Manual Change (when updating from 5.0.0 or older)
If you attempt to update from Gentics Content.Node 5.0.0 or older, a special patch needs to be applied. Extract the patch file which can be downloaded (gcn5_update_patch.tgz) in /Node/.node:
cd /Node/.node wget [URL_TO_gcn5_update_patch.tgz] tar xzf gcn5_update_patch.tgz // ! Delete file or change permissions otherwise the replacement of .node can't be executed by the auto update ! rm gcn5_update_patch.tgz
If you attempt to update without the patch, Gentics Content.Node won’t recognize the latest update file as a valid update package and the update process will fail.
Manual Change The PHP APC cache module must be enabled. Append the following settings to the /Node/etc/php/php.ini file.
[APC] extension=apc.so apc.enabled=1 apc.shm_size=128M apc.ttl=7200 apc.user_ttl=7200 apc.max_file_size=16M
Afterwards, please restart Apache as root: /Node/bin/nodectl restart apache

Enhancement
Performance Improvement: parttypes are now cached, thus increasing render performance
Enhancement
