Gentics Content.Node Changelog Summary

Gentics Content.Node 5.21.5


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 5.21.4


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 5.21.3


Bugfix SUP-1854

When using the publishedbefore filter with a request to /rest/folder/getPages the result would contain pages, that were not published yet. This has been fixed.


Bugfix SUP-1783

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


Gentics Content.Node 5.21.2


Documentation SUP-1777

Some fields for REST API requests were not documented, this has been fixed.


Documentation SUP-1777

Some fields for REST API requests were not documented, this has been fixed.


Bugfix SUP-1761

The purgewastebin job will no longer try to instantly remove purged objects from content repositories, if they have instant publishing enabled.


Bugfix SUP-889

When saving pages containing links in editables with Aloha Editor, links to internal pages, that are incorrectly rendered as external links will now also be transformed to internal links, if the URL does not start with http:// but directly with /CNPortletapp.


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

Sometimes, deleting an import did not work and caused an SGB. This has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-1761

The purgewastebin job would fail when purging pages that are linked in still published pages. This has been fixed now.


Gentics Content.Node 5.21.1


Bugfix SUP-1697

Pages containing tags that have values referencing a part of the construct which no longer exists could not be saved any more. This has been fixed now, such data inconsistencies will be cleaned automatically while saving.


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.


Bugfix SUP-1520

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 5.21.0


Optional Manual Change

This change only applies when not using the packaged JAVA (/Node/java doesn‘t exist). The java.sh script has been updated in order to allow using own JAVA installations.

AFTER updating, the java.sh file has to be replaced:

  • sudo -u node chmod u+w /Node/bin/java.sh
  • sudo -u node cp /Node/.node/CHANGELOG/scripts/content/java.sh /Node/bin/java.sh
  • sudo -u node chmod ugo+x /Node/bin/java.sh

Enhancement

A new flag “disinherit default“ has been added for all disinheritable objects. When creating a new channel, all objects with this flag will be automatically disinherited. It can be set in the “inheritance” dialog.


Enhancement

The REST API has been extended, to allow saving and creating nodes:

  • /node/create/ for creating a new node
  • /node/save/{id} for saving changes to a node

Enhancement

The publish process now prints the number of successfully published folders, pages and files after completion. This information will be output in the scheduler.


Enhancement

The new setting $NO_MAX_FILESIZE allows to disable the file upload limit for specific groups. See the Gentics Content.Node Guides for details.


Enhancement

Additional search filters in the following folder Rest API methods now allow to search for items which were created, edited or published before a certain timestamp.

  • /folder/getFolders
  • /folder/getPages
  • /folder/getFiles
  • /folder/getImages
  • /folder/getTemplates

Enhancement

The following new POST methods can be used to load multiple objects with a single request:

  • /folder/load
  • /page/load
  • /file/load
  • /image/load

Any objects that are not found, or for which the user does not have the necessary permissions, are ignored and will not be part of the resulting list.
