Gentics Content.Node Changelogs

---

Important: 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.

Security KB1662

The password hashing of GCN users has been changed to use bcrypt for hashing. When applying this update, all stored passwords will be re-hashed with bcrypt immediately. As the old hashing algorithm is considered as weak by encryption experts, it‘s recommended to apply this update.
