Gentics Content.Node 5.23.14
When applying this update, the packaged Tomcat will be updated to version 7.0.70 which contains important security and bug fixes. You can delete the old Tomcat directory (/Node/apache-tomcat-7.0.61) after updating.
Documentation
The documentation of the Aloha Editor configuration has been extended to cover extension of the toolbar settings.
Bugfix SUP-3106
A NullPointerException occured in the /folder/disinherit/{id}
REST endpoint if the parameter “exclude“ in the DisinheritRequest was set to true but the “disinherit“ and “reinherit” parameters where missing. Also some fields of the DisinheritRequest were undocumented. This has been fixed.
Bugfix SUP-3134
When an editable part of a construct was deleted, this could cause subsequent errors in the publish process when using the feature publish_cache due to incorrectly cleared caches. This has been fixed now.
Bugfix SUP-3176
When using the Feature dskeepselectvalues
with a part of type “Select (multiple)“ in the tagfill dialog, clicking “Apply“ and then “OK“ (or clicking “Apply” multiple times) would clear all selected values from the part. This has been fixed now.
Gentics Content.Node 5.23.13
Bugfix SUP-2790
Fixed the top menu not changing, after viewing/editing a content page and changing to another CMS page with the assistant.
Bugfix SUP-3107
When the feature activiti_integration
was activated and the CMS Tomcat not restarted, but only the configuration reloaded, a necessary background job was not started. This caused automatic handling of processes/tasks to not work. This has been fixed now.
Bugfix SUP-2768
When a new editable part is added to the construct used in object properties the existing object tags of objects were not properly updated when the object properties dialog was opened. This has been fixed now.
Bugfix SUP-3091
When a page is opened in edit mode of Aloha Editor and not saved within 10 minutes, the user‘s lock of the page was automatically lifted. This allowed other users to also edit the page, not aware that their changes could be overwritten by the first user. This has been fixed so that the lock on the page is updated on a regular basis as long as the first user keeps the page open in edit mode of Aloha Editor.
Bugfix SUP-3090
When a page is edited using Aloha Editor and the Tagfill Dialog is opened for a tag or the repository browser is opened, scrolling of the page is prevented.
Bugfix SUP-3087
The list of exports was created using inefficient SQL statements. This could cause timeout problems depending on the number of exports on the system and the user‘s paging setting. This update will create an index to speed up calculation of the number of warnings per export. Note that the change in the database structure might take longer than normal updates.
Bugfix SUP-3093
A tagpart of type “URL (page)“ was only treated as being “internal“, when the radio button for “internal“ was selected AND an actual internal page was selected. This caused new tags being marked as “external“, even if the default value was “internal“, but no default page selected. This has been fixed now, the property “internal” will now exactly reflect the setting of the radio buttons, regardless of whether an actual page is selected or not.
Bugfix SUP-2637
When using the GCN JS API to create tags in pages as copy of other tags, the callback passed to the function createTag
was in some cases not called. This has been fixed now.
Bugfix SUP-2917
A wrong permission check had the effect that the current folder was sometimes selected instead of the standard upload folder when uploading a file or an image in the tagfill. This happened if the user had no permissions for assigning user permission. This has been fixed. Now the current folder is only selected if the user has no permissions to view the standard upload folder.
Bugfix SUP-3099
In some cases, an additional tag was automatically added to rendered page sources, containing a Gentics Copyright notice. This has been removed now.
Bugfix SUP-2719
When using multithreaded publishing and a publish process failed, this could cause additional exceptions “Cannot add job to Multiconnection transaction: Worker thread is not running” to be logged. Handling of aborting publish processes with multithreaded publishing has been improved, so that exceptions will only be logged if they are a possible cause but not the consequence of the aborting process.
Gentics Content.Node 5.23.12
Documentation SUP-3028
The documentation of the Pageurl/Fileurl parttype now includes the information that the url property is only set for internal links.
Bugfix SUP-2587
The scheduler will now show more detailed information (the complete stacktrace with causing exceptions), when the publish run fails with an exception.
Bugfix SUP-2902
The tagfill dialog still showed the names of referenced objects, even if they were put into the wastebin. This has been fixed now.
Bugfix SUP-3024
When saving nodes using the REST API, setting the publish directory to empty did not work. Also when setting the publish directory to “/”, this was not corrected to be saved as empty. Both issues have been fixed.
Bugfix SUP-3024
Under special circumstances, the dependency calculation for a modified node or folder could fail with a NullPointerException, which has been fixed now.
Bugfix SUP-3020
When objects in a multichannelling environment were published into a contentrepository with the permission information added, the permissions of localized folders were not correctly inherited from their master folder. This has been fixed now.
Bugfix SUP-2927
When a folder is deleted (put into the wastebin), a check was done for objects having localized copies in the structure, which would also be deleted. This check has been extended to also check for local objects (objects that were created in subchannels of the deleted folder‘s channel).
Bugfix SUP-3037
When a specific magiclinkconstruct was configured, the links were still rendered as blocks (with edit icon) in edit mode. This has been fixed now.
Bugfix SUP-2789
The synchronization of pages with changes made to template tags was inconsistent and has been modified:
- When a template is modified in the UI, and saved without synchronizing pages, no page will be modified (prior to this fix, removed template tags were immediately also removed from the pages).
- Synchronizing the pages with the template will now also remove superfluous tags in the page if the corresponding template tag was removed or changed to not be editable in pages.
- When a template is imported, all pages will be synchronized in the same way.
This fix contains a change in the database structure, which could cause the update to take longer than usual.
Bugfix SUP-2995
When the master page of a localized copy was taken offline, editors were notified that pages in the channel linking to the localized copy contained an invalid link now, although the link was still valid (linking the localized copy). This has been fixed now.
Bugfix SUP-3066
When a new inline editable part was added to a construct and pages containing tags of that construct were edited using Aloha Editor, the new parts could not be filled unless the page was saved once. This has been fixed now.
Bugfix SUP-3024
When editing the node properties and the checkbox “Separate directories“ is not checked, data entered in the field “Page directory“ should be copied into the (disabled) field “Binary directory”, which did not work. This has been fixed now.
Bugfix SUP-2985
Objects (files, images, pages or folders) that were restored from the wastebin did not automatically republish other objects that directly referenced the restored object. This has been fixed now.
Bugfix SUP-3003
The assistant frame would not show the correct number of images in a folder, when there was an active filter for the images. This has been fixed.
Gentics Content.Node 5.23.11
Optional Manual Change
The implementation of the gtxalohapagelink tag has been updated because it did not work correctly for links to images.
In Detail: the implementation used a fixed type “10008“ for files and images, but images have the type “10011“. The corrected implementation reads the url target type correctly with “${parts.fileurl.target.ttype}“. Please update your implementation of the tagtype “gxtalohapagelink” accordingly to fix this problem.
Optional Manual Change
Various fixes have been made to the activiti integration:
- Group permissions on the “Task Management“ will now be mapped to group types in activiti
- The modal dialog for tasks will now display newline characters in the task description as line breaks.
- Minor styling issues have been fixed.
- Users can now delete tasks they have created.
- The button to complete a task is now labelled with “Complete task“
- The list of completed tasks is now labelled with “Completed tasks”
- eMails that were sent for inbox messages regarding tasks contained a placeholder for the task, which has been removed.
- Opened tasks will now be added to the history in the assistent frame.
Installations using the Activiti Integration need to have the Activiti Server updated to get those fixes.
Bugfix SUP-2967
Fixed the quickjump also opening deleted pages when pressing enter instead of selecting an autocomplete result. Deleted pages will not be opened anymore. Also disabled the cache for the autocompletion as it could show old search results.
Bugfix SUP-2549
Pagetags were still rendered, even if the targeted page was put into the wastebin. This has been fixed now.
Bugfix SUP-2968
When the publish directory of a folder or the hostname of a node was changed, republishing of pages did not always work correctly, when the node published only into the file system. This has been fixed now.
Bugfix SUP-2926
Objects that were put into the wastebin and restored from the wastebin between two publish runs where sometimes incorrectly removed from the content repository during the next publish run. This has been fixed now.
Gentics Content.Node 5.23.10
Bugfix SUP-2981
Rendered plinks always contained the parameter channelid
, when source and target of the link were in different nodes. This has been fixed now, so that the parameter channelid
will only be added to the plink, when source and target nodes are different, and the target node actually is a channel.
Gentics Content.Node 5.23.9
Optional Manual Change
Several minor issues in the Activiti UI have been fixed:
- Task lists were empty, when no paging was selected in the user settings
- Some layout issues with the pagination have been fixed
- It is now possible to filter for tasks created by the current user
- Task lists will now by default be sorted by creation time with newest task first
Installations using the Activiti Integration need to have the Activiti Server updated to get those fixes.
Bugfix SUP-2872
Files and folders were not correctly published after restoring them from the wastebin. This has been fixed.
Bugfix SUP-2162
When using the CASIntegrationFilter or HttpAuthFilter for SSO to the CMS backend, it could be possible that multiple identical users were created in the CMS backend database, if multiple concurrent requests with the same new user where done. This has been fixed now.
Bugfix SUP-2829
Removing a construct from a node failed with the incorrect error message “Array”, if the construct would only be linked to nodes that user had no permission to unlink constructs from. This has been fixed now.
Bugfix SUP-2704
An internal pool for prepared database statements was not properly sized and could consume a large amount of memory during a long running publish process. This could lead to memory exhaustion and failing publish processes. The maximum number of pooled connections has been reduced to 10000 by default, and can now be configured as described in the guides.
Bugfix SUP-2620
The SQL Statements used to get the migration status for tagtype migrations was inefficient and could cause long running REST Requests. This has been fixed. Additionally, it is now possible to configure the polling interval for getting the migration status (default is still 1 second). See the guides for details. If the previous request to get the migration status did not return before the next request is due, the next request will be omitted now.
Bugfix SUP-2620
Requests to the REST API created write locks to the user‘s systemsession entry, that would persist for the whole request duration. This caused parallel requests with the same session to be blocked until the first request was finished. This has been fixed now, the write lock to the systemsession will be lifted as soon as possible.
Bugfix SUP-2860
Due to an incorrect consistency check, it was not possible to reinherit an object into a channel, when the parent folder was localized in that channel. This has been fixed now.
Gentics Content.Node 5.23.8
Optional Manual Change
The datasource “[Navigation] sortby“ in our Standard CMS installation can‘t be used for folder sorting in navigations unless you change the entry “Folder Sorting / Ordnersortierung“ from “obj.sortby“ to “object.sortorder”. This is fixed in the mysql dump for new installations.
Bugfix SUP-2594
ContentRepository browser: An error was printed, when one of the CRs is using the same MySQL username and password like the CMS itself and persistent database connections are activated. This has been fixed.
Bugfix SUP-2863
Rest API: Fixed a bug in the auth/validate method where a session with ID -1 was considered as valid.
Bugfix SUP-2877
The elements selection of an overview could contain elements that were already put into the wastebin (deleted). This has been fixed.
Bugfix SUP-2833
An error in the node library has been fixed, which could cause the CMS to hang when using instant publishing into multichannelling aware contentrepositories.
Bugfix SUP-2810
If users where deactivated in the CMS, but not removed from their groups, those users were still returned by the list
method of the REST API. This has been fixed now.
Gentics Content.Node 5.23.7
Optional Manual Change
Fixed a bug that breaks updating the CMS from the local filesystem. If you currently have a version installed, that has been released between 23.03.2016 and 24.05.2016, please read this page in order to update.
Bugfix SUP-2810
The activiti integration has been improved:
- Task lists and process lists can now be sorted
- The paging of task and process lists is taken from the user settings
- Process filters have been improved
- Group names of Activiti groups contain the paths of the CMS Groups
- Tasks can be filtered for “eligible“ tasks (current user is candidate)
- Tasks can be filtered for “finished” tasks (finished by current user)
- Comments and file attachments can be configured per task key
- The usertask dialog has been improved (task must be claimed before it can be finished)
- Several styling issues have been fixed
Bugfix SUP-2233
Fixed a “Data inconsistent” (missing construct) error that could happen when loading, saving or publishing objects that have been created during the deletion of a tagtype. This affected content tags, template tags and object tags.
Gentics Content.Node 5.23.6
Bugfix SUP-2816
If a user had no paging acitivated he could still only see a maximum of 18 entries in the wastebin. This has been fixed.
Bugfix SUP-2794
The constraint expression in the Activiti configuration was not evaluated in the scope of the triggering object‘s channel. This has been fixed.
Also a typo in the configuration examples has been fixed.
Bugfix SUP-2683
On some occasions page links where missing in inbox messages. This bug was introduced with GCN Version 5.22.15 and does not affect previous major releases. This has been fixed.
Gentics Content.Node 5.23.5
Documentation SUP-2577
Added a missing migration step in the package migration guide for “SUSE Enterprise Linux Server”. ImageMagick also has to be installed during the package migration.
Bugfix
The publish log will now contain render times for the content and other attributes of pages separately.
Bugfix SUP-2775
When selecting objects in the repository browser from a channel in order to create a link to the object, the channel ID will now be set into the link. This allows creation of channel specific links by using a special implementation of the Aloha Link Tagtype.
Bugfix SUP-2750
When using the old archive workflow to move files into another folder (instead of deleting them), the workflow failed, when the archive folder already contained a file with a name that was only different in case. This has been fixed now.
Bugfix SUP-2475
The unlocalize
REST endpoints required the channel sync permission to unlocalize object, even when a user had enough permissions to delete them. This has been fixed.
Bugfix SUP-2753
The DPI value shown for a file in the image list of a folder wasn‘t always correct and sometimes differed from the DPI value from the Rest API/database. The DPI value output is now the same.
Bugfix SUP-2731
When a node was copied, where the source node contained templates that were linked to folders in the wastebin, the copies of the templates were also linked to the source folders in the wastebin. This has been fixed now, the copied templates will only be linked to folders in the target node.
Bugfix SUP-2775
When the channel directive #gtx_channel
is used with an empty channel id, it will no longer log an error but will not change the channel scope (as if the channel directive was not used at all).
Bugfix SUP-2783
The error message for duplicate folder names (when creating or updating a folder) will now contain the full path of the conflicting folder. When the conflicting folder exists in another channel, the path will be shown in that channel.
Bugfix SUP-2776
Fixed inconsistent user IDs in pages causing the publishing of the demo node to fail. This only affected fresh installations with 5.23.x.
Bugfix SUP-2728
The cache for node objects can now be individually configured for object type. See the Guides for details.
Bugfix SUP-2634
Enhanced fetching the latest available CMS update from the update server, so it doesn‘t block the CMS start page loading unnecessarily. That means if the update server is unreachable, the start page will still work. Also the current CMS version is now read from the Rest API, and not the database anymore.
Bugfix SUP-2728
The performance for the display of objects in the wastebin has been improved. The object counts in the assistent frame will now be fetched asynchronously. This means that the numbers might appear (or be updated) with a slight delay.
Gentics Content.Node 5.23.4
Bugfix SUP-2736
Installation: The SQL dump contained trigger information that could cause SQL errors when the MySQL user didn‘t match ‘node_cms@localhost. The triggers have been removed out of the dump file.
Bugfix SUP-2730
When copying a page to the root folder of a channel it was copied to the master of the root folder of the channel instead. This has been fixed.
Bugfix SUP-2736
Installation: Enhanced the database import script to be more bulletproof.
Gentics Content.Node 5.23.3
Bugfix
The publish statistics for rendering pages have been improved to distinguish between rendering content and rendering other attributes.
Bugfix SUP-2718
LDAP: Fixed an issue with Windows 2003 Active Directory referrals when someone tries to login by setting the LDAP_OPT_REFERRALS option to 0. If you encounter an error after updating, please set the setting $LDAP_LOGIN[‘referrals‘] = 1; in the configuration.
Bugfix SUP-2717
Fixed a problem where the permissions of templates linked to a folder in the wastebin only can‘t be determined anymore. This can cause imports to fail with an “Insufficient permissions” error.
Bugfix SUP-2702
When changing the definition of an object property, the internal cache of the definition was not invalidated correctly. This could cause the change not to take effect immediately. When, for example, the “inheritable” flag of folder object property definition was changed, and a new folder was created, it could happen that the old inheritance behavior was executed. This has been fixed now.
Bugfix SUP-2714
A language in a node can‘t be deactivated when there is a page in the wastebin for this language. The error message has been improved to also display the count of pages in the wastebin for this language.
Bugfix SUP-2717
Previously, templates that were only linked to one folder were wrongly deleted when the folder was moved to the wastebin. Now templates will only be removed when a folder is permanently deleted.
Bugfix SUP-2721
Multichannelling: Renaming the publish directory of a localized folder back to the one of the master folder didn‘t work in some cases. This has been fixed.
Gentics Content.Node 5.23.2
Documentation SUP-2698
Updated compatibility list and installation guide. It is mandatory to use the Oracle JDK with Gentics CMS.
Documentation SUP-2664
A note has been added to the faq for contentrepositories that explains the output of the data check.
Bugfix SUP-2635
Changing permissions produced unnecessary database locks. This could cause errors while changing permissions due to lock wait timeouts. The SQL statements for changing permissions have been modified to avoid unnecessary locks and reduce the possibility for lock wait timeout errors.
Gentics Content.Node 5.23.1
Bugfix SUP-2376
Aloha links were rendered with the “aloha-block” CSS class, which was removed when the page was fully loaded. This lead Aloha editor to believe pages containing links have been modified, even if nothing was changed. This has been fixed.
Bugfix
PLinks with attributes other than id
were not processed properly by the Aloha renderer which could cause problems with front end editing. This has been fixed.
Bugfix SUP-2419
Fixed the following bugs in the task management view:
- when viewing a task, its name was not properly translated
- filtering tasks by name was case sensitive
- the OK button in the bulk edit confirmation was always disabled
- when a task had no due date set, this information was not visible in the edit dialog
Gentics Content.Node 5.23.0
When applying this update, the packaged Tomcat will be updated to version 7.0.68 which contains important security and bug fixes. You can delete the old Tomcat directory (/Node/apache-tomcat-7.0.*) after updating.
Enhancement
The Activiti Integration Feature can now react to certain “CMS events” like saving, deleting or moving objects and publishing pages. Please refer to the Activiti configuration documentation for further details.
Enhancement
The REST API has been extended:
New REST endpoints The following endpoints will return a list of localized copies together with their channel IDs for the respective object types:
/file/localizations/{id}
/folder/localizations/{id}
/image/localizations/{id}
/page/localizations/{id}
If the feature activiti_integration
is activated, two new endpoints are available:
/activiti/processqueue
returns a list of processes due to be triggered/activiti/status
returns status information about the connected activiti server
Enhanced REST endpoint The endpoint /folder/breadcrumb{id}
now accepts an optional query parameter tags
. If this parameter is true
each folder in the breadcrumb list will also contain information about the tags associated with the folder.
Enhancement SUP-37
The package contained some default users, which are normally not used. They have been removed from the package now. When updating, those users will also be deactivated, if they never have been used.
Enhancement
Added a new script called “setup-database.php”, that allows you to import the SQL structure needed for the CMS setup. Read the installation documentation for more details.
Enhancement SUP-2320
With setting the new JVM parameter com.gentics.contentnode.exitonstartuperror to true the startup behaviour of the Tomcat can be changed:
If the CMS Webapp fails to start and the JVM parameter is set, the Tomcat will be terminated. The default behaviour is such that the Tomcat will be started, even if the CMS Webapp cannot be started.
Enhancement
A new Velocity directive #gtx_channel
has been added, which allows to render velocity code in the scope of another channel. Please read the Guides for more information.
Enhancement
The new Part Type “Node” allows selection of a Node.
Bugfix SUP-1632
Installation Package: Correctly install and enable nodectl service.
Bugfix
The REST endpoints /node/create
and /node/save/{id}
ignored the languagesId
field. This has been fixed.
Bugfix
The presence of certain query parameters for the REST endpoint /user/list
could cause the request to fail. This has been fixed.
