Changes with Gentics Content.Node 5.14.0


Manual Change

Java 7 Update

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


Manual Change

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

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


Optional Manual Change

MySQL 5.5 / 5.6 Update

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


Feature RM7461

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


Feature RM5949

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


Enhancement RT55744

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


Enhancement RT55296

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


Enhancement RT54655

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


Enhancement RT55183

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


Enhancement RT56044

Page translation has been improved with multichannelling functionalities. If an inherited or a localized page is translated and the corresponding language variant does not yet exist in the master node, this page is created there and taken offline, linking the versions to each other while basing the translated page‘s content on that of the localized version. This enhancement is applied to all translation actions (direct REST call, Edit in, Translate to, Quick Recursive Translation).


Enhancement RT56224

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


Enhancement RT54655

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


Enhancement RM9880

The common/autoparagraph plugin was added to the list of default plugin. Please take a look at the aloha editor plugin documentation to learn more about the autoparagraph plugin.


Enhancement RT53174

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


Bugfix RM7588

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