Gentics Content.Node Changelog Summary

Gentics Content.Node 5.31.26


Bugfix SUP-7425

When synchronizing datasources from a devtool package with an entry having dsid 0, the dsid was changed to another value (most probably 1), even if this dsid was used by another entry. This resulted in the CMS not showing the entry, which originally had dsid 0 in the UI. The incorrect synchronization has been fixed. Incorrect values in the database either need to be fixed manually, or by another synchronization of the devtool package from the filesystem.


Bugfix SUP-7040

Fixed errors in devtools packages with php 7.


Bugfix SUP-7569

When the feature enable_image_upload_in_tagfill was not explicitly set to true in the configuration, the upload buttons were correctly shown in the old UI, but were not shown in the new UI, because the REST API Endpoint /admin/features/[name] claimed to feature to be deactivated. This has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-7599

When publishing a node and channels into a Mesh Content.Repository, and the node or a channel had publishing of pages into the Mesh Content.Repository disabled, the pages were still written into the Content.Repository, but then removed. This has been fixed now, pages from nodes will only be written into the Mesh Content.Repository, if necessary.


Gentics Content.Node 5.31.25


Documentation SUP-7562

Further explain usage of Gentics CMS Devtools with tagtype categories. See the Devtools overview in our guides.


Bugfix SUP-7554

Rendering the preview of a page with a Mesh Portal Preview URL failed with a NullPointerException, if the tagmap contained at least one entry of type “Node”. This has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-7514

In some cases, the CMS Server would create many short lived connections to the backend database in very short time. This is inefficient and may lead to resource problems. This has been changed now, so that database connections will be taken from the connection pool instead.


Bugfix SUP-7541

Fixed problems with the scripts injected into the ContentFrame and made the injection more robust.


Gentics Content.Node 5.31.24


Bugfix SUP-7385

Made the cms docker image more bullet proof

  • Fixed that the Apache and the Tomcat sometimes didn‘t start when the Docker container was restarted
  • Fix the scheduler not working sometimes after a restart of the Docker container, when the PID is being used by a different process
  • The CMS image waits now for the MySQL being available (timeout can be set with NODE_DB_CONNECT_TIMEOUT now)
  • Moved the Docker configuration documentation from Docker hub to the CMS guides
  • Added a health check to detect broken containers

Gentics Content.Node 5.31.23


Documentation SUP-7301

Added Oracle Database 12.2 to the list of supported versions.


Bugfix SUP-7417

When using multichannelling, overviews over objects in other nodes were not always dirted, when new objects were created. This has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-7483

When performing multiple requests to create folders with same name in the same mother folder in parallel, the naming uniqueness could not be guaranteed. This has been fixed now, multiple requests to create folders in the same mother folder will now be serialized.


Bugfix SUP-7330

When editing a tag in the new UI (but not with the new Tag Editor), the check for not filled mandatory multiselect parts did not work. Editors could save the tag with mandatory multiselect parts left empty. This has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-7437

Add confirmation notification when uploading a new image via properties.


Bugfix SUP-7455

When changing the assignment between a Node and a ContentRepository, this could cause all objects in the Node to be dirted. This has been fixed now, changing the assignment between a Node and a ContentRepository will dirt no objects any more.


Bugfix SUP-7495

When publishing large number of objects into a Mesh ContentRepository, checking for obsolete objects (during every publish run) could take a very long time. The performance of this check has been improved by increasing the pagesize for loading the objects from Mesh. The pagesize can now be configured (see Guides for details).


Gentics Content.Node 5.31.22


Bugfix SUP-6971

Fixes an issue with unexpected “Invalid SID” error messages on login.


Bugfix SUP-7324

When publishing into a Mesh ContentRepository, obsolete objects will now be removed before other objects are created/updated. This fixes uniqueness issues, when e.g. a page is deleted and replaced with another page having the same filename.


Bugfix SUP-7342

The internal links rendered in a live preview did not contain the correct SID when using a Mesh portal preview URL. This has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-7397

Fixes an issue when the page is editable, but the save button is not active immediately.


Bugfix SUP-7331

Fixes an issue when a modal is open and navigating away is still possible.


Bugfix SUP-7355

A NullpointerException occured when using the GIS Directive option “fpsmart” without a valid source image. This has been fixed.


Gentics Content.Node 5.31.21


Bugfix SUP-7241

Fix incorrect behavior of the ‘publish‘ action for pages with a ‘publish at‘ date. The user can now choose whether to publish the page immediately or to leave the set ‘publish at‘ date.


Bugfix SUP-7283

Removed the discontinued webdav feature.


Bugfix SUP-7325

The number of parallel image resize operations performed by the CMS Server has been limited to 10 in order to avoid memory exhaustion.
See the guides for details on configuration of the GenticsImageStore.


Gentics Content.Node 5.31.20


Bugfix SUP-7275

The page menu entry “Delete old versions” has been removed. Old page versions can be purged with the purgeversions scheduler task.


Bugfix SUP-7188

Resolves an issue that prevented opening new translations in the translations editor.


Bugfix SUP-7136

Fixes the letter case on advanced search filter labels.


Bugfix SUP-7260

Fixed an Angular “Expression changed after it was checked” error.


Bugfix SUP-7057

Error handling for database problems during publish runs has been improved.


Gentics Content.Node 5.31.19


Documentation SUP-7180

Enhanced the “Indexing with Elasticsearch” documentation page.


Bugfix SUP-7184

Fixes an issue that prevented users to publish a page in edit mode.


Bugfix SUP-6814

When several parts of a tagtype had the same keyword and the tagtype was synchronized into the filesystem by the devtools feature, the created files for those tagparts were overwritten. The behavior has been changed so that such tagtypes will not be synchronized into the filesystem, and the synchronization process will fail.


Bugfix SUP-7248

  • Remove the restriction to fill out both FROM and TO input fields for “showing pages online” feature.

Bugfix SUP-7192

  • Resolves an issue for images when dimensions cannot be detected correctly.
  • Removes editing capabilities on images that cannot be edited or when editing may cause data loss for that image.

Bugfix

The REST API has been extended to allow loading node specific settings via the endpoint /rest/node/[NODEID]/settings. For configuration options and how to retrieve the settings via the REST API look the the documentation


Bugfix SUP-7112

Timemanagement for modified pages was not performed correctly. This has been fixed, and pages with timemanagement will now be published and taken offline accordingly.


Bugfix SUP-7125

Resolves an issue when folders/images/files/pages are non-existing anymore but the associated favourites are still in the list.


Bugfix SUP-7026

Fix ItemList layout problems on mobile devices with long item names.


Gentics Content.Node 5.31.18


Bugfix SUP-7033

During a publish process, unnecessary EmptyStackExceptions were logged, which are suppressed now.


Bugfix SUP-7031

Creating a new node with “publish directory segments” enabled failed with an error. This has been fixed now


Bugfix SUP-6107

Fix bug with pagination for images.


Bugfix SUP-7020

When using the basic search bar to filter the items of the current folder, in most cases only the first page of items got filtered. This has been fixed.


Bugfix SUP-7046

Fixed an Angular expression changed after it was checked error.


Bugfix SUP-7025

Fix problems with IFrames that are nested inside the content frame‘s master IFrame and which are incompatible with the injected GCMS UI scripts and/or styles, by allowing such IFrames to skip GCMS UI scripts and styles injection.


Bugfix SUP-7040

Fixed an error when viewing devtools packages.


Bugfix SUP-7066

When using multithreaded publishing in a clustered GCMS environment, the GCMS start page would not load when requested from a cluster node, which was not the current master while the publish process was running. The error log would show an error like “java.io.NotSerializableException: com.gentics.contentnode.publish.PublishThreadInfo”. This has been fixed now.


Gentics Content.Node 5.31.17


Bugfix SUP-6907

When executing a search, the context menu of some items may have been incomplete in some cases and when opening an image for editing from search results, the “Save” button may have been missing. These issues have been fixed.


Bugfix SUP-6902

Add missing Live URL links for images and files.


Bugfix SUP-6959

Allow disabling the “New Image“ button in the Tagfill dialog for “URL (image)” tag parts.


Gentics Content.Node 5.31.16


Bugfix SUP-6901

Resolves an issue that prevented users to login in certain cases.


Bugfix SUP-6899

When editing a tag you could leave text parts from the type text, text/html and html empty, even if they were required. This has been fixed.


Bugfix SUP-6363

UI: Fix german text for page revision message


Bugfix SUP-6667

In some cases the tageditor with the formgenerator can have overlapping dialog buttons. This is now fixed.


Gentics Content.Node 5.31.15


On new installations of Gentics CMS the Feature Resumable Publish Process will be activated by default. This will not change the setting of this feature in existing installations.


Bugfix SUP-6869

When synchronizing objects between channels using the old UI, the optional intermediate dialog showing dependencies that also need to be synchronized will now only show tabs containing actual data. That means e.g. that the tab “Pages” will only be shown, if dependent pages need to be synchronized.


Bugfix SUP-6847

Fixed the positioning of the page status labels in the repository browser.


Bugfix SUP-6853

When rendering a page preview by posting data to the configured Mesh Preview URL the behaviour has been changed so that embedded tags that have to be partly rendered in the frontend will now work exactly like for the published page. Only when rendering a page in edit mode, the behaviour will still be different, which means that tagtype implementations need to take care of that (render different in edit mode).


Bugfix SUP-6881

The docker container running the GCMS image sometimes failed to start apache2 process due to prior unclean shutdown. This has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-6793

Some issues when publishing into Mesh ContentRepositories have been fixed:

  • Pages, Folders, Images or Files having global IDs in the “old style“ (generated with a sequence number, like “ABCD.12345“)
    were published to Mesh Objects with UUIDs that were not necessarily unique. The transformation of those global IDs into Mesh UUIDs has been changed, which means, that affected objects need to be removed from the Mesh CR manually and republished. The ContentRepository action “Check data” will detect such Mesh nodes.
  • When publishing multiple channels into a Mesh ContentRepository, the publish process could fail with various errors.

Bugfix SUP-6772

Fixes an issue that could prevent unlocking of the page when closing the editor.


Bugfix SUP-6757

Fixes an issue that caused dialogs to have full height in Internet Explorer.


Gentics Content.Node 5.31.14


Bugfix SUP-5709

Import/Export: Fixed an NPE when importing folders which were moved and deleted (but still in the wastebin) on the target system.


Bugfix SUP-6334

Fixed the Icon for localized Images in the new UI


Bugfix SUP-6827

If devtools is activated and the user has no view permissions for the devtools packages the wrong link for live preview was generated in preview- and edit-mode of a page, resulting in error 500 messages. This has been fixed now: for users without devtools permission the regular preview url will be generated, for users with devtools permissions the devtools preview url will be used.


Bugfix SUP-6172

Fixed the translation of Calendars when the language is changed.


Gentics Content.Node 5.31.13


Bugfix SUP-6815

Include ‘description‘ field in and remove ‘content‘ field from the default advanced search in the new UI.


Bugfix SUP-6531

With small browser window sizes the button to open the custom tools list would sometimes move above or below the search bar. This has been fixed.


Bugfix SUP-6820

Fixes an issue that prevented some users from saving Image Object Properties.


Gentics Content.Node 5.31.12


Documentation SUP-6799

Added Apache access configuration example to the Devtools configuration guide.


Bugfix SUP-6784

The objectproperties icons were missing in the tree. This has been fixed.


Bugfix SUP-6778

When Aloha Editor takes more time to load, the toolbar styles were not displayed correctly sometimes. This has been fixed.


Bugfix SUP-6792

It is now possible to connect to a Mesh ContentRepository Instance via SSL. See Guides for configuration details.


Bugfix SUP-6805

When an object property was edited from the Aloha Editor sidebar in the new UI, no buttons were shown. This has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-6739

When selecting an item from the favourites in the repository browser an exception was thrown. This has been fixed.


Bugfix SUP-6748

When adding a datasource to a devtool package, the internal IDs of the datasource values (which are used to reference the datasource values in tags) were not included in the data. This could lead to different internal IDs of the same datasource values on different CMS systems and inconsistencies when transferring tags referencing the datasource values. This has been fixed now. To synchronize the internal IDs between systems, the datasources have to be transferred between the systems again (using either a devtool package or import/export).


Gentics Content.Node 5.31.11


Bugfix SUP-6762

On slow machines and/or slow connections a race condition in the new UI could render the UI unusable. This has been fixed.


Bugfix SUP-6735

When using Keycloak SSO for authentication with the new UI and if the authentication information is not cached in the UI, then opening a link to the new UI, which does not point to the root or to the login page (e.g, a link that points to a certain folder), would have caused the login page to be shown below the search bar instead of loading the linked address. A page refresh would have be required to go to the linked address. This has been fixed.


Bugfix SUP-6694

Sometimes the buttons “OK“ and “Cancel” were missing in the tagfill dialog, when using the new UI. This has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-6749

The ‘Save‘ button is now always enabled when editing pages, properties, and object properties, except if the respective object is locked by another user. This resolves several issues where the ‘Save‘ button was not being enabled after a change.


Gentics Content.Node 5.31.10


Bugfix SUP-6539

When a new node with the flag for publish directory segments enabled was imported, the publish directory segment of the root folder possibly contained slashes. This has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-6640

The publish process failed with an error like “Duplicate field name for field … detected. The name for a field must be unique.” if the Mesh ContentRepository contained identical entries coming from different CR Fragments. This has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-6235

When loading a template over the REST API with a given nodeId, the list of objecttags in the template will now be restricted to the objecttags, which are either globally available or assigned to the node.


Bugfix SUP-6337

Copying of tagmap entries did not work any more and has been fixed.


Bugfix SUP-6337

Copying tagmap entries into other ContentRepositories will now check for duplicates (same mapname and type) and will either ignore or overwrite the tagmap entries.


Bugfix SUP-6725

Devtool packages, which are created as symbolic links are not automatically detected. Directories with names starting with ‘.‘ (like ‘.git‘, ‘.svn‘, ...) are no longer detected as devtool packages. It is also no longer possible to create a package over the UI or REST API with a name starting with ‘.‘.


Bugfix SUP-6523

Tagmap entries with the same name but for different object types would be shown as “inconsistent“ if they were different in attributes, which had no relevance for the entry type (e.g. different targetType setting for entries of type “text“). This resulted in “conflicts” which could not be resolved and has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-6615

The field for elasticsearch settings of new ContentRepository Fragment entries was always prefilled with “null”. This has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-6673

Excluding CR Fragments from export by type did not work (Fragments were still exported). This has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-5404

Changes made on object property definitions were not automatically synchronized to devtool packages, even when the automatic sync was enabled. This has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-6675

Adds extra validity checks and uniqueness on breadcrumbs creation.


Bugfix SUP-6227

When copying a ContentRepository, some attributes were not copied:

  • Elasticsearch Setting of ContentRepository
  • Flag for Instant Publishing
  • Flag to add Language Information
  • Flag to add Permission Information
  • Flag for “Project per Node” (Mesh ContentRepository)
  • Permission Property (Mesh ContentRepository)
  • Elasticsearch Setting of Entry
  • Flag for Display Field of Entry
  • Flag for Segment Field of Entry
  • Flag for URL Field of Entry
    Those attribute will now also be copied.

Bugfix SUP-5480

Sometimes, when updating the binary contents of files, some temporary files could be left over in the folder /Node/tomcat/temp This has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-5519

The cookie handling of the RestClient has been modified, so that every instance will use a separate store. This fixes overwriting of the session cookie when multiple logged in instances were used.


Bugfix SUP-6439

Synchronizing template tags with pages behaved inconsistently: Missing tags were only added to pages, which also contained tags that needed to be migrated (because they used different constructs). This has been fixed now, when synchronizing template tags with pages, this will:

  • Create missing tags
  • Migrate existing tags to the construct used in the template
  • Remove superfluous tags (tags that came from the template, but no longer exist in the template or are no longer editable in pages)

Synchronization of template tags with pages can be triggered via

  • Template|Tag list (Action sync with pages)
  • Template|Define tags (Button Apply and sync with pages)
  • Template|Tagstate (Button sync with pages)

Bugfix SUP-6325

When an import changed only tags of a template, but no properties of the template itself (like the name or source), the editor and edate of the template were not modified. This has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-5378

The previews of images, which were resized with the GenticsImageStore were cached, regardless of whether the editor was allowed to view them. This could cause editors to see the cached “not allowed” image, if if they had sufficient privileges. This has been fixed now.


Gentics Content.Node 5.31.9


Bugfix SUP-6688

In certain cases lastNodeId for a user can be obsolote (e.g.: deleted, no permission, etc.) and in that cases the user stuck on the login screen / empty page. This has been fixed now.


Gentics Content.Node 5.31.8


Bugfix SUP-6679

When publishing into a Mesh ContentRepository with a roles property set, the permissions were not automatically set on the Mesh project‘s root nodes. This has been fixed now.


Gentics Content.Node 5.31.7


Bugfix SUP-6600

Under special circumstances (e.g. when using instant publishing, a fileupload manipulator and activiti), dirting of files did not always work as expected. This has been fixed now.


Gentics Content.Node 5.31.6


Bugfix SUP-6662

Some errors regarding permission setting while publishing into a Mesh CR have been fixed:

  • The datasource entries imported from Mesh CR into the roles datasource will no longer contain the uuid‘s of the roles.
    This allows migration of the datasource entries between systems that publish into different instances of Mesh.
  • Setting multiple roles on an object in the CMS did not work (roles were not set in Mesh)
  • The publish process will now also set READ permission on the Mesh projects (for roles that have READ_PUBLISHED permission on at least one object in the project)

Bugfix SUP-6661

It is now possible to configure an HTTP Proxy in a CustomProxy.


Gentics Content.Node 5.31.5


Bugfix SUP-6617

When using the new UI to edit the object properties of a file or image, saving could fail with an SGB, if the user never used the old UI before. This has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-6610

When user clicks on a language of a page and select Preview of the language in the context menu it was opened in Edit mode, but should be opened in Preview mode. This has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-6629

Synchronizing objects to master could cause an error on systems using PHP 7.1. This has been fixed.


Bugfix SUP-6654

When opening a page with variants an internal error occured, which in some cases prevented the “Save Page” and other buttons to not be displayed. This has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-6626

When no node was selected in the advanced search filters bar, the search was executed in the currently opened node. Furthermore the advanced search was not always executed recursively when only filters were set and no text was entered in the search bar. These two problems have been fixed.


Bugfix GTXPE-349

Improved the usability of the search bar.


Gentics Content.Node 5.31.4


Optional Manual Change

When saving forms containing ‘><”‘ chrome xss auditor was triggered. This can be deactivated by sending the X-XSS-Protection: 0 header.

Please enable the Apache 2 module “headers“. On most distributions this is done by executing “a2enmod headers”. Apache 2 has to be restarted afterwards. See https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=654794 for more details on the topic.


Bugfix SUP-6295

When a previous version of a page was restored in the new UI, the page‘s status label was not updated to ‘edited‘. This has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-6315

When copying a tag containing a checkbox part using the REST API endpoint /page/newtag, the tag returned by that call always claimed the checkbox part to have value “false“ (even if the copied tag was stored with the correct value “true”). This has been fixed now, the returned tag will always contain the correct data.


Bugfix SUP-6589

Groups were removed from the list of selectable recipients when sending a message.


Bugfix SUP-5179

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-6280

When objects were synchronized between channels, overviews were not dirted and republished in all cases. This has been fixed now.


Gentics Content.Node 5.31.3


The Gravatar feature will be removed in GCMS Version 5.32.
Meanwhile, Gravatar should be disabled by setting
$FEATURE[“no_gravatar”] = true;
See also No Gravatar in the guides.


Bugfix SUP-6161

The uniqueness check for page filenames failed to detect conflicts with published page versions, when the page was modified to another filename and not republished. This has been fixed now, the uniqueness check will now also check against published page versions.


Bugfix SUP-6075

When using the feature devtools and editing a template from the Templates list of a Node, this sometimes failed with an SGB due to an incorrect permission check. This has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-5153

The progress bar for downloading an import bundle has been improved to update more often.


Bugfix SUP-6491

When using the features mesh_contentrepository, contentfile_auto_offline and instant_cr_publishing in combination and publishing a page using an image or file from another node (and publishing into another ContentRepository), the dependency was set to be online in its node, but not published into the ContentRepository, which caused the image or file to be unavailable in the frontend. This has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-6501

The performance of the extended search in the new UI (especially for nodes containing many folders) has been improved.


Bugfix SUP-6250

The GlobalIdSync tool has been extended to support synchronization of datasource_values, if the datasources are in sync.


Bugfix SUP-6020

The loading of the available templates for a node (during navigation and advanced search) has been sped up.


Gentics Content.Node 5.31.2


Bugfix

Custom Proxy Configuration now allows parameters in URLs.


Bugfix SUP-6112

Deleting folders or triggering dependencies in multichannelling environments sometimes failed with an error like: Data inconsistent: Folder {[id]} of page {[id]} does not exist!
The cause for this error was no data inconsistency, but an incorrect multichannelling fallback, which has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-6424

Sometimes, searching for contentattributes in a multichannelling contentrepository with the CR Browser failed with an error. This has been fixed now.


Gentics Content.Node 5.31.1


Bugfix

Nodes, that publish into a Mesh ContentRepository expose the Mesh Project Name as property “meshProject”.


Gentics Content.Node 5.31.0


Optional Manual Change

Task Management Custom Tool

In order to allow the Task Management Custom Tool to be used in the new UI, you must create the symlink /Node/var/httpd/htdocs/.Node/task-management which points to /Node/.node/task-management


Optional Manual Change

In order to support internal static files contained in devtool packages, the configuration of the CMS Apache needs to be updated as described in the Devtools configuration guide


Enhancement

The new feature pub_dir_segment allows constructing the publish directory for pages and files from segments defined in the folders, instead of having each folder its own publish directory.


Enhancement

Extensions to the publishing mechanism into Gentics Mesh now allow for using multichannelling in combination with the Gentics Mesh Contentrepository feature


Enhancement GTXPE-286

UI: Add task management tool integration & “Request translation” button


Enhancement GTXPE-197

UI: Publish page from properties context menu


Enhancement GTXPE-299

UI: Allow overriding specific elements via custom tools for customer-specific behavior


Enhancement GTXPE-148

Tagmap Entries can now be organized in ContentRepository Fragments. This allows to reuse Tagmap Entries in multiple ContentRepositories and to add Tagmap Entries to Devtools packages


Enhancement GTXPE-275

When synchronizing an object to a master channel, the object is now checked for dependencies (linked pages, files or images) which can also be synchronized to the specified destination. The user can then select in an extra step which of those objects should also be synchronized.
See the documentation of the channelsync feature for more information.
