Changes with Gentics Content.Node 5.23.0

Date: 05.04.2016


When applying this update, the packaged Tomcat will be updated to version 7.0.68 which contains important security and bug fixes. You can delete the old Tomcat directory (/Node/apache-tomcat-7.0.*) after updating.


Enhancement

The Activiti Integration Feature can now react to certain “CMS events” like saving, deleting or moving objects and publishing pages. Please refer to the Activiti configuration documentation for further details.


Enhancement

The REST API has been extended:
New REST endpoints The following endpoints will return a list of localized copies together with their channel IDs for the respective object types:

  • /file/localizations/{id}
  • /folder/localizations/{id}
  • /image/localizations/{id}
  • /page/localizations/{id}

If the feature activiti_integration is activated, two new endpoints are available:

  • /activiti/processqueue returns a list of processes due to be triggered
  • /activiti/status returns status information about the connected activiti server

Enhanced REST endpoint The endpoint /folder/breadcrumb{id} now accepts an optional query parameter tags. If this parameter is true each folder in the breadcrumb list will also contain information about the tags associated with the folder.


Enhancement SUP-37

The package contained some default users, which are normally not used. They have been removed from the package now. When updating, those users will also be deactivated, if they never have been used.


Enhancement

Added a new script called “setup-database.php”, that allows you to import the SQL structure needed for the CMS setup. Read the installation documentation for more details.


Enhancement SUP-2320

With setting the new JVM parameter com.gentics.contentnode.exitonstartuperror to true the startup behaviour of the Tomcat can be changed:
If the CMS Webapp fails to start and the JVM parameter is set, the Tomcat will be terminated. The default behaviour is such that the Tomcat will be started, even if the CMS Webapp cannot be started.


Enhancement

A new Velocity directive #gtx_channel has been added, which allows to render velocity code in the scope of another channel. Please read the Guides for more information.


Enhancement

The new Part Type “Node” allows selection of a Node.


Bugfix SUP-1632

Installation Package: Correctly install and enable nodectl service.


Bugfix

The REST endpoints /node/create and /node/save/{id} ignored the languagesId field. This has been fixed.


Bugfix

The presence of certain query parameters for the REST endpoint /user/list could cause the request to fail. This has been fixed.
