Bugfix SUP-5757

UI: Ignore “#” links in internal link handling

Bugfix SUP-5804

When a tag is selected (by clicking on it) and then removed with the keyboard, the user will now get a confirmation dialog for deleting the tag. This behaviour is now consistent with deleting a tag with the “delete” button.

Gentics Content.Node 5.29.6

Bugfix SUP-5609

When templates were pushed to a master node from a localized folder, the templates would not be shown in that folder anymore (neither in the channel, nor the master) due to an incorrect assignment. This error has been fixed and the update will automatically repair the incorrect assigments, so that any incorrectly assigned templates will reappear.

Bugfix SUP-5754

Bugfix SUP-5493

A performance issue when rendering certain tags has been fixed.

Gentics Content.Node 5.29.5

Gentics Content.Node 5.29.4

Bugfix SUP-5668

UI: When editing a page, the page was marked as being modified too often (even when there was no actual change), which caused a warning about unsaved changes when leaving the edit mode (e.g. switching to preview). This has been changed now, so that the page will only be marked modified, if actually changed.

Bugfix SUP-5659

UI: A number of issues relating to the Elasticsearch feature have been fixed, including: inconsistent results between regular and advanced searches; inability to select current date in filters; incorrect wildcard handling; incorrect display of pagination links when navigating with an active filter.

When using MariaDB in the backend, the session handling could cause some locks in the database, which caused SGBs. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-4017

The check for the DB triggers on JVM startup failed to detect non-existent Definers in triggers. This could happen, when the user with which the database was originally created was dropped, or when the triggers were migrated between systems.

Gentics Content.Node 5.27.2

Deleting an item from the wastebin has been renamed from “Remove from wastebin“ to “Delete“ for usability reasons, so that it‘s better distinguishable from the “Restore” operation.

Optional Manual Change

Changed the Tomcat maxThreads setting to 256 for the AJP connector in server.xml in the default package configuration. If your Apache webserver is allowing more than 200 connections you will need to make sure that the Tomcat can also handle at least as many connections (MaxThreads) as the MaxClients setting in Apache (default 256). Please configure this in server.xml for AJP connector if not already done in order to avoid errors.

Bugfix SUP-3980

Don‘t show “save/discard changes?” modal after publishing

Gentics Content.Node 5.27.1

Optional Manual Change

Updated the Oracle JDBC connector to 5.1.41 in order to fix a bug with MySQL 5.7 where the CMS would throw an error when trying to check and update the MySQL database triggers. For newer MySQL server versions the JDBC connector will now use SSL for connections by default. However SSL also comes with a performance impact. If you don‘t need SSL for connections to the MySQL database (eg.: when MySQL is running on the same server), we recommend to turn SSL off by adding useSSL=false to the MySQL JDBC URL.

This is done in the node.conf of your cms installation. By default the configuration file is found at /Node/etc/conf.d/node.db.conf. If there is no such file – create it.
In the node.db.conf create the following entry:
bc. $SETTINGS[“jdbcparameters“] = “useSSL=false“;
If the jdbcparameters index is already set concatenate parameters with “&“ like
bc. $SETTINGS[“jdbcparameters“] = “someOtherParam=1&useSSL=false”;
When using SSL, server certificate verification should be enabled and configured properly according to the MySQL documentation. See Connecting Securely Using SSL for more information.

Bugfix SUP-4081

Some icons in the CMS UI were missing tooltips, which have been added now.

Bugfix SUP-4079

When using the “cancel” action from the related links from the translation split view, the split view was not closed, but showed the page list in the lower part. This has been fixed, cancel will now close the split view and show the page list in the whole frame.

Bugfix SUP-4121

An error in the Java REST API Client, which was introduced with the Update of Jersey has been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-4111

When tags of a template were changed to use a different construct, the synchronization with pages did not change the tags in the page, if the page was imported. This has been fixed now, synchronization of pages with their templates will now work regardless of how the page was created.

Bugfix SUP-4082

When the permission to view pages was granted through roles, the pages were not always shown in the page list correctly. Especially the list of pages using other items (like specific images) was not always correct. This has been fixed now.

Gentics Content.Node 5.27.0

Security SUP-2676

The node user doesn‘t have a password now by default (new CMS installations). See: How can i set the password of the node CMS user?.

Bugfix SUP-4021

When objects were moved between channels, the search for conflicting localized copies did not always check the wastebin, which could cause data inconsistencies.

Bugfix SUP-3543

In certain situations closing the tagfill dialog in a page could cause the scrollbar to jump to the beginning of the page or editable. This has been fixed. After closing the tagfill, the page will now remain on the same positions as before the tagfill was opened.

Documentation SUP-3952

A page with details on the “ExpressionParser for TagMap Entries” has been added to the documentation.

Documentation SUP-3934

Added missing documentation on how to setup support for Oracle or SQL-Server Content Repositories in the CMS.

Bugfix SUP-3915

JavaScript errors thrown in a PubSub-event-handler in the GCN-JS-API caused an immediate stop of the script‘s execution and could lead to an inconsistent state in the JS-API in the browser. This has been fixed: all errors thrown by an event-handler will be catched and logged back to the console.

Bugfix SUP-3592

When objects were exported that referenced objects of other nodes, an optional reference to the node was created, even if the referenced object was in the wastebin. When objects were exported that contained objects of other nodes in an overview with sticky channel, no optional reference to the other node was created. Both issues have been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-3926

The permission checks for some rarely used administrative functions have been improved.

Bugfix SUP-3876

When translating a page to the same language that already exists in the wastebin and as not deleted page, it was possible that the translation would create a duplicate of that page. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-3867

Some actions in the CMS (like e.g. filling a tagtype) could lead to SGBs, when they were performed with a fresh session without selecting a node first. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-3908

When groups with subgroups were deleted in the CMS, the Java caches were not properly cleared, which could cause subsequent errors. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-3873

When an update of an import would remove a template in the CMS, which is still used by pages, the resulting conflict could be handled with the behaviour “Overwrite“ which would remove the template and leave the pages in an inconsistent state. This has been fixed now, such conflicts can now only be handled with behaviour “Ignore” (leaving the template untouched).

Bugfix SUP-3591

When a node is copied (with pages) and objects reference pages in the wastebin, the copies of the objects would reference the same pages, which caused unexpected results, when the reference pages were restored from the wastebin. This has been fixed now, references to pages in the wastebin will be unset for the copied objects.

Gentics Content.Node 5.26.8

Enhancement SUP-3699

It is now possible to use a custom location for the configuration file of the Task Management App (gentics-activiti.properties). This is useful when the application server on which the Task Management App is deployed does not have access to the /Node/etc/ directory which is the default location for the configuration file.

Bugfix SUP-3878

Some german umlauts were wrongly encoded. This bug only affected the cms webinterface. This has been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-3725

The internal pools for prepared SQL statements used large amounts of Java Heap Space, which could cause memory problems (including OutOfMemory exceptions). Therefore pooling of SQL Statements has been disabled.

Bugfix SUP-3857

Flash movies stored in the CMS could not be viewed in pages in preview-mode or edit-mode because the cms delivered them as attachment to the browser. (HTTP-header “Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=example.swf“) This has been fixed, the CMS will now set the proper HTTP-headers for flash videos. Additionally to get flash videos working in the CMS it is necessary to set the proper “type“ and “data” attributes on the flash OBJECT-html-tag, e.g.: <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="<node videourl>">

Gentics Content.Node 5.26.7

Documentation SUP-2680

Updated documentation to avoid a common mistake in velocity implementions from tagtypes that are editable with the aloha editor.

Bugfix SUP-3797

When publishing into a content repository with instant publishing, access to the content repository was locked longer and more often than necessary. This could cause congestion of instant publishing requests. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-3837

Files that were imported from a thirdparty media asset system using the file_fetch feature into folders with restricted inheritance (in a multichannelling environment), were not restricted in their inheritance, which subsequently caused errors in the publish process. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-3786

When selecting pages for an overview by clicking the language icon of the page in the repository browser, an SGB occurred while saving the tag. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-3858

Objects containing nested object tags were exported and imported in way which could subsequently cause errors when loading those objects via the REST API. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-3819

When a node publishes into a multichannelling aware contentrepository, all channels of the node will automatically also publish into that contentrepository. This auto-assignment was not shown in the list of nodes or considered when checking the data of the contentrepository for channels that were created after the node was assigned to the contentrepository. In such cases, the result of the “Check data“ operation for the contentrepository would incorrectly state, that the channel was not assigned to the contentrepository and its data would be removed in the next publish run (which was not the case). This has been fixed now. The “Check data” operation will correctly consider the auto-assignment of channels to multichannelling aware contentrepositories exactly like the publish process does.

Bugfix SUP-3811

When rendering a tag of another page with the render directive, tags contained in the rendered tag were resolved in the scope of the original page. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-3830

When objects were exported where the name contained some characters which are not allowed in attribute values of XML nodes, the resulting XML files was invalid. This caused errors while importing. Generation of the XML files has been fixed now, so that the invalid characters will be removed from the names. Additionally, the handling of invalid XML files while importing has been improved to provide explicit error messages hinting at the root cause.

Bugfix SUP-3849

If a tag contained javascript the code wasn‘t executed again after opening and closing the tagfill. This bug was introduced with bugfix SUP-3724 in version 5.23.28 and has been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-3601

When a user tried to create a language variant of a page, where this language variant was put into the wastebin before, and the user had no permission to delete pages in the folder, an error occurred.

Gentics Content.Node 5.26.6

Optional Manual Change

The implementation of the gtxalohapagelink tag has been updated to prevent errors when saving a page.

In Detail: The variable “$parts.fileurl.target.id” was used without checking if it was empty. This caused an erroneous rendering when the tag linked to a file that has been deleted preventing users to save a page after editing.

Bugfix SUP-3780

The permission checks when localizing objects over the REST API were too restrictive for users with permissions restricted to channels. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-3743

When publishing files into a ContentRepository, errors like com.gentics.api.lib.exception.NodeException: Error while adding a dependency where logged. Those errors had no functional consequence and will be omitted now.

Bugfix SUP-3679

Copying a localized copy of a file always produced an error message. This has been fixed now. When a localized copy of a file is copied, the copy will be created in the same channel now.

Bugfix SUP-3808

When an object with localized copies in channels was moved (in its master node) and the node published into a Content Repository with Instant Publishing enabled, all localized copies were also instantly written into the Content Repository. This could cause the move process to take longer than expected and was inconsistent behaviour (since Instant Publishing normally does not affect inherited or localized copies in channels, when the master object was changed). This has been fixed now, moving objects will trigger Instant Publishing only for the master object itself.

Gentics Content.Node 5.26.5

Bugfix SUP-3775

Applying object properties of folders to subfolders did not work for channel local or localized folders and has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-3752

Documentation SUP-3719

The Part Types documentation has been updated.

Bugfix SUP-3724

After modifying a tag in the tagfill when editing a page the tag in the page was not updated correctly if the root element of the tag changed. For example, if the root element from the tag changes from a span to a div, the updated page would still render the block with a span root tag, which could also lead to invalid markup. This has been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-3739

When publishing multiple nodes (with their channels) into the same Multichannelling aware ContentRepository, the ContentRepository Maintenance action Clean data would incorrectly remove objects from the ContentRepository for the master nodes. This has been fixed now. In cases, where objects have been incorrectly removed, the master nodes must be republished using the content maintenance.

Bugfix SUP-3614

If the startpage of a folder was moved to the wastebin (deleted) the flag symbol indicating the startpage was still visible in the page list for other language variants of the same page. This could lead to the assumption that the folder has a startpage set when the startpage was deleted instead. This has been fixed.

When moving a localized folder in a multichannelling environment, the localized copies did not get their parent‘s folder_id updated in the content repository. This has been fixed now.

Gentics Content.Node 5.25.7

Bugfix SUP-3347

When evaluation of tagmap entries failed with unexpected errors (like NullPointerException) while publishing an object into a content repository, the logged error suppressed the expression causing the error. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-3547

Saving an overview listing folders in the tagfill dialog failed with an SGB. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-3378

Some minor issues with the detection of GCMS version numbers from local updatefiles have been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-3527

The statement used to get the templates using a specific page (in a pagetag) was inefficient and could cause timeouts in the page list. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-3367

Selecting some text in the tagfill with the chrome browser was not working as expected after opening and closing the RepositoryBrowser without selecting any objects. This has been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-3538

Bugfix SUP-3491

The script /Node/bin/nodectl sometimes showed an error when stopping Tomcat, although stopping finally worked. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-3324

When a localized or local page was edited in a channel, the setting for whether to use Aloha Editor was always taken from the master node, not from the channel. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-3501

When a folder was moved into another folder with more restrictive inheritance settings (in a multichannelling environment), and the moved folder ~~or any of its subfolders~~ contained objects in the wastebin which would not allow restricting the inheritance, the move operation did not fail with an explicit message naming the conflicting object, but failed with a general error message. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-3435

When a tagtype contained multiple parts of type URL (page) and one of them referenced a page in the wastebin, opening the tagfill dialog failed with an SGB. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-3503

When the tagtype of an object property definition was changed, already existing object tags were not migrated, unless the change was done with the feature “tagtype migration”. This has been changed now. Existing object tags are migrated, when the object properties of an object are shown in the object properties dialog, or the object is loaded for editing.

Bugfix SUP-3478

When a new tag was created in a page as copy of another tag with the Gentics Content.Node JavaScript API, the internal cache of the page was cleared which could lead to inconsistent behaviour. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-3514

The default upload folders for images and files could not be unset, once they were set. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-3334

The regexes contained in the package, which can be used for text parts of constructs did not have proper english translations, which have been added now.

Gentics Content.Node 5.25.6

Gentics Content.Node 5.25.5

Bugfix SUP-3320

When editing a page with aloha editor, and a tag in an editable was refreshed (e.g. because the tag had been modified using the tagfill dialog), and the tag contained a nested tag in an editable, sometimes the order of initialization of the nested blocks and editables was incorrect and could cause side-effects. One of this side-effects was the automatic modification of editables through the browser when using internet explorer by inserting a br-tag. The initialization order of nested tags has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-3457

Purging the wastebin from many deleted folders consumed a big amount of memory, which could cause OutOfMemory errors. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-3488

The repository browser didn‘t work in the tagfill dialog when the multichannelling feature was not enabled. This has been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-3458

When using the feature attribute_dirting together with instant_cr_publishing and multichannelling, it could happen that objects that were modified again during a publish run for which they were scheduled to be published were not published correctly into channels (not all attributes were updated for the channels). This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-3441

When the feature activiti_integration was used and a process was configured for the event onPagePublish publishing a new page (which was never published before) with publish at failed with an internal error. Also processes configured for the events onPagePublish or onPageTakeOffline where not started for pages that went on- or offline due to time management. Both issues have been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-3354

When a page rendered the tag of another page, which rendered a velocity overview containing the original page, and a tag of the original page was rendered that resolved , this was incorrectly not resolved to the name of the page in the overview, but the name of the page containing the overview. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-3413

When the type of a part in a construct was changed from Select (single) or Select (multiple) to Checkbox, the values of already existing tags where not consistently interpreted: # The tagfill dialog and the REST API showed the checkbox to not be checked # While rendering, the checkbox was treated as being checked. The tag had to be filled once to fix this behaviour. This issue has been fixed now, the checkbox will now consistenly be handled as “not checked”.

Gentics Content.Node 5.25.4

Bugfix SUP-3329

When a master object was deleted and localized at the same time (by different users), this could cause a data inconsistency. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-3424

If there was a publishrun between two imports of the same contentrepository, the second import would show a conflict for this contentrepository. This has been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-3405

In multichannelling environments, the dependencies of images were sometimes not stored correctly, which could cause the automatic dirting mechanism to fail dirting images. This has been fixed now. This change does not automatically fix probably missing dependencies, in order to recalculate the dependencies, it is necessary to republish all files from the maintenance dialog.

Bugfix SUP-3274

Setting the publish directory for a folder and all its subfolders may take a long time. This action has been modified to be continued in the background if it takes longer than 5 seconds. Before this fix, the long running request could cause a timeout, which was shown as error in the properties dialog of the folder.

Bugfix SUP-3283

When copying a node together with its templates and some of the templates were assigned to folders in other nodes, the copies of those templates were also assigned to the folders of the other nodes. This has been fixed now. The copied templates will only be assigned to folders of the node copy.

Bugfix SUP-3392

When images are uploaded where the DPI cannot be determined, the DPI was set to 72 per default. This has been changed now, so that the DPI is internally set to 0. The image list will now show ‘N/A‘ for the DPI value in such cases. Images that are already uploaded will not be affected by this change, unless they are uploaded again.

Gentics Content.Node 5.25.0

Manual Change

The new Gentics CMS UI requires an additional symlink within the htdocs folder. You can create the needed symlink using the following command:
ln -s /Node/.node/ui /Node/var/httpd/htdocs/.Node/ui

Enhancement GTXPE-36

The following part types have been extended to store the node from which internal target objects were selected:

URL (page)
URL (image)
URL (file)
URL (folder)

Those part types will expose the node as attribute node and the node ID as attribute nodeId. Please see the Meta Attributes in the Guides for implementation details. Also consult the guides page about the Aloha Editor Page Link Tag
It is important to note, that this change breaks Import/Export compatibility with older version of the Gentics CMS. It will no longer be possible to import data containing URL parttypes from Gentics CMS Version starting with 5.25.0 to Gentics CMS Versions older than

5.21.40 (Michelangelo)
5.22.36 (Raphael)
5.23.17 (Grizzly)

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-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-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-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-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-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-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-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-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.

The “cancel” option to throw away all changes done to a page is now also available in the assistant frame.

Enhancement

When using the feature Publish Cache, the content maintenance dialog now has an option to clear the publish cache for pages that are dirted using the maintenance tool.

Enhancement

The new feature Attribute Dirting can reduce publish times when publishing into Content Repositories by only dirting and rendering attributes, that depend on changed data.

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-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.

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-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-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-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-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.

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-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-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-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.

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-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-2863

Rest API: Fixed a bug in the auth/validate method where a session with ID -1 was considered as valid.

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-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.

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

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-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.

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.

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-2728

The cache for node objects can now be individually configured for object type. See the Guides for details.

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.

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-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-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-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-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-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-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.

Gentics Content.Node 5.23.4

Bugfix SUP-2736

Installation: Enhanced the database import script to be more bulletproof.

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.

Gentics Content.Node 5.23.3

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.

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-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

The publish statistics for rendering pages have been improved to distinguish between rendering content and rendering other attributes.

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-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.

Gentics Content.Node 5.23.2

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

/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.

Bugfix SUP-1632

Installation Package: Correctly install and enable nodectl service.

Bugfix

The presence of certain query parameters for the REST endpoint /user/list could cause the request to fail. This has been fixed.

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-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-2511

Creating a copy of an image immediately after cropping would fail without an error message. This has been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-2555

When publishing into a ContentRepository with instant publishing, objects that were disinherited in some channels were incorrectly removed from the ContentRepository completely (for all channels). This has been fixed now. Since changing the inheritance of objects possibly affects many objects, instant publishing has been turned off for changing the inheritance. After changing the inheritance of objects, a publish process is required to add or remove objects to/from the ContentRepository.

Bugfix SUP-2451

Aloha Editor gcn-plugin: Since the bugfix for SUP-2365, the editable configuration for the insert-tag buttons didn‘t work correctly anymore. This has been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-2184

When Drag & Drop was disabled and several occurrences of the same tag (that is with the same tag ID, not just the same tag type) were present in nested editables, the edit and delete icons could be inactive. This has been fixed.
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. This fix just prevents certain subsequent errors when duplicates of a tag are already present in the page.

Rest API: Passing global object IDs in the new UUID format didn‘t work. This has been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-2429

Java rest client: Fixed the jackson object mapper throwing a parse error when calling the rest method “construct.list“. In order to fix this the method “Construct.getMayBeSubTag“ has been renamed to “Construct.getMayBeSubtag”.

tags. This has been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-2353

When a new tag was inserted into a page using Aloha Editor and then the user navigated away from the page (without saving first), the page was not saved and the user did not get the notification about unsaved changes in the page. This has been fixed now. The user will get a notification about unsaved changes in such cases.

Bugfix SUP-2338

The background job for cleaning old systemsessions could cause deadlocks in the database, which caused errors while users tried to log in into the backend. Those deadlocks have been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-2303

If there are two consecutive tables in an editable, the draghandle of the second table could overlap cells from the first table. This has been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-2177

When using the GCN filelink plugin the filelink tag was not removed, when the link was changed to an external URL. This has been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-2284

Certain corrupt images files (e.g. empty files) could cause the publish process to fail, when the image needed to be resized by the GenticsImageStore. This has been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-2305

When publishing images/files into a contentrepository and having the attribute binarycontent set to be a filesystem attribute, in some rare cases it could happen, that the attribute contained old data. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-2234

When images used in the GenticsImageStore were put into the wastebin, this sometimes could let the publish process fail with “Couldn‘t find image { [ID] } to link”. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-2029

The version difference view didn‘t correctly work for HTML pages. This has been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-2184

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 edit and delete icons could be inactive. This has been fixed.
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 duplicates of a tag are already present in the page. The different occurrences of a tag are not necessarily synchronized.

Bugfix SUP-1804

Fixed a bug with siteminder datasources, where the reading of the datasource values didn‘t work, when the publish_cache feature is activated.

Bugfix SUP-2222

After editing the page properties and saving the changes, the page was not unlocked. This has been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-2248

When using the features publish_cache, wastebin and multichannelling and a localized page was put in the wastebin, the inherited page was not contained in the list of pages in a folder, if rendered in velocity. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-2256

In the page list view the sequence of the columns was mixed up after a new column was added in bugfix SUP-1815. This has been fixed.

Gentics Content.Node 5.22.5

Gentics Content.Node 5.22.3

Bugfix SUP-2147

When the publish process was interrupted while synchronizing deleted objects with content repositories, the publish process did not stop, but just skipped over to the next step (publishing pages). This has been fixed now, when the publish process is interrupted in that state, it will stop as soon as possible.

Bugfix SUP-2176

When inserting a file link, with the FileLink plugin the freshly inserted link was not visible for editing. This has been fixed.

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.

Gentics Content.Node 5.22.2

Enhancement

The REST API has been extended:
New REST endpoints

/language/list returns a list of all available content languages
/node/getLanguages/{id} returns a list of all content languages for the specified node
/perm/list/{type} lists all groups with with their permission bits for the given object type

Enhanced REST endpoints

/user/list has new query parameter search to search in login, firstName, lastName and email
/user/list result can be sorted by id
/user/list has new query parameter group to add group information to response
/msg/send allows sending translated messages in multiple languages

Enhanced Java REST Client

new Method RestClient.authenticate() allows to authenticate session credentials (sid and secret)

The import has been fixed to not fail when an export bundle of a newer version of the Gentics CMS is imported, that contains new references that are marked as optional.

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.

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-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-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

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-2018

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

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-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-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-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 5.21.5

Documentation SUP-1915

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

Bugfix SUP-1749

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-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-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-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-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-1894

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

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-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-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-1761

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

Bugfix SUP-1784

Gentics Content.Node 5.21.1

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-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-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-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-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-1576

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

Gentics Content.Node 5.20.51

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-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.

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-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-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-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-1361

When editing links with Aloha Editor and entering data containing special URL characters (like ‘#‘) the resulting query sent to the server was incorrect.

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-601

The log entries for changing the inheritance of objects 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-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-1192

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

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-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.

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-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-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-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.

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

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

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

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-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-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-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.

Gentics Content.Node 5.19.22

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-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-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-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.

Documentation SUP-821

Added documentation for changing the page title of the CMS Backend

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.

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-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-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-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-560

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

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.

Gentics Content.Node 5.19.18

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-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-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-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-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.

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.

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-341

When closing a tagfill dialog in IE >= 9 no cursor was shown when clicking into another editable. This 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-710

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

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-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-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-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-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-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.

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-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

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

Gentics Content.Node 5.19.14

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-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-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-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-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-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.

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-515

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

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 SUP-602

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

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.

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-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-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-585

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

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-566

A possible NullPointerException during the import has been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-588

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

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-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-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-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.

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-70

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

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.

Gentics Content.Node 5.19.11

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.

Security SUP-323

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

Bugfix SUP-473

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

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.

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-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-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-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-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-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-370

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

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-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-323

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

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.

Gentics Content.Node 5.19.9

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.

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-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-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-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.

Gentics Content.Node 5.19.8

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.

Bugfix SUP-361-SUP-364

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

Bugfix SUP-307

Copying a tagmap entry between contentrepositories would fail unconditionally.

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-226

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

Gentics Content.Node 5.19.7

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.

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.

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-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.

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-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.

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-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.

Bugfix SUP-59

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

Bugfix SUP-164

Fixed possible NPE when checking data in contentrepositories

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 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.

Bugfix SUP-77

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

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-84

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

Bugfix SUP-77

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

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-88

Fixed possible NPE when saving pages containing empty overviews

Bugfix RT58761

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

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-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.

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 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 RT58713

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

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 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.

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.

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 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

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.

Enhancement RT58648

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

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 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.

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.

Bugfix SUP-1728

Fixed an internal server error (white page) when administrating users in the GCN user management.

Bugfix SUP-1707

When the feature always_localize was activated the dialogs for editing (object) properties of folders and pages sometimes would not open. This has been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-1648

Gentics Content.Node 5.18.48

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-1486

Gentics Content.Node 5.18.46

Bugfix SUP-1337

Fixed the approval of page publish requests not always working for pages in channels. The error message “Page not found” was displayed.

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

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.

Gentics Content.Node 5.18.18

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.

Bugfix SUP-361-SUP-364

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

Bugfix SUP-307

Copying a tagmap entry between contentrepositories would fail unconditionally.

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 RT58735

Gentics Content.Node 5.18.11

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 RT58713

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

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 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 RT58676

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

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. This has been fixed now, saving the page from the main menu will now work without the additional warning.

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.

Gentics Content.Node 5.18.9

Bugfix RT58709

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.

Bugfix RM14656

Login: When someone tried to log in with an empty password, GCN displayed an “Internal error“ message instead of “Bad credentials”.

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 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.

Bugfix RT58601

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

Gentics Content.Node 5.18.6

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.

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 “.”.

Security

SSL Security Advisory
The POODLE attack (PaddingOracleOnDowngradedLegacyEncryption) allows to steal “secure” HTTP cookies when SSL 3.0 is being used. We strongly recommend disabling SSL 3.0 support in your apache webserver configuration and if needed to update the openssl library once a fix for this issue has been released.

CVE-2014-3566

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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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.

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 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 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 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 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 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.

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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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.

Bugfix RT58503

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

Gentics Content.Node 5.18.2

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”.

Bugfix RT58484

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

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 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.

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 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

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 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.

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 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 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 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 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 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.

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

The Apache Tomcat version was updated to version 7.0.54.

Enhancement

The CSS in the toolbar has been enhanced.

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

Enhancement

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.

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.

Gentics Content.Node 5.17.32

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.

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 “.”.

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

Gentics Content.Node 5.17.14

Manual Change

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

Bugfix RT58263

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 RT58447

Bugfix RT58451

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.

Gentics Content.Node 5.17.13

The Aloha.Editor version number was finally bumped from 0.26.6 to 1.0.0.

This update will therefore use version 1.0.0 of Aloha.Editor. Version 1.0.0 does only contain the version update from 0.26.6 to 1.0.0 – No other changes were added to it.

Aloha.Editor Version 1.0.0 Changelog

Bugfix RM13889

Fixed that the “Quickjump” didn‘t work anymore on the start page of Gentics Content.Node.

Bugfix RT58422

When using a PostProcessor in a tagtype migration for a template, the template was not migrated although the job finished with success. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT58424

Translating pages in the backend or with the REST-API wouldn‘t work when group channel restrictions were in use.

Bugfix RT58448

When starting a Tagtype Migration process, a new background Thread is created, which is never removed. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT58434

When a published page was republished without any changes, a log entry like “Create Major Version (updated version 9.0 to 9.0)” was written which suggested that a new version should have been created. In fact, when republishing an already published page without any changes will not create a new version and such log entries are incorrect and will not be written any more.

Bugfix RT58256

Unnecessary output of WARN messages like “WARN TagPartType not filled, but is still rendered. (TagPartType is null, data inconsistency – invalid link to tag {tagClass:class com.gentics.contentnode.object.ContentTag} {tagId:0} {valueId:47110815})” in the publish log will be omitted now.

Bugfix RT58437

When uploading new files or changing files, the uniqueness check for the filename (with publish directory) was not done case insensitively. This could cause creation of files for which the publish path only differed in case. This subsequently could cause problems in the frontend. The uniqueness check has been fixed now to be case insensitive.

Bugfix RT58312

In rare cases, the application server for Gentics Content.Node would not start properly due to an unexpectedly terminated initialization job, which the startup routine failed to detect. This has been fixed now. If an initialization job terminates, an exception will be logged and the application server will start normally.

Bugfix RT58408

Loading images (path /folder/getFiles/{folderId}) or items (path /folder/getItems/{folderId}) using the Java REST API client failed with some deserialization errors. This has been fixed now. The result for the calls to /folder/getFiles/{folderId} and /folder/getItems/{folderId} will contain an additional property (@class) for each file or item, that specifies the Class to be used for deserialization in the Java REST API client.

Bugfix RT58388

The Time Management during a publish process will now be done earlier (before the initialization of the publish process) in it‘s own transaction. This fixes problems, where pages, that are published with “publish at” are possibly not published with the correct contents.

Bugfix RT58139

When uploading a new image/file and then directly clicking the file, editing it‘s object properties did not work (produced an SGB). This has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT58436-RT58436

Fixed and unified page filename handling for creation and translation, which incorrectly replaced some valid characters.

Gentics Content.Node 5.17.12

Bugfix

A PHP error within the autoupdate changelog mechanism was fixed. Previously this error could cause the changelog mechanism to abort the update process.

Bugfix RT58441

The background job for synchronizing published versions of page variants sometimes causes an Exception on tomcat startup. This has been fixed.

Gentics Content.Node 5.17.11

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 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 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.

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 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.

Gentics Content.Node 5.17.10

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.

Bugfix RT58383

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

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 RT58365

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

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 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.

Gentics Content.Node 5.17.7

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.

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 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 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 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.

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 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 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.

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 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 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 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:”.

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 RT58271

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

Bugfix RT58296

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

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 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 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 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 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.

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 RT58246

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

Bugfix RT58264

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

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 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 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 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.

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.

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 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 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 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 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 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.

Bugfix RT58179

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

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).

Gentics Content.Node 5.17.0

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

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.

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

Various changes to the internal Gentics Content.Node project structure have been made. These changes might affect existing build setups that make use of the provided maven artifacts.

The restapi-lib maven module was removed. Please use the drop in replacement contentnode-restapi module instead.
Various deprecated internal non-api classes were removed. (e.g: GenticsContentModule2)
Various classes for Gentics Content.Node and Gentics Portal.Node were moved from node-lib to either contentnode-lib and portalnode-lib.
Various third party libraries were removed from shared libraries.
The ModelBuilderApiHelper class was moved from contentnode-api to contentnode-lib.
The java source code will now be compiled for JDK 1.7. Gentics Content.Node 5 will no longer work with JDK 1.6 and older JDKs.
Please note that the JDK 1.7 runtime is required since the hotfix versions 5.14.22 and 5.15.9
The following shared libraries have been updated:
commons-codec 1.3 to 1.8
commons-io 1.4 to 2.4
commons-lang 2.4 to 2.6
commons-logging 1.1 to 1.1.3
jersey-multipart 1.3 has been updated to a JDK 6 version
image4j 0.7 has been updated to a JDK 6 version

The following libraries have been added:

httpclient 4.3.1
httpcore 4.3

The following shared libraries have been removed:

commons-discovery 0.2
PDFBox 0.7.2
oro 2.0.8
kaptcha 2.3

args4j 2.0.12
guava 10.0.1
jarjar 1.1
js 1.7R2
jsr305–1.3.9

Optional Manual Change

The feature “disableIE7StandardsMode” is now officially supported.

If you have websites that rely on having the latest Internet Explorer document mode, you might want consider setting it to true.
$FEATURE[“disableIE7StandardsMode”] = true;
Read the feature documentation for more information.
Please note that Internet Explorer 10 has known rendering issues (white pages) with frames and should therefore not be used.

Feature KB1391

New Rest API method to get External links inside a folder.
The new REST API Method getExternalLinks will return all external links found in pages inside a given folder. The FolderResource documentation contains more information on this topic.

Feature KB1481

The publish_folder_startpage feature was added. With this feature it is possible to automatically publish the startpage of the parentfolder of a page that is published during a instant publishing run. Feature Overview

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.

Enhancement

The new feature publish_inherited_source allows reusing the published source of the master page when publishing an inherited page into a channel. This might improve the publish performance, if checking for localization of the page‘s dependencies is faster than actually rendering the page.

Enhancement

Several performance optimizations for the publish process have been done:

Rendering performance for objects from channels has been improved
Some frequently used data will now be prepared and kept in memory during the publish process.
This slightly increases the memory consumption, but reduces the number of necessary database queries during the publish process
When publishing into a multichannelling aware Content Repository, the setting $MULTITHREADED_PUBLISHING["batchsize"] can be used to increase performance of writing into the Content Repository.
Publishing of files/images and folders into a Content Repository has been improved by preparing the data for groups of objects, which reduces the number of necessary sql statements.
Handling of very large publish tables has been improved. The statements have been optimized for performance and the new feature omit_publish_table allows reducing the size.
When the feature resumable_publish_process is used, every object that is successfully published needs to be removed from the publish_queue. The delete statements will now be batched together to increase performance.
The new setting $CONTENTREPOSITORY_FETCHSIZE allows to configure a higher fetchsize to be used by the JDBC connector for the Content Repository. This will increase the performance for reading data from the Content Repository during the publish process.

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 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 RT57729

Gentics Content.Node 5.16.11

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 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 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 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.

Bugfix RT57825

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

Bugfix RT58132

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.

Gentics Content.Node 5.16.10

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.

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.

An error was log when loading an inexistent php file (‘get_folder_tree.func.php‘). This error has been fixed.

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

Gentics Content.Node 5.16.6

Enhancement RT58071

Improved the documentation for the Navigation Part Type

Bugfix RT578055

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

Bugfix RT57999

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

Bugfix 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 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.

Bugfix RT58067

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

Gentics Content.Node 5.16.5

Bugfix RT58031

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

Bugfix RT57902

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

Bugfix RT58007

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

Bugfix RT58034

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

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 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 RT57893

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

Bugfix 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 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 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.

Gentics Content.Node 5.16.3

Bugfix RT57922

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

ContentRepository: Edit
Nodes: Create new node
Node: Display

Now the following permissions are checked:

ContentRepository: Edit
Node: Edit

Bugfix RT57977

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

Gentics Content.Node 5.16.2

Bugfix

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

Bugfix RT54176

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

Bugfix 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 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 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.

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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 RT57940

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

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 RT57950

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

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 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 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 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

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

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.

Optional Manual Change

Multichannelling ContentRepository changes

Optimized attributes of multichannelling aware content repositories are not stored in the table contentattribute any more. Since the data for optimized attributes is stored in quick columns of the table contentmap, the additionaly storage in the table contentattribute was redundant an unnecessary. Reducing the number of entries in the table contentattribute will reduce the memory consumption of the database and will improve the overall performance.
When publishing into multichannelling aware content repositories, it is important to use the recent version of Gentics Portal.Node (>= 4.5.0) or the Gentics Content.Connector for reading from this content repository, so that optimized attributes will be read correctly.

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

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

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 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 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 RT57663

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

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

Bugfix 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.

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.

Gentics Content.Node 5.15.11

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 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.

Gentics Content.Node 5.15.10

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 RT57769

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

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 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 RT57750

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

Bugfix 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 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 RT57602

$cms.rendermode.frontend will now be set to true when rendering a page using the preview() method. This makes the flag consistent with the fact that links are rendered in frontend mode in previews.

Bugfix RT57500

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

Bugfix RT57688

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

Enhancement RT57609

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

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 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 RT56361

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

Bugfix RT57697

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

Bugfix RT57565

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

Bugfix RT57635

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

Bugfix RT57708

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

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 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.

Gentics Content.Node 5.15.7

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.

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.

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 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.

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 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 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 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 RT57588

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

Gentics Content.Node 5.15.5

Bugfix RT57624

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

Bugfix 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 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 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 RT56622

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

Gentics Content.Node 5.15.4

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 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 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 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 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 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 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 RT57556

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

Bugfix RT56031

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

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 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 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 RT57368

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

Bugfix RT57259

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

Bugfix

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

Bugfix

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

Bugfix RT57435

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

Bugfix RT57460

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

Gentics Content.Node 5.15.1

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

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 RT56173

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

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 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 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.

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 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.

Gentics Content.Node 5.14.46

Internal datasources will no longer be shown in the import overview or detail list.

Bugfix RT58278

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

Bugfix RT57259

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

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.

Gentics Content.Node 5.14.13

Bugfix RT56838

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

Bugfix RT57013

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

Bugfix RT57248

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

Bugfix RT57285

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

Bugfix RT57317

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

Bugfix RT57194

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

Bugfix

Fixed some Javascript Errors when loading page object properties.

Bugfix RT56799

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

Bugfix

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

Bugfix RT57198

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

Bugfix RT55796

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

Gentics Content.Node 5.14.12

Bugfix RT57208

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

Bugfix RT57133

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

Bugfix RT57156

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

Bugfix RM12471

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

Bugfix RT57211

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

Bugfix RT55801

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 RT55801

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

Bugfix RT56774

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

Bugfix 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.

Bugfix RT50796

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

Bugfix RT57252

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

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 RT57097

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

Bugfix

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

Bugfix 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 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 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 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 RT56013

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

Bugfix RT56775

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

Gentics Content.Node 5.14.10

Bugfix RT57120

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

Bugfix RT57123

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

Gentics Content.Node 5.14.9

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

Bugfix RT57077

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

Bugfix RT57063

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

Bugfix RT57034

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

Gentics Content.Node 5.14.8

Enhancement RT57018

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

Bugfix 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 RT56516

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

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 RT56783

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

Gentics Content.Node 5.14.7

Bugfix RT56980

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

Bugfix 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 RT56960

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

Gentics Content.Node 5.14.6

Manual Change

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

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

Bugfix RT56249

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

Bugfix RT56623

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

Bugfix RT56667

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

Bugfix RT56765

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 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.

Gentics Content.Node 5.14.5

Enhancement RT56682

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

Enhancement RT56697

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

Enhancement RT56697

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

Bugfix RT54963

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

Bugfix RT56683

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

Bugfix RT56615

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

Bugfix RT56403

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

Bugfix

Possible missing publish log error messages have been fixed.

Bugfix 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 RT56765

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

Bugfix RT56251

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

Gentics Content.Node 5.14.4

Security RT54513

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

   ServerSignature Off   ServerTokens Prod

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

Enhancement RT56615

The internal logging of a publish error has been enhanced.

Enhancement RT56609

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

Bugfix

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

Bugfix RM11868

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

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 RT56518

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

Bugfix RT56251

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

Bugfix RT56642

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

Bugfix RT56477

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

Bugfix RT56245

Fixed selection of translators in the todo tool.

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 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 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.

Gentics Content.Node 5.14.3

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 RT55753

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

Bugfix RT55802

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

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 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 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 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 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 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.

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

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 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 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 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 RT56020-RT56407

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

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 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 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 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 RT56500

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

Bugfix RT56517

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

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 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 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 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 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 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 RT55401

A scheduler task‘s editor is now updated correctly.

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.

Gentics Content.Node 5.14.0

Manual Change

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

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

Manual Change

Java 7 Update

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

Optional Manual Change

MySQL 5.5 / 5.6 Update

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

Feature RM5949

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

Feature RM7461

When selecting an item with the link browser, the link element‘s title attribute will be automatically set based on Aloha Editor Link Plugin‘s new titleregex/title configuration options.

Enhancement RT54655

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

Enhancement RT55183

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

Enhancement RT56224

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

Enhancement 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 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 RT54655

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

Enhancement RT53174

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

Enhancement RT55296

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

Enhancement RT55744

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

Bugfix RM7588

An error within the tagtype list was fixed. Previously it was not possible to reassign a tagtype category to a tagtype using the tagtype list context menu. This issue has now been resvoled.

Gentics Content.Node 5.13.25

Bugfix RT56838

Bugfix RT57285

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

Bugfix RT57317

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

Bugfix RT57194

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

Bugfix

Fixed some Javascript Errors when loading page object properties.

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

Gentics Content.Node 5.13.20

Enhancement RT57018

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 RT56783

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

Gentics Content.Node 5.13.19

Bugfix RT56980

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

Bugfix 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

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

Bugfix RT56667

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

Bugfix RT56765

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 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.

Gentics Content.Node 5.13.17

Enhancement RT56682

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

Enhancement RT56697

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

Enhancement RT56697

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

Bugfix RT54963

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

Bugfix RM11868

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

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 RT56518

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

Bugfix RT56251

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

Bugfix RT56642

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

Bugfix RT56477

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

Bugfix RT56245

Fixed selection of translators in the todo tool.

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

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 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 RT56328

Bugfix RT56020-RT56407

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

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 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 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.

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 RT54176

Bugfix RT55401

A scheduler task‘s editor is now updated correctly.

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 RT56261

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

Enhancement RT56054

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

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 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 RT56138

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

Bugfix RT56174

Fixed the assignment of constructs to nodes during the import.

Bugfix 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 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 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

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 RT55676

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

Bugfix 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 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 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 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 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 RT50562

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

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.

Gentics Content.Node 5.13.9

Enhancement RT55980

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

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 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 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 RT56028

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

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 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 RT55898

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

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 RT56021

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

Bugfix RT55793

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

Bugfix RT55856

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

Bugfix RT55941

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

Bugfix RT55962

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

Bugfix 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)

Gentics Content.Node 5.13.7

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 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 RT55854

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

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 RT55393

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

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.

It was possible that the migration job for the dirted objects, which should run only once after the update from an older GCN version was triggered more than once. This has been fixed now.

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 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 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 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 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 RT52250

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

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 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 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.

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 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 RT55680

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

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 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 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 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.

Gentics Content.Node 5.13.4

Manual Change

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

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

Bugfix RT54941

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

Bugfix RT54461

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

Bugfix RT55313

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

Bugfix 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 RT55242

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

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 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.

Bugfix RT55158

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

Bugfix RT55346

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

Bugfix RT55312

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

Bugfix RT55346

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

Gentics Content.Node 5.13.2

Bugfix RT55211

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

Bugfix RT55299

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

Bugfix RT55127

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

Bugfix RT55134

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

Bugfix RT53746

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

Bugfix RT55260

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

Bugfix RT55065

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

Bugfix 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 RT54731

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

Bugfix RT53937

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

Gentics Content.Node 5.13.1

Enhancement

Added guide about migrating from Live Editor to Aloha Editor

Bugfix RT54078

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

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 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.

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 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 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 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 RT54493

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

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 RM9990

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

Bugfix RT54509

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

Gentics Content.Node 5.13.0

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!

Optional Manual Change

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

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

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 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 RM8177

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

Enhancement RM6440

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

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

Enhancement

The minified version of the Gentics Content.Node Javascript API will now be used within Gentics Content.Node. Previously only a concatenated version was used.

Enhancement

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

Enhancement

Improved documentation by adding a list of discontinued features.

Bugfix

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

Gentics Content.Node 5.12.28

Bugfix RT55962

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

Bugfix RT55959

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

Bugfix RT54941

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

Bugfix RT54461

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

Bugfix RT55313

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

Bugfix RT55324

Bugfix RT55239

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 RT55394

Bugfix RT55496

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

Bugfix RT55143

Bugfix RT55158

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

Bugfix RT55346

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

Bugfix RT55312

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

Gentics Content.Node 5.12.15

Bugfix RT55211

Bugfix RT55299

Bugfix RT55127

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

Bugfix RT55134

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 RT53854

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

Bugfix 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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).

Gentics Content.Node 5.12.11

Bugfix RT52737

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

Bugfix RT53076

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

Bugfix 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

Several issues in the export selection dialog have been fixed:

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

Bugfix 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.

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 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 RT54653

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

Bugfix RT54628

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

Bugfix RT54526

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

Bugfix RT54671

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

Bugfix RT54671

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

Bugfix RT54591

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

Bugfix RT54220

File upload: Fixed the 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 RT54684

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

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 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 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 RT54424

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

Bugfix RT54696

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

Bugfix RT54723

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

Gentics Content.Node 5.12.9

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 RT54580

Export: Added back missing images to the left assistent sidebar

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 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 RT54493

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

Bugfix RT54540

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

Bugfix 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.

Gentics Content.Node 5.12.8

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 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 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 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 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 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

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 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 RT54240

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

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 RT54332

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

Bugfix RT54304

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

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 RT53383

Fixed an incorrect title in the todo tool.

Gentics Content.Node 5.12.6

Bugfix RT54334

Fixed possible data inconsistencies with scheduler tasks.

Groups of translators in the todo-tool are now sorted alphabetically to match the view in the administration tree.

Gentics Content.Node 5.12.4

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 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

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 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 RT54130

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

Bugfix RT54117

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

Bugfix 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).

Gentics Content.Node 5.12.2

Bugfix

This fix solves a temporary issue in the image-manipulation-plugin, which made it impossible to save changes to the image.

Bugfix RT53921

Uploading images via the multifileupload now works even if the image does not contain JFIF-information. In this case, default values for DPI are assumed.

Bugfix RT54003

Removed unnecessary attributes “text“, “cls“, “iconCls“ and “leaf“ from the Template model class. Before this fix, loading templates with the Java REST API client failed with: org.codehaus.jackson.map.exc.UnrecognizedPropertyException: Unrecognized field “text” (Class com.gentics.contentnode.rest.model.Template), not marked as ignorable.

Bugfix RT53839

A caching-issue was fixed that prevented custom sort orders for overview-tags to be updated correctly.

Bugfix RT53935

GCN JS API: Fixed the tag.part() (prop) function overwriting the part value with ‘undefined‘ and returning ‘undefined‘. It now correctly returns the value again when not passing a value to set as second argument.

Bugfix RT54011

Lists: Fixed a bug where the list filtering did not work anymore, introduced with GCN 5.12.0. This problem occured among others in the object property list, the scheduler, datasources and import/export.

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 RT53943

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

Gentics Content.Node 5.12.1

Bugfix RT52133

The documentation for the Custom Form Part Type was corrected. The correct name for the variable that is used to retrieve the html entity of a form is nodevalue.

Bugfix

Fixed a SQL statement of the update process, which possibly failed.

Bugfix RM6321

A warning notification will now be displayed next to the href field of the Aloha Link plugin when it is detected that the href value may unintentionally result in an potentially invalid internal link.

Bugfix RT53460

Fixed a problem with tags being sometimes duplicated when viewing template sourcecode.

Bugfix RT53850

Added further log output when an error is encountered when rending tags, specifically for the case when an endtag has no corresponding opening tag, the name of the tag in question will now also be logged.

Gentics Content.Node 5.12.0

Please note that this release contains strict database checks. The update may fail when existing database inconsistencies are detected.

Manual Change

The Gentics Update site was changed with this update in order to provide the new Feature Releases.

The new update site is https://updates.gentics.com. Please whitelist this domain and the port 443 on your server. The previous update site was https://secure.gentics.com. Please refer to the Autoupdate Guides Page for more information on how to provide the update file manually.

Enhancement RM6727

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

Enhancement 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 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 RM6214

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

Enhancement

A possible SQL Error was fixed within the publish process.

Enhancement

A possible bottleneck in the internal communication between PHP and Java was removed.

Enhancement RT53014

Added ‘pageStatus‘ attribute to page objects requested via the REST API.

Enhancement

The Gentics Content.Node Autoupdate was updated. It is now possible to update to any newer released version. The testing update site was depreciated. Only releases will be shown within the drop down menu.

Enhancement

The Gentics Content.Node Autoupdate Scheduler Task was deprecated.

Enhancement RT53254

Tags that contain script tags will now have their scripts tags properly rendered onto the page when closing the TagFill dialog. Furthermore, the scripts will only be executed after the rest of the contents of the tag have been rendered and are present on the page, and not before.

Bugfix RT52692

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

Bugfix RT47489

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

Bugfix RT52849

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

Bugfix RT53018

Fixed a possible NullPointerException when using Multithreaded Publishing into ContentRepositories.

Bugfix RT53199

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

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 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 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.

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 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 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 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 RT53506

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

Bugfix RT53758

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

Bugfix 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 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 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 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 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

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 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.

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 RT52346

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

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.

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 RT53018

Fixed a possible NullPointerException when using Multithreaded Publishing into ContentRepositories.

Bugfix

Fixed initialization of Aloha Editor for frontend editing

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

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

Enhancement RT52864

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

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.

Bugfix RT52751

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

Bugfix RT52573

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

Bugfix 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 RT52876

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

Bugfix RT52987

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

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 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 RT51911

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

Bugfix RT52776

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

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 RT50625

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

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

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 RT52516

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

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 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 RT52746

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

Bugfix RT52368

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

Bugfix 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 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.

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 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 RM5826 RT52022

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

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 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.

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 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.

Bugfix RT52396

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

Bugfix RT52297

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

Bugfix 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 RT52416

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

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 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 RT52413

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

Bugfix RT51642

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

Bugfix RM5993

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

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 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

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 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 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 RT52191

Bugfix

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

Gentics Content.Node 5.9.3

Bugfix RM5650

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

Gentics Content.Node 5.9.2

The page list will now skip pages that have a detectable data inconsistency. Previously all pages for a folder would not show when at least one data inconsistency was detected. This also affects the getPages rest method.

Gentics Content.Node 5.9.0

Enhancement

The REST API call FolderResource.getFolders() has new options to get folders as trees and to do the recursion only for specified folders.

Enhancement

The REST API has a new resource to fetch node information (from /CNPortletapp/rest/node/...). See the REST API Documentation for details.

Enhancement RT52125

Corrected the standard error message displayed to users when page loading is halted.

Enhancement

Pages returned from the REST API will now also contain the languageName, if they have a language set.

Enhancement RM2372

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

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

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

Bugfix RT51863

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

and

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

Bugfix RT51486

solved issue #51486, where closing a TagFill in IE7 for a block which is notrendered inside an editable would result in the user no longer being able tomake any selections on the page.

Bugfix

The repository browser and minibrowser will now use localized translations for various messges and texts.

Bugfix

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

Bugfix RT51641

Copied link tags will no longer be blockified.

Bugfix RT51638

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

Bugfix RT51674

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

Bugfix RT51959

Fixed reading permissions for users. The database is now forced to use specific indices, because it sometimes decides against them (and doing a full table scan on the perm table instead),which drastically decreases the request performance.

Bugfix RT52044

Added the feature advanced_parallel, which makes sure that a scheduler task is not started as long as any of its following tasks is stillrunning, even if they are set to run parallel. The feature is turned on by default.

Bugfix RT51674

Manual Change

Aloha Editor 0.20.x was removed from GCN

Rather than:

 My tag content

Bugfix

Fixes the GCN mini browser to correctly fetch tags when clicking on asearch result in the browser list pane.The fix involves resetting the search parameters before proceeding toquery the GCN repository for resources so that tags are not filteragainst the last search criteria.Fixed getting a sorted and paged list of folders via the REST API. Before this fix, the sorting was not correct.

Bugfix

Fixed a JavaScript error that occurred when closing tag field dialog after a tag was inserted into another tag.

Bugfix

Paging through templates in the repository browser was previously not possiblebecause the REST API method “/getTemplates” did not handle the `maxItems‘ and`skipCount‘ query parameters. With these now implemented, paging works.

Gentics Content.Node 5.7.1

Bugfix

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

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

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

Bugfix

Missing i18n entries were added.

Fixed a problem where jQuery would not be properly declared when working withthe GCN JS API in NodeJS environment.

Gentics Content.Node 5.6.3

Bugfix

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

Gentics Content.Node 5.6.2

Manual Change

Tagtypes implementation and Aloha Editor block-plugin

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

Manual Change

Disabled Aloha Editor block-plugin drag and drop feature

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

Manual Change

Possible Root elements of tagtypes changed.

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

Manual Change

Aloha Editor 0.9.3 was removed

The legacy version of aloha editor was removed.

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 links to load Aloha Editor files for editing pages will now contain the current build timestamp (and not the path /latest/ any more). This avoids unnecessary redirects (additional browser requests), if the correct paths to Aloha Editor files are known anyway.The path containing /latest/ will still work (and redirect to the path containing the current build timestamp) for applications that need to load Aloha Editor files without knowledge of the current build timestamp.

Gentics Content.Node 5.5.6

Enhancement

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

Bugfix

The 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.

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.

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 5.4.15

Manual Change

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

Enhancement

The page copy action performance was enhanced.

Enhancement

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

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

See: Validation

Bugfix

Fixed setting of filetype when uploading Files via the REST API. If the filetype is sent from the client, there is no auto-detection done on server side.

Bugfix

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

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

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

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

Fixed filling of tags with the new Minibrowser in the tagfill dialog when multichannelling is used: When an item is selected in the Minibrowser, the form will be posted and the tagfill dialog re-rendered.This is necessary for custom form tag implementations that need to be re-rendered whenever some other parts change.

Bugfix

When using firefox 10: The construct properties view will require Firefox 10.0.0.2 or later to display correctly. Older Firefox version (>10) contain a bug that prevents correct display of that particular view.

Security

Bugfix

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 5.3.1

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.
