied pages or overall system performance), the user got an SGB, which suggested that copying failed, which was not the case. This has been fixed now: When copying pages takes longer than 5 seconds, the user will get a message, that the process will be continued in the background. Once copying is done, the user will receive an instant message. Additionally, when copying using the REST API, it is now possible to specify the maximum “foreground” time in milliseconds. The default value is 0, which will block the call until copying is done (which is the old behaviour).

Bugfix SUP-187

The process of saving a page has been optimized to avoid unnecessary checks, if only content, but no metadata was changed.

Bugfix SUP-187

When defining the tags in a template, it is now possible to save an updated list of tags without synchronizing the pages (by clicking the ‘Apply‘ button) or to save and synchronize the pages (by clicking the new ‘Apply and synchronize pages‘ button). Additionally, if errors occur (e.g. because some pages are currently locked by other users), the whole synchronization process does not fail (and has to be repeated), but all pages, that can be synchronized will be synchronized. If the action is triggered again (by clicking ‘Apply and synchronize pages‘ without actually changing the tag definitions, the remaining pages will be synchronized. Additionally, there is now an additional view (“Tagstate” via the template‘s top menu) that will show, how many pages are in sync or out of sync with the template regarding the editable tag definitions.

Bugfix SUP-473

Fixed output of error log message caused by debug output when rendering tags for publishing.

Bugfix SUP-401

When editing a page with Aloha Editor, the following editing actions would lead to unexpected behaviour:

Remove a tag from an editable, where the tag itself contains an editable
Create a new tag of the same type in the editable in a way, that the new tag would get the same name as the one deleted before
Open the tagfill dialog to fill some data into the new tag
Close the tagfill dialog with the “Ok” button
Reopen the tagfill dialog of the new tag

Following these steps, the tagfill dialog would now be empty (not showing the data entered before). This problem has been fixed now, so that editing pages in the way described above will work as expected.

Bugfix SUP-530

The migration job for globalids to uuids has been made more failsafe. Before the old tables are removed, a final check will be done, whether all data has been migrated completely. Additionally, the migration process will now be done in batches to reduce the memory consumption in the database for every single update statement.

Bugfix SUP-479-SUP-488

Changed Contentrepository DB connection pool to be more resilient in cases of reset DB Connections.

Bugfix SUP-387

When editing a page with Aloha Editor and an editable only contained a table, it was not possible to add content before or after the table. This has been fixed now: When the editable is activated, paragraphs will be created as landing areas for the cursor.

Bugfix SUP-418

It is now possible to change the synchronization mechanism for objects, that need to be removed from a content repository also for non-multichannelling aware contentrepository from the default differential synchronization to a full synchronization. Using the full synchronization is slower than the differential approach but is less error prone.

Gentics Content.Node 5.19.9

Bugfix SUP-454

When custom columns were configured for the gcn-linkbrowser plugin, the display of thumbnails in the repository browser did not work any more. This has been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-407

Bug in GenticsImageStore Cache: When replacing a resized image in a page that is embedded with a GIS URL, the original resized image was still visible. This has been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-309

Some problems with copying or importing templates in the backend have been fixed:

When a template was copied into a folder of a node (not a channel), it was internally marked as belonging to a channel. This could subsequently lead to erros during the publish process.
When templates that were incorrectly bound to a channel were exported and imported into another system,
they were incorrectly bound to a channel on the target system as well.
When a template was copied into the same folder in a channel, it was copied into the master instead.

This update will also correct incorrectly bound templates in the database.

Bugfix SUP-306

It is now possible to grant/revoke permission for viewing and setting the inheritance of objects in specific nodes or channels. Initially, the permission flag will be set to all groups, that have permission to view nodes.

Bugfix SUP-428

For images having the mimetype “image/x-png” no thumbnails were generated in the backend, which has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-450

When saving a page that contained a tag using one of the list parts (List, List (unordered), List (ordered)) the entries of the list part were merged into a single entry. The same happened, when migrating such a page with the tagtype migration, if at least one post processor was used. This has been fixed now.

Gentics Content.Node 5.19.8

Bugfix SUP-307

Copying a tagmap entry between contentrepositories would fail unconditionally.

Bugfix SUP-226

Fixed a NullpointerException when importing a page that could occur under rare circumstances.

Bugfix SUP-278

Comparing Page Versions did not work correctly with Pages in localized Folders. This has been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-310

Copying of nodes was broken due to some classes, that were removed but still referenced in an internal configuration. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-361-SUP-364

Connections from the database connection pool are now tested before being used.

Bugfix SUP-56

Multiple bugs fixed in page publishing:

page.languages now only returns online pages during publishing.
References to non-published language variants would be added in the content repository. Now, only online language variants get references in the content repository.
References to deleted pages would not get removed from the content repository. The fix adds dependencies for referenced pages. Affected pages must be re-published for the problem to be solved.

Gentics Content.Node 5.19.7

Bugfix SUP-297

In some cases an error could occur when accessing the CMS directly after an update has been applied. The error occurred because some mandatory tasks for i18n support were not completed.
This i18n support task was redesigned in order to avoid such problems in the future.

Bugfix SUP-285

Fixed accidentally cutting off a filename extension when uploading a new file. If the user changes the filename when uploading a new file in the CMS and the new filename has no filename extension, then the original filename extension of the input file is attached to the new filename.

Gentics Content.Node 5.19.6

Documentation SUP-170

When a tagtype contains an velocity tagpart that is editable it could lead to side effects. Improved the documentation, so that making a velocity tagpart editable is now discouraged, as it is also not supported.

Bugfix SUP-174

Implemented a workaround for the Internet Explorer 10 and 11 frame rendering issues with different document modes. GCN will force a redraw of content frames from now on in order to prevent issues with empty pages. Also fixed the upper page frame in the “translate to” page sometimes being invisible or too small.

Bugfix SUP-137

Sometimes, the tree shown to select the target folder for copying pages was rendered incompletely. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-269

Improved logging output in context of an inconsistency in multichanneling when a localized object does not have a master object.

Bugfix SUP-46

When the localized copy of a page was taken offline, instant publishing would replace the page with the inherited page, instead of completely removing it from the content repository. Only the next regular publish run would correct this and remove the page from the content repository. This has been fixed now, so that instant publishing will correctly remove the page.

Bugfix SUP-243

The failure behaviour and logging of the publish process has been improved, in cases where committing the content repository transactions at the end of the publish process fails.

Gentics Content.Node 5.19.5

Bugfix SUP-42

When a contentrepository was imported, the foreignlink attribute rule of an already existing tagmap entry would not be overwritten, if it was changed. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-98

Creating a page variant in multichannelling environments with localized language versions would sometimes fail or introduce consistency problems to the newly created page variant.

Gentics Content.Node 5.19.4

Bugfix SUP-164

Fixed possible NPE when checking data in contentrepositories

Bugfix SUP-59

Fixed documentation of AuthenticationResource to describe the proper parameters for the validate method.

Bugfix SUP-73

When multiple requests to translate a given page into a specific language were sent at the same time (or in a way that a new request was sent before the previous request returned), it was possible that multiple language variants in the requested language were created for the same page. Only one of the language variants was visible in the backend, but possibly both were published. This has been fixed now. Translating pages will now be synchronized (per page), so that multiple parallel requests will only create a single language variant, which will be returned by all of those requests.

Gentics Content.Node 5.19.3

Warning: potential downtime!
This update includes some major changes to the backend database. The changes will be done during the first Tomcat startup after the update has been installed. Depending on the size of the backend database, configuration settings and overall system performance, this may last very long (up to several hours) during which the system will not be available to users. Errors during the migration process will be logged in the server log and will cause the Tomcat to not start properly See Bugfix RT58702 for further details.

Bugfix RT58702

The generation and internal storage of global IDs in the backend database has been changed:

global IDs are no longer stored in a separate table ‘mappedglobalid‘, but are stored in columns ‘uuid‘ of the tables, that need to have global IDs
new generated global IDs will be constructed as [globalprefix].[UUID] where [globalprefix] consists of the first four characters of the systems license key and [UUID] is a UUID
The tables ‘mappedglobalid‘ and ‘mappedglobalidsequence‘ are no longer needed and are dropped (after the relevant data is migrated to the columns [table].uuid

This change will be done during the system startup after this update and might take some time (depending on the size of the database and the overall system performance).
It is strongly recommended to make a backup of the system before doing the update.
The new generation and storage of global IDs fixes the following problems:

Inserting into a very large table mappedglobalid could cause performance problems affecting the whole system (due to locks)
Separation of global IDs from the data records could easily lead to inconsistencies
If an older version of table mappedlobalidsequence was restored (e.g. from a backup), already existing global IDs could be re-generated. This could lead to problems if data from the state before restoring the backup was exported.
Different systems using the same license key would create identical global IDs, belonging to different objects. Since global IDs basically are UUIDs the chance of duplicates is minimal.

However, there are some drawbacks:

It is not possible to import data into a system with the old global IDs (that does not have this change), if the data was exported from a system with the new global IDs.
Migrating the existing data might take a while (but of course this is only done once).

Bugfix SUP-77

Moving files/images across channel trees would always return an error message.

Bugfix SUP-84

SVG images could not be exchanged in the image properties page. This has been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-76

Deleting one or more files caused an error if a workflow is activated that moves deleted files to another folder. This has been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-77

Fixed potential inheritance restriction consistency problem when moving pages between channels.

Bugfix RT58697

Recursively setting permissions or setting object properties might take longer and run into a timeout. In such cases, it was not perfectly clear to the user, what happened and if the requested action was successfully performed. The processes have been changed now, so that if setting the permissions or the object properties recursively takes longer than some seconds, it will be sent to the background. The user will get a message that the process is continued in the background and will get an instant message when the process is completed.

Bugfix SUP-78

When moving folder structures within master nodes of multichannelling environments, all channel local objects in that structure were pushed to the master node as well. This has been changed now. Objects within moved folder structures will now only be moved between channels, if this is necessary to maintain channel integrity.
Example:

Folder A is moved from the master node to a channel (of the same master node).
Page B in Folder A, which belonged to the master node is also moved to the channel (because it cannot belong to the master, when the folder does not belong to the master).
Page C in Folder A, which belonged to the channel is not moved (already belongs to the target channel).
Page D in Folder A, which belonged to a subchannel is also not moved, because it does not violate the channel integrity.

Bugfix RT58761

REST-API: Removed unused “folder” field from FolderCreateRequest. This prevents a JsonMappingException in the Java REST client.

Bugfix SUP-88

Fixed possible NPE when saving pages containing empty overviews

Bugfix RT58739

Running the purgeversions could possibly remove a page version, even if the content was still used by another page variant, if the page variants were not in sync. This could lead to pages being published completely empty. This has been fixed now. If any pages having page variants lack their published page version and are therefore published completely empty, they must be published again to correct the page version.

Bugfix RT58618

When an object is not changed during an import, because the local copy is identical to the imported version, the import details list will now show ‘unchanged‘ instead of ‘ignored‘ as import action. Additionally, the import details list will now also show conflicts, that existed during the import and the individual conflict setting for the imported objects.

Gentics Content.Node 5.19.2

Optional Manual Change

Java 8 Runtime Support

Java 8 JRE support for Gentics Content.Node 5.17.x and newer was added. You can update the used Java version to Server JRE 8u25 64 bit by downloading the ‘Server JRE 8‘ package and extracting it in e.g. /Node/. Update the /Node/java symlink to point to the new ‘Server JRE‘ directory. Restart the Apache Tomcat server once you finished this step using the /Node/bin/nodectl script.
Please note that is change is optional and can be omitted.

Documentation RT58712

Corrected paths for cleaning up unneccesary directories when performing the RHEL GCN package migration

Bugfix RT58735

Fixed accidentally cutting off a filename extension. If a filename is changed in the CMS in the file properties and the new filename has no filename extension, then the previous filename extension (if any) is attached to the new filename.

Gentics Content.Node 5.19.1

Bugfix RT58713

Fixed curl printing debug output to error.log when the PHP curl extension is enabled.

Bugfix RT58651

The assignment of languages to nodes was imported with the language, but not with the node:

if only the language was imported (without nodes), the node assignment was modified to match the assignment of the source system
if only the node was imported (without languages), the language assignment was not modified
if a new node was imported, that had a new language assigned, the language was not assigned to the node

The behaviour has been changed now, so that the language assignment is changed, when the node is imported.

Bugfix RT58617

Changing a datasource with an import failed to dirt dependent objects. This has been fixed now. If the import changes entries of a datasource, dependent objects will be dirted.

Bugfix RT58672

The memory consumption of the timetrigger script (used for time based workflows) has been reduced.

Gentics Content.Node 5.19.0

Aloha Editor Change Summary
The Aloha Editor textcolor plugin now allows you to set the background-color of text.
See the Aloha Editor Changelog for detailed information.

The import2 and export2 features are now enabled by default. The older import/export implementation is no longer supported and can‘t be used any longer.

Manual Change

The old Live Editor has been removed and can‘t be used anymore for editing pages. We recommend migrating your projects to Aloha Editor, otherwise inline-editing will not be possible anymore. Details about the editor migration can be found in the guides. Remove the following setting in your node.main.conf: $FEATURE[“superedit_page”] = true;

Feature RT58501

Image support enhancement: In older versions, only files that are supported by the Gentics Image Store were handled as images and put into the list of images in folders. This had the downside that their mimetype was set to “application/octet-stream“. This caused problems with some image types likes .svg because the browser couldn‘t display the image because of the wrong mimetype. Now all images that have a mimetype starting with “image/” will also be listed as images by GCN. Additional a notice will be displayed to the users when they try to select an image in the repository browser (image tags) that is maybe not supported by all browsers. When updating to this version, files that have already been uploaded in older versions will NOT be changed.

Feature RT58656

It is now possible to configure the default value for the IE Standards mode for all pages in the CMS. The X-UA-Compatible Header, that is added to every page per default, can now be set to a different value than “IE=7“. For configuration see the description of the feature “X-UA-Compatible Header Content” in the guides.

Enhancement KB2086

The new command line tool GlobalIdSync allows synchronization of global IDs of tagtypes, datasources and object property definitions between systems in order to be able to import those objects from one system to the other without creating unwanted duplicates.

Enhancement

The REST API has been extended:

/folder/move/{id} for moving a single folder
/folder/move for moving multiple folders
/page/move/{id} for moving a single page
/page/move for moving multiple pages
/file/move/{id} for moving a single file
/file/move for moving multiple files
/image/move/{id} for moving a single image
/image/move for moving multiple images

Enhancement KB2089

When migrating tags for a single page and selecting the option Apply this migration to ALL pages using this page's template. there is now a new option Apply this migration to ALL nodes. If the new option is selected, all pages of all nodes will be migrated, not only the pages in the same node as the original page.

Enhancement KB2089

The Migration Tool now allows global tag type migrations that affect all objects of the selected types. See the Gentics Content.Node Guides for details.

Enhancement RT58648

Added a new default blue Gentics stream for the login mask and the top header background.

Enhancement

The feature “multichannelling” has been enhanced, so that the inheritance of objects can now be configured.

Objects can be excluded from inheritance
Objects can be removed from selected channels

Please consult the Gentics Infoportal for further details.

Bugfix RM14644

Fixed the WebDAV fileuploader saving files with the wrong mimetype. Example: “image/png; charset=binary“ instead of “image/png”. The mimetypes of already uploaded files will be corrected in the database when updating.

Gentics Content.Node 5.18.49

Documentation SUP-1701

The default values of the variables “langvars“ and “pagevars“ in the PageAPI of the GCN Javascript API were wrongly documented as “false”. This has been corrected.

Gentics Content.Node 5.18.45

Documentation SUP-1294

The documentation of the feature Publish Cache now contains a note about when the Publish Cache needs to be cleared and how this can be done.

Bugfix SUP-1485

When publishing pages - using the publish cache - with tags where the Tagtype has been deleted, an error message was printed to the log file. This error has been removed.

Bugfix SUP-1323

When a node was deleted, the entries in the publish table for pages of that node were left behind. Such entries will now be removed at the start of every publish process.

Bugfix SUP-1399

When using the feature publish_cache, the publish process used too much memory which probably caused OutOfMemory errors. This has been fixed now.

When editing a page with Aloha Editor, the following editing actions would lead to unexpected behaviour:

Remove a tag from an editable, where the tag itself contains an editable
Create a new tag of the same type in the editable in a way, that the new tag would get the same name as the one deleted before
Open the tagfill dialog to fill some data into the new tag

Bug in GenticsImageStore Cache: When replacing a resized image in a page that is embedded with a GIS URL, the original resized image was still visible. This has been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-309

Some problems with copying or importing templates in the backend have been fixed:

When a template was copied into a folder of a node (not a channel), it was internally marked as belonging to a channel. This could subsequently lead to erros during the publish process.
When templates that were incorrectly bound to a channel were exported and imported into another system,
they were incorrectly bound to a channel on the target system as well.
When a template was copied into the same folder in a channel, it was copied into the master instead.

This update will also correct incorrectly bound templates in the database.

page.languages now only returns online pages during publishing.
References to non-published language variants would be added in the content repository. Now, only online language variants get references in the content repository.

Bugfix RT58651

The assignment of languages to nodes was imported with the language, but not with the node:

if only the language was imported (without nodes), the node assignment was modified to match the assignment of the source system
if only the node was imported (without languages), the language assignment was not modified
if a new node was imported, that had a new language assigned, the language was not assigned to the node

The behaviour has been changed now, so that the language assignment is changed, when the node is imported.

Gentics Content.Node 5.18.10

Bugfix RT58592

Fixed a bug in the import system with folders that got moved to another node. When a folder that is in the import file, already exists on the target system, but has been moved to another node on the source system, the node information for some folders would be inconsistent in the database in some cases. This caused some folders to not show up anymore in the tree because their parent folder couldn‘t be opened anymore. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT58676

When creating a folder, the role permissions were not inherited from the parent folder. This has been fixed.

Bugfix RT58663

The version of the library commons-dbcp has been updated from 1.2.1 to 1.2.2 which includes a fix for https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DBCP-64. This bug caused database connections to content repositories, that were fetched from the pool and died (e.g. because the server was not reachable any more) not being returned into the pool. This subsequently caused the pool to exhaust and the publish process to fail, until the tomcat was restarted.

Bugfix RT58544

When editing a page with Aloha Editor in Internet Explorer (up to version 10 or in IE7 Mode), saving the page by clicking “Save” in the main menu, the user got a warning about leaving the page with unsaved changes.

Copying pages in multichannelling environments did not work as expected:

When copying a page in a channel into the same folder, the page was copied into the master node (instead of into the channel)
When copying a page having localized copies from a channel, the master pages were copied not the page variants actually visible in the channel

Those issues have been fixed now.

A rendering issue in IE 10 can cause blank pages to be rendered when using framesets. Adjusted the browser compatibility list and the “disableIE7StandardsMode” feature description.

Bugfix KB2086

The handling of datasource part types (single selection, multiselect, ...) during export and import has been improved to correctly preserve the selection in tags even in rare situations, where the internal id of datasource entries might be different between the source and target system.
It is important to note, that for the improved behaviour both the source and target system must be updated.

Bugfix RT58556

In some implementations, when editing a page in a channel with frontend editing, an SGB could occur when opening the tagfill dialog, if the user had edit permissions restricted to that channel due to incorrect checking of permissions. This has been fixed now, the edit permissions in the tagfill dialog will now always be checked for the page‘s channel.

Bugfix RT58538

When a page contains an image and the user has no page/image/file viewing permissions but only permissions for viewing the folder of the image, the user was not shown any useful error message. Instead the admin got an error log message. Now the user gets an error message indicating that he has no page/image/file viewing permissions in the folder of the image in the page, so that he can contact an group administrator to add the permissions. When editing the page, the user could change the image to another image in the folder that he has no page/image/file viewing permissions. Listing pages and images without said permissions was also possible via the REST-Api. This has been fixed so that the user cannot list images of a folder he has no permission to.

Bugfix RT58601

A rare error in the feature resumablepublish_process_, which could cause the publish process to fail, has been fixed.

Bugfix RT58659

Changes to group memberships didn‘t update cached user objects, so the changes wouldn‘t show up in the user/me REST-call. This has been fixed.

Bugfix RT58620

In rare cases, importing a new template could fail with an “Internal error”, because the folder, where the template was originally created did not exist any more. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT58657

Under some circumstances a defective object (e.g. a folder) would be stored in the cache which would prevent it from being listed or otherwise found in the context of multichannelling.

Gentics Content.Node 5.18.6

Bugfix RT58613

Some bugs in the sanitize name feature have been fixed:

When changing the standard configuration the form validation when creating a page or editing the page properties was wrong and a wrong error message was shown. Now this form validation is turned off for all custom configurations.
When creating a page, the page filename was truncated to the maximum filename length only BEFORE the sanitizing. Due to the character replacement in the sanitizing the filename could get longer. When translating a page the new filename was cut correctly, resulting in a different filename length.
When creating a page with a page filename that exceeds the maximum filename length, the language abbreviation could be deleted from the filename.
When translating a page with a page filename that exceeds the maximum filename length, the filename could be wrongly truncated if the filename contains a dot “.”.

Bugfix RT58613

Sanitize filename feature: Fixed the hint message being shown, even if the feature is properly configured. Fixed handling of filenames containing dots. Fixed sanitizing of the filename extension.

Security

SSL Security Advisory
The POODLE attack (PaddingOracleOnDowngradedLegacyEncryption) allows to steal “secure” HTTP cookies when SSL 3.0 is being used.

CVE-2014-3566

Bugfix RT58589

When creating folders over the REST API, the inheritable object tags from the mother folder were not automatically set for the new created folder. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT58573

When generating a filename from the page name, the result was empty, if the name contained only whitespace characters. Also, a filename that begins with a dot could cause problems. This has been fixed, so that in both cases the filename will begin with “1” instead.
The ‘sanitize names‘ feature now allows the configuration of the standard replacement character. Also the list of allowed characters can be extended. See: Sanitize names

Bugfix RT58539

When creating pages from within the todo tool, the language was not correctly set, if the Node, the user had visited last, did not have that language activated. This has been fixed now, the language will now be checked against the languages of the Node, where the page is created.

Bugfix RT58561

Some issues of export and import of channel structures have been fixed.
For these fixes, it is important that both the source and target system are update to the newest version of GCN, before doing the export and import.

When importing a master node together with at least one channel, that contained at least one localized folder, into a system, where neither of the nodes already existed, it could happen, that the import failed with an “Internal error“.
When exporting a master with channel and subchannel, it could happen that the this channel structure was not imported correctly.
When resolving a conflict with behaviour “copy“, some parts of the new created object possibly had the same global IDs as the
imported object, which could lead to “Internal errors“ in subsequent imports.
When resolving a conflict with behaviour “copy” and then doing another import of the same bundle, the conflict
would not be detected again, which could lead to unwanted overwriting of the local object.

Bugfix RT58570

In some situations, dirting of folders upon changed object properties might not work, because a new object tag object had been created since the folder was last published. Storing of dependencies has been improved to be insensitive against such situations. It is important to note, that this change will only affect objects, that are republished after this update.

Bugfix RT58574

Editing pages with Aloha Editor: When using the method addDeleteButton() to add delete buttons to blocks, that contain nested blocks, the delete button was also attached to the nested blocks. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT58531

When an editor without permission to publish a page tried to publish a page that was missing some mandatory tags, the page would be put into the queue nevertheless. This is incorrect, the check for missing mandatory tags has to be done before putting the page into the queue. The behaviour has been changed now, so that it is not possible to put a page into the queue, if it is missing mandatory tags.

Bugfix RT58544

When an editor using Aloha Editor on Internet Explorer tried to leave the edited page (e.g. by clicking into the tree) with unsaved changes, a confirm message was shown, whether the changes should be saved before leaving the page. However, saving never worked, regardless of whether “OK“ or “Cancel” was clicked. Since it is not possible to save the page in an asynchronous call when leaving the page (the browser just would not issue the asynchronous save request), the behaviour when just leaving the page with unsaved changes has now been unified for all browsers: The user will get a notification message, explaining that unsaved changes would be lost when leaving the page.

Bugfix RT58564

Fixed a SGB error that occured in some cases, when trying to upload a new file in the tag fill dialog.

Bugfix RT58589

Creating new folders in the backend sometimes produced an SGB due to duplicate object tags. The folder was created in the DB, but caches were not properly cleared, which caused some problems afterwards. This has been fixed now, duplicate object tags will be ignored now.

Bugfix RT58599

The tree used to select the target folders when copying pages internally used too many requests to the REST API. This has been fixed now, which will reduce the render times for the tree.

Bugfix RT58599

Some errors, that occurred while rendering the tree will be logged now.

Bugfix RT58537

Image Manipulation: The error “include imagemanipulation2 not found.” which showed up in the error log but had no functional consequence was fixed.

Bugfix RT58557

In the previous bugfix RT58305, a background job that deletes broken content tags was added. However when a broken tag was found it caused the Tomcat to wrongly block the startup due to a not logged error. The error handling of background jobs has also been improved.

Bugfix RT58572

When content repositories, that have instant publishing enabled are not available, this might affect the whole system. With some new configuration options, it is possible to have instant publishing temporarily disabled in case of availability problems. See Instant Publishing in the Guides for details.

Bugfix RT58067

The import of pages will now give more explicit error messages (in the server log) when the process fails due to data inconsistencies.

Bugfix RT58596

When publishing into a non MCCR content repository and not using multithreaded publishing, the motherid of an object sometimes would not be updated after the object had been moved to another folder. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT58566

Saving the tag definitions of a template possibly takes some time, because it could affect many pages. This could lead to a timeout in the request, which resulted in an SGB, although the process of saving the tag definition was successful. This has been changed now, so that if saving the tag definitions takes longer, the process will be taken to the background and the user will get a notification, when saving is complete.

Bugfix RT58560

When a page is modified and republished during a publish process that published this page, it could happen that not all dependencies of the republished page were correctly dirted. This has been fixed now.

Gentics Content.Node 5.18.4

Documentation RT58520

Enhanced the documentation of how to migrate GCN to the new package with system distribution Apache.

Bugfix RT58526

When editing with Aloha Editor and an editable is activated that has a block element (like a table or tag) as first and/or last element, an empty paragraph needs to be inserted at the very start and/or end of the editable in order to provide a landing place for the cursor. When using Internet Explorer in IE7 mode, this did not work properly. Sometimes no paragraph was added, sometimes it contained a superfluous break element and thus had two lines. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT58523

When rendering other tags with the velocity directory #gtx_edit() never rendered the tags in edit mode. This has been fixed now, the directory #gtx_edit() now also works for other tags.

Bugfix RT58528

When publishing a page out of the Real Edit Mode using Aloha Editor failed (e.g. due to missing mandatory fields), no message was shown to the editor. This has been fixed now: a message will be shown to the editor and the page will stay in edit mode.

Bugfix RT58521

REST API: Deleting a page would not work if it has missing contenttags or contenttags with missing values. The delete call would also report success on the delete operation in this case.

Bugfix RT58516

When editing template properties, the file upload field always reported an error (“A file needs to be selected”) although selecting a file is not necessary. The changes made for the template were saved anyway. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT58517

When using the Repository Browser in IE7 (or in a more recent version of Internet Explorer in IE7 mode), resizing the window and/or the Repository Browser could completely crash the browser. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT58525

When setting an object property for a localized folder in a channel and applying the change to all subfolders, the change also affected subfolders in the master channel. This has been fixed. Now, if an object-property-change is applied to all subfolders of a localized folder, then only localized subfolders in the same channel will be affected by the change.

Bugfix RT58509

When setting the page language to a different language the language of the localized versions of the page was not updated. This has been fixed.

Gentics Content.Node 5.18.3

Optional Manual Change

Implementation of the tagtype for the FileLink plugin maybe has to be updated

The Setup Guide of the Gentics Content.Node FileLink plugin did not explicitly state, that the part text of the tagtype must be inline editable. The documentation has been updated. If this plugin is used, the tagtype implementation must be changed accordingly.

Bugfix RT58459

Workflows: An issue was fixed which prevented trash workflows for folders from being executed correctly. Previously a trash workflow would not be able to move folders into a trash folder. Deleting of folders was not possible when the workflow was enabled. The error first occurred in GCN 5.17.11 and 5.18.0.

Bugfix KB1975

Fixed that the user login didn‘t work on systems with 3rd party tools like siteminder or anything that adds additional cookies to the response headers of the Rest API.

Bugfix RT58503

Sorting the items listed in the repository browser by name did not work and has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT58492

In rare cases the publish process could fail with an error like “ERROR: com.gentics.api.lib.exception.NodeException: Action WRITE_CR was initiated for object 10002.4711.99 twice” due to conflicting entries in the publish queue. This has been fixed now.

Gentics Content.Node 5.18.2

Bugfix RT58489

When changing the tagtype of a template tag, that is editable in pages, not all caches where cleared correctly after the tags in the pages were changed. This could cause subsequent errors. E.g. when editing a page afterwards, it could happen, that the page was stored with the original tagtype. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT58484

CAS & JOSSO authentication: Fixed that the login didn‘t work and the users were stuck in an endless redirection loop.

Bugfix RT58412

Construct Editing: Modifying any construct property including description, keyname, parts caused all pages to be republished that utilized tags that were created using the construct. Only modifications to parts will now cause republishing of pages. Modifying all other properties including keyname and description will no longer cause publishing of pages.

Bugfix RT58490

When migrating existing projects to Aloha Editor, live editable tagtypes that use a part like Text, Text/HTML or Text/HTML (long) (which will replace newlines to br-Tags while rendering) would add superfluous br-Tags every time a page is edited with Aloha Editor. Changing the part to HTML would not change the stored content and newlines stored in the contents would no longer be transformed into br-Tags.
For this reason, the behavior of saving contents into such parts has been changed to strip all contained newlines. In this way, the editables can still be used with Aloha Editor without any further migration necessary.
It is mandatory to activate the feature aloha_annotate_editables for this to work. See the Aloha Editor Migration Guide for details.

Bugfix RT58430

Some additional log entries were added to better log, when a template is modified. Also locking and unlocking pages will now be logged separately with new log actions “Lock“ and “Unlock”.

Gentics Content.Node 5.18.1

Manual Change

Aloha Link tagtype: A previous manual update of the tagtype “Aloha Link” caused a misbehaviour when adding a link.

Breaks were inserted before and after links when saving a page. To perform the manual change please update the tagfill of the tagtype “Aloha Link“ (keyword: “gtxalohapagelink”) to match the code in the Aloha Page Link Tag Description.

Bugfix RT58467

When disabling the IE7 Standards Mode, and editing pages using the old Live Editor, some incorrect CSS setting caused rendering problems for editable areas. The borders around editables containing multiple lines of content were not rendered correctly and the tag icon changed it‘s position when activating the editable. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT58443

The gallery view was affected by the paging setting, but did not show the paging controls. Also the placement of the images in the gallery was wrong. This has been fixed now, the gallery will now show all images and will not use paging.

Bugfix RT58456

Translation permissions: A message will now be displayed when the translator has not enough permissions to translate a page in a different language. Previously the action was just silently aborted.

Bugfix RT58334

Page list: In some cases the top menu search menu was not being displayed. Additional role permission checks have been added in order to correctly determine the visibility of this menu entry.

Bugfix RT58418

When pages, images or files cannot be moved due to naming conflicts, the error messages will now explicitly contain the names of the conflicting objects and their folders. Additionally, if the conflict arises in a channel (but not in the master node), the channel name will be contained in the error messages. Error messages will now be shown in a browser alert message, so they cannot be easily missed.

Bugfix RT58451

When editing a page using aloha editor in “real editor“ mode, saving the page (using the “Save“ button in the ribbon), saved the page, but did not create a new version. When clicking the “Cancel“ button in the ribbon afterwards, the last saved version of the page is restored, which is unexpected behaviour. This has been fixed now, when using the “Save“ button in the ribbon to save the page, a new version will now be created and clicking “Cancel” afterwards will no longer undo the changes, which were saved before.

Bugfix RT58263

The update process has been changed to change the group of the PHP files to node_public, if the user node is member of that group. This fixes permission problems on systems that still use the second HTTP server for XNL modules.

Bugfix RT58456

Page Translate: In some cases a page property dialog with empty fields and no confirm button was shown when a user tried to translate a page. Additional permission checks were added in order to prevent this bug. The error messages now also contain information about the missing permissions.

Bugfix RT58447

When changing the name of a folder, without changing the publish directory, no check for duplicate publish paths will be done. Therefore, changing only the name is still possible, even if duplicate publish paths already exist.

Gentics Content.Node 5.18.0

Manual Change

Apache webserver with new PHP version (package migration) & Apache Tomcat 7 update

Important: If your current version is GCN 5.15.* or older, do NOT update to GCN 5.18.* directly. In this case update to GCN 5.17.* first, then do the package migration as explained in 1.) and then update to 5.18.*. Otherwise the update will not work.

1.) The Gentics Content.Node package now no longer supports the legacy packaged Apache webserver that was included in the /Node folder. Please migrate your Content.Node package before updating your system according to the migration guide. PHP 5.3 or higher is now mandatory to run Gentics Content.Node.

2.) Due to the Apache Tomcat 7 update it is mandatory to update some configuration files in /Node/etc/tomcat/ These configuration files may contain custom settings and should be inspected before updating. Please follow the configuration update steps before you continue with the Update. If not executed, your installation will not be able to startup. In that case you can just update your configuration files and restart the Apache Tomcat via nodectl.

Security KB1662

The password hashing of GCN users has been changed to use bcrypt for hashing. When applying this update, all stored passwords will be re-hashed with bcrypt immediately. As the old hashing algorithm is considered as weak by encryption experts, it‘s recommended to apply this update.

Feature KB2115

The repository browser has been improved with the possibility to allow configuring of paging and columns and better visualization of translated pages.

Enhancement RT58185

Rest API /image/resize: Added new option “copyFile” to the request object which allows copying of the image during the resize call.

Enhancement RT58185

Image manipulation: Multiple enhancements

Fixed the “duplicate” button not copying the current image and properties from the view, but the image data that is saved.
When resizing an image, the file extension wasn‘t corrected to jpg or png when it was a gif (The image manipulation can only output png or jpg).
The CSS in the toolbar has been enhanced.

Bugfix SUP-309

Some problems with copying or importing templates in the backend have been fixed:

When a template was copied into a folder of a node (not a channel), it was internally marked as belonging to a channel. This could subsequently lead to erros during the publish process.
When templates that were incorrectly bound to a channel were exported and imported into another system,
they were incorrectly bound to a channel on the target system as well.
When a template was copied into the same folder in a channel, it was copied into the master instead.

This update will also correct incorrectly bound templates in the database.

Some bugs in the sanitize name feature have been fixed:

When changing the standard configuration the form validation when creating a page or editing the page properties was wrong and a wrong error message was shown. Now this form validation is turned off for all custom configurations.
When creating a page, the page filename was truncated to the maximum filename length only BEFORE the sanitizing. Due to the character replacement in the sanitizing the filename could get longer. When translating a page the new filename was cut correctly, resulting in a different filename length.
When creating a page with a page filename that exceeds the maximum filename length, the language abbreviation could be deleted from the filename.
When translating a page with a page filename that exceeds the maximum filename length, the filename could be wrongly truncated if the filename contains a dot “.”.

When importing a master node together with at least one channel, that contained at least one localized folder, into a system, where neither of the nodes already existed, it could happen, that the import failed with an “Internal error“.
When exporting a master with channel and subchannel, it could happen that the this channel structure was not imported correctly.
When resolving a conflict with behaviour “copy“, some parts of the new created object possibly had the same global IDs as the
imported object, which could lead to “Internal errors“ in subsequent imports.

Bugfix RT58384

Sometimes importing a Page with an Overview that already exists on the system does not update the overview settings. This has been fixed.

Bugfix RT58386

When a page was localized in a channel, the properties “languageset“ and “pagevariants“ were triggered for all language or page variants of the page in the master node and for all channels. This probably caused too many pages dirted, which subsequently caused too large publish processes. This has been fixed now, dirting of “languageset“ and “pagevariants” will now be done channel specific were possible.

Bugfix RT58302

Moving folder structures between channels did not work as expected. Objects contained in the moved folder structure possibly were not moved between the channels. This could result in inconsistent data, where inherited objects were located in local folders. This has been fixed now. Additionally, some additional checks for possible naming conflicts will be done, when moving folder structures between nodes. When moving large folder structures takes longer than some seconds, the move operation will now be continued in the background. The user will get a notification (via instant message), when the folder structure has been moved.

Bugfix RT58371

When editing an overview for the first time after a new login, the list of selected entries will disappear after clicking back and next in the overview wizard. This has been fixed.

Bugfix RT58432

When modifying the html of a tag in a callback to “tag.rendered” (using the Gentics Content.Node Javascript API), the modified html was ignored. This has been fixed now. When modifying the html of a tag, it is necessary to note, that at least the root tag of the original html must be left untouched.

Gentics Content.Node 5.17.10

Bugfix RT58383

Guides: Enhanced the FAQ page on how to enable the profiler.

Bugfix RT58403

Fixed users being able to take inherited pages offline, even when they don‘t have access to the master node.

Bugfix RM14192

Channel sync: Fix javascript error occuring when pressing the buttons “Push to master“ or “Remove localization“. Error message: ”Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property ‘focus‘ of undefined

Bugfix RT58305

When restoring a page version, tags where the tagtype has been deleted in the meanwhile also got restored. When trying to load this page afterwards the user would get an error message. The problem has been fixed by not restoring such tags anymore.

Gentics Content.Node 5.17.9

Bugfix RT58362

When translating a page, the generated filename was not consistent with the generated filename of the original page.

Gentics Content.Node 5.17.8

Documentation RT58355

Updated overview tag part description.

Bugfix RT58327

Various issues in the scheduler task event view were fixed:

Previously it was possible to select a task event dependency which would cause a closed dependency cycle. Additional checks were added to disalow a task event select which would lead to this condition.
The translations within the task view property dialog were fixed and improved.
A bug was fixed which would cause parent dependencies for the task event not to show up within the task event dependency selection dropdown.

Bugfix

An issue within the REST API was fixed which could lead to stalling mysql server connections. Ultimately this issue could result in ‘Too many connections‘ errors.

Bugfix RT54802

With Firefox the menu list in the template preview is displayed always with two columns instead of one. This has been fixed.

Bugfix RT58365

The main Gentics Content.Node connection pool can now be configured.
Please take a look at our Memory & Performance FAQ for more information.

Gentics Content.Node 5.17.7

Bugfix RT58211

GenticsImageStore: On some occasions, when resizing a JPEG image with sRGB colorspace the resulting image has wrong colors. This has been fixed.

Bugfix RT58321

Deleting of a single page could fail under the following circumstances:

The page was published into a Content Repository with instant publishing
The feature publish_cache was used
The feature disable_instant_delete was not used
Another page contained a link to the deleted page

The issue has been fixed now, deleting pages will now work under all circumstances.

Bugfix RT58339

When using the feature publish_cache in multichannelling environments, it was possible that channel specific data was cached, which could cause incorrect rendering of pages. This has been fixed now. Additionally, rendering of tag.visible did not return the correct value when using publish_cache, which also has been fixed.

Bugfix RT58343

GenticsImageStore paths were not correctly recognized when a CDATA XML Tag was used to wrap the URL. Example: CDATA[//some-thing.at.com/stop_pan_thing/GenticsImageStore/200/230/smart{fileName} ]]

Bugfix RT58346

Fetching some commonly used data during a publish process was done very iffenciently and has been improved.

Bugfix RT58298

Sometimes, when a successful multithreaded publish process was finalized, errors like “An already closed connction got into the pool.” would be logged (as FATAL errors), which did not indicate any real errors. The finalizing algorithm has been changed to avoid those error messages.

Gentics Content.Node 5.17.6

Documentation RT58295

Added missing documentation to the PermResource, the resource for reading and writing permissions in the REST Api. Previously it was unclear how to get the folder and role permissions and how to read the permission bit strings in the response. This has been fixed.

Bugfix RT58319

Tagtype fill: When editing a tagtype that has a “Select (multiple)“-part in the “Fill“ dialog, a broken error message appeared when saving the properties with “OK“. This happened on systems where GCN runs with PHP 5.3 or higher and has been fixed now. Error message: “A tag name contains invalid characters: Line: 1 Tag:”.

Bugfix RT58285

The handling of “internal” datasources ~~datasources that belong to a specific tag that has a part of type "Datasource"~~ during Import/Export has been fixed. They will no longer be treated as individual objects, but as tag content. The changes in detail are:

Internal datasources will no longer be excluded, even if datasources are excluded generally. Internal datasources must always be exported within the tags that contain them.
Internal datasources will no longer be shown in the export overview or detail list.
Internal datasources will no longer be shown in the conflict view.
Internal datasources will no longer be shown in the import overview or detail list.

Bugfix RT58243

In some cases, due to incorrect tagmap data, the content repository synchronization during the publish process would detect changes in the content repository structure every time. This caused “changing” the structure on every publish run, which did not actually change anything, but just took some unnecessary time. This has been fixed now, the content repository structure will now only be modified if really necessary.

Bugfix RT58320

When deleting tagtype parts a SGB error was thrown. This error occurred since GCN 5.16.0 and has now been fixed. The error only occured on systems that have been migrated to the new package structure with distribution Apache and PHP CURL support.

Bugfix RT58278

When a file was dirted and then deleted during the next publish run, the publish run possibly failed, when the file should be published into a Content Repository where the attribute binarycontent was a filesystem attribute. This has been fixed now, the behavior in such cases will now be the same as when the attribute binarycontent is no filesystem attribute.

Bugfix RT58328

If a content file has no file extension, then the meta attribute file.extension returned the file name instead of an empty string. This has been fixed.

Bugfix RT58324

Pages that were published into a multichannelling aware contentrepository during a regular publish process did not get the correct updatetimestamp set. As a result, caches were not cleared by syncchecking. This has been fixed now.

Gentics Content.Node 5.17.5

Manual Change

Aloha Link Plugin: Links were not escaped correctly when inserted with the aloha link plugin.

With this manual change you can place special characters in a link and it will be escaped according to html standards. To do the manual change please update the tagfill of the tagtype “Aloha Link“ (keyword: “gtxalohapagelink”) to match the code in the Aloha Page Link Tag Description.

Documentation RT58220

Some incorrect and unclear parts of the documentation of the Migration Tool have been improved: The documentation now states, that the Migration Tool is available for object property definitions, not for Tagtypes. Also the unclear german translation of the description of the checkbox to “apply a migration to all pages using the same template as this page” has been corrected.

Bugfix RT58250

Sorting the Queue by Node caused an SGB, which has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT58279

When pages were moved to other folders, they were left in the “locked“ state, even if they were not locked before. Also when pages were copied, the copy was “locked”. Both issues have been fixed now, moving or copying pages will not lock them.

Bugfix RT58268

The handling of dirt events that affected many objects was done very inefficient, which could cause long processing times during which the publish process would not start. This has been fixed now, dirting is done more efficient now.

Bugfix RT58260

The database connections for Content Repositories did no use connection pools. This caused many reconnects to the Content Repository databases when instant publishing is used. This has been changed now. Database connections to Content Repository databases will now be pooled (with very conservative settings). This means that connections will be kept alive and can be reused after the publish process is finished.

Bugfix RT58207

For users that are restricted to channels, sometimes the context menu in the folder tree was not shown for inherited folders in the channel due to an incorrect permission check. This occurred right after the login, before the user entered a specific node by clicking onto a folder in the folder tree. After entering a node and refreshing the folder tree, the context menu was shown correctly for all folders. This has been fixed now, the context menu will now be correct right from the start.

Bugfix RT58271

Doubleclicking on the duplicate button when doing image manipulation could create two duplicates with the same file name. This has been fixed.

Bugfix RT58243

The output generated by the function “Check data” for Content Repositories will now contain some detailed information about why objects are not supposed to be contained in the checked Content Repository.

Bugfix RT58296

When creating a page with non-ASCII characters in its name in the backend, the automatically created filename would sometimes be empty.

Gentics Content.Node 5.17.4

Security RT58241

The Apache Tomcat will automatically be updated to version 6.0.41 in order to secure various vulnerabilities.

Enhancement RT58235

The date formatter imp that was removed in GCN Update 5.17.0 was added back to Gentics Content.Node. The documentation for the imp can be found in the Gentics Content.Node Guides

Bugfix RT58131

Fixed webapp startup issues: When triggered, the safety check for mappedglobalidsequence would prevent the detection of a new license key. In some configurations, the startup safety checks would not output any error message. Now, there‘s additional logging as well as output to stderr, in case something prevents the startup of the webapp. The webapp will now refuse to startup if no globalprefix is set and no valid license can be found.

Bugfix RT58216

When using the copy_tags feature to copy & paste tags from one page into another, the new inserted tags would not get the edit buttons right away. It was necessary to save and reopen the page in edit mode to get the edit buttons for the copied tag. This has been fixed now, copied tags will immediately get the edit buttons.

Bugfix RT58275

Some inperformant SQL queries that were used while versioning pages could cause long database locks. Those SQL queries have been fixed now.

Bugfix RT58264

GenticsImageStore: URLs inside tags in pages were not correctly recognized during the publish process.

Bugfix RT58246

When using the feature omit_publish_table, changing and republishing pages caused excessive dirting. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix KB1726

Dirting: Previously, when opening the properties of a folder and clicking “OK” without changing any values, all objects depending on this folder have been dirted and re-published. From now on this will only happen when one of the values changes.

Gentics Content.Node 5.17.3

Bugfix RT58213

When a page was scheduled to be published at a certain time in the future, and was then processed by a publish run with multithreaded publishing, the publishtimestamp that was written into the Content Repository was not the one from the publish process but from the time, the editor scheduled the publishing. This has been fixed now, the publishtimestamp written into the Content Repository will now be correct.

Bugfix RT58217

When creating page variants on a system using multichannelling, variants created in nodes (not channels) were also marked as belonging to a channel. This caused the “synchronisation” of page variants to fail: When a variant is modified and published, a new version containing the new content is supposed to be created for all page variants, which did not happen in these cases. This has been fixed now. The update will also correct the incorrect channel setting of the page variants. Missing page versions will be added and affected pages will be scheduled to be republished in the next publish run.

Gentics Content.Node 5.17.2

Bugfix RT58227

Fixed too strict permission check that would hide the “OK” button when editing a user. This way changing a user‘s group assignments directly from the user‘s edit view was not possible any more.

Bugfix RT58209

Publishing to content repositories: Updatetimestamps are now created from wallclock time instead of from transaction time. This will mitigate portal cache consistency issues when instant publishing is used during a publish run.

Bugfix RT58192

The quickjump did not work as expected when using multichannelling: inherited pages in channels were not found and pages in master nodes were shown as result, even if the user was restricted see pages in channels only. Both issues have been fixed now.

Gentics Content.Node 5.17.1

Manual Change

Aloha Link Plugin: Links were not escaped correctly when inserted with the aloha link plugin.

Bugfix RT58196

When publishing into a content repository that has instant publishing enabled, the publish process could fail with various errors thrown by the JDBC driver, which were caused by not-threadsafe usage of the database connection. This has been fixed now, access to the content repository database will now be properly synchronized.

Bugfix RT58187

When using Roles to grant permissions on languages to users, the “translate“ role was not sufficient to create language variants of existing pages. This has been fixed now, users with the “translate“ role for a specific language are allowed to create translations (language variants of existing pages), whereas creation of new pages still requires the “create“ role (or the “create” group permission).

Bugfix RT58198

The language shown in the page properties dialog was not the page‘s language, but the currently selected content language. This has been fixed now. The page‘s language will be shown now. If the page has no language set, the field will be empty.

Bugfix RT58156

Implementations using the Datasource PartType did not work as expected. Dirting of dependent objects did not work, when tags containing a Datasource PartType were changed and doing imports of tags with Datasource PartTypes could cause Internal Errors. These errors have been fixed now. Possibly incorrect references to datasources in the database will automatically be corrected during the next initialization of Gentics Content.Node.

Bugfix RT58179

Setting permissions on custom tree entries did not work as expected and has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT58204

Deleting a node could sometimes lead to database inconsistencies (leaving a node entry without its root folder). Those database inconsistencies would subsequently cause publish failures. The process of deleting nodes has been modified, so that no database inconsistencies can occur, even if the process itself is interrupted or fails.

Bugfix RT58202

Localizing folders in a deep folder structure failed with an Exception. The Exception was thrown when the folder property “Directory” was more than 64 characters long. This has been fixed. Now folder paths can be 255 characters long.

Bugfix RT58159

Fixed multiple issues with roles: Group permission dialog would not display the assigned role count. Roles would not be assigned recursively to child objects in the Group permission dialog. All roles except one would be ignored most of the time if multiple roles are assigned to an object.

Gentics Content.Node 5.17.0

Aloha Editor Change Summary
Aloha Editor now allows for central configuration of allowed nodes. This reduces configuration overhead as all plugins will adhere these settings. The format plugin now supports hierarchical headlines. New documentation for creating a video block has been added. Aloha Editor is now capable of automatically purging empty paragraphs and multiple breaks.
See the Aloha Editor Changelog for detailed information.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 is no longer supported. Please update to Internet Explorer 8 or newer.

Manual Change

Deprecation of the date formatter imp

The date formatter imp ($cms.imps.date) was removed. You may use the DateTools imps to format dates ($cms.imps.velocitytools.date). You can search for affected constructs with the following SQL Statement:

   select c.id as construct_id, c.keyword as construct_keyword, p.keyword as part_keyword from value v left join part p on p.id = v.part_id left join construct c on c.id = p.construct_id where v.value_text like '%$cms.imps.date%';

Manual Change

Java Project Structure Changes

Enhancement RM13252

The REST API for templates has been extended with two new methods:

/CNPortletapp/rest/template/link links templates to folders
/CNPortletapp/rest/template/unlink unlinks templates from folders

See the REST API Documentation for details.

Bugfix RT57383

Using an apostrophe in a folder name would lead to a javascript error in the folder listings. Also, javascript escape sequences were interpreted by mistake. This has been fixed.

Bugfix RT58176

2dotool integration: “Request translation” would log out the user immediately.

Bugfix RT58089

Fixed the GCN JS API to enable it to recover after a JavaScript exception occurs with no ‘error-encountered‘ handler registered to.

Bugfix RT58165

It is no longer possible to store files (or images) with empty filename using the properties dialog, the imagemanipulation2 or the REST API.

Bugfix RT58146

Some actions on tagtypes, like adding or removing a part did not change the editor and edittime of the construct itself. This has been changed now. Also log entries will now be added on all actions of constructs.

Bugfix

A javascript error in the webdav (folder open) dialog was fixed. Internet Explorer 11 does no longer support opening of webdav folders. Instead webdav folders have to be opened manually now. The infotext in the webdav dialog was adapted.

Bugfix RT57729

Importing an object property definition containing an overview sometimes failed with an “Internal error”, because the export contained an invalid reference. This has been fixed now. New exports of object property definitions containing overviews can now be successfully imported.

Bugfix RT58117

Pasting a link didn‘t mark it as Aloha Page link. This has been fixed.

When deleting a tagtype or object property definition takes longer than 5 seconds, the user will now be informed, that the process is continued in the background. When deleting object property definitions, dirting for deleted object tags will only be done for enabled object tags.

Bugfix RT55699

quickjump: if a page exists but is not visible to a user and the user searches for the page name in the quickjump box, the system will try to access the page and an error message is shown. This has been changed to a “Page not found” message.

Bugfix RT58054

When attributes in a multichannelling aware ContentRepository were made ‘optimized‘ manually, but the entries in table contentattribute were not removed, this could cause the problem that the value could not be changed, if the quick column was set to NULL, but the value in contentattribute was the correct one.

Bugfix RT58124

When a tagtype is deleted, that was used by an object property, this could cause excessive dirting (delaying the publish process for a long time), even in the object property was not used by a large number of objects. This has been optimized now, deleting a tagtype will only cause a dirt event, if the tag that used the tagtype was enabled.

Bugfix RT58001

Image Manipulation 2: Fixed manipulating images not working on certain systems with a webserver proxy that filters URL‘s for security and doesn‘t allow full URLs to be passed as URL parameter.

Bugfix RT58148

When opening the todo tool, the user was automatically logged out. This has been fixed now, the todo tool can now be used normally.

Bugfix RT58084

If removing pages or files during an incremental page import lasted longer than 5 seconds, an error was logged in the import log, and possibly not all removed files or pages were deleted in the CMS. This has been fixed now by increasing the timeout to a reasonable high number of seconds.

Bugfix RT57825

Tagfill popup (Internet Explorer): fix automatic scroll to the bottom of the popup when editing a Tagfill.

Bugfix RT58124

When exporting an object that can have object tags (folder, template, page, image or file), only enabled object tags will be exported. This fixes the problem, that object property definitions need to be exported together with objects, although the object tag has never been used (filled) for the object.

Gentics Content.Node 5.16.10

Bugfix RT57949

Multichanneling: The order functionality within the list views (folders, files, pages, templates) did not work correctly when ordering the column “Master”. This issue is now resolved.

Bugfix RT58063

A file descriptor leak has been discovered in the scheduler that could potentially eat up all available file descriptors for scheduled processes. This fix removes a leaked file descriptor of a lock file.

Bugfix RT58086

If a page is moved to another node and taken offline before the next publishrun, then it will not be removed correctly from the source node. This has been fixed.

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.

Gentics Content.Node 5.16.8

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 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.

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 RT58067

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

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 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 5.16.5

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.

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 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.

Gentics Content.Node 5.16.4

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 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.

Bugfix RT57765

Copying nodes: Fixed copying nodes with the user interface not correctly working. When copying a node, the copy would not appear in the users tree or node list because the permission cache was not refreshed.

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 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 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.

Gentics Content.Node 5.16.3

Bugfix RT57977

File properties: Fixed a Javascript error that occured when opening the minibrowser and then clicking “ok“.

ContentRepository: Edit
Nodes: Create new node
Node: Display

Now the following permissions are checked:

ContentRepository: Edit
Node: Edit

Gentics Content.Node 5.16.2

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).

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 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 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

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

Gentics Content.Node 5.16.1

Security RT57919

Enhancement RT57948

It is now possible to use the meta attribute “inherited” in implementations. For details, see the List of meta attributes in the Gentics Content.Node Guides.

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 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 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 RT57950

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

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 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 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 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 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 RT57820

Text area for the number of online users is wider so that it stays on a single line.
If the text representing the number of users inline was like ‘999 Benutzer online‘, the text was broken in two lines ‘14 Benutzer‘ and ‘online‘. Just by making bigger the area, the text stays in one line.

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 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 RT57940

Editing folder permissions: the page for viewing and editing the folder permissions was not displayed if the multichannelling feature was not activated.

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 RT57950

When using the new feature “resumable_publish_process” and publishing into non MCCR Content Repositories, the publish process could hang. This has been fixed now.

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 5.16.0

New Aloha Editor features: Aloha Editor now supports definitionlists. The format plugin has been extended to be able to remove a wider range of formattings. The list plugin now allows to apply classes to lists from a list of pre-rendered style definitions. The headerid plugin now allows you to use a translation table to transform headers into ids.

Manual Change

Gentics Portal.Node 2 removed

Gentics Portal.Node 2, which has been deprecated years ago, was now removed from the Gentics Content.Node codebase. Please remove the $LOAD_MODULE[“portal”] setting from your node.conf.

Manual Change

This changeset may require a manual change to your implementation.

The version of jQuery UI that is used by the repository browser in the tagfill dialog has been upgraded from 1.8.1 to 1.9.1 . This has been done in order to fix a bug that prevented the minibrowser‘s left and right panels from being resizable in IE9 when $FEATURE[“disableIE7StandardsMode“] is set to “true”. The jQuery UI that is used in the tag fill is not supported as offical API by Gentics Content.Node . If any implemenation made use of it, those implementations may be affected by this change.

Manual Change

The flag-icons plugin is not shipped anymore and must be removed from the Aloha configuration in node.conf.

Optional Manual Change

Distribution binary support

With this release you no longer have to use the included package Apache webserver, package PHP binaries and various utility binaries. The distribution tools, distribution Apache webserver and distribution PHP installation can be used instead. Thus support for distribution Apache webserver and PHP has been added to Gentics Content.Node.
The optional changes include:

Removal of various binary tools in the /Node/bin directory. (eg.: rsync, lftp, curl, wget..)
Removal of various binary libraries in /Node/lib
Removal pf Apache Webserver binaries
Removal of PHP binaries
Removal pf MySQL binaries
Updated node.conf structure

Note that the migrated package installation will no longer support the public apache site configuration thus legacy XNL Functions that make use of the public apache will no longer work. Additionally it is mandatory to migrate to the system MySQL Server when this manual change is being applied.
Please read the configuration and migration guide which is applicable for the latest distributions of SUSE Enterprise Linux, Redhat Enterprise Linux and Debian Linux. Do the package migration after updating Gentics Content.Node to 5.14.* with the Autoupdate.
This optional change will not remove any files automatically.

Removed unsupported context menu entries “in page changeable“ and “not in page changeable” from folder and template object property dialogs.

Bugfix RT57711

Selecting a item using the link browser, when targetregex has not be configured, caused the target attribute of the active anchor element to unexpectedly be overwritten to “framename”. This behavior has been fixed so that the target attribute will only change if targetregex is configured and matches the specified regular expression.

Bugfix KB1064

Sanitizing allows white spaces in filenames
White spaces were replaced by underscores (‘_‘) in filenames. With this fix, sanitizing allows white spaces for filenames.

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 RM13359

When user assignment to a group with the permission to modify tagtypes of several nodes was restricted to only some of that nodes, the list of construct did not always show the tagtype icons accordingly (icons for tagtypes that are not editable by the user should be displayed greyed out). This has been fixed now, so the icons will always show the editing permissions correctly.

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.

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 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 RT57811

The created white spaces at the beginning and the end of inline tags are now bein removed. To be able to set the caret after inline blocks, empty ‘span‘ elements are added at the beginning and the end of all inline blocks. When saving the page, these elements were saved too. With this fix these ‘span‘ are ephemeral and are deleted once the page is saved. These ‘span‘ elements are also removed if the inline blocks are removed.

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 5.15.11

Bugfix RT57774

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

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 RT57494

Publish Queue: Fixed SGB error occuring, when trying to publish multiple pages at once. This error only occured when you went straight to the publish queue without clicking on a folder first.

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 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 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 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.

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 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 RT57769

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

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).

Enhancement RT57609

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

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 RT56361

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

Bugfix RT57635

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

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 RT57708

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

Bugfix RT57697

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

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 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 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.

Gentics Content.Node 5.15.7

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 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.

Bugfix RT57568

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

Gentics Content.Node 5.15.6

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 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 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.

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 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 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 RT57669

In some cases a Gentics Content.Node Import could cause an exception directly after restart of the Apache Tomcat Server. The exception was related to the permission handling. The initialization of the permissions has been altered to fix this issue.

Gentics Content.Node 5.15.5

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 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 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 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.

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.

Gentics Content.Node 5.15.4

Enhancement

Inherited content and properties are rendered in REST-API ‘render‘ call (only localized pages). When calling /rest/page/render/{id} now it is possible to get the inherited content and the inherited properties when the parameter ‘inherited‘ is set to true. The response then will add 2 new properties:

‘inheritedContent‘: content of the inherited page
‘inheritedProperties‘: properties of the inherited page

Enhancement

Enhanced the permission page for folders (Accessed through the folders context menu) The permissions are now directly shown for all groups for the currently selected folder.

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 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 RT57556

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

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 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 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 RT56031

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

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 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.

Enhancement

Documented tag icon rendering for node style syntax.

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 RT57259

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

Bugfix RT57368

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

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

Diagonal resizing in the MiniBrowser works properly now. The diagonal resizing region was very small and therefore very difficult to select.

Bugfix RT55037

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

Bugfix RT57371

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

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 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.

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.

Gentics Content.Node 5.15.1

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 5.15.0

Manual Change

Permission settings, that were set on channels (root folders of channels) will not be effective any more.

Permission settings on channels will now always be inherited from the master node, even for the root folder of the channel. In order to restrict user access to specific channels, the assignment of the user to the group granting this permissions has to be restricted to the channels.
More information about restricting user-group assignments to nodes can be found in the Gentics Content.Node Guides

Enhancement RT57003

The following meta attributes have been added for Velocity and the node notation:
Node:

https
master
utf8
alohaeditor

Check out the documentation for more information.

Enhancement RM10457

The feature “always_localize” has been introduced. It allows you to skip the dialogue that asks, whether Gentics Content.Node should localize an inherited object before editing or just edit the inherited object. If it is skipped, the default answer is to localize. If the feature is enabled in your node.conf, You can configure it separately for every node in the Node Features menu.

Enhancement RT57304

Improvements have been to the repository browser UI. The way that notifications are shown when an item is selected with the resopsitory browser has also been be replaced with a better implemenation, and improved UI.

Enhancement

The permission system has been enhanced to allow restricting user-group assignments to specific nodes/channels. This allows granting permissions to specific channels, without granting the permissions to other channels or the master node of the same channel structure.
More information about restricting user-group assignments to nodes can be found in the Gentics Content.Node Guides

Enhancement

The performance for checking permissions ~~especially to build the folder tree~~ has been improved.

Permission entries with all permission bits set to 0 will no longer be stored in the database, which reduces the size of the perm table.
Checking the permissions will now be done using the REST API and will not access the perm table. All permission entries will be kept in the memory of the JVM. The memory consumption will be about 40 byte per perm entry (not counting the entries having all 0s). The database is only accessed, when permissions change.

Enhancement RT56173

Various enhancements have been made to the repository browser. Resizing the repository browser now works.

Enhancement

The error log now shows all errors – displaying errors as “internal errors” has been removed. Also, additional data like the request query string and the user is displayed if available.

Gentics Content.Node 5.14.46

Bugfix RT58285

Internal datasources will no longer be excluded, even if datasources are excluded generally. Internal datasources must always be exported within the tags that contain them.
Internal datasources will no longer be shown in the export overview or detail list.
Internal datasources will no longer be shown in the conflict view.
Internal datasources will no longer be shown in the import overview or detail list.

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 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 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 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 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 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.

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 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 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 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 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 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

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

Gentics Content.Node 5.14.10

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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 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.

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 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.

Gentics Content.Node 5.14.7

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.

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 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 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 RT56980

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

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 RT56623

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

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 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 RT56249

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

Bugfix RT56667

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

Enhancement RT56697

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

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 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 RT54963

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

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

Possible missing publish log error messages have been fixed.

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 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 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.

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 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 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 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

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

Bugfix RM11868

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

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 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 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.

The restAPI cancelMigration call will now be able to abort the migration in additional phases of the migration.

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 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 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 RT55753

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

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 RM8723

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

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 RT55802

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

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

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 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 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 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

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 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.

Bugfix RT56020-RT56407

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

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 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 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 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 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 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”.

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 RT56054

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

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.

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 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.

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 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 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 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.

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.

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.

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

Enhancement RT56609

Bugfix RT56245

Fixed selection of translators in the todo tool.

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 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 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

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

Bugfix RM11868

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

Bugfix RT56642

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.

Gentics Content.Node 5.13.15

Enhancement RT56423

Enhancement RT56111

Scheduler: Updated documentation, documented setting $MAX_SCHEDULE_RUNTIME.

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.

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 RT56282

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 RT55753

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

Bugfix RT56480

Bugfix RT56570

Bugfix RM8723

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

Bugfix RT55802

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

Gentics Content.Node 5.13.14

Enhancement RT55738

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 RT56274

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 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 RT56517

Bugfix RT56020-RT56407

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

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 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 RT56328

Bugfix RT56456

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 RT56054

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

Enhancement RT55795

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 RT56139

Bugfix RT56260

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 RT55401

A scheduler task‘s editor is now updated correctly.

Bugfix RT54176

Bugfix RT54157

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 RT55246

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

Enhancement RT56054

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

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.

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 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 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 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 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 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!

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.

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 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 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 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.

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 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 RT50562

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

Bugfix RT50562

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

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.

Gentics Content.Node 5.13.9

Enhancement RT55980

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

Bugfix RT55933

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

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 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 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 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.

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 RT55898

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

Bugfix RT56028

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

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 RT55941

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

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 RT56021

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

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 RT55962

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

Gentics Content.Node 5.13.7

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 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 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.

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 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.

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 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 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

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 RT55388

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

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 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 RT55680

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

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 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 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 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 RT52250

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

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 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 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 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 RT55313

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

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 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 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 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 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.

Bugfix RT55451

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

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 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 RT55217

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

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 RT54941

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

Gentics Content.Node 5.13.3

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.

Security RT54512

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

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 RT55158

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

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 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 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 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 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 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 RT54731

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

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 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.

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.

Gentics Content.Node 5.13.1

Enhancement

Added guide about migrating from Live Editor to Aloha Editor

Bugfix RT54493

Corrected a previous fix for a NullPointerException in the publish process due to a synchronization problem.

Bugfix RT54509

Improved permission checks for error log, workflow administration and inbox messages.

Bugfix RM9990

Fixes an error that occurred during template migration when linking the target template with the folders linked with the source template.

Bugfix RT54882

Previously it was not possible to create two pages with the same name in different channels of the same master node. The same problem also appeared when creating two folders with the same name in different channels of the same master node. Now, you can create pages or folders with the same name in different channels, as long as one channel is not a master of the other.

Bugfix RT54771

GCN Rest API: Fixed /folder/getImages/ method returning images as type “file”. This also broke displaying the image width & height in the repository Browser thumbnail preview.

Bugfix RT54935

Tag-fill: Fixed the object name not being displayed (eg.: pages, ...) in a tag URL-part under certain (rare) circumstances when using multichannelling. This only happened when the page was created in a channel and was localized again in a subchannel of this channel.

Bugfix RT54078

Fix possible (but rare) NPE while finishing a multithreaded publish process.

Bugfix RT53175

When a local page inside a channel was translated and the language version did not exist yet, a new page in the target language was created in the master node. This was not intended and caused incorrect behaviour, and has been fixed now: the translation of a local page is now local as well.

Bugfix

Fix the inability to set the startpage for new created folders over the page context menu. Setting the startpage could duplicate the object tags of the folder, which could also lead to subsequent errors.

Bugfix RT54911

Pages were previously not dirted when only a template tag inside their template was changed, but the template itself was unchanged. Now, a change in a tag or its values also properly triggers dirting.

Bugfix RT54954

Instant publishing: Fixed error messages being shown for none-critical problems like Velocity rendering errors. Also fixed a Javascript error when the message included linebreaks.

Bugfix RT54620

When using instant publishing for a content repository, the (regular) publish process used to create a new connection for every published object. This has been changed now, so that the publish process will open a single connection for every content repository, that is kept open while publishing, and only open a new transaction for every object, if instant publishing is used.

Gentics Content.Node 5.13.0

Optional Manual Change

This release of Gentics Content.Node contains all bugfixes from 5.12.12 and below.

Optional Manual Change

A potential security issue has been fixed.

Important: If you are using Gentics Portal.Node Java with the GCNAuthenticationManager (e.g. for frontend editing), you have to update it first, before updating Gentics Content.Node.
If you pass the session secret in the ?do=100 URL now, you will be redirected to the same URL without the session secret in the sid= parameter. If your system setup is relying on this information in the URL (which it shouldn‘t) in any way, please enable the following feature in your GCN configuration:
$FEATURE[‘disable_sessionsecretredirect‘] = true;
This will keep the old behavior like in the previous GCN versions. However, we don‘t recommend enabling this, use it at your own risk!

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 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 RT53533

The new optional feature “move_perm_with_edit“ will modify the necessary permission for moving pages, images and files. If the feature is off, users will need to have the “delete“ permission in the source folder, which is the same behavior as before this enhancement. If the feature is on, users will need to have the “edit“ permission in the source folder for moving objects to other folders. In all cases, users will need to have the “create” permission in the target folder.

Enhancement

GCN JS API‘s pubsub message channels and guides have been improved.
Although still available for backwards compatibility, the following channels are deprecated with this change:

content-inserted
content-rendered
authentication-required
authenticated
session-set

The following message are new:

session.authentication-required
session.authenticated
session.sid-set
tag.inserted
tag.rendered
tag.rendered-for-editing
tag.before-deleted
page.before-saved
page.before-published
folder.before-saved

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.

Bugfix RT54620

Gentics Content.Node 5.12.12

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 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 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 RT54501

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 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 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 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 RT54821

Fixed possible SGB when creating new folders.

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 RT54794

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

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).

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 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.

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 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 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).

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 RT54671

GCN JS API Frontend editing: Fixed “callback is undefined” javascript 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 RT54671

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

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 RT54684

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

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 RT54653

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

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 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 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 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 RT54661

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

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 RT54424

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

Bugfix RT54723

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

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.

Gentics Content.Node 5.12.9

Bugfix RT54493

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

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 RT54074

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

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 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 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 RT54580

Export: Added back missing images to the left assistent sidebar

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.

Gentics Content.Node 5.12.8

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 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 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 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 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 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.

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 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).

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 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 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 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 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 RT54304

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

Bugfix RT54332

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

Bugfix RT54240

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

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 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 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 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.

Bugfix

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

Gentics Content.Node 5.12.3

Bugfix RT54130

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

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 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.

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.

Gentics Content.Node 5.12.2

Bugfix RT53746

This fix allows HTML-formatted text (like abbreviations or text-decorations) to be stored inside the text-field of a link, when using the Aloha-Editor plugin.

Bugfix RT53839

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

A possible SQL Error was fixed within the publish process.

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 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.

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 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 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 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 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

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 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 RT53758

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

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 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 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 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 RT53375

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

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

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 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 RT53199

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

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 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 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 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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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 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 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 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 RT51911

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

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 RT52290 RT52043

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

Bugfix RT52776

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

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 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 RT50625

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

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 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 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.

Bugfix RT52876

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

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 RT52751

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

Bugfix RT52516

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

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 RT52987

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

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.

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

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 RM5826 RT52022

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

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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 RT52715

Fixed canceling of a published page over the REST API: When a page is published (and not changed afterwards) and then canceled, the page status is not changed.

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 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 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 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

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 RT52442

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

Bugfix RT52416

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

Bugfix RM5993

Following an internal link will now cause the top menu to be updated so thatthe top menu links will operate on the newly opened page, and not therefererring page.

Bugfix RM5993

Bugfix

Fixed the construct list method response for channel nodes. Previously a construct list call for a channel would reveal an empty list. Now the constructs for the master node will returned when a channel node_id was specified for the list request.

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

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 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 RT52055

Fixed PHP Fatal error: Class ‘CNFolderObject‘ when executing a workflow timer trigger that moves a page.

Gentics Content.Node 5.8.0

Manual Change

Change to GCN JS API

The function descriptor of the function PageAPI.createTag() in the GCN JS API has changed. It will no longer support calls likepage.createTag([construct], [magicvalue], [success], [error]);Instead, the call has to written aspage.createTag( { constructId: [construct], magicValue: [magicvalue] }, [success], [error]);(parameters specifying what tag has to be created have to be given as object).

Manual Change

Aloha Editor 0.20.x was removed from GCN

Added folder information to the object lists in the repository browser so that search results can better be identified.

Bugfix

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

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

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

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

Bugfix

Missing i18n entries were added.

Fixed an issue when using tagtype names containing curly braces.

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

Disabled Aloha Editor block-plugin drag and drop feature

The block-plugin drag and drop feature is now disabled by default. Thefeature may be re-enabled with the following setting in the node.confconfiguration file: $ALOHA_SETTINGS[‘plugins‘][‘block‘][‘dragdrop‘] = ‘true‘;Changing this setting requires a tomcat restart.Please note that the block drag and drop functionality is experimentaland still in development.

Manual Change

Tagtypes implementation and Aloha Editor block-plugin

The tags ‘p‘ and ‘h1‘ – ‘h6‘ are now recognized as valid root elements of tagtypes.When using tagtypes with such root elements before, the tags where wrapped into a ‘div‘ tag, which no longer will happen after this change.

Manual Change

(when updating to Aloha Editor with jQuery UI)

The legacy version of aloha editor was removed.

Manual Change

Aloha‘s ecma5.js was removed.

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

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

The scrollbars within the edit view of a page were fixed. Previously the vertical scrollbar was displayed with an offset. In rare cases even two scrollbars were displayed next to eachother.

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

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.

Bugfix

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

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

Manual Change

Adapt multilevel publish workflow implementations

Publishing a page using the REST API used a multilevel publish workflow, while publishing a page in the backend used the old single-level publish workflow.The publish behavior has been unified now. The default behavior is now, that publishing the page over the REST API or the backend will use the old single-level publish workflow.Implementations that required the multilevel publish workflow need to add the configuration setting

$MULTILEVEL_PUB_WORKFLOW[nodeId] = true;

Gentics Content.Node 5.4.20

Gentics Content.Node 5.4.19

Gentics Content.Node 5.4.16

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.

Bugfix

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

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

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

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.

Enhanced the Content.Node menu on dark/black backgrounds (pages, templates). It now has a light border around it.Also made the main menu highlighting stay when the submenu is currently open.

Bugfix

Fixed SGB error when setting a page language.

Bugfix

Fixed SGB error appearing when viewing the taglist of a template with tags that don‘t have a tagtype.

Gentics Content.Node 5.4.10

Bugfix

Fixed tag buttons sometimes jumping when clicking on it when editing pages with Aloha editor.This has been the case when there has been no content in the editable and the tag button was inside another editable.

Bugfix

Fixed menubar not being in 100% width in the new chrome beta.

Fixed copying of inherited or localized pages in localized folders: the page will now be created in the folder as local channel page.

Bugfix

Fixed display of page icon when pages are scheduled to be published in the future, when multichannelling is used.

Gentics Content.Node 5.4.8

Gentics Content.Node 5.4.3

Gentics Content.Node 5.4.2

Gentics Content.Node 5.4.1

Manual Change

The FTP configuration within the node settings was removed.

Fixed omissions in user list when pages are being assigned for revision.

A previous fix to disable the paging of the list in the "assign for revision" dialog caused some users to be omitted from the list.

Bugfix

Fixed the “publish” menu entries not being shown in the page menu when it was shown in the page list context menu (inconsistent behavior). It is now always shown.

Bugfix

Fixed bug in GenticsImageStore which sometimes didn‘t round calculcated proportional widths or heights of images correctly when doing image resizing.
Example: /CNPortletapp/GenticsImageStore/150/auto/cropandresize/prop/22/0/964/674/The resulting proportional height has been 104,87… which was incorrectly cutted down to 104px instead of 105px

Gentics Content.Node 5.3.26

Fixed missing CHANGELOG type (SQL) in system.CHANGELOG and some missing ‘;‘. Those issues caused a problem with database updates. The previously missing database update did not affect operation since it was just a regular performance optimisation.

Gentics Content.Node 5.3.23

Gentics Content.Node 5.3.22

Removed handling of magic image blocks.

This affects the handling of gtxalohaimage tags. The inline image block handling and editing was replaced with the new imagemanipulation2 feature. This change is only required when the feature aloha010 is enabled.

Its now possible to delete a contenttag with a new tag button within the edit view. The html structure of that tag icon container has changed. This will affect custom css that modify the tag icon position/behaviour.

Gentics Content.Node 5.3.11

Gentics Content.Node 5.3.5

Bugfix

Fixed the following issue: If the versiondiff (source-mode) processes a page where an opening angle bracket occurs in an HMTL comment or an HTML Tag, it will not be escaped, causing the result diff to break.

Gentics Content.Node 5.3.1

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.

Gentics Content.Node Changelogs
