Gentics Content.Node Changelog

Gentics Content.Node 5.15.50

Bugfix RT58302

Moving folder structures between channels did not work as expected. Objects contained in the moved folder structure possibly were not moved between the channels. This could result in inconsistent data, where inherited objects were located in local folders. This has been fixed now. Additionally, some additional checks for possible naming conflicts will be done, when moving folder structures between nodes. When moving large folder structures takes longer than some seconds, the move operation will now be continued in the background. The user will get a notification (via instant message), when the folder structure has been moved.

Bugfix RT58592

Fixed a bug in the import system with folders that got moved to another node. When a folder that is in the import file, already exists on the target system, but has been moved to another node on the source system, the node information for some folders would be inconsistent in the database in some cases. This caused some folders to not show up anymore in the tree because their parent folder couldn‘t be opened anymore. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT58663

The version of the library commons-dbcp has been updated from 1.2.1 to 1.2.2 which includes a fix for https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DBCP-64. This bug caused database connections to content repositories, that were fetched from the pool and died (e.g. because the server was not reachable any more) not being returned into the pool. This subsequently caused the pool to exhaust and the publish process to fail, until the tomcat was restarted.

Bugfix RT58544

When editing a page with Aloha Editor in Internet Explorer (up to version 10 or in IE7 Mode), saving the page by clicking “Save” in the main menu, the user got a warning about leaving the page with unsaved changes. This has been fixed now, saving the page from the main menu will now work without the additional warning.

Bugfix RT58676

When creating a folder, the role permissions were not inherited from the parent folder. This has been fixed.

Bugfix RT58649

GenticsImagestore: Resizing failed sometimes when resizing an image without a proper file name extension. This has been fixed.

Gentics Content.Node 5.15.49

Enhancement RT58648

Replaced logos in Gentics Content.Node to fit to the new Gentics CD.

Bugfix RT58610

When a custom context path is configured like documented in the Guides, the thumbnails of images in the minibrowser were not rendered, because the URLs were wrong. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT58685

Page tags: Removed message in the tooltip stating that the tag is not editable in the page, even though it is editable.

Bugfix RT58687

Rest API: Fixed MySQL deadlock problem that can happen when calling methods in PermResource that change object permissions parallelly (eg.: in threads).

Gentics Content.Node 5.15.48

Bugfix RT58659

Changes to group memberships didn‘t update cached user objects, so the changes wouldn‘t show up in the user/me REST-call. This has been fixed.

Bugfix RT58575

In some cases a jmage.log file would be created in the root directory of the java process. A bugfix has been applied to the jmage library in order to prevent such files from being created.

Bugfix RT58657

Under some circumstances a defective object (e.g. a folder) would be stored in the cache which would prevent it from being listed or otherwise found in the context of multichannelling.

Bugfix RT58620

In rare cases, importing a new template could fail with an “Internal error”, because the folder, where the template was originally created did not exist any more. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix KB2086

The handling of datasource part types (single selection, multiselect, ...) during export and import has been improved to correctly preserve the selection in tags even in rare situations, where the internal id of datasource entries might be different between the source and target system.
It is important to note, that for the improved behaviour both the source and target system must be updated.

Bugfix RT58556

In some implementations, when editing a page in a channel with frontend editing, an SGB could occur when opening the tagfill dialog, if the user had edit permissions restricted to that channel due to incorrect checking of permissions. This has been fixed now, the edit permissions in the tagfill dialog will now always be checked for the page‘s channel.

Bugfix RT58538

When a page contains an image and the user has no page/image/file viewing permissions but only permissions for viewing the folder of the image, the user was not shown any useful error message. Instead the admin got an error log message. Now the user gets an error message indicating that he has no page/image/file viewing permissions in the folder of the image in the page, so that he can contact an group administrator to add the permissions. When editing the page, the user could change the image to another image in the folder that he has no page/image/file viewing permissions. Listing pages and images without said permissions was also possible via the REST-Api. This has been fixed so that the user cannot list images of a folder he has no permission to.

Gentics Content.Node 5.15.47

Bugfix RT58589

When creating folders over the REST API, the inheritable object tags from the mother folder were not automatically set for the new created folder. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT58599

Some errors, that occurred while rendering the tree will be logged now.

Bugfix RT58574

Editing pages with Aloha Editor: When using the method addDeleteButton() to add delete buttons to blocks, that contain nested blocks, the delete button was also attached to the nested blocks. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT58572

When content repositories, that have instant publishing enabled are not available, this might affect the whole system. With some new configuration options, it is possible to have instant publishing temporarily disabled in case of availability problems. See Instant Publishing in the Guides for details.

Bugfix RT58589

Creating new folders in the backend sometimes produced an SGB due to duplicate object tags. The folder was created in the DB, but caches were not properly cleared, which caused some problems afterwards. This has been fixed now, duplicate object tags will be ignored now.

Bugfix RT58599

The tree used to select the target folders when copying pages internally used too many requests to the REST API. This has been fixed now, which will reduce the render times for the tree.

Bugfix RT58570

In some situations, dirting of folders upon changed object properties might not work, because a new object tag object had been created since the folder was last published. Storing of dependencies has been improved to be insensitive against such situations. It is important to note, that this change will only affect objects, that are republished after this update.

Bugfix RT58561

Some issues of export and import of channel structures have been fixed.
For these fixes, it is important that both the source and target system are update to the newest version of GCN, before doing the export and import.

When importing a master node together with at least one channel, that contained at least one localized folder, into a system, where neither of the nodes already existed, it could happen, that the import failed with an “Internal error“.
When exporting a master with channel and subchannel, it could happen that the this channel structure was not imported correctly.
When resolving a conflict with behaviour “copy“, some parts of the new created object possibly had the same global IDs as the
imported object, which could lead to “Internal errors“ in subsequent imports.
When resolving a conflict with behaviour “copy” and then doing another import of the same bundle, the conflict
would not be detected again, which could lead to unwanted overwriting of the local object.

Bugfix RT58596

When publishing into a non MCCR content repository and not using multithreaded publishing, the motherid of an object sometimes would not be updated after the object had been moved to another folder. This has been fixed now.

Gentics Content.Node 5.15.46

Bugfix RT58560

When a page is modified and republished during a publish process that published this page, it could happen that not all dependencies of the republished page were correctly dirted. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT58067

The import of pages will now give more explicit error messages (in the server log) when the process fails due to data inconsistencies.

Bugfix RT58564

Fixed a SGB error that occured in some cases, when trying to upload a new file in the tag fill dialog.

Bugfix RT58557

In the previous bugfix RT58305, a background job that deletes broken content tags was added. However when a broken tag was found it caused the Tomcat to wrongly block the startup due to a not logged error. The error handling of background jobs has also been improved.

Bugfix RT58566

Saving the tag definitions of a template possibly takes some time, because it could affect many pages. This could lead to a timeout in the request, which resulted in an SGB, although the process of saving the tag definition was successful. This has been changed now, so that if saving the tag definitions takes longer, the process will be taken to the background and the user will get a notification, when saving is complete.

Gentics Content.Node 5.15.45

Security

SSL Security Advisory
The POODLE attack (PaddingOracleOnDowngradedLegacyEncryption) allows to steal “secure” HTTP cookies when SSL 3.0 is being used. We strongly recommend disabling SSL 3.0 support in your apache webserver configuration and if needed to update the openssl library once a fix for this issue has been released.
The SSL support for the Gentics Content.Node 5.15.x (Tegal) package installer has been removed. New package installations should use the latest version of GCN.

CVE-2014-3566

Bugfix RT58544

When an editor using Aloha Editor on Internet Explorer tried to leave the edited page (e.g. by clicking into the tree) with unsaved changes, a confirm message was shown, whether the changes should be saved before leaving the page. However, saving never worked, regardless of whether “OK“ or “Cancel” was clicked. Since it is not possible to save the page in an asynchronous call when leaving the page (the browser just would not issue the asynchronous save request), the behaviour when just leaving the page with unsaved changes has now been unified for all browsers: The user will get a notification message, explaining that unsaved changes would be lost when leaving the page.

Bugfix RT58531

When an editor without permission to publish a page tried to publish a page that was missing some mandatory tags, the page would be put into the queue nevertheless. This is incorrect, the check for missing mandatory tags has to be done before putting the page into the queue. The behaviour has been changed now, so that it is not possible to put a page into the queue, if it is missing mandatory tags.

Bugfix RT58539

When creating pages from within the todo tool, the language was not correctly set, if the Node, the user had visited last, did not have that language activated. This has been fixed now, the language will now be checked against the languages of the Node, where the page is created.

Bugfix RT58554

GenticsImageStore: A previous bugfix could cause the colors of a resized image to be wrong. The bugfix has been updated in order to prevent such wrong colors.

Bugfix RT58537

Image Manipulation: The error “include imagemanipulation2 not found.” which showed up in the error log but had no functional consequence was fixed.

Gentics Content.Node 5.15.44

Manual Change

Aloha Link tagtype: A previous manual update of the tagtype “Aloha Link” caused a misbehaviour when adding a link.

Breaks were inserted before and after links when saving a page. To perform the manual change please update the tagfill of the tagtype “Aloha Link“ (keyword: “gtxalohapagelink”) to match the code in the Aloha Page Link Tag Description.

Bugfix RT58509

When setting the page language to a different language the language of the localized versions of the page was not updated. This has been fixed.

Bugfix RT58526

When editing with Aloha Editor and an editable is activated that has a block element (like a table or tag) as first and/or last element, an empty paragraph needs to be inserted at the very start and/or end of the editable in order to provide a landing place for the cursor. When using Internet Explorer in IE7 mode, this did not work properly. Sometimes no paragraph was added, sometimes it contained a superfluous break element and thus had two lines. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT58528

When publishing a page out of the Real Edit Mode using Aloha Editor failed (e.g. due to missing mandatory fields), no message was shown to the editor. This has been fixed now: a message will be shown to the editor and the page will stay in edit mode.

Bugfix RT58517

When using the Repository Browser in IE7 (or in a more recent version of Internet Explorer in IE7 mode), resizing the window and/or the Repository Browser could completely crash the browser. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT58525

When setting an object property for a localized folder in a channel and applying the change to all subfolders, the change also affected subfolders in the master channel. This has been fixed. Now, if an object-property-change is applied to all subfolders of a localized folder, then only localized subfolders in the same channel will be affected by the change.

Bugfix RT58521

REST API: Deleting a page would not work if it has missing contenttags or contenttags with missing values. The delete call would also report success on the delete operation in this case.

Gentics Content.Node 5.15.43

Bugfix RT58503

Sorting the items listed in the repository browser by name did not work and has been fixed now.

Gentics Content.Node 5.15.42

Bugfix RT58490

When migrating existing projects to Aloha Editor, live editable tagtypes that use a part like Text, Text/HTML or Text/HTML (long) (which will replace newlines to br-Tags while rendering) would add superfluous br-Tags every time a page is edited with Aloha Editor. Changing the part to HTML would not change the stored content and newlines stored in the contents would no longer be transformed into br-Tags.
For this reason, the behavior of saving contents into such parts has been changed to strip all contained newlines. In this way, the editables can still be used with Aloha Editor without any further migration necessary.
It is mandatory to activate the feature aloha_annotate_editables for this to work. See the Aloha Editor Migration Guide for details.

Bugfix RT58468

GenticsImageStore: Fixed the GenticsImageStore not being able to resize .gif images. Instead of the resized image, the original image was returned. This bug was introduced with GCN 5.15.34 / 5.16.20 / 5.17.7.

Bugfix RT58430

Some additional log entries were added to better log, when a template is modified. Also locking and unlocking pages will now be logged separately with new log actions “Lock“ and “Unlock”.

Bugfix RT58489

When changing the tagtype of a template tag, that is editable in pages, not all caches where cleared correctly after the tags in the pages were changed. This could cause subsequent errors. E.g. when editing a page afterwards, it could happen, that the page was stored with the original tagtype. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT58412

Construct Editing: Modifying any construct property including description, keyname, parts caused all pages to be republished that utilized tags that were created using the construct. Only modifications to parts will now cause republishing of pages. Modifying all other properties including keyname and description will no longer cause publishing of pages.

Gentics Content.Node 5.15.41

Bugfix RT58456

Page Translate: In some cases a page property dialog with empty fields and no confirm button was shown when a user tried to translate a page. Additional permission checks were added in order to prevent this bug. The error messages now also contain information about the missing permissions.

Bugfix RT58456

Translation permissions: A message will now be displayed when the translator has not enough permissions to translate a page in a different language. Previously the action was just silently aborted.

Bugfix RT58418

When pages, images or files cannot be moved due to naming conflicts, the error messages will now explicitly contain the names of the conflicting objects and their folders. Additionally, if the conflict arises in a channel (but not in the master node), the channel name will be contained in the error messages. Error messages will now be shown in a browser alert message, so they cannot be easily missed.

Bugfix RT58467

When disabling the IE7 Standards Mode, and editing pages using the old Live Editor, some incorrect CSS setting caused rendering problems for editable areas. The borders around editables containing multiple lines of content were not rendered correctly and the tag icon changed it‘s position when activating the editable. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT58447

When changing the name of a folder, without changing the publish directory, no check for duplicate publish paths will be done. Therefore, changing only the name is still possible, even if duplicate publish paths already exist.

Bugfix RT58451

When editing a page using aloha editor in “real editor“ mode, saving the page (using the “Save“ button in the ribbon), saved the page, but did not create a new version. When clicking the “Cancel“ button in the ribbon afterwards, the last saved version of the page is restored, which is unexpected behaviour. This has been fixed now, when using the “Save“ button in the ribbon to save the page, a new version will now be created and clicking “Cancel” afterwards will no longer undo the changes, which were saved before.

Bugfix RT58334

Page list: In some cases the top menu search menu was not being displayed. Additional role permission checks have been added in order to correctly determine the visibility of this menu entry.

Bugfix RT58443

The gallery view was affected by the paging setting, but did not show the paging controls. Also the placement of the images in the gallery was wrong. This has been fixed now, the gallery will now show all images and will not use paging.

Gentics Content.Node 5.15.40

Bugfix RT58256

Unnecessary output of WARN messages like “WARN TagPartType not filled, but is still rendered. (TagPartType is null, data inconsistency – invalid link to tag {tagClass:class com.gentics.contentnode.object.ContentTag} {tagId:0} {valueId:47110815})” in the publish log will be omitted now.

Bugfix RT58408

Loading images (path /folder/getFiles/{folderId}) or items (path /folder/getItems/{folderId}) using the Java REST API client failed with some deserialization errors. This has been fixed now. The result for the calls to /folder/getFiles/{folderId} and /folder/getItems/{folderId} will contain an additional property (@class) for each file or item, that specifies the Class to be used for deserialization in the Java REST API client.

Bugfix RT58424

Translating pages in the backend or with the REST-API wouldn‘t work when group channel restrictions were in use.

Bugfix RT58434

When a published page was republished without any changes, a log entry like “Create Major Version (updated version 9.0 to 9.0)” was written which suggested that a new version should have been created. In fact, when republishing an already published page without any changes will not create a new version and such log entries are incorrect and will not be written any more.

Bugfix RT58139

When uploading a new image/file and then directly clicking the file, editing it‘s object properties did not work (produced an SGB). This has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT58388

The Time Management during a publish process will now be done earlier (before the initialization of the publish process) in it‘s own transaction. This fixes problems, where pages, that are published with “publish at” are possibly not published with the correct contents.

Bugfix RT58448

When starting a Tagtype Migration process, a new background Thread is created, which is never removed. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT58422

When using a PostProcessor in a tagtype migration for a template, the template was not migrated although the job finished with success. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT58312

In rare cases, the application server for Gentics Content.Node would not start properly due to an unexpectedly terminated initialization job, which the startup routine failed to detect. This has been fixed now. If an initialization job terminates, an exception will be logged and the application server will start normally.

Bugfix RT58437

When uploading new files or changing files, the uniqueness check for the filename (with publish directory) was not done case insensitively. This could cause creation of files for which the publish path only differed in case. This subsequently could cause problems in the frontend. The uniqueness check has been fixed now to be case insensitive.

Gentics Content.Node 5.15.39

Bugfix RT58441

The background job for synchronizing published versions of page variants sometimes causes an Exception on tomcat startup. This has been fixed.

Gentics Content.Node 5.15.38

Bugfix RT58432

When modifying the html of a tag in a callback to “tag.rendered” (using the Gentics Content.Node Javascript API), the modified html was ignored. This has been fixed now. When modifying the html of a tag, it is necessary to note, that at least the root tag of the original html must be left untouched.

Bugfix RT58371

When editing an overview for the first time after a new login, the list of selected entries will disappear after clicking back and next in the overview wizard. This has been fixed.

Bugfix RT58384

Sometimes importing a Page with an Overview that already exists on the system does not update the overview settings. This has been fixed.

Bugfix RT58386

When a page was localized in a channel, the properties “languageset“ and “pagevariants“ were triggered for all language or page variants of the page in the master node and for all channels. This probably caused too many pages dirted, which subsequently caused too large publish processes. This has been fixed now, dirting of “languageset“ and “pagevariants” will now be done channel specific were possible.

Gentics Content.Node 5.15.37

Bugfix RT58383

Guides: Enhanced the FAQ page on how to enable the profiler.

Bugfix RT58403

Fixed users being able to take inherited pages offline, even when they don‘t have access to the master node.

Bugfix RM14192

Channel sync: Fix javascript error occuring when pressing the buttons “Push to master“ or “Remove localization“. Error message: ”Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property ‘focus‘ of undefined

Bugfix RT58305

When restoring a page version, tags where the tagtype has been deleted in the meanwhile also got restored. When trying to load this page afterwards the user would get an error message. The problem has been fixed by not restoring such tags anymore.

Gentics Content.Node 5.15.36

Gentics Content.Node 5.15.35

Bugfix RT54802

With Firefox the menu list in the template preview is displayed always with two columns instead of one. This has been fixed.

Bugfix

An issue within the REST API was fixed which could lead to stalling mysql server connections. Ultimately this issue could result in ‘Too many connections‘ errors.

Bugfix RT58365

The main Gentics Content.Node connection pool can now be configured using the following settings: The default max_connections limits for MySQL 5.5/5.6 is 151. We suggest to use 80% of the server connection limit for the gcn connection pool. You can check the connection limit by logging in your MySQL server and execute the following command:

   show variables like 'max_connections';

The pool_whenExhaustedAction setting can have the following values:

BLOCK: The connection pool will no longer hand out connections when the limit was reached (Suggested action)
GROW: The connection pool will continue growing even if the limit has been reached. (Current default action)
FAIL: The connection pool will throw exceptions when the limit was reached.

   $SETTINGS["pool_size_max"] = 120;   $SETTINGS["pool_whenExhaustedAction"] = "BLOCK";

Bugfix RT58327

Various issues in the scheduler task event view were fixed:

Previously it was possible to select a task event dependency which would cause a closed dependency cycle. Additional checks were added to disalow a task event select which would lead to this condition.
The translations within the task view property dialog were fixed and improved.
A bug was fixed which would cause parent dependencies for the task event not to show up within the task event dependency selection dropdown.

Gentics Content.Node 5.15.34

Bugfix RT58211

GenticsImageStore: On some occasions, when resizing a JPEG image with sRGB colorspace the resulting image has wrong colors. This has been fixed.

Bugfix RT58298

Sometimes, when a successful multithreaded publish process was finalized, errors like “An already closed connction got into the pool.” would be logged (as FATAL errors), which did not indicate any real errors. The finalizing algorithm has been changed to avoid those error messages.

Gentics Content.Node 5.15.33

Documentation RT58295

Added missing documentation to the PermResource, the resource for reading and writing permissions in the REST Api. Previously it was unclear how to get the folder and role permissions and how to read the permission bit strings in the response. This has been fixed.

Bugfix RT58285

The handling of “internal” datasources ~~datasources that belong to a specific tag that has a part of type "Datasource"~~ during Import/Export has been fixed. They will no longer be treated as individual objects, but as tag content. The changes in detail are:

Internal datasources will no longer be excluded, even if datasources are excluded generally. Internal datasources must always be exported within the tags that contain them.
Internal datasources will no longer be shown in the export overview or detail list.
Internal datasources will no longer be shown in the conflict view.
Internal datasources will no longer be shown in the import overview or detail list.

Bugfix RT58243

In some cases, due to incorrect tagmap data, the content repository synchronization during the publish process would detect changes in the content repository structure every time. This caused “changing” the structure on every publish run, which did not actually change anything, but just took some unnecessary time. This has been fixed now, the content repository structure will now only be modified if really necessary.

Bugfix RT58328

If a content file has no file extension, then the meta attribute file.extension returned the file name instead of an empty string. This has been fixed.

Bugfix RT58324

Pages that were published into a multichannelling aware contentrepository during a regular publish process did not get the correct updatetimestamp set. As a result, caches were not cleared by syncchecking. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT58278

When a file was dirted and then deleted during the next publish run, the publish run possibly failed, when the file should be published into a Content Repository where the attribute binarycontent was a filesystem attribute. This has been fixed now, the behavior in such cases will now be the same as when the attribute binarycontent is no filesystem attribute.

Gentics Content.Node 5.15.32

Manual Change

Aloha Link Plugin: Links were not escaped correctly when inserted with the aloha link plugin.

With this manual change you can place special characters in a link and it will be escaped according to html standards. To do the manual change please update the tagfill of the tagtype “Aloha Link“ (keyword: “gtxalohapagelink”) to match the code in the Aloha Page Link Tag Description.

Documentation RT58220

Some incorrect and unclear parts of the documentation of the Migration Tool have been improved: The documentation now states, that the Migration Tool is available for object property definitions, not for Tagtypes. Also the unclear german translation of the description of the checkbox to “apply a migration to all pages using the same template as this page” has been corrected.

Bugfix RT58260

The database connections for Content Repositories did no use connection pools. This caused many reconnects to the Content Repository databases when instant publishing is used. This has been changed now. Database connections to Content Repository databases will now be pooled (with very conservative settings). This means that connections will be kept alive and can be reused after the publish process is finished.

Bugfix RT58250

Sorting the Queue by Node caused an SGB, which has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT58243

The output generated by the function “Check data” for Content Repositories will now contain some detailed information about why objects are not supposed to be contained in the checked Content Repository.

Bugfix RT58296

When creating a page with non-ASCII characters in its name in the backend, the automatically created filename would sometimes be empty.

Bugfix RT58207

For users that are restricted to channels, sometimes the context menu in the folder tree was not shown for inherited folders in the channel due to an incorrect permission check. This occurred right after the login, before the user entered a specific node by clicking onto a folder in the folder tree. After entering a node and refreshing the folder tree, the context menu was shown correctly for all folders. This has been fixed now, the context menu will now be correct right from the start.

Bugfix RT58271

Doubleclicking on the duplicate button when doing image manipulation could create two duplicates with the same file name. This has been fixed.

Bugfix RT58279

When pages were moved to other folders, they were left in the “locked“ state, even if they were not locked before. Also when pages were copied, the copy was “locked”. Both issues have been fixed now, moving or copying pages will not lock them.

Gentics Content.Node 5.15.31

Security RT58241

The Apache Tomcat will automatically be updated to version 6.0.41 in order to secure various vulnerabilities.

Bugfix RT58275

Some inperformant SQL queries that were used while versioning pages could cause long database locks. Those SQL queries have been fixed now.

Bugfix KB1726

Dirting: Previously, when opening the properties of a folder and clicking “OK” without changing any values, all objects depending on this folder have been dirted and re-published. From now on this will only happen when one of the values changes.

Bugfix RT58216

When using the copy_tags feature to copy & paste tags from one page into another, the new inserted tags would not get the edit buttons right away. It was necessary to save and reopen the page in edit mode to get the edit buttons for the copied tag. This has been fixed now, copied tags will immediately get the edit buttons.

Bugfix RT58131

Fixed webapp startup issues: When triggered, the safety check for mappedglobalidsequence would prevent the detection of a new license key. In some configurations, the startup safety checks would not output any error message. Now, there‘s additional logging as well as output to stderr, in case something prevents the startup of the webapp. The webapp will now refuse to startup if no globalprefix is set and no valid license can be found.

Gentics Content.Node 5.15.30

Bugfix RT58213

When a page was scheduled to be published at a certain time in the future, and was then processed by a publish run with multithreaded publishing, the publishtimestamp that was written into the Content Repository was not the one from the publish process but from the time, the editor scheduled the publishing. This has been fixed now, the publishtimestamp written into the Content Repository will now be correct.

Bugfix RT58217

When creating page variants on a system using multichannelling, variants created in nodes (not channels) were also marked as belonging to a channel. This caused the “synchronisation” of page variants to fail: When a variant is modified and published, a new version containing the new content is supposed to be created for all page variants, which did not happen in these cases. This has been fixed now. The update will also correct the incorrect channel setting of the page variants. Missing page versions will be added and affected pages will be scheduled to be republished in the next publish run.

Gentics Content.Node 5.15.29

Bugfix RT58192

The quickjump did not work as expected when using multichannelling: inherited pages in channels were not found and pages in master nodes were shown as result, even if the user was restricted see pages in channels only. Both issues have been fixed now.

Bugfix RT58209

Publishing to content repositories: Updatetimestamps are now created from wallclock time instead of from transaction time. This will mitigate portal cache consistency issues when instant publishing is used during a publish run.

Bugfix RT58227

Fixed too strict permission check that would hide the “OK” button when editing a user. This way changing a user‘s group assignments directly from the user‘s edit view was not possible any more.

Gentics Content.Node 5.15.28

Bugfix RT58204

Deleting a node could sometimes lead to database inconsistencies (leaving a node entry without its root folder). Those database inconsistencies would subsequently cause publish failures. The process of deleting nodes has been modified, so that no database inconsistencies can occur, even if the process itself is interrupted or fails.

Bugfix RT58156

Implementations using the Datasource PartType did not work as expected. Dirting of dependent objects did not work, when tags containing a Datasource PartType were changed and doing imports of tags with Datasource PartTypes could cause Internal Errors. These errors have been fixed now. Possibly incorrect references to datasources in the database will automatically be corrected during the next initialization of Gentics Content.Node.

Bugfix RT58198

The language shown in the page properties dialog was not the page‘s language, but the currently selected content language. This has been fixed now. The page‘s language will be shown now. If the page has no language set, the field will be empty.

Gentics Content.Node 5.15.27

Manual Change

Aloha Link Plugin: Links were not escaped correctly when inserted with the aloha link plugin.

Bugfix RT58159

Fixed multiple issues with roles: Group permission dialog would not display the assigned role count. Roles would not be assigned recursively to child objects in the Group permission dialog. All roles except one would be ignored most of the time if multiple roles are assigned to an object.

Bugfix RT58179

Setting permissions on custom tree entries did not work as expected and has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT58187

When using Roles to grant permissions on languages to users, the “translate“ role was not sufficient to create language variants of existing pages. This has been fixed now, users with the “translate“ role for a specific language are allowed to create translations (language variants of existing pages), whereas creation of new pages still requires the “create“ role (or the “create” group permission).

Gentics Content.Node 5.15.26

Bugfix RT58117

Pasting a link didn‘t mark it as Aloha Page link. This has been fixed.

Bugfix RT57383

Using an apostrophe in a folder name would lead to a javascript error in the folder listings. Also, javascript escape sequences were interpreted by mistake. This has been fixed.

Bugfix RT58165

It is no longer possible to store files (or images) with empty filename using the properties dialog, the imagemanipulation2 or the REST API.

Bugfix RT57729

Importing an object property definition containing an overview sometimes failed with an “Internal error”, because the export contained an invalid reference. This has been fixed now. New exports of object property definitions containing overviews can now be successfully imported.

Bugfix

A javascript error in the webdav (folder open) dialog was fixed. Internet Explorer 11 does no longer support opening of webdav folders. Instead webdav folders have to be opened manually now. The infotext in the webdav dialog was adapted.

Bugfix RT58146

Some actions on tagtypes, like adding or removing a part did not change the editor and edittime of the construct itself. This has been changed now. Also log entries will now be added on all actions of constructs.

Bugfix RT58176

2dotool integration: “Request translation” would log out the user immediately.

Bugfix RT58089

Fixed the GCN JS API to enable it to recover after a JavaScript exception occurs with no ‘error-encountered‘ handler registered to.

Gentics Content.Node 5.15.25

Bugfix RT58124

When a tagtype is deleted, that was used by an object property, this could cause excessive dirting (delaying the publish process for a long time), even in the object property was not used by a large number of objects. This has been optimized now, deleting a tagtype will only cause a dirt event, if the tag that used the tagtype was enabled.

Bugfix RT58001

Image Manipulation 2: Fixed manipulating images not working on certain systems with a webserver proxy that filters URL‘s for security and doesn‘t allow full URLs to be passed as URL parameter.

Bugfix RT57825

Tagfill popup (Internet Explorer): fix automatic scroll to the bottom of the popup when editing a Tagfill.

Bugfix RT58124

When exporting an object that can have object tags (folder, template, page, image or file), only enabled object tags will be exported. This fixes the problem, that object property definitions need to be exported together with objects, although the object tag has never been used (filled) for the object.

Bugfix RT58084

If removing pages or files during an incremental page import lasted longer than 5 seconds, an error was logged in the import log, and possibly not all removed files or pages were deleted in the CMS. This has been fixed now by increasing the timeout to a reasonable high number of seconds.

Bugfix RT58148

When opening the todo tool, the user was automatically logged out. This has been fixed now, the todo tool can now be used normally.

Bugfix RT58132

When deleting a tagtype or object property definition takes longer than 5 seconds, the user will now be informed, that the process is continued in the background. When deleting object property definitions, dirting for deleted object tags will only be done for enabled object tags.

Bugfix RT55699

quickjump: if a page exists but is not visible to a user and the user searches for the page name in the quickjump box, the system will try to access the page and an error message is shown. This has been changed to a “Page not found” message.

Gentics Content.Node 5.15.24

Bugfix RT58086

If a page is moved to another node and taken offline before the next publishrun, then it will not be removed correctly from the source node. This has been fixed.

Bugfix RT57949

Multichanneling: The order functionality within the list views (folders, files, pages, templates) did not work correctly when ordering the column “Master”. This issue is now resolved.

Bugfix RT58063

A file descriptor leak has been discovered in the scheduler that could potentially eat up all available file descriptors for scheduled processes. This fix removes a leaked file descriptor of a lock file.

Gentics Content.Node 5.15.23

Bugfix RT58095

contentfile-auto-offline: Previously, when a page contained an Image-URL for an Image in the same contentrepository, the target image file was not taken online automatically. This has been fixed.

Bugfix RT58104

An error was log when loading an inexistent php file (‘get_folder_tree.func.php‘). This error has been fixed.

Bugfix RT57635

Fixed an issue where pages couldn‘t be listed in the backend if you only had permissions for a specific language using a role and the language had not yet been set.

Bugfix RT58140

A bug in the page version restore was fixed. In some cases a version restore could create a new mappedglobalid record which conflicted with the existing one. This duplicate record could lead to import/export problems. In some cases an import of a page which would overwrite a page tag would recreate the tag without a value. The duplicate mappedglobalid records will automatically be purged. Please note that the purge process may a take while depending on your mappedglobalid size.

Bugfix RT57635

Fixed an issue where role permissions were sometimes not loaded correctly and users had too little or too many permissions. Also, existing role permissions sometimes wouldn‘t show in the role editor and be deleted on save even if not modified.

Bugfix kb1568

Gentics Image Store: Resizing an image produced an exception so the image did not resize and instead the original image was returned. This has been fixed.

Bugfix RT58072

Multichanneling: When editing the value of a part type URL and the file/image is inside a localized folder, the displayed path name was wrong.

Bugfix RT56639

Tagtype migration: When doing a migration on an object property definition in the Administration, there somtimes occured a SGB error or a white page was shown. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT57635

Fixed a NPE when trying to read role permissions from the database that have no permissions set for files.

Gentics Content.Node 5.15.22

Bugfix RT58073

GenticsImageStore: jpeg resizing quality setting is not ignored when cropping.
When the jpeg resizing quality was set in the node configuration, it was ignored when cropping an image. This error has been fixed.

Bugfix RT58016

Validation feature: Fixed that some page properties and page tags/object properties weren‘t validated in the Rest API page/save request. This only affects GCN systems where the validation feature is enabled.

Bugfix RT58049

When uploading a file, the temporary file of the File-Upload-Manipulator was never deleted. This has been fixed.

Gentics Content.Node 5.15.21

Bugfix RT57997

Previously, a rollback of a Contentrepository transaction of a publish run could result in a hangup of the publish process. This has been fixed now.

Gentics Content.Node 5.15.20

Enhancement RT58071

Improved the documentation for the Navigation Part Type

Bugfix RT57999

Publishing: File names with ‘)‘ and ‘]‘ didn‘t work with the Gentics Image Store.

Bugfix RT578055

GCN JS API / REST-API: Fixed page.preview() not working for pages in channels.
A new request parameter “nodeId” has been added to the RestAPI preview method. There was an error when calling the GCN JS API function ‘preview‘ in a local folder of a channel. This error has been fixed.

Bugfix RT58067

An import would previously under certain circumstances delete a freshly imported value from a contenttag. These values are now imported correctly.

Bugfix RT58030

When setting a startpage for a folder in the folder object properties a log entry is written. This log entry is missing, when doing the same via the context menu in the page list of a folder. Now both actions will produce the same log entry.

Bugfix RT58036

linkBrowser: only channel nodes from the master node are displayed in the link Browser.
Before the fix, all channel nodes were displayed in the Link Browser. Now only the channel nodes derived from the master node of the actual page are displayed in the navigation tree of the link Browser.

Gentics Content.Node 5.15.19

Bugfix RT58031

The ‘Web adresse‘ regular expression now accepts ‘https://‘ URLs and network-path reference URLs (‘//‘).
When creating a new part type and selecting ‘Web adresse‘ as regular expression only ‘http‘ URLs were accepted. With this fix, ‘https‘ URLs are also accepted.

Bugfix RT58034

Occasionally, in Wiki-Edit-Mode, when clicking “edit” in the Real-Editor an error message was shown instead of the editing mask.

Bugfix RT58007

Previously, Navigation parts would use and count pages that were not not yet published or already taken offline. They have been fixed to only use and count pages that are actually online.

Bugfix RT57902

During import, objects with translatable names or descriptions (Tagtypes, Parts,...) previously would have empty names or descriptions replaced by non-empty strings of other translations. Now, empty names or descriptions can be imported normally.

Gentics Content.Node 5.15.18

Information related to the Heartbleed openSSL security vulnerability
The libSSL version 0.9.8 which was included in older Gentics Content.Node installation packages does not contain the Transport Layer Security (TLS) heartbleed extension. It is therefore not affected by the Heartbleed security bug. The latest Gentics Content.Node installation package (5.16.x) does not contain any thirdparty binary libraries.

Bugfix RT57986

Multiple bugs concerning overviews have been fixed: An overview would be dirted if a matching object was added in a channel. A recursive overview of images would not be dirted if an image was added in a subfolder of a selected folder. An overview would not render objects created in the same channel, if there were no other dependencies of the page in that channel (as compared to the parent channel).

Bugfix RT57893

Improved robustness of publish process A race condition that allowed the publish process to run multiple times in parallel has been removed. A potential deadlock in error handling during the initialisation phase of the publish process has been removed.

Bugfix RT57976

When defining velocity macros in tag implementations, the macros were globally available and would be overwritten by macros defined in other tags but with the same name. This resulted in unexpected and random behavior if multiple macros with the same name were defined. The scope of inline defined macros has been changed to be local to the template, like documented in the Gentics Content.Node Guides.

Bugfix RT57765

Copying nodes: Fixed copying nodes with the user interface not correctly working. When copying a node, the copy would not appear in the users tree or node list because the permission cache was not refreshed.

Bugfix RT57923

Email sending: Fixed GCN not setting the “Return-Path“ in some cases when “$MAILRETURNPATH” is specified in the configuration. This happened for example when someone took pages back into revision in the publish queue.

Bugfix RT57985

When only a tagmap entry was modified for a ContentRepository, but no data was changed, the subsequent call to CRSync or MCCRSync would not synchronize this changed tagmap entry to the target CR. This has been fixed now, CRSync and MCCRSync will always synchronize modified tagmap entries, even if no actual data was changed.

Gentics Content.Node 5.15.17

Bugfix RT57977

File properties: Fixed a Javascript error that occured when opening the minibrowser and then clicking “ok“.
The Javascript error that was thrown: “TypeError: f.f_filename is undefined”.

Bugfix RT57922

Fixed wrong permission checking when assigning/unlinking nodes from a CR in the administration. Previously the following permissions where checked:

ContentRepository: Edit
Nodes: Create new node
Node: Display

Now the following permissions are checked:

ContentRepository: Edit
Node: Edit

Gentics Content.Node 5.15.16

Bugfix RT57796

Overview tags in pages: When editing new overview tags in pages the wizard starts with page 1 correctly. Previously it started with page 2 if any changes were made to the page.

Bugfix RT57984

When importing pages containing overviews over images, where the images have been selected manually, the references to the images were not set correctly, which resulted in empty overviews. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT54176

When importing a new node with a new object property definition, that is restricted to the node, the restriction was not set correctly. On the target system, the object property definition was available to all nodes. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix

An internal shutdown method for Gentics Content.Node has been fixed. Previously the shutdown command did not close the MySQL connection pool.

Bugfix RT57874

The way, older publish logs are archived was inefficient and has been improved. Before this fix, having many publish logs (e.g. because the publish process runs very often) which were very large could cause the archiving to take a very long time (up to several hours).

Gentics Content.Node 5.15.15

Security RT57919

Enhancement

Internal connections that use the IPv6 loopback interface are now also whitelisted by default. Previously IPv6 connections that used ‘::1‘ were not accepted by default.

Documentation RT57920

The documentation of the feature “cr_filesystem_attributes” has been enhanced to clarify that it is mandatory to repair the ContentRepository structures after switching on the feature, even if no filesystem attribute is used yet.

Bugfix RT57966

When rendering a channel local page for editing without specifying a nodeId, this failed because the page could not be loaded from the master channel. Now, the channel of the page will implicitly set and rendering will work as expected. This also affected frontend editing using Gentics Portal.Node Java, which did not work for channel specific pages.

Bugfix RT57921

Time management will now also be done in nodes, that have publishing disabled. Pages affected from time management will be set offline or online due to time management, but those changes will still not be published as long as publishing is disabled for the node. This will enable time management in situations, where pages from nodes with publishing disabled are inherited into channels that have publishing enabled. Additionally, time management is more efficient now, which reduces the publishing time for every publish process.

Bugfix RT57940

Editing folder permissions: the page for viewing and editing the folder permissions was not displayed if the multichannelling feature was not activated.

Bugfix RT57955

Certain inconsistencies in the database ~~files that exist in a folder but are bound to a channel, in which the file cannot be visible, because the folder is not visible in that channel~~ could cause a NullPointerException during the publish process while checking online files. This has been fixed now, such files will be treated as “non existent” in the folder‘s node and will be taken offline.

Bugfix RT57856

When cancelling a page while editing it in Aloha Editor or using the REST API, the global ID of the page might change, which would cause unexpected behavior when the page was exported to another system, since the page would then have different global IDs on the systems and could not be overwritten by a subsequent export. This has been fixed now, the global IDs of pages will no longer change when cancelling editing. Pages that are already affected by changed global IDs need to manually be modified if necessary.

Bugfix RT57892

The process of resizing images during a publish process with the GenticsImageStore has been modified to be more stable. Before this fix, images were fetched from the cache or resized (if not found in the cache) while subsequently reading data from the database. When many images needed to be resized this could take a long time and could cause the open database statement to run into a timeout. In these cases, the publish process would fail. Now, the database statement to get the information, which images are resized using the GenticsImageStore is processed before the actual image resizing takes place. Resizing the images may still take long, but will not cause a timeout in the database any more, so the likeliness of publish failures is reduced.

Bugfix RT57916

Folder creation: A rare error has been fixed that occured when creating a folder. During the creation of the folder an SGB error occured and a “tag_duplicate“-error was logged. This happened when the mother folder had an object property set, that was created inside another object property. When an object property definition was added to folders afterwards, with the same keyword and “inheration” enabled, the tag duplication (for inherited tags) while creating a folder didn‘t work properly.

Bugfix RT57919

LDAP Login: Fixed that the LDAP login is not working on certain LDAP server configurations, when using the setting $LDAP_LOGIN_FIELDS[“dontuse_uniquememberattribute“] = true; in the GCN configuration. The problem only occured with LDAP servers that use the field “uid“ or others for the unique user identifier, instead of “cn”.

Bugfix RT57820

Text area for the number of online users is wider so that it stays on a single line.
If the text representing the number of users inline was like ‘999 Benutzer online‘, the text was broken in two lines ‘14 Benutzer‘ and ‘online‘. Just by making bigger the area, the text stays in one line.

Bugfix RT57950

The error handling for publishing into contentrepositories with multithreaded publishing has been improved.

Bugfix RT57915

When a page variant of an inherited page was created in a channel local folder, the master page could not be edited any more. Additionally, loading the master page over the REST API in the scope of the master with page variants attached resulted in an error. These errors have been fixed now.

Bugfix RT57918

File upload: Fixed image recognition for JPG images not correctly working in rare cases. Previously those images would not be recognized as image and the mimetype would be “application/octet-stream”. Now they are correctly recognized as images.

Bugfix RT57957

On a rollback of a publishrun with instant publishing enabled, Gentics Content.Node would previously leave already published objects in the content repository, but delete their filesystem attributes. This behaviour has been corrected so that only the filesystem attributes of actually rolled back objects are deleted.

Bugfix RT57803

Fixed a content repository consistency issue: If you moved a file between two nodes that publish to the same content repository, that has instant publishing enabled, it would get deleted from the contentrepository on the next publish run.

Gentics Content.Node 5.15.14

Bugfix RT57819-RT57627

Follow-up from Bugfix RT57627. When a Page is imported and no weekdays are set for per-weekday-publishing it automatically sets all weekdays. Since GCN 5.15.8 all weekdays are set for per-weekday-publishing by default. This fixes importing a page from a system prior 5.15.8, where pages would appear online if no weekday was set for per-weekday-publishing.

Bugfix RM13359

When user assignment to a group with the permission to modify tagtypes of several nodes was restricted to only some of that nodes, the list of construct did not always show the tagtype icons accordingly (icons for tagtypes that are not editable by the user should be displayed greyed out). This has been fixed now, so the icons will always show the editing permissions correctly.

Bugfix RT57849

When opening a page for editing with Aloha Editor, the toolbar entries to insert new tags into editables are created asynchronously. In cases, where this takes longer and the editor activates an editable before the initialization is done, a wrong set of icons was shown. This has been fixed now. If an editor activates an editable before the tag insert icons are initialized, a “loading” icon will be shown in the toolbar as placeholder for the tag insert menu. When the the tag insert icons are ready to be used, the placeholder will immediately be replaced with the tag insert icons.

Bugfix RT57745

When subscribing to the event channel ‘tag.rendered‘ or ‘page.rendered‘ in the Gentics Content.Node JavaScript API, the handlers were not called when inserting new tags and the insertion failed (tag was not inserted) without any visible error messages. These errors have been fixed now, when inserting a new tag, the handler for the channel ‘tag.rendered‘ will be called and insertion will succeed.

Gentics Content.Node 5.15.13

Bugfix RT57867

Previously, the purgeversions job would corrupt the page cache and a subsequent “Page Cancel” on a corrupted page would revert it to its first recorded version. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT57793

Nodes having updates of filesystem/ContentRepository disabled were not rendered italic in the content maintenance dialog. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT57610

Internet Explorer 11 failed to be recognized as browser that is compatible with Live Editor, therefore the Live Editor was deactivated when using Internet Explorer 11. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT57663

Part types: Fixed some tag part types not having a “cnTagPart_“ HTML class set. This has been added for the following types now:

URL (file)
URL (folder)
URL (image)
URL (page): Has “cnTagPart_NAME_internal“ and ”cnTagPart_NAME_external

Bugfix RT57888

An broken i18n translation string was fixed in the User administration. The broken translation caused an input error when a new user was being added. This issue has now been resolved.

Bugfix RT57828

Multiple fixes/enhancements for the GCN fileuploader:
File properties:

Fixed changed filename not being taking over when uploading a new file for an existing file
When the filename of the new file has a new extension, the old extension will be replaced automatically
Added new button “Take over new filename” to take over the filename of the new file by clicking

Bugfix RT57815

A bug in the File Upload Manipulator was fixed. Previously the “fileId” property was not set in the request to the FUM script. This issue has now been resolved.

Gentics Content.Node 5.15.12

Bugfix RT57808

The message count in the top right corner had a bug that caused it to always be 0. It has been fixed to show the current number of unread messages of the user.

Bugfix RT57811

The created white spaces at the beginning and the end of inline tags are now bein removed. To be able to set the caret after inline blocks, empty ‘span‘ elements are added at the beginning and the end of all inline blocks. When saving the page, these elements were saved too. With this fix these ‘span‘ are ephemeral and are deleted once the page is saved. These ‘span‘ elements are also removed if the inline blocks are removed.

Bugfix RT57787

Page import: Fixed links sometimes not being rendered correctly when publising the pages during import. The links were published as static links (like they have not been transformed), however in the page preview it was rendered correctly. Now when using instant publishing, links will probably be rendered as “#” first (when the target page does not exist yet and will be imported later), but with the next publish run they will be rendered correctly.

Gentics Content.Node 5.15.11

Bugfix RT57494

Publish Queue: Fixed SGB error occuring, when trying to publish multiple pages at once. This error only occured when you went straight to the publish queue without clicking on a folder first.

Bugfix RT57764

Fixed the permissions check when moving a folder into another folder. The user needed the “create File“ permission on the target folder and the “create Folder” permission was ignored.

Bugfix RT57813

Previously, Gentics Content.Node would not publish pages from a channel in the filesystem, if the master node has either updates disabled or publishing into filesystem disabled. Now it will correctly publish as indicated in the properties of the channel node.

Bugfix RT57774

Fixed a database consistency problem that occured whenever a master folder with localizations was moved inside a channel node.

Gentics Content.Node 5.15.10

Bugfix RT57750

Gentics Content.Node now fails earlier if it detects common serious problems with GlobalID generation. (e.g. if you accidentally reset globalidsequence, import different objects with identical GlobalIDs or try to generate GlobalIDs with a NULL globalprefix)
This fix contains database changes that might take some time (~10min for 12M mappedglobalids) and might fail if your database is already corrupted (duplicate GlobalIDs or NULL GlobalIDs).
In order to prevent data corruption, the webapp will refuse to start if a modification to mappedglobalidsequence is detected (See error message in catalina.out).

Bugfix RT57712

When pushing pages to master nodes using the channel synchronization, pushing of pages will be prevented, if they use local templates (that are not available in the master node). The user will receive a notification about the inability to push pages due to local templates.

Bugfix RT57710

When the name of a node was changed using the backend UI, dependent objects were not dirted. This has been fixed now, changing the node name will now correctly trigger object dirting.

Bugfix RT57633

Page versions: Fixed data inconsistencies in the database table (duplicate data in nodeversion table) caused by users double clicking on the publish link.

Bugfix RT57712

When a page in the master node links to another object (file, image, page or folder) that exists locally in a channel and the source page is rendered in the master node, the link will be rendered as empty (#) now. Before this fix, the URL to the channel local page was rendered, which resulted in a dead link.

Bugfix RT51701

In the list of scheduler jobs, some execution plans of jobs were not readable in the tooltip due to css styling issues. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT57769

FileUploadManipulator: Fixed the “folder” object not being sent in the json script request object. See the FUM documentation for more information.

Gentics Content.Node 5.15.9

Manual Change

Server JRE Update

A jvm bug was discovered that caused OutOfMemory errors due to non garbage collected image data.
Please update the used Java version to Server JRE 1.7.0_51-b13 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.

Enhancement rt57204

The documentation about the publish process has be reorganized and enhanced.

Bugfix RT57500

A behaviour in IE caused fields to remain greyed out in the tagfill dialogue. When clicking the “display content” checkbox the area should change. The behaviour was fixed for IE.

Bugfix RT57688

When saving or importing a template, a NullPointerException would sometimes be thrown if the containing folder of the template has been deleted. Now you can also handle templates where the containing folder is deleted.

Bugfix RT57717

A bug in the migration feature was fixed. In some cases the migration of pages changed the page status to ‘being edited‘. This issue only occurred for pages that used templates that were modified recently. Additionally the logging of the migration process was enhanced.

Bugfix RT57602

$cms.rendermode.frontend will now be set to true when rendering a page using the preview() method. This makes the flag consistent with the fact that links are rendered in frontend mode in previews.

Gentics Content.Node 5.15.8

Enhancement RT57609

The performance of rendering statistics in the maintenance dialog has been improved by around 50% on systems with many nodes.

Bugfix RT57635

Permission checking for translation was updated, so that edit rights are not required anymore for the source language of a translation.

Bugfix RT57565

File upload: The description field in the “New -> File / Image” dialog has been removed. It was confusing for some users that the description was only set for files that were added/uploaded afterwards.

Bugfix RT57684

The way the changelog will be presented in the autoupdate dialog has been changed. Previously all changelog entries would be shown in the changelog dialog. Starting with the next release only the new changelog entries will be shown. Additionally the way how the changelog must be confirmed was changed. It is now mandatory to confirm each manual change.

Bugfix RT57627

Various small fixes concerning per-weekday publishing in timemanagement. Previously, per weekday publishing only worked with a start time set. Now it works unconditonally. Previously, page/load REST-API calls would return time management information with weekdays initialized to false if a start time was not set, now they are more intuitively initialized to true.

Bugfix RT57658

When using the REST API to create a page, file or folder in a folder that exists locally in a channel without specifying a nodeId, the object was created in the master node, but could never be seen in the master node, because its folder did not exist in the master node. This has been changed now, if no nodeId is specified in the request, the object will be created in the folder‘s channel. If an invalid nodeId is specified (nodeId of a channel, in which the specified folder is not visible), the request will fail now.

Bugfix RT57697

Live URLs: Fixed icons not being displayed anymore because the image is broken.

Bugfix RT57658

When using the tagfill dialog via frontend editing for uploading a new file or image into a page in a channel, the new file or image was not uploaded to the page‘s channel, but to the master node instead. This has been changed now, new files or images uploaded in the tagfill dialog will now be created in the page‘s channel.

Bugfix RT56361

A potential php out of memory error has been fixed in the maintenance dialog.

Bugfix RT57708

A NullPointerException that sporadically happens if a dependency gets deleted while the publishing process is running has been fixed.

Gentics Content.Node 5.15.7

Bugfix RT56904

When importing a folder but not the templates, which are assigned to the folder on the source system, the templates will now be assigned to the folder on the target system, if the templates already exist on the target system. Before this fix, templates were only assigned to folders, if the templates were imported.

Bugfix RT57568

A bug has been fixed, that prevented instant publishing of new folders, that were imported using the page import.

Bugfix RT57670

Previously, certain filenames of pages could not be uniquified automatically. This has been known to cause problems with e.g. imports. The code has been changed to allow for more filenames to be uniquified automatically.

Gentics Content.Node 5.15.6

Enhancement RT57646

Fileuploader: Enhanced the mimetype detection of uploaded Files, mimetypes in container formats are now correctly recognized. Previously, a Microsoft Office .docx document was recognized as application/zip because the container is actually a zip. It is now recognized as “application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document”.

Bugfix RT57644

Since a recent Chrome Update, the first column with the checkbox in GCN lists (pages in folders, scheduler, etc.) was cut. This is fixed now.

Bugfix RT57650

Previously, when moving files in the backend, the permission check on possible target folders was not performed correctly. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT57588

Previously, some templates found in recursive searches could not be displayed even if the user had permission to do so. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT57599

An additional info text has been added to the keyword field in the creation dialog for object properties, tagtypes and tagtype parts. The info text will notify the user that special characters inside the keyword may cause problems when those element are being referenced within an tagmap mapping.

Bugfix RT57669

In some cases a Gentics Content.Node Import could cause an exception directly after restart of the Apache Tomcat Server. The exception was related to the permission handling. The initialization of the permissions has been altered to fix this issue.

Bugfix RT57462

A bug in the migration feature was fixed. Previously the tagtype migration changed the status of offline pages to being edited. This issue only affected the offline pages within migration jobs.

Bugfix RT57190

Instant publishing a page that uses XNL functions will no longer hang when there is a concurrent publish process that uses XNL functions.

Gentics Content.Node 5.15.5

Bugfix RT57624

The GCNJSAPI has been fixed to work as documented when you try to get or set a value of a “Tag (page)” part. Documentation on this has been clarified, too.

Bugfix RT57606

Importing of localized templates always created a conflict due to missing target folder, if the localized template did not yet exist on the target system. Because of this, it was impossible to successfully finish the import. This has been fixed now. For localized templates, no check for target folders is done, because localized templates are always linked to the same folders as their masters.

Bugfix RT57607

When deleting folders, localized copies of templates linked to that folder were deleted, regardless of whether the (master) template was still linked to other folders or used in pages. This bug, which was introduced in Gentics Content.Node 5.13.25, 5.14.13 and 5.15.0 has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT57605

The SQL statements used to find reusable data files for filesystem attributes in multichannelling aware contentrepositories were inperformant and have been improved.

Bugfix RT56058

When files in the CMS lost their binary content (or were incompletely created without binary content), the publish process failed (due to missing binary data). The display of such files in the backend was inconsistent and it was not possible to delete such files to resolve the publishing error by using the backend. This has been fixed now, broken files that cause the publish process to fail will now be shown in the backend specially marked (with an alert icon and in red) and it is possible to delete them. Additionally, it is now possible to search broken files using either the extended search in the backend or the REST API.

Bugfix RT56622

Removing of objects from a multichannelling aware contentrepository with instant publishing did not work. The objects were removed at the next publish run. This has been fixed now, when instant publishing is enabled, objects will be immediately be removed unless more than one object is deleted at once.

Gentics Content.Node 5.15.4

Enhancement

Enhanced the permission page for folders (Accessed through the folders context menu) The permissions are now directly shown for all groups for the currently selected folder.

Enhancement

Inherited content and properties are rendered in REST-API ‘render‘ call (only localized pages). When calling /rest/page/render/{id} now it is possible to get the inherited content and the inherited properties when the parameter ‘inherited‘ is set to true. The response then will add 2 new properties:

‘inheritedContent‘: content of the inherited page
‘inheritedProperties‘: properties of the inherited page

Bugfix RT57550

When selecting elements for an overview using the repository browser, the order of the already selected elements was not always shown consistently. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT56031

Pausing the scheduler could take a very long time due to an inperformant SQL statement. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT57596

When writing pages into the contentrepositories was slower than rendering the pages, the internal job queues could grow very big, which could cause memory problems. This has been fixed now. If one of the queue exceeds the limit of 1000 pages, no more pages will be rendered (and put into the queue), until the queue is below the limit.

Bugfix RT56835

When using small browser windows (e.g. on systems with low resolutions), some data shown on the startpage of the CMS could overlap each other. This has been fixed now. If the window is too small to show the info boxes side by side the boxes will be shown one on top of the other.

Bugfix RT57556

A minor issue in the autoupdate feature was fixed. Additional protection checks were added to prevent multiple autoupdate invocations.

Bugfix RT57212

When loading the binary contents of a file via the REST API by using /rest/file/content/load/{id} the response always had the ‘Content-Type‘ ‘application/octet-stream‘. This has been changed now, the response to /rest/file/content/load/{id} will now have the correct ‘Content-Type‘ set.

Bugfix RT53165

When part of type “URL (Page)“ was set to be required in the tagtype, the tagtype itself could not be filled without providing a default value for that part. This behaviour was different than the behaviour for other parts (e.g. type “Text”) where the part only has to be filled for tags, but not for the tagtype itself. The behaviour has been changed now to be consistent for all part types: If a part is required, it still can be left empty for the tagtype, but has to be filled in tags (e.g. in pages).

Bugfix RT57297

A bug in the scheduler view was fixed. Previously no error message was being displayed when the user was trying to delete a scheduler task that still got tasks that depended upon it. This issue has now been resolved.

Bugfix RT57590

On some systems the Regex.Admin view did not display properly. A security check prevented the correct rendering of the view. The check has been adapted and the view will now render correctly.

Gentics Content.Node 5.15.3

Security RT54513

Rest API: Removed the “description“ and “login” field for all responses that return user objects (ie. creator and author) However, methods in the UserResource will still output those two fields for user objects.

Security RT54513

Previously, when an error occured while requesting a page from Tomcat (404 or 500), the Tomcat version number and a detailed message was shown. That information is now hidden (a static error page is shown). Detailed error output can be found in the log files.

Security RT54513

Fixed security issue that could possibly allow someone to take over your user account by sending you an URL and doing social engineering.

Bugfix RT57386

When creating folder overviews by manually selecting the folders and having the “recursive“ flag activated, the subfolders were not added, if the feature multichannelling was activated. This has been fixed now, manual folder overviews with “recursive” activated will now render like expected.

Bugfix RT57434

When migrating tags from a tagtype that contained non-editable parts using the tagtype migration tool, the filled value of the non-editable part in the source tagtype was removed, which should not happen. This has been fixed now. When migrating tags the source and target tagtypes are not changed.

Bugfix RT57499

When the action “check data“ or “repair data“ for a ContentRepository was started, the status changed to “Running“, even though the job was actually queued (along with other dirt or maintenance events or even the publish process). This has been changed now. The status will now show “Queued“ as long as the job is in the Queue and will only switch to “Running“ when the job really is started. Additionally, queued ContentRepository jobs will now be shown as “ContentRepository Maintenance Action“ instead of “Dependency Calculation” in the maintenance dialog.

Bugfix RT57387

Moving of inherited or localized folders is not allowed, because they must be moved in their master node. If an editor tried to move a localized or inherited folder, nothing happened, but the editor got no information telling why. This has been fixed now: If an editor tries to move an inherited or localized folder, an information will be displayed that this is not possible (similar to moving pages, images or files).

Bugfix RT57495

When editing tags as blocks using Aloha Editor and the tagtype implementation contained script tags and a jQuery version >= 1.9.0 was used, the script tags were replaced by some random numbers when the tag was re-rendered in the page after being modified using the tagfill dialog. These numbers were not saved to the page and did not affect the published content of the page, but were just shown while editing the page. This has been fixed now, re-rendering tags containing script tags will now also work with jQuery versions >= 1.9.0.

Gentics Content.Node 5.15.2

Enhancement

Documented tag icon rendering for node style syntax.

Bugfix RT55037

Ordering the file or image list by file size works now correctly.

Bugfix

Diagonal resizing in the MiniBrowser works properly now. The diagonal resizing region was very small and therefore very difficult to select.

Bugfix RT56720

The action “Delete (only this language)“ on pages has been removed for nodes with no languages assigned, for it does nothing. You can use “Delete (all languages)“ instead. For pages that have no language set, although the node has languages assigned, the action “Delete (only this language)” will now delete the page.

Bugfix RT57368

Multichannelling: Fixed the mother_obj_id of a folder not getting updated in the CR when the mother folder gets localized.

Bugfix RT57371

Email sending: Fixed deleted user receiving notification emails from GCN Now deleted users don‘t receive notification emails anymore.

Bugfix RT57259

Sending messages to groups using the GCN Javascript API did not work at all and has been fixed.

Bugfix RT57329

Executing the command ‘Change Template‘ on page variants failed with an error, which has been fixed now. When changing the template for multiple pages at once, the pages will now be processed one by one so changes to every single page will now be visible immediately.

Bugfix

When pages were dirted due to changed dependencies, this was not logged any more. This has been fixed now: when a page is dirted, an entry in the logcmd table will be made.

Bugfix RT57435

Previously, if you translated a page using the page/translate REST-API call, it would create excessive language versions of the same language if the master page was not located in a master node. Now, the page/translate call will not create multiple language variants of the same language any more.

Bugfix RT57460

The dirting mechanism has been slightly changed to avoid changes to the page table. This will avoid unnecessary locks of the page table that could cause errors while pages are edited during a long running dirt process.

Gentics Content.Node 5.15.1

Bugfix RT57442

When resizing images during a publish run using the GenticsImageStore, some file handles were not closed. This subsequently could cause publish run failures caused by a “too many open files” error. This has been fixed now, file handles will now immediately be closed after usage.

Gentics Content.Node 5.15.0

Manual Change

Permission settings, that were set on channels (root folders of channels) will not be effective any more.

Permission settings on channels will now always be inherited from the master node, even for the root folder of the channel. In order to restrict user access to specific channels, the assignment of the user to the group granting this permissions has to be restricted to the channels.
More information about restricting user-group assignments to nodes can be found in the Gentics Content.Node Guides

Enhancement

The performance for checking permissions ~~especially to build the folder tree~~ has been improved.

Permission entries with all permission bits set to 0 will no longer be stored in the database, which reduces the size of the perm table.
Checking the permissions will now be done using the REST API and will not access the perm table. All permission entries will be kept in the memory of the JVM. The memory consumption will be about 40 byte per perm entry (not counting the entries having all 0s). The database is only accessed, when permissions change.

Enhancement RT57003

The following meta attributes have been added for Velocity and the node notation:
Node:

https
master
utf8
alohaeditor

Check out the documentation for more information.

Enhancement RT56173

Various enhancements have been made to the repository browser. Resizing the repository browser now works.

Enhancement RT57304

Improvements have been to the repository browser UI. The way that notifications are shown when an item is selected with the resopsitory browser has also been be replaced with a better implemenation, and improved UI.

Enhancement

The error log now shows all errors – displaying errors as “internal errors” has been removed. Also, additional data like the request query string and the user is displayed if available.

Enhancement RM10457

The feature “always_localize” has been introduced. It allows you to skip the dialogue that asks, whether Gentics Content.Node should localize an inherited object before editing or just edit the inherited object. If it is skipped, the default answer is to localize. If the feature is enabled in your node.conf, You can configure it separately for every node in the Node Features menu.

Enhancement

The permission system has been enhanced to allow restricting user-group assignments to specific nodes/channels. This allows granting permissions to specific channels, without granting the permissions to other channels or the master node of the same channel structure.
More information about restricting user-group assignments to nodes can be found in the Gentics Content.Node Guides
