Bugfix SUP-7999 🔗 Link
When a page was modified by only using the tagfill dialog, the editor and edittimestamp were not updated. This has been fixed now.
Bugfix SUP-8029 🔗 Link
When a page was translated in the master node, possibly existing conflicting language variants were removed from the wastebin only in the master node, but not in channels, which caused a multichannelling inconsistency. This has been fixed now.
Bugfix SUP-8022 🔗 Link
Calls to the REST API Endpoint /page/localize/{id} for a page being either the master or already being localized in the given channel, returned an empty response. This has been fixed, the response will contain a responseinfo with responsecode “OK” together with a message.
The RestClient has also been fixed to better handle responses without responseinfo.
Bugfix SUP-7999 🔗 Link
When a queued page was modified (without assigning it to an editor first), the page was still in queue. This issue was introduced in the Version 5.34 and the behaviour has been changed to be like in older versions: When a page in queue is modified, the page will implicitly be removed from the queue.
Gentics Content.Node 5.34.6
Bugfix SUP-8010 🔗 Link

When a page was changed and then published by an editor without publish permissions (which sent the page into the queue) without explicitly saving the page first, no new version was created. Therefore, the changes to be published could not be inspected from the queue. This has been fixed, publishing will always create a new version (if necessary), even if executed by an editor without publish permission.

Enhancement SUP-6599 🔗 Link
GCN JS Api: When using TagAPI.save() it was not possible to pass options to the save REST-call, to influence the locking or version creation of the underlying page.

When publishing into a Mesh Content.Repository with “project per node” activated, the root folder of the Mesh project did not get any fields set. This has been fixed now.
Bugfix SUP-7872 🔗 Link
The tag status dialog for templates has been extended:
- A new column “Incompatible pages“ has been introduced to show the number of pages using a tagtype, which is incompatible with the tagtype used by the template

🔗 LinkEnhancement GTXPE-182 🔗 Link
Show distinct breadcrumbs in ItemList and ContentFrame.
Enhancement GTXPE-385 🔗 Link

The new Time Management will allow users to
- Publish (or republish) a page at a specified time
- Take a page offline at a specified time
When a page is scheduled for being published at a specific time, a new major version of the page will be created immediately. When the scheduled time is reached, exactly this version of the page will be published, even if the page was modified afterwards.
Users without publish permission will now be able to request a page to be taken offline. Such requests will be treated exactly like the requests to publish or republish pages: Users in supergroups with publish permission will be informed and the pages will be shown in the publish queue. From there, users with publish permission can either approve the request for taking the page offline or reassign the page to the editor.

Gentics Content.Node 5.33.7
Bugfix SUP-7615 🔗 Link
Fixes an issue with Image Manipulation when uploading a new image sometimes it was not possible after scaling.
Bugfix SUP-7569 🔗 Link
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.

Bugfix SUP-7425 🔗 Link
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-7591 🔗 Link
When using the new UI to edit a tag containing a part of type URL (image), and not using the new Tag Editor, the button to edit the image opened the old image editor, if the referenced image had been changed before.

Bugfix SUP-6836 🔗 Link
When synchronizing objects into devtool packages, the order of some element lists might change, which could cause unnecessary conflicts when merging with other changes with the use of a version control system (like git). This has been changed now in a way that the order of already existing elements will stay the same, while new elements will be appended at the end of the list.
Bugfix SUP-7561 🔗 Link
When a construct containing a part of type “Datasource” was synchronized from a devtool package, the datasource entries were not synchronized. This has been fixed now.
Bugfix SUP-7646 🔗 Link
When an error occurs while synchronizing a template from a devtool package into the CMS (e.g. because a construct used in the template does not exist in the CMS), the template was left locked, and that state was not immediately visible in the UI due to a caching issue. This has been fixed now, the template will be unlocked in case of errors.
Bugfix SUP-7643 🔗 Link
When publishing a node and channels into a Mesh Content.Repository, new images and files were initially written into all branches of the Mesh project, but removed with the next publish run. If a channel had publishing into Content.Repositories completely disabled, this could cause errors in the publish run. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-7569 🔗 Link
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-7425 🔗 Link
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-7591 🔗 Link
When using the new UI to edit a tag containing a part of type URL (image), and not using the new Tag Editor, the button to edit the image opened the old image editor, if the referenced image had been changed before.

Bugfix SUP-6793 🔗 Link
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.

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-6439 🔗 Link
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(Actionsync with pages)Template|Define tags(ButtonApply and sync with pages)Template|Tagstate(Buttonsync with pages)

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.
🔗 LinkThis 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-4079 🔗 Link

Gentics Content.Node 5.26.12
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.
🔗 LinkThis 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-4079 🔗 Link
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-4082 🔗 Link
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.
Bugfix SUP-4111 🔗 Link

Requests to the REST API endpoint /file/save/{id} with Content-Type: multipart/form-data (for fileuploads) with Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8 (or something similar, which preferred xml over json as response) always caused an Internal Server Error (500) response. This has been fixed now.
Bugfix SUP-3991 🔗 Link
In certain situations, rendering a link to another page with the channel directive would render ‘#‘ even for online pages in the preview and in instant publishing. Rendering the page with the regular publish process always rendered the link correctly. This issue has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-3915 🔗 Link
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.
Gentics Content.Node 5.26.9
Bugfix SUP-3867 🔗 Link
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-3873 🔗 Link
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 🔗 Link
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.
Bugfix SUP-3871 🔗 Link
When using the feature copy_tags to Copy & Paste multiple tags at once, the tags were copied but not inserted at the paste position due to a javascript error. This has been fixed now.

Some german umlauts were wrongly encoded. This bug only affected the cms webinterface. This has been fixed.
Bugfix SUP-3857 🔗 Link
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>">

Bugfix SUP-3601 🔗 Link
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. This has been fixed now: The page in the wastebin will be deleted regardless of the user‘s permission and replaced by the node language variant.
Bugfix SUP-3819 🔗 Link
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-3837 🔗 Link
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-3830 🔗 Link
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.

Optional Manual Change
The implementation of the gtxalohapagelink tag has been updated to prevent errors when saving a page.
🔗 LinkIn 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 🔗 Link
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-3808 🔗 Link
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.

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 🔗 Link
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.
Bugfix SUP-3724 🔗 Link
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.

🔗 LinkOptional 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.

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.
🔗 LinkThis 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-3819 🔗 Link
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-3808 🔗 Link
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.

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.

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.
🔗 LinkThis 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-4079 🔗 Link
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-3591 🔗 Link
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.

Bugfix SUP-3819 🔗 Link
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-3837 🔗 Link
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-3780 🔗 Link
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-3808 🔗 Link
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.

Bugfix SUP-3614 🔗 Link
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.
Bugfix SUP-3724 🔗 Link
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.

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.

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).

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).

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).

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-3503 🔗 Link
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-3501 🔗 Link
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-3324 🔗 Link
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.

The guides on defining velocity macros in a library page were updated. They now recommend using tagtype “html (long)” to contain the velocity-code in the macro library page.
Bugfix SUP-3320 🔗 Link
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 🔗 Link
Purging the wastebin from many deleted folders consumed a big amount of memory, which could cause OutOfMemory errors. This has been fixed now.

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”.

Bugfix SUP-3392 🔗 Link
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.
Bugfix SUP-3274 🔗 Link
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-3405 🔗 Link
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.
Gentics Content.Node 5.22.36
Bugfix SUP-3246 🔗 Link
When editables were modified during the page save process, a dialog could pop up that warns about unsaved changes. In order to prevent this dialog from appearing once the page was saved or published by the user, an additional check has been added.
Bugfix SUP-3190 🔗 Link

Bugfix SUP-3176 🔗 Link
When using the Feature dskeepselectvalues with a part of type “Select (multiple)“ in the tagfill dialog, clicking “Apply“ and then “OK“ (or clicking “Apply” multiple times) would clear all selected values from the part. This has been fixed now.
Bugfix SUP-3134 🔗 Link
When an editable part of a construct was deleted, this could cause subsequent errors in the publish process when using the feature publish_cache due to incorrectly cleared caches. This has been fixed now.
Gentics Content.Node 5.22.31
Bugfix SUP-2768 🔗 Link
When a new editable part is added to the construct used in object properties the existing object tags of objects were not properly updated when the object properties dialog was opened. This has been fixed now.
Bugfix SUP-3093 🔗 Link
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 🔗 Link
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-3087 🔗 Link
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-3091 🔗 Link
When a page is opened in edit mode of Aloha Editor and not saved within 10 minutes, the user‘s lock of the page was automatically lifted. This allowed other users to also edit the page, not aware that their changes could be overwritten by the first user. This has been fixed so that the lock on the page is updated on a regular basis as long as the first user keeps the page open in edit mode of Aloha Editor.
Bugfix SUP-3090 🔗 Link
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-3107 🔗 Link
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-2917 🔗 Link
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-2719 🔗 Link
When using multithreaded publishing and a publish process failed, this could cause additional exceptions “Cannot add job to Multiconnection transaction: Worker thread is not running” to be logged. Handling of aborting publish processes with multithreaded publishing has been improved, so that exceptions will only be logged if they are a possible cause but not the consequence of the aborting process.

When a new inline editable part was added to a construct and pages containing tags of that construct were edited using Aloha Editor, the new parts could not be filled unless the page was saved once. This has been fixed now.
Bugfix SUP-2927 🔗 Link
When a folder is deleted (put into the wastebin), a check was done for objects having localized copies in the structure, which would also be deleted. This check has been extended to also check for local objects (objects that were created in subchannels of the deleted folder‘s channel).
Bugfix SUP-3020 🔗 Link
When objects in a multichannelling environment were published into a contentrepository with the permission information added, the permissions of localized folders were not correctly inherited from their master folder. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-2995 🔗 Link
When the master page of a localized copy was taken offline, editors were notified that pages in the channel linking to the localized copy contained an invalid link now, although the link was still valid (linking the localized copy). This has been fixed now.
Bugfix SUP-2789 🔗 Link
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-2620 🔗 Link
The SQL Statements used to get the migration status for tagtype migrations was inefficient and could cause long running REST Requests. This has been fixed. Additionally, it is now possible to configure the polling interval for getting the migration status (default is still 1 second). See the guides for details. If the previous request to get the migration status did not return before the next request is due, the next request will be omitted now.
Bugfix SUP-2620 🔗 Link
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-2704 🔗 Link
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 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.

Gentics Content.Node 5.22.1
If an image was selected, a normal link to that image was created. This has been fixed now, so that also images will be treated as files.
For this fix to work, also the implementation of the tagtype might be changed: The hardcoded type 10008 has to be replaced with $!{cms.tag.parts.file.target.ttype}. See the Guides:“http://www.gentics.com/Content.Node/guides/aloha_gcn_filelink_plugin.html” for details.

Note that having several occurrences of the same tag should be avoided. It is not supported in Aloha editor since it implies invalid HTML markup and can only be achieved by editing the contents of an editable directly (for example using the tag fill dialog). This fix just prevents subsequent errors when a tag is not converted to an aloha-block. The different occurrences of a tag are not necessarily synchronized.

In inbox messages the links to pages in multichannel nodes where not resolved correctly. The link would always point to the page in the channel the user last worked in. This has been fixed: links to pages in messages will now always open the page in the channel, where the page can be edited without localizing it.
Bugfix SUP-2112 🔗 Link
When a page, which is published and is the target of a link in another page is put into the wastebin, the editor of the other page received an inbox message about the invalid link with the reason, that the link target was taken offline. While this is technically correct (the page is first taken offline and then put into the wastebin), it might be misleading. Therefore the inbox message for that case has been changed to be like when the page is deleted and not put into the wastebin.
Bugfix SUP-2107 🔗 Link
When linking/unlinking a single template from folders, where the user does not have permission to link the template to a folder where the template is already link, the user would always get an error message stating the missing permission.

Bugfix SUP-3093 🔗 Link
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.

Bugfix SUP-2789 🔗 Link
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-2555 🔗 Link
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).

Bugfix SUP-2184 🔗 Link
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-2284 🔗 Link
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-1684 🔗 Link
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.

The systemsession table was not cleaned regularly from old session data, which could cause the table to grow too big. This has been fixed now.
Also, request done via the REST API did not “touch” the systemsession by setting the time of the last access. This has also been fixed.
Gentics Content.Node 5.21.9
If an image was selected, a normal link to that image was created. This has been fixed now, so that also images will be treated as files.
For this fix to work, also the implementation of the tagtype might be changed: The hardcoded type 10008 has to be replaced with $!{cms.tag.parts.file.target.ttype}. See the Guides:“http://www.gentics.com/Content.Node/guides/aloha_gcn_filelink_plugin.html” for details.
Bugfix SUP-2148 🔗 Link
Fixed the tree frame becoming smaller each time it is loaded in Internet Explorer. Also fixed some Javascript errors in the tree.
Bugfix SUP-1816 🔗 Link
When several occurrences of the same tag (that is with the same tag ID, not just the same tag type) were present in a page, the Aloha editor would only convert the first one into an aloha-block. This behavior has been changed, so that every occurrence of a tag will become a block and get edit and delete buttons.
Note that having several occurrences of the same tag should be avoided. It is not supported in Aloha editor since it implies invalid HTML markup and can only be achieved by editing the contents of an editable directly (for example using the tag fill dialog). This fix just prevents subsequent errors when a tag is not converted to an aloha-block. The different occurrences of a tag are not necessarily synchronized.

When clicking the “Create copy“ button when editing an image, the button label changed to “Duplicate”. This has been fixed, so that it stays the same.
Bugfix SUP-2109 🔗 Link
In inbox messages the links to pages in multichannel nodes where not resolved correctly. The link would always point to the page in the channel the user last worked in. This has been fixed: links to pages in messages will now always open the page in the channel, where the page can be edited without localizing it.
Bugfix SUP-2112 🔗 Link
When a page, which is published and is the target of a link in another page is put into the wastebin, the editor of the other page received an inbox message about the invalid link with the reason, that the link target was taken offline. While this is technically correct (the page is first taken offline and then put into the wastebin), it might be misleading. Therefore the inbox message for that case has been changed to be like when the page is deleted and not put into the wastebin.
Bugfix SUP-2107 🔗 Link
When linking/unlinking a single template from folders, where the user does not have permission to link the template to a folder where the template is already link, the user would always get an error message stating the missing permission.

Bugfix SUP-1558 🔗 Link
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.

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.
🔗 LinkAFTER 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 🔗 Link
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 🔗 Link
The publish process now prints the number of successfully published folders, pages and files after completion. This information will be output in the scheduler.
Enhancement 🔗 Link
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 🔗 Link
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 🔗 Link
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 🔗 Link
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
Gentics Content.Node 5.20.51
Documentation SUP-3028 🔗 Link
The documentation of the Pageurl/Fileurl parttype now includes the information that the url property is only set for internal links.
Bugfix SUP-3066 🔗 Link
When a new inline editable part was added to a construct and pages containing tags of that construct were edited using Aloha Editor, the new parts could not be filled unless the page was saved once. This has been fixed now.
Bugfix SUP-2927 🔗 Link
When a folder is deleted (put into the wastebin), a check was done for objects having localized copies in the structure, which would also be deleted. This check has been extended to also check for local objects (objects that were created in subchannels of the deleted folder‘s channel).
Bugfix SUP-3020 🔗 Link
When objects in a multichannelling environment were published into a contentrepository with the permission information added, the permissions of localized folders were not correctly inherited from their master folder. This has been fixed now.
Bugfix SUP-3024 🔗 Link
Under special circumstances, the dependency calculation for a modified node or folder could fail with a NullPointerException, which has been fixed now.
Bugfix SUP-2995 🔗 Link
When the master page of a localized copy was taken offline, editors were notified that pages in the channel linking to the localized copy contained an invalid link now, although the link was still valid (linking the localized copy). This has been fixed now.
Bugfix SUP-2789 🔗 Link
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-2902 🔗 Link
The tagfill dialog still showed the names of referenced objects, even if they were put into the wastebin. This has been fixed now.
Bugfix SUP-3037 🔗 Link
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-2587 🔗 Link
The scheduler will now show more detailed information (the complete stacktrace with causing exceptions), when the publish run fails with an exception.
Bugfix SUP-3003 🔗 Link
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 🔗 Link
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.
Gentics Content.Node 5.20.50
Bugfix SUP-2926 🔗 Link
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.
Bugfix SUP-2967 🔗 Link
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 🔗 Link
Pagetags were still rendered, even if the targeted page was put into the wastebin. This has been fixed now.
Bugfix SUP-2968 🔗 Link
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.
Gentics Content.Node 5.20.49
Bugfix SUP-2872 🔗 Link
Files and folders were not correctly published after restoring them from the wastebin. This has been fixed.
Bugfix SUP-2860 🔗 Link
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-2162 🔗 Link
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-2620 🔗 Link
The SQL Statements used to get the migration status for tagtype migrations was inefficient and could cause long running REST Requests. This has been fixed. Additionally, it is now possible to configure the polling interval for getting the migration status (default is still 1 second). See the guides for details. If the previous request to get the migration status did not return before the next request is due, the next request will be omitted now.
Bugfix SUP-2620 🔗 Link
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-2704 🔗 Link
An internal pool for prepared database statements was not properly sized and could consume a large amount of memory during a long running publish process. This could lead to memory exhaustion and failing publish processes. The maximum number of pooled connections has been reduced to 10000 by default, and can now be configured as described in the guides.
Bugfix SUP-2829 🔗 Link
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.
Gentics Content.Node 5.20.48
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.
🔗 LinkBugfix SUP-2594 🔗 Link
ContentRepository browser: An error was printed, when one of the CRs is using the same MySQL username and password like the CMS itself and persistent database connections are activated. This has been fixed.
Bugfix SUP-2863 🔗 Link
Rest API: Fixed a bug in the auth/validate method where a session with ID -1 was considered as valid.
Bugfix SUP-2877 🔗 Link
The elements selection of an overview could contain elements that were already put into the wastebin (deleted). This has been fixed.
Bugfix SUP-2833 🔗 Link
An error in the node library has been fixed, which could cause the CMS to hang when using instant publishing into multichannelling aware contentrepositories.
Bugfix SUP-2810 🔗 Link
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 5.20.47
Gentics Content.Node 5.20.46
Bugfix SUP-2233 🔗 Link
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-2816 🔗 Link
If a user had no paging acitivated he could still only see a maximum of 18 entries in the wastebin. This has been fixed.
Gentics Content.Node 5.20.45
Documentation SUP-2577 🔗 Link
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 SUP-2728 🔗 Link
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-2730 🔗 Link
When copying a page to the root folder of a channel it was copied to the master of the root folder of the channel instead. This has been fixed.
Bugfix 🔗 Link
The publish log will now contain render times for the content and other attributes of pages separately.
Bugfix SUP-2475 🔗 Link
The unlocalize REST endpoints required the channel sync permission to unlocalize object, even when a user had enough permissions to delete them. This has been fixed.
Bugfix SUP-2753 🔗 Link
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-2634 🔗 Link
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-2750 🔗 Link
When using the old archive workflow to move files into another folder (instead of deleting them), the workflow failed, when the archive folder already contained a file with a name that was only different in case. This has been fixed now.
Bugfix SUP-2736 🔗 Link
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-2731 🔗 Link
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-2728 🔗 Link
The cache for node objects can now be individually configured for object type. See the Guides for details.
Bugfix SUP-2783 🔗 Link
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.
Gentics Content.Node 5.20.44
Bugfix SUP-2718 🔗 Link
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-2702 🔗 Link
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 🔗 Link
Fixed a problem where the permissions of templates linked to a folder in the wastebin only can‘t be determined anymore. This can cause imports to fail with an “Insufficient permissions” error.
Bugfix SUP-2714 🔗 Link
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 🔗 Link
The publish statistics for rendering pages have been improved to distinguish between rendering content and rendering other attributes.
Bugfix SUP-2717 🔗 Link
Previously, templates that were only linked to one folder were wrongly deleted when the folder was moved to the wastebin. Now templates will only be removed when a folder is permanently deleted.
Bugfix SUP-2721 🔗 Link
Multichannelling: Renaming the publish directory of a localized folder back to the one of the master folder didn‘t work in some cases. This has been fixed.
Gentics Content.Node 5.20.43

A note has been added to the faq for contentrepositories that explains the output of the data check.
Documentation SUP-2698 🔗 Link
Updated compatibility list and installation guide. It is mandatory to use the Oracle JDK with Gentics CMS.
Bugfix SUP-2635 🔗 Link
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 5.20.42
Bugfix SUP-2376 🔗 Link
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 🔗 Link
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-1632 🔗 Link
Installation Package: Correctly install and enable nodectl service.
Gentics Content.Node 5.20.41
Documentation SUP-2067 🔗 Link
The documentation of the Import in the Guides has been extended to explain, what will happend during an import.
Bugfix SUP-2575 🔗 Link
The paging controls were missing in the usage overviews of files and images. Also the overview of folders using an object did not list those folders, but the subfolders of the objects parent folder. These issues have been fixed.
Bugfix SUP-2563 🔗 Link
The version diff did not ignore differences in zero-width whitespace characters. This caused diffs shown in places with no visible difference. This has been fixed now, zero-width whitespace characters will now be ignored.
Bugfix SUP-2610 🔗 Link
Visiting the startpage caused errors to be logged when trying to get the estimated remaining time of the publishrun. This has been fixed.

- Deleted old session entries
- Deleted old log entries
- Updated the template of the Aloha Editor link tagtype
Bugfix SUP-2583 🔗 Link
Fixed a nullpointer-exception that could happen when starting the CMS the first time and the UUID of the demo node is null.
Bugfix SUP-2378 🔗 Link
When the internal scheduler fails to start upon start of the Tomcat (e.g. due to failures while connecting to the DB), the Tomcat will fail to start with an error message logged. Before this fix, Tomcat would start anyways and some background operations like deleting or localizing objects would only be queued, but never executed.

Bugfix SUP-2514 🔗 Link
Image Manipulation: replaced a confusing warning when saving auto-resized images with a clearer info message.
Bugfix SUP-2451 🔗 Link

Bugfix SUP-2550 🔗 Link
When restoring a page from the wastebin, the page was not visible in it‘s folder right away because the cache of the parent folder was not refreshed. This has been fixed.
Bugfix SUP-2525 🔗 Link
Deleted images were still visible in the minibrowser. This has been fixed.
Bugfix SUP-2451 🔗 Link
Aloha Editor gcn-plugin: When an editable was configured to show no insert buttons (empty array), the arena that contains the buttons normally was still shown. This has been fixed.
Bugfix SUP-2504 🔗 Link
When copying links in the Aloha Editor the second link would not be converted to a new link tag, causing multiple instances of links with the same (tag) ID on the page. This has been fixed.
Bugfix SUP-2515 🔗 Link
Loading a Template using the REST API produced an error when a request accepted the mimetype “application/xml” for the response. This has been fixed.
Bugfix SUP-2555 🔗 Link
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-2511 🔗 Link
Creating a copy of an image immediately after cropping would fail without an error message. This has been fixed.
Bugfix SUP-2539 🔗 Link
When objects were moved between folders, pages containing automatic overviews were not always dirted. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-2201 🔗 Link
The sidebar pannels of the GCN FileLink plugin now look more like their counterparts in the link plugin.
Bugfix SUP-2184 🔗 Link
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.
Gentics Content.Node 5.20.35
Bugfix SUP-2311 🔗 Link
Resized images in the GenticsImageStore were not properly updated when the binary contents of an image changed. This has been fixed.
Bugfix SUP-2429 🔗 Link
The Java REST API client didn‘t correctly define the Maven dependency for jackson-jaxrs. That‘s why this dependency had to be defined manually before. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-2289 🔗 Link
Fixed a null pointer exception that sometimes occured when deleting a whole node with templates.
Bugfix SUP-2429 🔗 Link
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”.

Bugfix SUP-2415 🔗 Link
When the wastebin feature is activated, the startpage flag icon wasn‘t shown correctly when the pages folder was localized and then moved to the wastebin (deleted). This has been fixed.
Gentics Content.Node 5.20.33

Gentics Content.Node 5.20.32
Bugfix SUP-2338 🔗 Link
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-2353 🔗 Link
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-2303 🔗 Link
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 🔗 Link

After editing the page properties and saving the changes, the page was not unlocked. This has been fixed.
Bugfix SUP-2184 🔗 Link
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-2284 🔗 Link
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.

When inserting a file link, with the FileLink plugin the freshly inserted link was not visible for editing. This has been fixed.
Bugfix SUP-2147 🔗 Link
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-1684 🔗 Link
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 5.20.25
Bugfix SUP-2160 🔗 Link
Copying nodes where objects have been moved to the wastebin (deleted) didn‘t work. This has been fixed.
Bugfix SUP-1862 🔗 Link
The systemsession table was not cleaned regularly from old session data, which could cause the table to grow too big. This has been fixed now.
Also, request done via the REST API did not “touch” the systemsession by setting the time of the last access. This has also been fixed.
Gentics Content.Node 5.20.24
If an image was selected, a normal link to that image was created. This has been fixed now, so that also images will be treated as files.
For this fix to work, also the implementation of the tagtype might be changed: The hardcoded type 10008 has to be replaced with $!{cms.tag.parts.file.target.ttype}. See the Guides:“http://www.gentics.com/Content.Node/guides/aloha_gcn_filelink_plugin.html” for details.
Bugfix SUP-2148 🔗 Link
Fixed the tree frame becoming smaller each time it is loaded in Internet Explorer. Also fixed some Javascript errors in the tree.
Bugfix SUP-1816 🔗 Link
When several occurrences of the same tag (that is with the same tag ID, not just the same tag type) were present in a page, the Aloha editor would only convert the first one into an aloha-block. This behavior has been changed, so that every occurrence of a tag will become a block and get edit and delete buttons.
Note that having several occurrences of the same tag should be avoided. It is not supported in Aloha editor since it implies invalid HTML markup and can only be achieved by editing the contents of an editable directly (for example using the tag fill dialog). This fix just prevents subsequent errors when a tag is not converted to an aloha-block. The different occurrences of a tag are not necessarily synchronized.
Bugfix SUP-1913 🔗 Link
The preview tooltip in the repository browser has been moved, so that it will no longer overlap with nearby filenames.
Bugfix SUP-1445 🔗 Link
When clicking the “Create copy“ button when editing an image, the button label changed to “Duplicate”. This has been fixed, so that it stays the same.
Bugfix SUP-2109 🔗 Link
In inbox messages the links to pages in multichannel nodes where not resolved correctly. The link would always point to the page in the channel the user last worked in. This has been fixed: links to pages in messages will now always open the page in the channel, where the page can be edited without localizing it.
Bugfix SUP-2112 🔗 Link
When a page, which is published and is the target of a link in another page is put into the wastebin, the editor of the other page received an inbox message about the invalid link with the reason, that the link target was taken offline. While this is technically correct (the page is first taken offline and then put into the wastebin), it might be misleading. Therefore the inbox message for that case has been changed to be like when the page is deleted and not put into the wastebin.
Bugfix SUP-2107 🔗 Link
When linking/unlinking a single template from folders, where the user does not have permission to link the template to a folder where the template is already link, the user would always get an error message stating the missing permission. However, linking/unlinking the template to/from folders where the user has the permission still worked as expected. This issue has been fixed now, so that the unnecessary message will not be shown any more.

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.
🔗 LinkThis 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/

When several occurrences of the same tag (that is with the same tag ID, not just the same tag type) were present in a page, the Aloha editor would only convert the first one into an aloha-block.

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

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.
🔗 LinkThis 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-881 🔗 Link
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.

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.
Gentics Content.Node 5.19.22
Bugfix SUP-664 🔗 Link
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 🔗 Link
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.

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.

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-506 🔗 Link
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.

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-746 🔗 Link
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.
Gentics Content.Node 5.19.15

Bugfix SUP-629 🔗 Link
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.

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“.

Bugfix SUP-480 🔗 Link
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).

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.

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-387 🔗 Link
When editing a page with Aloha Editor and an editable only contained a table, it was not possible to add content before or after the table. This has been fixed now: When the editable is activated, paragraphs will be created as landing areas for the cursor.
Bugfix SUP-418 🔗 Link
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-530 🔗 Link
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-401 🔗 Link
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.

For images having the mimetype “image/x-png” no thumbnails were generated in the backend, which has been fixed now.
Bugfix SUP-309 🔗 Link
Some problems with copying or importing templates in the backend have been fixed:
- When a template was copied into a folder of a node (not a channel), it was internally marked as belonging to a channel. This could subsequently lead to erros during the publish process.
- When templates that were incorrectly bound to a channel were exported and imported into another system,
they were incorrectly bound to a channel on the target system as well. - When a template was copied into the same folder in a channel, it was copied into the master instead.
This update will also correct incorrectly bound templates in the database.
Bugfix SUP-450 🔗 Link
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.

- 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.

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-73 🔗 Link
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.

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 🔗 Link
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 🔗 Link
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.

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 RT58702 🔗 Link
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 RT58697 🔗 Link
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-77 🔗 Link
Fixed potential inheritance restriction consistency problem when moving pages between channels.
Bugfix SUP-78 🔗 Link
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.

Feature RT58501 🔗 Link
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.

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.
🔗 LinkThis 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.

When users where granted permission to view files/images through roles, these permissions were not considered during a recursive search for files/images (in the subfolders). This has been fixed now.
Bugfix SUP-964 🔗 Link
Copying of pages in channels did not work due to an incorrect permission check, if the user was restricted to that channel. This has been fixed now.
Bugfix SUP-977 🔗 Link
When users with publish permission restricted to channels tried to publish pages out of the publish queue, this sometimes failed due to an incorrect permission check. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-826 🔗 Link
When editing a page with Aloha Editor and changing an internal link to point to an external target, this change sometimes was not persisted when saving. This has been fixed now.
Bugfix SUP-869 🔗 Link
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.
Gentics Content.Node 5.18.28
Bugfix SUP-664 🔗 Link
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 🔗 Link
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-819 🔗 Link
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-857 🔗 Link
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.
Gentics Content.Node 5.18.27

Bugfix SUP-802 🔗 Link
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 🔗 Link
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-781 🔗 Link
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 🔗 Link
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-767 🔗 Link
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-506 🔗 Link
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.
Gentics Content.Node 5.18.26

Make the shrinktofit option for the jqGrid (the object list) in the repository browser configurable. This option can be used to make the repository browsers width bigger on smaller screens while keeping the benefits of the dynamic resizing of the column widths.
Bugfix SUP-792 🔗 Link
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.

Gentics Content.Node 5.18.25
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 🔗 Link
A vulnerability of the GenticsImageStore in the CMS backend has been fixed.

The permission checks on the publish queue did not consider channel restrictions correctly. Users could see pages in the queue for all channels (but could not view the pages or approve publishing). The permission check in the queue has been fixed now.
Bugfix SUP-672 🔗 Link
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-405 🔗 Link
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 🔗 Link
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-746 🔗 Link
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.
Gentics Content.Node 5.18.24

Bugfix SUP-687 🔗 Link
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-101 🔗 Link
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.

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-710 🔗 Link
Users with permissions restricted to channels were not allowed to create local folders in their channels. This has been fixed now.
Bugfix SUP-679 🔗 Link
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-629 🔗 Link
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-654 🔗 Link
When using SSO with CAS or JOSSO, the user‘s sessions would be reset on every login. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-507 🔗 Link
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-430 🔗 Link
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 🔗 Link
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-610 🔗 Link
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-515 🔗 Link
Fixed wrong proxy prefix for Gentics-Imagestore-URLs in frontend editing.
Bugfix SUP-656 🔗 Link
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 🔗 Link
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.

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-558 🔗 Link
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-605 🔗 Link
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.

The permissions of object properties are now also respected by the GCN Rest API when loading or saving objects.
Security SUP-323 🔗 Link
Permissions: When a group had permissions on an object, and all permission were removed, the permission cache was not refreshed and the group still had the previous permissions. This only happened when all permissions to an object were removed.
Bugfix SUP-480 🔗 Link
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-434 🔗 Link
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.

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 🔗 Link
When defining the tags in a template, it is now possible to save an updated list of tags without synchronizing the pages (by clicking the ‘Apply‘ button) or to save and synchronize the pages (by clicking the new ‘Apply and synchronize pages‘ button). Additionally, if errors occur (e.g. because some pages are currently locked by other users), the whole synchronization process does not fail (and has to be repeated), but all pages, that can be synchronized will be synchronized. If the action is triggered again (by clicking ‘Apply and synchronize pages‘ without actually changing the tag definitions, the remaining pages will be synchronized. Additionally, there is now an additional view (“Tagstate” via the template‘s top menu) that will show, how many pages are in sync or out of sync with the template regarding the editable tag definitions.
Bugfix SUP-456 🔗 Link
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-187 🔗 Link
The process of saving a page has been optimized to avoid unnecessary checks, if only content, but no metadata was changed.
Bugfix SUP-187 🔗 Link
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-479-SUP-488 🔗 Link
Changed Contentrepository DB connection pool to be more resilient in cases of reset DB Connections.
Bugfix SUP-387 🔗 Link
When editing a page with Aloha Editor and an editable only contained a table, it was not possible to add content before or after the table. This has been fixed now: When the editable is activated, paragraphs will be created as landing areas for the cursor.
Bugfix SUP-418 🔗 Link
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 🔗 Link
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-473 🔗 Link
Fixed output of error log message caused by debug output when rendering tags for publishing.
Gentics Content.Node 5.18.19
Bugfix SUP-309 🔗 Link
Some problems with copying or importing templates in the backend have been fixed:
- When a template was copied into a folder of a node (not a channel), it was internally marked as belonging to a channel. This could subsequently lead to erros during the publish process.
- When templates that were incorrectly bound to a channel were exported and imported into another system,
they were incorrectly bound to a channel on the target system as well. - When a template was copied into the same folder in a channel, it was copied into the master instead.
This update will also correct incorrectly bound templates in the database.
Bugfix SUP-450 🔗 Link
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.

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.

Documentation SUP-170 🔗 Link
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 🔗 Link
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 🔗 Link
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-137 🔗 Link
Sometimes, the tree shown to select the target folder for copying pages was rendered incompletely. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-73 🔗 Link
When multiple requests to translate a given page into a specific language were sent at the same time (or in a way that a new request was sent before the previous request returned), it was possible that multiple language variants in the requested language were created for the same page. Only one of the language variants was visible in the backend, but possibly both were published. This has been fixed now. Translating pages will now be synchronized (per page), so that multiple parallel requests will only create a single language variant, which will be returned by all of those requests.
Gentics Content.Node 5.18.13
Bugfix RT58739 🔗 Link
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 🔗 Link
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 RT58697 🔗 Link
Recursively setting permissions or setting object properties might take longer and run into a timeout. In such cases, it was not perfectly clear to the user, what happened and if the requested action was successfully performed. The processes have been changed now, so that if setting the permissions or the object properties recursively takes longer than some seconds, it will be sent to the background. The user will get a message that the process is continued in the background and will get an instant message when the process is completed.
Bugfix SUP-78 🔗 Link
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.

The memory consumption of the timetrigger script (used for time based workflows) has been reduced.
Bugfix RT58651 🔗 Link
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.

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.

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.

Copying pages in multichannelling environments did not work as expected:

- 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 RT58556 🔗 Link
In some implementations, when editing a page in a channel with frontend editing, an SGB could occur when opening the tagfill dialog, if the user had edit permissions restricted to that channel due to incorrect checking of permissions. This has been fixed now, the edit permissions in the tagfill dialog will now always be checked for the page‘s channel.
Bugfix RT58538 🔗 Link
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.

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

Bugfix RT58531 🔗 Link
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 RT58561 🔗 Link
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.

Some errors, that occurred while rendering the tree will be logged now.
Bugfix RT58573 🔗 Link
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.

Bugfix RT58589 🔗 Link
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 RT58544 🔗 Link
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.

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.

Bugfix RT58489 🔗 Link
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 RT58490 🔗 Link
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.

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 RT58418 🔗 Link
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.

Manual Change
Apache webserver with new PHP version (package migration) & Apache Tomcat 7 update
🔗 LinkImportant: 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.

Bugfix SUP-664 🔗 Link
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 🔗 Link
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-819 🔗 Link

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-506 🔗 Link
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-746 🔗 Link
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-629 🔗 Link
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.

When defining the tags in a template, it is now possible to save an updated list of tags without synchronizing the pages (by clicking the ‘Apply‘ button) or to save and synchronize the pages (by clicking the new ‘Apply and synchronize pages‘ button). Additionally, if errors occur (e.g. because some pages are currently locked by other users), the whole synchronization process does not fail (and has to be repeated), but all pages, that can be synchronized will be synchronized. If the action is triggered again (by clicking ‘Apply and synchronize pages‘ without actually changing the tag definitions, the remaining pages will be synchronized. Additionally, there is now an additional view (“Tagstate” via the template‘s top menu) that will show, how many pages are in sync or out of sync with the template regarding the editable tag definitions.
Bugfix SUP-456 🔗 Link
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.

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.

When editing a page with Aloha Editor and an editable only contained a table, it was not possible to add content before or after the table. This has been fixed now: When the editable is activated, paragraphs will be created as landing areas for the cursor.
Bugfix SUP-418 🔗 Link
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 🔗 Link
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.

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.

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.

The user will get a message that the process is continued in the background and will get an instant message when the process is completed.
Bugfix SUP-78 🔗 Link
When moving folder structures within master nodes of multichannelling environments, all channel local objects in that structure were pushed to the master node as well. This has been changed now. Objects within moved folder structures will now only be moved between channels, if this is necessary to maintain channel integrity.
Example:
- Folder A is moved from the master node to a channel (of the same master node).
- Page B in Folder A, which belonged to the master node is also moved to the channel (because it cannot belong to the master, when the folder does not belong to the master).
- Page C in Folder A, which belonged to the channel is not moved (already belongs to the target channel).
- Page D in Folder A, which belonged to a subchannel is also not moved, because it does not violate the channel integrity.

Bugfix RT58538 🔗 Link
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.

- 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 “.”.

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.

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.

Enhanced the documentation of how to migrate GCN to the new package with system distribution Apache.
Bugfix RT58516 🔗 Link
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 🔗 Link
When using the Repository Browser in IE7 (or in a more recent version of Internet Explorer in IE7 mode), resizing the window and/or the Repository Browser could completely crash the browser. This has been fixed now.
Bugfix RT58525 🔗 Link
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 🔗 Link
When rendering other tags with the velocity directory #gtx_edit() never rendered the tags in edit mode. This has been fixed now, the directory #gtx_edit() now also works for other tags.
Bugfix RT58528 🔗 Link
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 RT58526 🔗 Link
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 RT58521 🔗 Link
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 🔗 Link
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 5.17.16
Optional Manual Change
Implementation of the tagtype for the FileLink plugin maybe has to be updated
🔗 LinkThe Setup Guide of the Gentics Content.Node FileLink plugin did not explicitly state, that the part text of the tagtype must be inline editable. The documentation has been updated. If this plugin is used, the tagtype implementation must be changed accordingly.
Bugfix RT58459 🔗 Link
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 🔗 Link
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 🔗 Link
Sorting the items listed in the repository browser by name did not work and has been fixed now.
Gentics Content.Node 5.17.15
Bugfix RT58489 🔗 Link
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 RT58490 🔗 Link
When migrating existing projects to Aloha Editor, live editable tagtypes that use a part like Text, Text/HTML or Text/HTML (long) (which will replace newlines to br-Tags while rendering) would add superfluous br-Tags every time a page is edited with Aloha Editor. Changing the part to HTML would not change the stored content and newlines stored in the contents would no longer be transformed into br-Tags.
For this reason, the behavior of saving contents into such parts has been changed to strip all contained newlines. In this way, the editables can still be used with Aloha Editor without any further migration necessary.
It is mandatory to activate the feature aloha_annotate_editables for this to work. See the Aloha Editor Migration Guide for details.
Bugfix RT58430 🔗 Link
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 RT58412 🔗 Link
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.
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.
🔗 LinkBreaks 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 RM14229 🔗 Link
Feature “publish_folder_startpage”: Fixed a bug where the language variants of start pages wouldn‘t be published. When a page is published using instant publishing, the language variants of the start page will also be published now.
Bugfix RT58263 🔗 Link
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 RT58467 🔗 Link
When disabling the IE7 Standards Mode, and editing pages using the old Live Editor, some incorrect CSS setting caused rendering problems for editable areas. The borders around editables containing multiple lines of content were not rendered correctly and the tag icon changed it‘s position when activating the editable. This has been fixed now.
Bugfix RT58443 🔗 Link
The gallery view was affected by the paging setting, but did not show the paging controls. Also the placement of the images in the gallery was wrong. This has been fixed now, the gallery will now show all images and will not use paging.
Bugfix RT58456 🔗 Link
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 RT58334 🔗 Link
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 RT58451 🔗 Link
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 RT58418 🔗 Link
When pages, images or files cannot be moved due to naming conflicts, the error messages will now explicitly contain the names of the conflicting objects and their folders. Additionally, if the conflict arises in a channel (but not in the master node), the channel name will be contained in the error messages. Error messages will now be shown in a browser alert message, so they cannot be easily missed.
Bugfix RT58456 🔗 Link
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 🔗 Link
When changing the name of a folder, without changing the publish directory, no check for duplicate publish paths will be done. Therefore, changing only the name is still possible, even if duplicate publish paths already exist.
Gentics Content.Node 5.17.13
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
🔗 LinkBugfix RT58434 🔗 Link
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 RT58408 🔗 Link
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 RT58436-RT58436 🔗 Link

Bugfix RT58312 🔗 Link
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 RT58437 🔗 Link
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 RT58139 🔗 Link
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 RT58388 🔗 Link
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.

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 🔗 Link
Moving folder structures between channels did not work as expected. Objects contained in the moved folder structure possibly were not moved between the channels. This could result in inconsistent data, where inherited objects were located in local folders. This has been fixed now. Additionally, some additional checks for possible naming conflicts will be done, when moving folder structures between nodes. When moving large folder structures takes longer than some seconds, the move operation will now be continued in the background. The user will get a notification (via instant message), when the folder structure has been moved.
Bugfix RT58432 🔗 Link
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 RT58386 🔗 Link
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.

The issue has been fixed now, deleting pages will now work under all circumstances.
Bugfix RT58339 🔗 Link
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.

If a content file has no file extension, then the meta attribute file.extension returned the file name instead of an empty string. This has been fixed.
Bugfix RT58324 🔗 Link
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 RT58243 🔗 Link
In some cases, due to incorrect tagmap data, the content repository synchronization during the publish process would detect changes in the content repository structure every time. This caused “changing” the structure on every publish run, which did not actually change anything, but just took some unnecessary time. This has been fixed now, the content repository structure will now only be modified if really necessary.
Bugfix RT58320 🔗 Link
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 RT58319 🔗 Link
Tagtype fill: When editing a tagtype that has a “Select (multiple)“-part in the “Fill“ dialog, a broken error message appeared when saving the properties with “OK“. This happened on systems where GCN runs with PHP 5.3 or higher and has been fixed now. Error message: “A tag name contains invalid characters: Line: 1 Tag:”.
Bugfix RT58285 🔗 Link
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 🔗 Link
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.
Gentics Content.Node 5.17.5
Manual Change
Aloha Link Plugin: Links were not escaped correctly when inserted with the aloha link plugin.
🔗 LinkWith 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 🔗 Link
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 RT58207 🔗 Link
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 RT58243 🔗 Link
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.

When pages were moved to other folders, they were left in the “locked“ state, even if they were not locked before. Also when pages were copied, the copy was “locked”. Both issues have been fixed now, moving or copying pages will not lock them.
Bugfix RT58268 🔗 Link
The handling of dirt events that affected many objects was done very inefficient, which could cause long processing times during which the publish process would not start. This has been fixed now, dirting is done more efficient now.
Bugfix RT58260 🔗 Link
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 RT58131 🔗 Link
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.
Gentics Content.Node 5.17.3
Bugfix RT58217 🔗 Link
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 🔗 Link
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 RT58192 🔗 Link

Bugfix RT58187 🔗 Link
When using Roles to grant permissions on languages to users, the “translate“ role was not sufficient to create language variants of existing pages. This has been fixed now, users with the “translate“ role for a specific language are allowed to create translations (language variants of existing pages), whereas creation of new pages still requires the “create“ role (or the “create” group permission).
Bugfix RT58202 🔗 Link
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 RT58196 🔗 Link
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 RT58156 🔗 Link
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 RT58204 🔗 Link
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 RT58198 🔗 Link
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 RT58179 🔗 Link
Setting permissions on custom tree entries did not work as expected and has been fixed now.
Bugfix RT58159 🔗 Link

Feature KB1481 🔗 Link
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
Feature KB1391 🔗 Link
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.
Enhancement 🔗 Link
With the new feature omit_publish_table turned on, pages that are not published into the filesystem will no longer be written into the publish table. This reduces the size of the backend database and increases the overall publish performance if not all nodes publish into the filesystem.
Enhancement 🔗 Link
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.
Enhancement 🔗 Link
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 🔗 Link
The REST Model for pages and templates has been extended to contain multichannelling information. Also the REST Model of Properties has been extended to support all existing PartTypes. See the Gentics Content.Node REST API Documentation for details.
Enhancement RT57896 🔗 Link
The method TagAPI.parts() is introduced to allow one to enumerate a tag‘s parts.

The new feature publish_cache improves the publish performance by caching page data. Please consult the Gentics Content.Node Documentation for details.
Enhancement RM13252 🔗 Link
The REST API for templates has been extended with two new methods:
- /CNPortletapp/rest/template/link links templates to folders

Bugfix RT58217 🔗 Link
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 🔗 Link
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 5.16.15
Bugfix RT58192 🔗 Link
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.

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 RT58204 🔗 Link
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 RT58198 🔗 Link
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 RT58187 🔗 Link
When using Roles to grant permissions on languages to users, the “translate“ role was not sufficient to create language variants of existing pages. This has been fixed now, users with the “translate“ role for a specific language are allowed to create translations (language variants of existing pages), whereas creation of new pages still requires the “create“ role (or the “create” group permission).
Bugfix RT58179 🔗 Link
Setting permissions on custom tree entries did not work as expected and has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT57955 🔗 Link
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 RT57915 🔗 Link
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 RT57966 🔗 Link
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 🔗 Link
The error handling for publishing into contentrepositories with multithreaded publishing has been improved.
Bugfix RT57892 🔗 Link
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 RT57957 🔗 Link
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 RT57916 🔗 Link
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 RT57921 🔗 Link
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 RT57856 🔗 Link
When cancelling a page while editing it in Aloha Editor or using the REST API, the global ID of the page might change, which would cause unexpected behavior when the page was exported to another system, since the page would then have different global IDs on the systems and could not be overwritten by a subsequent export. This has been fixed now, the global IDs of pages will no longer change when cancelling editing. Pages that are already affected by changed global IDs need to manually be modified if necessary.
Bugfix RT57820 🔗 Link
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.
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.
🔗 LinkThe version of jQuery UI that is used by the repository browser in the tagfill dialog has been upgraded from 1.8.1 to 1.9.1 . This has been done in order to fix a bug that prevented the minibrowser‘s left and right panels from being resizable in IE9 when $FEATURE[“disableIE7StandardsMode“] is set to “true”. The jQuery UI that is used in the tag fill is not supported as offical API by Gentics Content.Node . If any implemenation made use of it, those implementations may be affected by this change.
Manual Change
The flag-icons plugin is not shipped anymore and must be removed from the Aloha configuration in node.conf.
🔗 LinkGentics 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.
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.
With this release you no longer have to use the included package Apache webserver, package PHP binaries and various utility binaries. The distribution tools, distribution Apache webserver and distribution PHP installation can be used instead. Thus support for distribution Apache webserver and PHP has been added to Gentics Content.Node.
The optional changes include:
- Removal of various binary tools in the /Node/bin directory. (eg.: rsync, lftp, curl, wget..)
- Removal of various binary libraries in /Node/lib
- Removal pf Apache Webserver binaries
- Removal of PHP binaries
- Removal pf MySQL binaries
- Updated node.conf structure
Note that the migrated package installation will no longer support the public apache site configuration thus legacy XNL Functions that make use of the public apache will no longer work. Additionally it is mandatory to migrate to the system MySQL Server when this manual change is being applied.
Please read the configuration and migration guide which is applicable for the latest distributions of SUSE Enterprise Linux, Redhat Enterprise Linux and Debian Linux. Do the package migration after updating Gentics Content.Node to 5.14.* with the Autoupdate.

Bugfix RT58217 🔗 Link
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 🔗 Link
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 5.15.29
Bugfix RT58192 🔗 Link

Bugfix RT58156 🔗 Link
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 RT58204 🔗 Link
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 RT58198 🔗 Link
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.

Manual Change
Aloha Link Plugin: Links were not escaped correctly when inserted with the aloha link plugin.
🔗 LinkWith 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.
Bugfix RT58187 🔗 Link
When using Roles to grant permissions on languages to users, the “translate“ role was not sufficient to create language variants of existing pages. This has been fixed now, users with the “translate“ role for a specific language are allowed to create translations (language variants of existing pages), whereas creation of new pages still requires the “create“ role (or the “create” group permission).
Bugfix RT58179 🔗 Link
Setting permissions on custom tree entries did not work as expected and has been fixed now.
Bugfix RT58159 🔗 Link
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 RT58124 🔗 Link
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 RT58124 🔗 Link
When exporting an object that can have object tags (folder, template, page, image or file), only enabled object tags will be exported.

Bugfix RT57915 🔗 Link
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 RT57966 🔗 Link
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.

This also affected frontend editing using Gentics Portal.Node Java, which did not work for channel specific pages.
Bugfix RT57950 🔗 Link
The error handling for publishing into contentrepositories with multithreaded publishing has been improved.
Bugfix RT57892 🔗 Link
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 RT57957 🔗 Link
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 RT57916 🔗 Link
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 RT57921 🔗 Link
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 RT57856 🔗 Link
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.

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.

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.

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 🔗 Link
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).

A potential php out of memory error has been fixed in the maintenance dialog.
Bugfix RT57658 🔗 Link
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 RT57606 🔗 Link
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 RT56622 🔗 Link
Removing of objects from a multichannelling aware contentrepository with instant publishing did not work. The objects were removed at the next publish run. This has been fixed now, when instant publishing is enabled, objects will be immediately be removed unless more than one object is deleted at once.
Bugfix RT57607 🔗 Link
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 RT57605 🔗 Link
The SQL statements used to find reusable data files for filesystem attributes in multichannelling aware contentrepositories were inperformant and have been improved.
Bugfix RT56058 🔗 Link
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.

Enhancement 🔗 Link
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.
Enhancement 🔗 Link
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
Bugfix RT57596 🔗 Link
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 RT57590 🔗 Link
On some systems the Regex.Admin view did not display properly. A security check prevented the correct rendering of the view. The check has been adapted and the view will now render correctly.

Bugfix RT57212 🔗 Link
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.
Bugfix RT53165 🔗 Link
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 RT57550 🔗 Link
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.

Moving of inherited or localized folders is not allowed, because they must be moved in their master node. If an editor tried to move a localized or inherited folder, nothing happened, but the editor got no information telling why. This has been fixed now: If an editor tries to move an inherited or localized folder, an information will be displayed that this is not possible (similar to moving pages, images or files).
Bugfix RT57499 🔗 Link
When the action “check data“ or “repair data“ for a ContentRepository was started, the status changed to “Running“, even though the job was actually queued (along with other dirt or maintenance events or even the publish process). This has been changed now. The status will now show “Queued“ as long as the job is in the Queue and will only switch to “Running“ when the job really is started. Additionally, queued ContentRepository jobs will now be shown as “ContentRepository Maintenance Action“ instead of “Dependency Calculation” in the maintenance dialog.
Bugfix RT57495 🔗 Link
When editing tags as blocks using Aloha Editor and the tagtype implementation contained script tags and a jQuery version >= 1.9.0 was used, the script tags were replaced by some random numbers when the tag was re-rendered in the page after being modified using the tagfill dialog. These numbers were not saved to the page and did not affect the published content of the page, but were just shown while editing the page. This has been fixed now, re-rendering tags containing script tags will now also work with jQuery versions >= 1.9.0.
Bugfix RT57434 🔗 Link
When migrating tags from a tagtype that contained non-editable parts using the tagtype migration tool, the filled value of the non-editable part in the source tagtype was removed, which should not happen. This has been fixed now. When migrating tags the source and target tagtypes are not changed.

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 🔗 Link
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.

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 RT58243 🔗 Link
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 RT58285 🔗 Link
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 🔗 Link
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.

The error handling for publishing into contentrepositories with multithreaded publishing has been improved.
Bugfix RT57892 🔗 Link
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 RT57957 🔗 Link
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 RT57916 🔗 Link
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 RT57921 🔗 Link
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 RT57856 🔗 Link
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.

When opening a page for editing with Aloha Editor, the toolbar entries to insert new tags into editables are created asynchronously.

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 5.14.0
Manual Change
Fileuploader: The node.conf options “alwaysfileuploadfallback“ & “multifileupload” have been removed with the introduction of the new fileuploader.
🔗 LinkAs 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.
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.
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.

Enhancement RT56044 🔗 Link
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 RT53174 🔗 Link
Added a “Localize” option to the context menu of channel folders in the tree view of the left frame of the backend.
Bugfix RM7588 🔗 Link

Bugfix RT56774 🔗 Link
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 RT56910 🔗 Link
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 🔗 Link
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.

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 🔗 Link
A translation issue was fixed in the tag type creation view.
Bugfix RT57097 🔗 Link
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 RT57120 🔗 Link
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 🔗 Link
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 🔗 Link
Channel folders: When creating a new folder inside a local(ized) folder in a channel, it didn‘t inherite the object properties from the mother folder from the channel, but from the master. This has been fixed now.
Bugfix RT56930 🔗 Link
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 RT56775 🔗 Link
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 5.13.22
Bugfix RT57120 🔗 Link
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.

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 5.13.21
This update will make a structural change in the table dependencymap2, that might take longer than usual depending on the size of the table.
🔗 LinkBugfix RT57063 🔗 Link
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 RT57077 🔗 Link
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 RT57034 🔗 Link
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 🔗 Link
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 RT56403 🔗 Link
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 RT56602 🔗 Link
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 RT56783 🔗 Link
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 RT56477 🔗 Link
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 RT56960 🔗 Link
Sometimes, the scheduler loses the connection to a publish process it started, although the publish process is still running due to timeout problems. In this cases, the scheduler job is marked as “failed“. When the scheduler tries to start the publish process again, this also failed, because the process was still running. Such cases will be handled differently now: if the scheduler tries to start a publish process and finds the process already running, it will “join“ the publish process, like if it just had been created. Therefore if the scheduler loses the connection to a still running publish process, subsequent job runs will not fail with reason “Publish process already running” any more.
Bugfix RT56980 🔗 Link
Localized files and images inside a channel were not correctly displayed in their respective list overviews. This issue has now been resolved.
Bugfix RT56879 🔗 Link
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 🔗 Link
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.
Gentics Content.Node 5.13.18
Manual Change
The database layer has been updated to better estimate the length semantics of varchar/varchar2 columns.
🔗 LinkThis 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 RT56765 🔗 Link
If an online page was scheduled to be republished using the function “publish at”, in special cases it could happen that the page was republished too early. This has been fixed now.
Bugfix RT56623 🔗 Link
Editables that are nested inside of other editables will now be encoded and saved correctly when editing with the GCN JS API.
Bugfix RT56667 🔗 Link
Folder settings: Fixed “Cancel”-button not redirecting back to the last folder view.
Bugfix RT56765 🔗 Link
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 RT54963 🔗 Link
A misleading tooltip that was shown when choosing elements in a selection-tagpart was removed.
Bugfix RT55659 🔗 Link
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 RT56403 🔗 Link
Folder image/file view: Fixed performance issues with folders that contain more than 1000 images or files. The performance issues were caused by always loading all objects in the folder instead of only the objects for the current pagination view.
Bugfix RT56765 🔗 Link
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.

Gentics Content.Node 5.13.11
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).

Bugfix RT56181 🔗 Link
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!

Enhancement RT55978 🔗 Link
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 RM11269 🔗 Link
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 RT56107 🔗 Link
Fixed possible NPE when running a multithreaded publish process, where pages needed to be published, because they were scheduled with the “publish at” action.

Synchronizing the scrollbars in the translate page view did not work anymore and has been fixed.
Bugfix RT55458 🔗 Link
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 RT55946 🔗 Link
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 🔗 Link
The top menu was incorrectly positioned in the translate page view. This has been fixed now.
Bugfix RT55676 🔗 Link
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 RT55756 🔗 Link
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.

Enhancement RT55980 🔗 Link
The javascript error logging for the tagtype migration and template migration has been enhanced.
Bugfix RT54768 🔗 Link
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 RT55933 🔗 Link
Fixed a bug that prevented starting due scheduler jobs because of a database inconsistency.
Bugfix RT56056 🔗 Link
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 RT55898 🔗 Link
Fixed Permission Error when editing a page in a channel without permission to see the master node.
Bugfix RT55989 🔗 Link
Publish runs that remove many objects from a content repository at once can lead to idle database connections, which in certain circumstances could be closed during this interval. The connections are now kept alive with the algorithm and configurable variable described in Bugfix RT47489.
Bugfix RT55983 🔗 Link
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 RT56053 🔗 Link
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.

Fix possible SGB when pressing F5 in the browser while having the user form open.
Bugfix RT55706 🔗 Link
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 🔗 Link
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().

The rendering performance was improved. Especially overviews will now render faster.
Bugfix RT55761 🔗 Link
When handling a dirtqueue event fails, the event will now be marked as failed (together with the reason) in the database. Before this fix, handling the event was tried again, which possibly delayed starting of the publish process until the failure reason was removed.
Bugfix RT55739 🔗 Link
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.
Bugfix RT55709 🔗 Link
Fixed possible “hanging” of publish process when using multithreaded publishing.
Bugfix RT55709 🔗 Link
Some database indices have been added to speed up channel specific queries. This will increase rendering performance of pages in channels that use lot‘s of other pages (e.g. overviews).

Mandatory tags: Fixed small typo in the error message when publishing a page.
Bugfix RT55887 🔗 Link
Fix some SQL statements to no longer use subselects, which do not perform on MySQL under specific circumstances. This fixes bad performance when getting objects for multichannelling.
Bugfix RT55709 🔗 Link
The memory consumption of the server while writing pages into the filesystem has been reduced. Before this fix, if large numbers of pages had to be written to the filesystem, the total amount of all page contents had to fit into the server memory, which could lead errors in the publish process due to OutOfMemory exceptions.
Gentics Content.Node 5.13.5
It was renamed from TAGTYPEMIGRATION_POSTPROCESSTORS to TAGTYPEMIGRATION_POSTPROCESSORS
Bugfix RT55240 🔗 Link
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 RT55716 🔗 Link
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 RT55269 🔗 Link
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 RT55618 🔗 Link
Fixed the display of pages to be published/delayed on the start screen to not include pages in nodes, that have updating the filesystem/ContentRepository disabled. Additionally, the nodes that have updating the filesystem/ContentRepository disabled will be marked in the maintenance dialog.
Bugfix RT55500 🔗 Link
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 RT55600 🔗 Link
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.

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 RT55269 🔗 Link
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 🔗 Link
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 RT55388 🔗 Link
Fixed possible database lock during a publish run that could cause an error while deleting a file.

Bugfix RT54941 🔗 Link
A race condition producing exceptions on concurrent database accesses (e.g. multithreaded page create REST calls) has been fixed.
Bugfix RT54461 🔗 Link
The behavior of instant publishing was changed to disable immediate removal of deleted objects in ContentRepositories when deleting multiple objects at a time.
Bugfix RT54936 🔗 Link
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 RT55313 🔗 Link
New object tags are now correctly prefilled with the default values of the underlying tagtype in the tag fill form.
Bugfix RT55496 🔗 Link
Fix possible not threadsafe usage of the database driver when using multithreaded publishing to write into several ContentRepositories during very long publish runs.

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 RT55451 🔗 Link
Import/Export: Fixed the automatic export download system (via URL) not working anymore because the export system denies the connection.
Bugfix RT55328 🔗 Link
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 🔗 Link
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 RT55394 🔗 Link
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 RT55239 🔗 Link
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 RT55312 🔗 Link
Aloha.GCN.openTagFill() would result in an error when trying to open it to edit object tags, this behavior is now fixed.
Bugfix RT55143 🔗 Link
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 RT55346 🔗 Link
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 RT55134 🔗 Link
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 RT55065 🔗 Link
When exporting, export warnings were generated for excluded objects. This is fixed now, export warnings are generated only for non-excluded object types.
Bugfix RT55127 🔗 Link
Fixed possible DB locks during a publish process that caused problems when editing pages. This also fixes possible errors at the start of a publish process (because a lock could not be acquired).
Bugfix RT55211 🔗 Link
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 linkplugin targetRegex setting not correctly working.
Bugfix RT55299 🔗 Link
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 RT55143 🔗 Link
When getting pages from a folder via the REST API with the inSync parameter set, an exception was thrown if pages were synchronized with another page that could no longer be found on the system (i.e. was deleted).
Bugfix RT53937 🔗 Link
Dependent pages were previously not dirted when a tag type was overwritten by an import. The new behaviour is to dirt all dependent pages whenever a tag type is changed.
Bugfix RT54731 🔗 Link
Fixed a minor bug that sometimes caused flag icons not to be shown for start pages set in a folder.
Bugfix RT53746 🔗 Link
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 RT54771 🔗 Link
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 RT54911 🔗 Link
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 🔗 Link
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 🔗 Link
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 RT53175 🔗 Link
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 RT54078 🔗 Link
Fix possible (but rare) NPE while finishing a multithreaded publish process.
Bugfix RT54954 🔗 Link
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 RT54935 🔗 Link
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 🔗 Link
Corrected a previous fix for a NullPointerException in the publish process due to a synchronization problem.
Bugfix RT54509 🔗 Link
Improved permission checks for error log, workflow administration and inbox messages.
Bugfix RT54882 🔗 Link
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 🔗 Link
Fixes an error that occurred during template migration when linking the target template with the folders linked with the source template.
Gentics Content.Node 5.13.0
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.
🔗 LinkThis release of Gentics Content.Node contains all bugfixes from 5.12.12 and below.

Enhancement 🔗 Link
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 RT53533 🔗 Link
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 RM6440 🔗 Link
Added support for configurable RequestDecorators to intercept and modify requests to the GenticsImageStore.
Enhancement RT54240 🔗 Link
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 🔗 Link
The list of nodes in the backend will now show with icons, which nodes have publishing disabled, which nodes will be published into the filesystem and which nodes will be published into a content repository.
Enhancement RM8177 🔗 Link
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 RM2239 🔗 Link
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.
Bugfix 🔗 Link
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 🔗 Link
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.

The REST API getItems performance for folders with many pages was improved.
Gentics Content.Node 5.12.26
Bugfix RT56138 🔗 Link
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 RT55948 🔗 Link
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.
Gentics Content.Node 5.12.25
Bugfix RT55141 🔗 Link
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 RT56174 🔗 Link
Fixed the assignment of constructs to nodes during the import.
Bugfix RT56127 🔗 Link
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 🔗 Link
A performance issue has been fixed that slowed down the listing of files/images in folders with a big number of files/images.
Bugfix RT56138 🔗 Link
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.
Gentics Content.Node 5.12.24
Enhancement RT55978 🔗 Link
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 RM11269 🔗 Link
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 RT56107 🔗 Link
Fixed possible NPE when running a multithreaded publish process, where pages needed to be published, because they were scheduled with the “publish at” action.

Synchronizing the scrollbars in the translate page view did not work anymore and has been fixed.
Bugfix RT55458 🔗 Link
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 RT55946 🔗 Link
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 🔗 Link
The top menu was incorrectly positioned in the translate page view. This has been fixed now.
Bugfix RT55676 🔗 Link
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 RT55756 🔗 Link
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 RT54768 🔗 Link
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 RT55933 🔗 Link
Fixed a bug that prevented starting due scheduler jobs because of a database inconsistency.
Bugfix RT55989 🔗 Link
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.

Various Oracle MySQL 5.6.12 compatibilty issues were resolved. For more information please check the compatibility list
Bugfix RT55875 🔗 Link
A feature “always_allow_page_create_variant” has been added to allow for backwards compatiblity for installations that rely on the user‘s ability to create a page variant without edit permissions, a bug that has been fixed in RT54981 (5.12.18 and 5.13.5)
Bugfix RT55959 🔗 Link
Localizing a channel was erroneously bound to the “delete folder“ permission in the backend ui. Now the “create folder” permission is checked.

Fixed possible publish error for very long running publish processes when multithreaded publishing is used.
Gentics Content.Node 5.12.21
Bugfix RT55706 🔗 Link
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 🔗 Link
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 RT55744 🔗 Link
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 RT55887 🔗 Link
Fix some SQL statements to no longer use subselects, which do not perform on MySQL under specific circumstances. This fixes bad performance when getting objects for multichannelling.
Gentics Content.Node 5.12.19
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).
Bugfix RT55761 🔗 Link
When handling a dirtqueue event fails, the event will now be marked as failed (together with the reason) in the database. Before this fix, handling the event was tried again, which possibly delayed starting of the publish process until the failure reason was removed.
Bugfix RT55709 🔗 Link
Fixed possible “hanging” of publish process when using multithreaded publishing.
Bugfix RT55709 🔗 Link
Some database indices have been added to speed up channel specific queries. This will increase rendering performance of pages in channels that use lot‘s of other pages (e.g. overviews).

Editables that are contained in blocks which become wrapped (because their root element is not among those configured in allowed rootTags) will now still activate properly and show the correct floating menu configuration.
Bugfix RT55772 🔗 Link
Mandatory tags: Fixed small typo in the error message when publishing a page.
Bugfix RT55709 🔗 Link
The memory consumption of the server while writing pages into the filesystem has been reduced. Before this fix, if large numbers of pages had to be written to the filesystem, the total amount of all page contents had to fit into the server memory, which could lead errors in the publish process due to OutOfMemory exceptions.
Gentics Content.Node 5.12.18
Bugfix RT55240 🔗 Link
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 RT55500 🔗 Link
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 RT55600 🔗 Link
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.

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 RT54981 🔗 Link
A user will now need edit permission on a page in order to create a page variant of it.
Bugfix RT55188 🔗 Link
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 RT55269 🔗 Link
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 🔗 Link
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 RT55388 🔗 Link
Fixed possible database lock during a publish run that could cause an error while deleting a file.

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.
Gentics Content.Node 5.12.17
Manual Change
Validation feature: Fixed special characters like umlauts in strings (eg.: filenames when uploading files), causing the strict AntiSamy validation to fail.
🔗 LinkAntiSamy 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 🔗 Link
A race condition producing exceptions on concurrent database accesses (e.g. multithreaded page create REST calls) has been fixed.
Bugfix RT54461 🔗 Link
The behavior of instant publishing was changed to disable immediate removal of deleted objects in ContentRepositories when deleting multiple objects at a time.
Bugfix RT54936 🔗 Link
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 RT55313 🔗 Link
New object tags are now correctly prefilled with the default values of the underlying tagtype in the tag fill form.
Bugfix RT55496 🔗 Link
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 🔗 Link
Feature Live URLs: Fixed liveurl icon not being displayed in the page list sometimes.
Bugfix RT55299 🔗 Link
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 RT55324 🔗 Link
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 RT55451 🔗 Link
Import/Export: Fixed the automatic export download system (via URL) not working anymore because the export system denies the connection.
Bugfix RT55328 🔗 Link
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 🔗 Link
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 RT55394 🔗 Link
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 RT55239 🔗 Link
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 RT55242 🔗 Link
Folder property dialog now disables the form fields and removes the OK button if you are not allowed to change the folder properties.

Aloha.GCN.openTagFill() would result in an error when trying to open it to edit object tags, this behavior is now fixed.
Bugfix RT55143 🔗 Link
When a language variant of a page was synchronized with another language variant, and that other language variant was deleted afterwards, getting the page with its translation status using the REST API caused a NullPointerException. This has been fixed now.
Gentics Content.Node 5.12.15
Bugfix RT55134 🔗 Link
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 RT55065 🔗 Link
When exporting, export warnings were generated for excluded objects. This is fixed now, export warnings are generated only for non-excluded object types.
Bugfix RT55127 🔗 Link
Fixed possible DB locks during a publish process that caused problems when editing pages. This also fixes possible errors at the start of a publish process (because a lock could not be acquired).
Bugfix RT55211 🔗 Link
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 linkplugin targetRegex setting not correctly working.
Bugfix RT55299 🔗 Link
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 RT55143 🔗 Link
When getting pages from a folder via the REST API with the inSync parameter set, an exception was thrown if pages were synchronized with another page that could no longer be found on the system (i.e. was deleted).
Bugfix RT53937 🔗 Link
Dependent pages were previously not dirted when a tag type was overwritten by an import. The new behaviour is to dirt all dependent pages whenever a tag type is changed.
Bugfix RT54731 🔗 Link
Fixed a minor bug that sometimes caused flag icons not to be shown for start pages set in a folder.
Bugfix RT53746 🔗 Link
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 🔗 Link
When using instant publishing, this possibly caused DB deadlocks while accessing the ContentRepository DB during a publish process. This has been fixed now.
Gentics Content.Node 5.12.14
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!
Bugfix RT55042 🔗 Link
Accessing a page or a folder from the history on the start screen caused an error in the tree if the action was issued directly at the start of a session. This issue has been fixed.

Corrected a previous fix for a NullPointerException in the publish process due to a synchronization problem.
Bugfix RT54509 🔗 Link
Improved permission checks for error log, workflow administration and inbox messages.
Bugfix RT54882 🔗 Link
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.

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 RT54911 🔗 Link
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 🔗 Link
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 🔗 Link
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 RT53175 🔗 Link
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 RT54078 🔗 Link
Fix possible (but rare) NPE while finishing a multithreaded publish process.
Bugfix RT54954 🔗 Link
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 RT54935 🔗 Link
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.
Gentics Content.Node 5.12.12
Bugfix RT54853 🔗 Link
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 RT54602 🔗 Link
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 RT53854 🔗 Link
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 RT54157 🔗 Link
The root folder of a channel was missing the object properties, that are assigned to the master node. Only the object properties that are available to all nodes were possible to use. This has been fixed now. The root folder of a channel will now have the same object properties available as any other folder of the channel (and the master node).
Bugfix RT54794 🔗 Link
Reduced the memory consumption when deleting big folder structures to avoid possible OutOfMemory situations e.g. when deleting nodes that contain many folders.
Bugfix RT54501 🔗 Link
Fixed instant publishing of folders when the folder startpage was set the first time using the page context menu. Before this fix, instant publishing of the folder was only triggered when the startpage was set using the object properties dialog, or when the startpage was changed.
Bugfix RT54491 🔗 Link
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.

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 🔗 Link
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.
Gentics Content.Node 5.12.11
Bugfix RT50917 🔗 Link
The object lists for localizable objects (folders, pages, templates, files and images) in channels have a column Master that should show the name of the node, to which the master object belongs to. This column however showed the name of the node, the displayed object belongs to, which made channel-local and localized objects indistinguishable. This has been fixed now, the Master column will now show the current channel for channel-local objects and the name of the node/channel, where the master object belongs to for localized objects.
Bugfix RT53076 🔗 Link
When a page with page variants is published, the page variants also get new page versions created. Due to a caching error, it sometimes happened, that although a new version was created for the page variants, the next publish process rendered the older version of the page variant. This has been fixed now, so that when a page variants gets a new version created, the cache will always be cleared and that new version will always be published during the next publish run.
Bugfix RT50917 🔗 Link
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 RT54411 🔗 Link
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.

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 🔗 Link
Fixed a bug tied to menu permissions which caused a system error when viewing the languages of a node.
Bugfix RT54264 🔗 Link
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 RT50986 🔗 Link
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.

Bugfix RT54220 🔗 Link
File upload: Fixed the button in the fallback file uploader (JS-uploader) not being clickable in IE 7 and IE 8.
Bugfix RT54526 🔗 Link
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 RT54684 🔗 Link
Fixed possible DB locks during a publish process, when instant publishing and the feature contentfile_auto_offline were used together.
Bugfix RT54591 🔗 Link
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 RT54628 🔗 Link
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 RT54489 🔗 Link
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 RT54220 🔗 Link
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 RT53236 🔗 Link
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.

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 RT53896 🔗 Link
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 RT54386 🔗 Link
GCN JS API: Fixed the page property object “timeManagement” not being writeable. It is now writable, see the GCN JS API page documentation.
Bugfix RT54273 🔗 Link
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 RT52367 🔗 Link
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 RT54320 🔗 Link
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.
Gentics Content.Node 5.12.7
Enhancement RT54143 🔗 Link
A performance issue with the overview part type was resolved. In some cases the part type would render multiple times slower than expected.
Bugfix RT54332 🔗 Link
Added indexes on the folder table to increase performance for multichannelling-enabled systems when looking up tree permissions.
Bugfix RT54164 🔗 Link
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 RT54258 🔗 Link
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 🔗 Link
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 RT54304 🔗 Link
After confirming the folder properties dialog the correct folder will be highlighted in the tree when using Multichannelling.
Bugfix RT51491 🔗 Link
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 RT54269 🔗 Link
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 🔗 Link
Added missing guides documentation for appendBlock() Gentics Aloha Content.Node Intergration Plugin API method.
Bugfix RT53383 🔗 Link
Fixed an incorrect title in the todo tool.
Gentics Content.Node 5.12.6
Bugfix RT54334 🔗 Link
Fixed possible data inconsistencies with scheduler tasks.
Gentics Content.Node 5.12.5
Bugfix RT53910 🔗 Link
Groups of translators in the todo-tool are now sorted alphabetically to match the view in the administration tree.
Bugfix RT52789 🔗 Link
Fixed removing objects that were deleted in the backend from the content repository. When an object is removed during a publish run and the content repository has instant publishing enabled, it could happen, that the object would not be removed from the content repository in the following publish run.
Bugfix RT52846 🔗 Link
Fixed a multithreading problem when rendering multiple page variants containing a tag with a part of type “Table ext“ at the same time. This rare case could happen, when page variants with a “Table ext” part type were republished and multithreaded publishing was enabled. Before this fix, the tables were possible rendered incomplete (some cells were missing).
Bugfix RT54272 🔗 Link
Fixed a bug where a false-positive error message would occur when clicking “OK” in the folder properties dialog of a localized folder in a channel.
Bugfix RT54088 🔗 Link
When scheduler tasks were running longer than the configured wait_timeout of the backend database (defaults to 8 hours), the scheduler lost the connection to the database and could not set the endtime, return value and output of the job. This resulted in incorrect display of the job runs in the scheduler UI. Tasks, that took longer than 8 hours to run were not shown in the UI. This has been fixed now, so that also very long running tasks will be correctly shown in the job run list.
Bugfix RT54077 🔗 Link
Fixed localize() function in GCN JS API, which was broken in a previous release.
Bugfix RT54088 🔗 Link
When using multithreaded publishing, it could happen that some database connections to the backend database were closed, because they were idle for too long (default setting is 8 hours). This could happen, if many pages were published into content repositories and writing the pages into the content repository took very long (actually more than 8 hours longer than rendering all the pages). This has been fixed now: All open database connections to the backend will regularly (every hour) be kept alive by issuing a dummy statement.
Bugfix 🔗 Link
A javascript error within the scheduler task view was fixed. In some cases a javascript error occured when the user triggered the delete action for a scheduler task. The error only occured for tasks that were used by other tasks.
Bugfix RT54315 🔗 Link
Fixed an issue with scrollbars being hidden in IFrames in Firefox 20.
Bugfix RT54137 🔗 Link
When a page is published and an error occurs while writing the page into the content repository (instant publishing), the user will now see an appropriate message.
Bugfix RT54088 🔗 Link
The display of remaining pages on the start screen did not change when multithreaded publishing was used. This has been fixed now.
Bugfix RT54258 🔗 Link
Fixed reloading the tree too often, when opening the preview of pages in the backend.
Gentics Content.Node 5.12.4
Bugfix RT54173 🔗 Link
A bug was fixed that caused errors when editing image-URLs in tagtypes, if no node was previously selected.
Bugfix 🔗 Link
Fixed JavaScript error “Cannot read property ‘tagname‘ of undefined gcnjsapi.js:5905” that occured when saving a page after creating a new link.
Bugfix RT53984 🔗 Link
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 🔗 Link
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 RT54207 🔗 Link
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.
Gentics Content.Node 5.12.3
Bugfix RT54125 🔗 Link
Added an automatic reset of old (and no longer necessary) FTP node settings that have been leftover from older systems (those that have been updated from a version prior to Gentics Content.Node 5.4.0).
Bugfix RT53835 🔗 Link
GCN JS API, TagAPI.removeTag(): Fixed the callbacks not getting called correctly. Also fixed the documentation. You can only pass the keyword of a tag in here, not an Id.
Bugfix RT54117 🔗 Link
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 RT54130 🔗 Link
Fixed possible DB Lock Timeout when using instant publishing and an object was published during a long running publish process.
Gentics Content.Node 5.12.2
Bugfix RT53935 🔗 Link
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 RT54003 🔗 Link
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 🔗 Link
A caching-issue was fixed that prevented custom sort orders for overview-tags to be updated correctly.
Bugfix RT53921 🔗 Link
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 RT53746 🔗 Link
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 RT54011 🔗 Link
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 RT53943 🔗 Link
Node list: Fixed the creator and the last editor of a node not being shown in the black tooltip.
Bugfix 🔗 Link
This fix solves a temporary issue in the image-manipulation-plugin, which made it impossible to save changes to the image.
Gentics Content.Node 5.12.1
Bugfix RT53460 🔗 Link
Fixed a problem with tags being sometimes duplicated when viewing template sourcecode.
Bugfix 🔗 Link
Fixed a SQL statement of the update process, which possibly failed.
Bugfix RT53850 🔗 Link
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.
Bugfix RM6321 🔗 Link
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 RT52133 🔗 Link
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.
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.
🔗 LinkManual Change
The Gentics Update site was changed with this update in order to provide the new Feature Releases.
🔗 LinkThe 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 RM6756 🔗 Link
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 RM4207 🔗 Link
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 RM6734 🔗 Link
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 RM6727 🔗 Link
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 RM6214 🔗 Link
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 🔗 Link
A possible SQL Error was fixed within the publish process.
Enhancement RM5973 🔗 Link
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 RT53254 🔗 Link
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.
Enhancement 🔗 Link
A possible bottleneck in the internal communication between PHP and Java was removed.
Enhancement 🔗 Link
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 🔗 Link
The Gentics Content.Node Autoupdate Scheduler Task was deprecated.
Enhancement RT53014 🔗 Link
Added ‘pageStatus‘ attribute to page objects requested via the REST API.
Bugfix RT53265 🔗 Link
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 RT53199 🔗 Link
A small error in the todo-tool was fixed that occurred during mouse-over of lists because of missing tooltip functionality.
Bugfix RT53018 🔗 Link
Fixed a possible NullPointerException when using Multithreaded Publishing into ContentRepositories.
Bugfix RT47489 🔗 Link
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 RT53391 🔗 Link
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 RT52849 🔗 Link
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 RT53375 🔗 Link
Media archive image import: Fixed SGB occuring after selecting an image in the media archive and returning to the tagfill dialog.
Bugfix RT52692 🔗 Link
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 RT52759 🔗 Link
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 🔗 Link
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 RM7332 🔗 Link
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 RT53706 🔗 Link
Avoid checking and generation of global IDs for tables, that contain data, that is not exported. Especially checking for global IDs of table perm could take very long and could possibly interfer with normal CMS operations for some time after the Tomcat is restarted.
Bugfix RT53635 🔗 Link
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 RT53596 🔗 Link
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 RT53758 🔗 Link
Publishing pages in channels into the filesystem did not work correctly, when multithreaded publishing was used. This has been fixed now.
Bugfix RT53378 🔗 Link
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 RT52865 🔗 Link
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 RT53383 🔗 Link
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 🔗 Link
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 RT53477 🔗 Link
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 RT53046 🔗 Link
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 RT53506 🔗 Link
When comparing the current page version with the last published version, the comparison now falls back to a previously published version if the current version is unchanged since it was last published, so that the page is not compared to itself.
Bugfix RT53474 🔗 Link
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.
Gentics Content.Node 5.11.5
Bugfix RT53183 🔗 Link
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 🔗 Link
Added missing i18n translations for ‘Keyword‘ property when editing Tagtype properties.
Bugfix RT52634 🔗 Link
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 RT53148 🔗 Link
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 🔗 Link
A possible NPE was fixed that could occur while rendering overviews over pages.
Gentics Content.Node 5.11.3
Bugfix 🔗 Link
Fixed possible NPE, that lead to empty rendered overviews over pages, when multichannelling is not activated.
Gentics Content.Node 5.11.2
Bugfix RT53018 🔗 Link
Fixed a possible NullPointerException when using Multithreaded Publishing into ContentRepositories.
Bugfix 🔗 Link
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
🔗 LinkThe 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 🔗 Link
Refactored the global JavaScript object named GCN to GCNREST in tagfill and object tag dialogs. This internal object would provide the Repository Browser with access to the REST backend services,creating a naming conflict with the GCN JS API. The GCN JS API may now be used in tagfill andobject property dialogs using a custom form tag, as the naming conflict is resolved with this change.
Enhancement RT52864 🔗 Link
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 🔗 Link
Added method /CNPortletapp/rest/auth/ssologin as alternative to /CNPortletapp/rest/auth/login, so that the SSO filters can be mapped to /CNPortletapp/rest/auth/ssologinand login by posting user credentials to /CNPortletapp/rest/auth/login is still possible.
Bugfix RT52830 🔗 Link
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 🔗 Link
The edit() method within the Gentics Content.Node JavaScript API was fixed to correctly render tags onto elements when a class name isspecified as the selector rather than an id. Previously the edit() method would not work when a css selector was used to select the dom element that should be edited.
Bugfix RT52987 🔗 Link
Ensure that content tags are created for external links as well as internal links.
Bugfix RT52776 🔗 Link
Fixed an error that occurred when uploading files with special characters in the filename.
Bugfix RT52634 🔗 Link
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 RT52759 🔗 Link
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 RT52573 🔗 Link
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 RT52751 🔗 Link
Fixed rendering order of pages in page overviews, where the pages are selected and sorted manually.
Bugfix RT51911 🔗 Link
Added missing german translation for “add elements” when selecting objects in a overview tag
Bugfix RT52746 🔗 Link
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 🔗 Link
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 logoutpage was only shown in the current frame. After the fix, logout-pages are always displayed in the whole page.
Bugfix RT52516 🔗 Link
Fixed confirmation-alerts in the context-menu to be displayed for critical actions like delete or publish, and omitted otherwise.
Bugfix RT52876 🔗 Link
Fixed user/profile form stating that the description must be not empty in the tooltip.
Bugfix RT50625 🔗 Link
Under certain preconditions, fields of page properties stayed empty. This has been fixed now.
Bugfix RT51051 🔗 Link
When viewing the tooltip for the tagtype-part URL, two overlapping tooltips were sometimes shown. Furthermore, when more than one parts with the type URL were present, only the first showed a tooltip. This has been corrected, and only one tooltip is shown at any time.
Bugfix RT52259 RT52605 🔗 Link
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 RT52290 RT52043 🔗 Link
Fixed dirting of dependent objects when the filename of a file or image was changed using the backend properties dialog.
Bugfix RT52762 🔗 Link
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 RT51642 🔗 Link
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 RT52712 RT52660 🔗 Link
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 RT52964 🔗 Link
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.
Gentics Content.Node 5.11.0
Enhancement RT52344 🔗 Link
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 🔗 Link
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 🔗 Link
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 🔗 Link
An additional column was added to the page publish queue. The node name will now be listed within the publish queue.
Enhancement RT51974 🔗 Link
When a user did not have create permission for pages in any of his groups, but had the create permission for all languages in at least one of his roles, copying pages failedwith a SGB. This is fixed now, so that the user will now be able to copy pages.
Enhancement RT52622 🔗 Link
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 🔗 Link
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 RT51756 🔗 Link
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.
Bugfix RT52396 🔗 Link
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 RT52202 🔗 Link
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 RT52715 🔗 Link
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 RT52191 🔗 Link
Using publish handlers together with instant publishing did not work as expected: When triggering instant publishing (by publishing a page or creating/editing an image, file or folder) beforea regular publish run, the publish handlers were not triggered.Additionally, the destroy() method of the publish handler was called for every transaction commit (for every published object), and not only when the publish handler was taken out of service (as intended).The lifecycle of publish handler instances has been modified, in a way that instances of publish handlers will now stay in service until either the server is shut down, or the publish handler entry is eitherchanged or removed.
Bugfix RT52405 🔗 Link
Fixed pasting with LiveEditor to avoid JavaScript error, and to insert content into the editor when performing Rechtsklick > “Einfgen (ohne Formatierungen)”.
Bugfix RT52597 🔗 Link
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 RT52572 🔗 Link
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 RT51972 🔗 Link
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 RM5993 🔗 Link
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.

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

Gentics Content.Node 5.6.1
The tags ‘p‘ and ‘h1‘ – ‘h6‘ are now recognized as valid root elements of tagtypes.When using tagtypes with such root elements before, the tags where wrapped into a ‘div‘ tag, which no longer will happen after this change.
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.

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-schema policymap.xsd /Node/etc/policy-map.custom.xml
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.

A Javascript error within the scheduler task creation dialog was fixed.
Bugfix 🔗 Link
Fixed deleting of folders during a differential page import: If deleting a folder takes long (because it contains a lot of subobjects), the deletion is not sent to the background, which caused strange behaviour in the page import (e.g. that the folders could not be deleted).

Gentics Content.Node 5.5.4
Previously loading of some plugins was omitted when the generated php array of the node.conf CUSTOM_ALOHA_PLUGINS array already contained entries that were included in the ALOHA_PLUGINS_GLOBAL. It is now no longer needed to touch the ALOHA_PLUGINS_GLOBAL variable. The array_unique and array_merge invocation can now be omitted.

Fixed display of pages that have language variants in nodes that have no languages, when multichannelling is used. Instead of showing all language variants as separate pages, only one language variant is shown (like when no multichannelling is used).
Bugfix 🔗 Link
When multiple pages are published in a single action, they will not be written into the contentrepositories, even if instant publishing is activated. This will avoid possible browser timeouts, when writing many pagesinto their contentrepositories takes a long time. Only if a single page is published, instant publishing will be done (if activated).
Bugfix 🔗 Link
Fixed the table plugin in live editor not taking the resized width & height of tables into account when editing a table again.
Bugfix 🔗 Link

Fixed the failure handling when editing Pages with Aloha Editor. If an AJAX Request get‘s an error, the default error handling will show a message to the user now.
Bugfix 🔗 Link
The construct load method will now return an ordered set of construct categories and constructs. Previously those entries were not ordered. Constructs (Tagtypes) will be ordered alphabetically and construct categories will be ordered by the specified sortorder. Additionally this method will now only return constructs that can be inserted into other tags. Please use the list method if you want to list all tagtypes/constructs. Please note that the functionality of the load method will be moved into the list method at some time in the future.

Bugfix 🔗 Link
Fixed resolving problem when rendering nested velocity tags in a special way: When e.g. resolving $cms.folder.startpage.url.tags.[tagname] in a Velocity Tag of a page, where the folder startpageresolves to another page, the resolved tag [tagname] was rendered in the scope of the first page, not of the page really containing the tag. As a result, resolving of $cms.page in the tag [tagname]returned the outer page, not the page containing the tag [tagname], like expected.
Bugfix 🔗 Link
Fixed instant publishing in connection with multichannelling. When instant publishing was activated for the ContentRepository of a master node and an object was published in a channel, the object was instantly published into the master node‘s ContentRepository.Additionally, there are two new maintenance actions in the list of ContentRepositories to check CR‘s for incorrectly published data and to remove this data.
Bugfix 🔗 Link
Fixed the datasource usage overview listing sometimes not showing results when a filter was set in the main datasource list.It now doesn‘t use that filter anymore and shows all results in the usage list.
Bugfix 🔗 Link
The tree will now be updated correctly when switching pages using quickjump.
Bugfix 🔗 Link
Fixed file opening behaviour for non-image filetypes. Previously videos and other non-image filetypes were automatically opened in external programs. Those files could not be loaded in external programms since the session cookie is not beeing shared between the browser and the external programs. Non-image files will now be downloaded by the browser. They can be used by external programs once the download is completed.
Bugfix 🔗 Link
Split translation view will now have appropriate window size in Internet Explorer
Bugfix 🔗 Link
When a page is modified and then placed into the publish queue without explicitly clicking 'save' first no new page version was created. When the page was finally published by another user, a page version was created, but incorrectly assigned to the publishing user, not the editor. This behaviour has been fixed now. Placing a page in the publish queue will now always create a new page version, if necessary.
Bugfix 🔗 Link
Fixed Inbox Messages for pages sent to the publish queue, where the page link was missing for pages with IDs greater than 999.
Bugfix 🔗 Link
Fixed redirecting requests to /CNPortletapp/latest/alohaeditor… to URLs containing the timestamp of the latest Aloha Editor Build to support probably existing proxyprefix, that is used when accessing Aloha Editor via a ProxyServlet for use in frontend editing.Since frontend editing only works, if the new Feature “redirect_check_referer” is turned on, this feature is now activated by default.
Bugfix 🔗 Link
When using the Channel Synchronization to push objects into a master node, check for objects that are contained in folders that do not exist in the master (local folders in the channel). Those objects are no longer pushedto the master, but the user is informed about the inability to push them.
Bugfix 🔗 Link
Fixed clearing caches when deleting tagtypes that were used in pages, templates or object properties.
Bugfix 🔗 Link
This update will start a background job (when the tomcat is started), that fixes the page versions (where possible) to be compatible with versioned publishing.It may, however, occur that pages that have not been modified for a very long time do not provide enough data to fix the page version accordingly. For those pages, re-publishing willstill behave like before the feature “versioned publishing” until they are manually republished once.
Bugfix 🔗 Link
Fixed rendering of page URLs when rendering pages in edit or preview mode. Links to CSS or JS pages will always be for the live preview. Otherwise, when rendering in real preview or real edit mode, the links will go to real preview. When rendering preview or edit mode (with or without Aloha Editor), the links will go to preview mode.This fixes problems with the main menu, when following a link to another page (main menu was not working any more).
Bugfix 🔗 Link
Fixed uploading files via the gcnfileupload Plugin in Aloha Editor, via the PHP uploader or via WebDAV in local channel folders. The uploaded files will now always belong to the correct channel.
Bugfix 🔗 Link
Fixed incorrect assignment of folders to channels, when pushing localized/local folders from a channel to a higher channel (which is not the master node). As a result, it was e.g. impossible to set a startpage of such folders.This fix includes repairing of the incorrect data in the database.
Gentics Content.Node 5.5.3
Manual Change
When using Aloha Editor the AlohaRenderer will now also accept span-tags as valid root-tags
🔗 LinkPrior to this change span-tags where not considered to be valid root tags thus the tags contents where automatically wrapped in a div. If you rely on this functionality this might now result in multiple tags being listed on the same line and lead to overlapping tag icons. Add wrapping div-tag to your tag implementationsto solve this issue.
Enhancement 🔗 Link
Enhanced the conflict message in the import when an object was excluded in the export and could not be foundon the target system. It now includes the globalid of the object.
Enhancement 🔗 Link
Changed the single file uploader (and the file properties) to not print an error anymore when the filename length exceeds the limit of 64 characters.The filename will be cut automatically now. Also over-worked the character handling to be consistent with the character handling of the Rest-API file uploader (see the GCN 5.4.19 changelog).
Enhancement 🔗 Link
The tag insert buttons within the gcn plugin can now be configured per editable. A whitelist configuration is used to show/hide specific tag insert options. The whitelist uses the tagtype keyword to filter the buttons/menu.
Example: $ALOHA_SETTINGS_NODE[1]['plugins']['gcn']['config'] = array("tagtypeWhitelist" => array("link", "wikilink", "formspace", "htmllang", "myuncategorizedtagtype")); $ALOHA_SETTINGS_NODE[1]['plugins']['gcn']['editables'] = array( "#customEditableId" => array("tagtypeWhitelist" => array("myuncategorizedtagtype")), ".header" => array("tagtypeWhitelist" => array("link", "seitentag", "download", "upload")), "#GENTICS_METAEDITABLE_page_name" => array("tagtypeWhitelist" => array("fileurl", "breadcrumb", "lswitch")) );
Enhancement 🔗 Link
Set the feature force_javaparser_post to true in node.conf.This features forces PHP-requests to the javaparser to be sent as POST because there can beproblems (for example really long custom form tagtype part templates not being rendered) when this is not enabled.
Enhancement 🔗 Link
Added functional description for the Gentics Content.Node Integration Plugin.
Enhancement 🔗 Link
The Media Library Integration ($FEATURE[‘file_fetch‘]) has been enhanced: By setting $FILE_FETCH_EVAL = true; it is now possible to add dynamic part specific data to the FILE_FETCH_URL, like e.g. $FILE_FETCH_URL=“http://mediaserver/medialibrary.php?postback=“.urlencode($FILE_FETCH_POSTBACK_URL).“&keyword={\$part[‘keyword‘]}”;
Bugfix 🔗 Link
Fixed Media Library Integration in the Tagfill dialog, when more than one Image URL Part exists.
Bugfix 🔗 Link
Fixed exporting of channels with local templates that are only assigned to inherited folders. Such export bundles could not be imported, because there was always a conflict “Object does not have a target folder”.
Bugfix 🔗 Link
Re-added the user and date, when a page was locked to the list of pages, when multichannlling is used.
Bugfix 🔗 Link
The performance of getting the list of constructs has been improved if a large number of constructs exist in the system.

Bugfix 🔗 Link
Fixed a but in Multichannelling, that caused data inconsistencies for folders, when they were created in localized folders and pushed into master folders.As a result of this data inconsistency, affected folders were no longer shown in the tree. This bugfix also repairs the data inconsistencies and will make the folders reappear.
Bugfix 🔗 Link
Fixed cancelling a running export: During a long running calculation of dependencies, cancelling the export process did not work reliably. This has been fixed now, so that cancelling a long running export is possible at any time without much delay.
Bugfix 🔗 Link
Fixed creation of unnecessary big statements during processing of dependencies that could possibly generate high load on the db server.
Bugfix 🔗 Link
Fixed importing of local channel pages that use an inherited template that is not present on the target system. This will be detected as conflict now.
Bugfix 🔗 Link
Fixed exporting of constructs in channels: The constructs were incorrectly assigned to the channels, not the master nodes. This caused permission checking problems, after the construct was imported into another system. This fix also corrects the incorrectly set assignements.
Bugfix 🔗 Link
Fixed exporting of the “inline editable“ flag of construct parts, which always was exported as “false”.
Bugfix 🔗 Link
Fixed importing of localized language variants, which were incorrectly always detected as conflict (conflicting with their master).
Bugfix 🔗 Link
Fixed permission check for WebDAV: The command “Open” (for opening a folder in WebDAV) will only be shown for folders, where the user has permission to view, create, update and delete pages/files/images. This also fixes SGBs when users with insufficient permissions could open the folder in WebDAV.
Bugfix 🔗 Link

Gentics Content.Node 5.5.2
Enhancement 🔗 Link
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”.

$MULTILEVEL_PUB_WORKFLOW[nodeId] = true;in the /Node/etc/node.conf for all nodes.
The ‘hardlink_files‘ feature only works on 64-bit systems when the correct libgtx_fileutils library is enabled. We have noticed that some systems have this feature activated but the wrong library is enabled. Please check your ‘libgtx_fileutils‘ file within ‘/Node/lib‘. Enabling the 64-bit library will increase the publishing performance and reduce load on most systems. Please note that enabling hardlinks may result in changed permissions of files that are being created within the /Node/node/content/publish/pub directory.

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.
These changes apply even when the versioned publishing feature is turnedoff.

The previous behaviour during a page import filled either a visible or editable part of an imported tag with the element contents. When thefeature cn_page_import_fill_editable_part was true, an editable part wasfilled. Otherwise a visible part was filled.This behaviour was contrary to the documentation, which states that the part with keyword “cn_value“ is filled with the element contents.The behaviour was fixed, so that “cn_value“ will be filled, if it exists. If no such part exists, the import will fall-back to the old behaviour.All tag-types that are used with the page-import must be checked for compatibility with the new behaviour. It must be ensured that, if there is a part with keyword “cn_value” in a tag-type, that it really is thepart that should be filled during page-import, and not one of the other editable or visible parts.
Please use scheduler tasks instead.Here is an example task template that will sync a Node and the GenticsImageStore folder for that node:u "%user%,%password%" e "mirror R L e /Node/node/content/publish/pub/%ordner.node.host%%ordner.node.pub_dir% ./%wwwRoot%%ordner.node.pub_dir%;mirror R L e /Node/node/content/publish/pub/%ordner.node.host%/GenticsImageStore ./%wwwRoot%/GenticsImageStore;exit" %targetHost% 2>&1

Fixed: inconsistency in value table
Deleting a tag-part by importing a tag-type, or restoring a page version, possibly resulted in an inconsistency in the value table.

Introduced new versioned publishing feature which will change the publishing behavior.
Before this feature was introduced the publish process would render the current version of a a page not the last published one. Example:There are two pages, a simple content page (A) and an overview page (B). The overview page contains an overview, page url, page tag or any thing else that references to the simple content page. An editor changes page (A) and will therefore modify its contents and change the current version of that page. A publisher now publishes page (B). When publishing page (B) the modified contents of page (A) will be used for rendering. This undesired behaviour could lead to unpublished content or dead links.The versioned publishing feature corrects this behaviour. Now always the last published version will be used for rendering the page.Example:Now the last published version will be used instead of the current modified contents of page (A).
The new publishing behavior will only affect pages that have been published at least one time after the feature has been enabled. The page version information has to be created before it can be used. The feature is enabled by default.

Allows a custom definition of the HTML doctype that appears in the application generated HTML.
The application generated HTML wraps the HTML defined in the user-defined implementation of content pages. The application generated HTML wrapper has a doctype.Due to this circumstance, when a HTML5 doctype is defined for the user-defined implementation of a content page, the page may not display properly. As a workaround, the doctype for the application generated HTML may be configured in the node.conf configuration file in the following manner the doctype string should be equal to the one used in contentpages: $CUSTOM_NODE_HTML_DOCTYPE = '';
Please note that this will define the doctype of the wrapper-html, for all content-pages in the system, regardless of which node they belong to.
Changing the doctype might break the system or bring other problems. You might not be able to log in after changing the doctype. We do not advise to use this feature – only use this as a last resort.
Enhancement 🔗 Link
Introduced new translation workflow feature. This feature enables the editor of pages to manage the translation tasks. A editor can for example synchronize a page. This mean the editor accepts the translation job and marks the page therefore as synchronized. A overview is provided to review the current state of all translation tasks.
Bugfix 🔗 Link
Fixed SQL validation error that occurred when the execution-list for a task was sorted by duration.
Bugfix 🔗 Link
Fixed customform_resolve_nodetags feature in the tag-fill dialogue of tag-types and templates.
Resolving node tags in custom-forms only worked in the tag-fill dialogue of content tags (pages). For template tags (templates) or tag-types, the entire custom-form was rendered as the empty string if the customform_resolve_nodetags feature was activated.Now, if the custom-form is rendered as part of the tag-fill dialogue for template tags or tag-types, all will resolve to the empty string. Special custom-form tags (e.g.

Fixed possible deadlocks when publishing into contentrepositories that use Instant Publishing.
Bugfix 🔗 Link
When the GCNAuthenticationManager was configured as a secondary authentication system, it retried unsuccessful logins to the GCN backend on every request.
Logins to the GCN backend are unsuccessful if the user authenticated with the primary authentication system doesn't have a GCN account (e.g. read-only privileges for the content in the portal, but no editing privileges in the GCN backend). Another reason may be that the GCN backend may be temporarily unavailable.
Retrying unsuccessful logins may cause performance problems if there are many users that can be authenticated with the primary authentication system but can't be authenticated with the GCNAuthentication manager each request by the user (browser) would cause an additional internal authentication request.
A configurable interval parameter “backendLoginRetryInterval” has been added to the GCNAuthenticationManager configuration, which specifies how many seconds to wait before a failed backend login request is retried.
Bugfix 🔗 Link
Fixed performance problems with too many failing backend logins.
Bugfix 🔗 Link
Fixed itemlist problems and adds more itemlist configuration options.Fixed: when the width of an itemlist was greater than the window size, the last column was not displayed.

Bugfix 🔗 Link
Fixed copying pages with syncinfo: The copy will have analogous sync information set.
Bugfix 🔗 Link
Fixed incorrect values displayed in tag-fill dialog.
For multiple "Tag (Page)" parts, incorrect values were sometimes displayed in the tag-fill dialog, from the second part onwards. The values that were displayed were a concatenation of the values of all previous parts. Due to the limited size of the input-box that displays a value, this made it appeart as if all parts had the same value (the first value the subsequent values being cutoff).
This bug affected how the value was displayed in the tag-fill dialog, but did not affect how the value was stored in the database.
Bugfix 🔗 Link
Fixed assign-for-revision displays login-page.
The do-number for the assign-for-revision action was incorrectly specified.
There seems to be a certain range for do-numbers of a specific module.
Bugfix 🔗 Link
Fixed an erroneously reports of insufficient permissions when trying to delete pages.
When a Node had no languages assigned, and a user had the delete permission on only some, but not all folders, and the user tried to delete a page on which he had permissions, he was incorrectly informed that he didn‘t have any permissions.
Bugfix 🔗 Link
Fixed language management: It is no longer possible to delete page languages, if pages with that language exist.
Bugfix 🔗 Link
Fixed inability to assign view permissions on “View permissions” tree-item.
The feature "view_perms" allows all users to see the permissions of other groups, if they have view permissions on the "View permissions" tree-item.
However, assigning view permissions on the “View permissions“ tree-item was not possible, and as such, only the “node” user was in a position to see this tree-item.
Gentics Content.Node 5.1.6

Gentics Content.Node 5.1.3
Please perform this step before performing the update of Gentics Content.Node. This change can be omitted it the installation already uses JDK 1.6.0_14. Examine the symlink /Node/java to check which jdk version is currently in use.Version 1.6.0_01 became incompatible with Gentics Content Node due tothe JAXB Library version bundled with the JDK. To update the JDK version to 1.6.0_14, please download theupdate script and execute it as a shell script. The script will ask for the Node folder (defaults to “/Node”) andwhether to use the 64bit version of the JDK (the default will be autodetected).

Bugfix 🔗 Link
Fixed rendering of pages that render information of other pages (like overviews, links to other pages, page-tags, ...): If the other page was modified but not yet published, the first page would publish the current data, but not the published data of the other page.
