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.
Link to this entryThis 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.

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.

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. If a tag contained javascript the code wasn‘t executed again after opening and closing the tagfill. This bug was introduced with bugfix SUP-3724 in version 5.23.28 and has been fixed. Objects containing nested object tags were exported and imported in way which could subsequently cause errors when loading those objects via the REST API. This has been fixed now. Optional Manual Change The implementation of the gtxalohapagelink tag has been updated to prevent errors when saving a page. In Detail: The variable “$parts.fileurl.target.id” was used without checking if it was empty. This caused an erroneous rendering when the tag linked to a file that has been deleted preventing users to save a page after editing. When publishing files into a ContentRepository, errors like Copying a localized copy of a file always produced an error message. This has been fixed now. When a localized copy of a file is copied, the copy will be created in the same channel now. 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. 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 a tag in a page is filled with the tagfill dialog, and a part of type Applying object properties of folders to subfolders did not work for channel local or localized folders and has been fixed now. Various documentation issues were fixed. The Part Types documentation has been updated. 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. 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 When publishing multiple nodes (with their channels) into the same Multichannelling aware ContentRepository, the ContentRepository Maintenance action Fixed taking offline a page in the old UI not being completed via the Rest API. The Activiti trigger “onPageTakeOffline” didn‘t work because of this. When applying this update, the packaged Tomcat will be updated to version 7.0.73 which contains important security and bug fixes. You can delete old Tomcat directories after updating. Support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.3 was added to Gentics CMS 5.25.0 – The RHEL Installation Guide has been updated. The nodeId query parameter of the page resource search endpoint is no longer mandatory. It can now be specified in order to speed up or limit the search to a specific channel. Fixed an SGB error when viewing a page in live preview mode in the new UI. Optional Manual Change The maximum number of clients used by the Apache Web Server for the CMS backend must not exceed 200, since this is the default value of maximum connections Tomcat will accept. Support for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server was added to Gentics CMS 5.25.0 – The SLES Installation Guide has been updated. The backup guide has been updated. Showing the tag status failed with an SGB for templates that contain tags with special characters (like The script When the feature Link anchors were removed from external links when saving a page if the Aloha Link Tagtype is missing the “anchor“ part or if the link plugin setting “anchorLinks” is set to false. This bug has been introduced with Gentics CMS 5.22.0. This has been fixed and the documentation for the Aloha Link Tagtype implementation has been updated to address link anchors. Two issues with the feature When uploading new files over the UI or the Rest API, it‘s possible now to overwrite existing files in the same folder that have the same file name. The new REST endpoint
