Gentics Content.Node 5.18.50
Bugfix SUP-1600
When an editor entered more than 255 characters into the description field for pages, folders or files, this either caused an SGB or superfluous characters were silently removed (depending on the database configuration). This has been changed now, so that the user will get a descriptive error message.
Bugfix SUP-1519
When a page is modified because the tagtype of a template tag (editable in pages) was changed, the editor and edate were changed, if the page was also missing some editable tags from the template. This has been fixed now.
Bugfix SUP-1771
Sometimes an error during a publish run did not cause a rollback of the current transaction (which could in turn cause subsequent publish runs to stall indefinitely). This has been fixed.
Bugfix SUP-1697
Pages containing tags that have values referencing a part of the construct which no longer exists could not be saved any more. This has been fixed now, such data inconsistencies will be cleaned automatically while saving.
Gentics Content.Node 5.18.49
Documentation SUP-1701
The default values of the variables “langvars“ and “pagevars“ in the PageAPI of the GCN Javascript API were wrongly documented as “false”. This has been corrected.
Bugfix SUP-1648
Links could be created by pressing the insert link buttons, or by inserting a magic link tag from the insert tag menu. The later method was not intended, so the link tag is no longer shown in the insert menu.
Bugfix SUP-1728
Fixed an internal server error (white page) when administrating users in the GCN user management.
Bugfix SUP-1707
When the feature always_localize was activated the dialogs for editing (object) properties of folders and pages sometimes would not open. This has been fixed.
Gentics Content.Node 5.18.48
Bugfix SUP-1415
Fixed some issues with activated maintenance mode:
- Fixed a case where users still were able to login, when CAS, SSO or HTTP AUTH login is used.
- Fixed the maintenance mode only being checked on user log in. now it will be also checked when the user loads a new page.
- Enhanced the positioning and the color of some stream styles for the maintenance mode.
Gentics Content.Node 5.18.47
Bugfix SUP-1486
Fixed a bug where Aloha Editor blocks (i.e. links) would be removed when saving the page, when a tag with the same name existed previously, but was removed by the editor. This only happened when the the page was not reloaded after saving. This can happen with Frontend editing and the Real editor mode.
Gentics Content.Node 5.18.46
Bugfix SUP-1337
Fixed the approval of page publish requests not always working for pages in channels. The error message “Page not found” was displayed.
Bugfix SUP-1399
The memory consumption for publishing pages that contain sorted overviews over pages when using publish cache has been reduced.
Gentics Content.Node 5.18.45
Documentation SUP-1294
The documentation of the feature Publish Cache now contains a note about when the Publish Cache needs to be cleared and how this can be done.
Bugfix SUP-1469
When using the feature publish_cache and only changing an object property of a page (without changing or manually republishing the page itself), the page was republished with the old object property value. This has been fixed now.
Bugfix SUP-1467
When deleting a folder containing objects, it could happen that the following publish process failed with an “InconsistentDataException” while checking the dirted objects, which has been fixed now.
Bugfix SUP-1502
Users with language specific edit permissions (given from roles) could see some actions in the menu for page lists, which they were not allowed to perform. Clicking on one of those menu items resulted in an error. This has been fixed now.
Bugfix SUP-1516
When dirting pages using the maintenance dialog, the publish cache of the dirted pages were not renewed. This could cause pages to be published with old content. This has been fixed now.
Bugfix SUP-1323
When using the publish cache and a page was republished with modified content, the page variants of the page were also republished, but the publish cache of the page variants were not cleared. As a result, the page variants were republished with their old content. This has been fixed now.
Bugfix SUP-1399
When using the publish cache publishing pages with big page overviews could cause OutOfMemory errors. This has been fixed now.
Bugfix SUP-861
When updating Gentics Content.Node to a newer version, the progress display didn‘t work correctly sometimes.
Bugfix SUP-1491
The automatic tomcat update failed on RHEL 5 because this system does not support the parameter “-V” of the sort command. This has been fixed.
Bugfix SUP-1485
When publishing pages - using the publish cache - with tags where the Tagtype has been deleted, an error message was printed to the log file. This error has been removed.
Gentics Content.Node 5.18.44
Bugfix SUP-1336
The internal storage of global IDs has been changed to support global IDs, that have been generated by systems with CMS Version >= 5.19.3. This enables importing of data from CMS Versions >= 5.19.3. This update might take longer, since the structure of table mappedglobalid (which can be very large) needs to be changed. After this change, it will still be possible to export data from this system and import to systems with earlier versions, unless the export contains data that originated from a system with CMS Version >= 5.19.3.
Bugfix SUP-1459
Fixed error when reading the XNL Configuration. This bug has been introduced in version 5.17.0.
Gentics Content.Node 5.18.43
Documentation SUP-1447
The REST API documentation incorrectly statet, that the nodeId for the call
/CNPortletapp/rest/file/load/{id} should be added as path parameter, instead of a
query parameter, this has been corrected now.
Bugfix SUP-1399
When using the feature publish_cache, the publish process used too much memory which probably caused OutOfMemory errors. This has been fixed now.
Bugfix SUP-1399
The Admin Info on the start screen of the CMS backend probably showed incorrect number of remaining objects during a publish process, which has been corrected now.
Bugfix SUP-1342
When a node was deleted, the entries in the publish table for pages of that node were left behind. Such entries will now be removed at the start of every publish process.
Bugfix SUP-1441
When importing a new Node containing an object with an overview, where the root folder of the new Node was selected, a NullPointerException could occur, which has been fixed now.
Gentics Content.Node 5.18.42
Bugfix SUP-1419
When using Internet Explorer, the page would scroll to the top of the currently active editable when closing the tagfill dialog. This has been fixed now.
Bugfix SUP-1339
When publishing pages with tags where the Tagtype has been deleted, an error message was printed to the log file. This error has been removed.
Gentics Content.Node 5.18.41
Bugfix 1326
Fixed pages being rendered with the wrong DOCTYPE sometimes when comparing 2 page versions and the page does not define a HTML 4 Doctype (but HTML 5 for example).
Bugfix SUP-1361
When editing links with Aloha Editor and entering data containing special URL characters (like ‘#‘) the resulting query sent to the server was incorrect. Especially when the character ‘#‘ was used, the resulting query was an unbounded recursive search for all pages, which could lead to performance problems on the server and timeout errors in the client. This has been fixed now.
Gentics Content.Node 5.18.40
When applying this update, the packaged Tomcat will be updated to version 7.0.63 which contains important security and bug fixes. You can delete the old Tomcat directory (/Node/apache-tomcat-7.0.61) after updating.
Gentics Content.Node 5.18.39
Documentation SUP-1325
Added documentation in the faq-section for the correct start order of mysql, apache and tomcat
Bugfix SUP-1303
When using Internet Explorer to insert tags into editables with a visible scrollbar, the page was scrolled to the top of the editable. This has been fixed now.
Bugfix SUP-1307
When inserting tags in tables, the delete button was missing. Also tags with script elements, could be missing all their edit buttons. These issues have been fixed.
Bugfix SUP-1235
When inserting inline tag elements, sometimes superfluous wrapper tags where inserted before and after the tag. This has been fixed.
Gentics Content.Node 5.18.38
Bugfix SUP-1068
When a folder structure is deleted, in some circumstances, templates that would neither be linked nor used any more would not be deleted but remained in the database. This has been fixed now.
Bugfix SUP-1266
When using instant publishing and publish handlers, the publish handlers were not called for deleted objects are pages that were taken offline. This has been fixed now.
Gentics Content.Node 5.18.37
Bugfix SUP-163
The update of the Java libraries while Tomcat is still running could cause errors (though Tomcat would start again cleanly after the update).
Instead of restarting Tomcat after the update, it is now stopped before updating the libraries and started again after the update is complete.
Bugfix SUP-1124
When using the feature publish_cache, the property ttype for pages would resolve to
0 instead of 10007 during the publish process. This has been fixed now.
Bugfix SUP-1126
When editing a page with the Aloha editor, the cursor would disappear in some browsers after inserting an inline tag, which prevented further editing. This has been fixed.
Bugfix SUP-601
The log entries for start and end of the publish process did not show the correct action in the log view, which has been fixed now.
Bugfix SUP-641
When the CMS was in maintenance mode users could still login via SSO. The corresponding check has been added to the SSO login, to ensure that only the user who activated maintenance mode can access the CMS backend.
Gentics Content.Node 5.18.36
Manual Change
On systems running PHP Version 5.3.9 or higher, there is a new configuration option max_input_vars which should be set to a higher number.
This setting limits the number of input variables, that can be posted to the server. The default setting (1000) prevents e.g. successful linking of templates to folders, if the folder tree shows more than 500 folders. We therefore recommend to raise the value of max_input_vars to e.g. 10000 in the file gtx_gcn_custom.ini. You have to restart the apache webserver after that. The path to this file varies between distributions:
- Suse and Debian: /etc/php5/conf.d/
- Redhat: /etc/php.d/
Bugfix SUP-918
Sometimes, handling dependencies caused errors due to stale database connections. This has been fixed now.
Bugfix SUP-1163
When exporting objects with translatable names (like tagtypes or object property definitions), the export file could contain an inconsistency due to missing translations. This subsequently caused an “Internal Error” during import. This issue has been fixed.
Bugfix SUP-1096
In cases where the publish process is interrupted (cancelled) while waiting for a semaphore to write into a contentrepository, additional information about the thread which last acquired that semaphore will now be logged.
Bugfix SUP-918
The columns for storing dirt analysis information in the backend database sometimes where too small and have been extended now.
Bugfix SUP-1056
Saving of pages that contain lot‘s of new links may take some time. During this time, the editor has no indication that the new links are currently processed and prepared to be saved. The behaviour has been changed now, so that a progress information is shown during page save and preparing new links to be saved is done much more efficient.
Gentics Content.Node 5.18.35
Bugfix SUP-1003
For parts of type “File (Upload)”, the button to upload a new file was missing and has been readded.
Bugfix SUP-876
Links to an anchor on the current page will be made absolute by the browser when they are pasted or moved within the same page. Those absolute URLs will now be fixed during saving.
Bugfix SUP-1086
Saving values with a large number of characters could result in an error. This has been fixed.
Bugfix SUP-1078
Fixed possible javascript error on the CMS start page.
Bugfix SUP-1010
When configuring a fixed pageSize for the repository browser, paging did not work as expected and has been fixed now.
Gentics Content.Node 5.18.34
Bugfix SUP-932
In rare cases a NullPointerException could occur when uploading a file. This happened if the language id in the session of the user was invalid. This has been fixed.
Gentics Content.Node 5.18.33
Security
A potential security issue, that was introduced with versions 5.18.31 and 5.19.25 has been fixed.
Gentics Content.Node 5.18.32
Bugfix SUP-787
When assigning permissions to groups, sometimes certain checkboxes were not filled correctly in some browsers. This has been fixed.
Bugfix SUP-765
Changing an object property now creates an entry in the administration logs.
Bugfix SUP-806
Automatic inbox messages that are generated when
- A page is put into the publish queue
- A page is published from the queue
- A page might contain an invalid link, because the linked page was taken offline or deleted
will now be generated in the language of the recipient, not the sender.
Bugfix SUP-985
The initial timespan of log entries to be shown in the “Logs” view has been reduced from one hour to five minutes. This reduces the number of initially shown entries, especially if the user has no paging activated.
Bugfix SUP-806
When a user with permissions restricted to channels tried to take a page offline over the REST API, the permission check was not done channel specific, which has been fixed now.
Bugfix SUP-806
When taking a page offline over the REST API, other pages will be checked for invalid links now.
Bugfix SUP-979
When saving pages with Aloha Editor, that contain links with empty HTML tags in them (like a
for instance), Internet Explorer would serialize those tags incorrectly (e.g. like
). The text of links will now always be transformed to xhtml (like the Aloha Editor dom-to-xhtml plugin would do it).

Dropped Support for Redhat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) Version 5.x because the default PHP Version (5.1) is no longer supported. See the updated compatibility list
Bugfix SUP-976
When using SiteMinder for SSO, the logged in user was always “anonymous” (without any permissions). This has been fixed now.
Gentics Content.Node 5.18.30
Bugfix SUP-977
When users with publish permission restricted to channels tried to publish pages out of the publish queue, this sometimes failed due to an incorrect permission check. This has been fixed now.
Bugfix SUP-974
When a page contained an anchor tag without href attribute, an error occurred while saving the page with Aloha Editor. This has been fixed now.
Bugfix SUP-955
For implementations using their own jQuery Version, saving the page with Aloha Editor failed with a javascript error, when the page contained at least one anchor tag. This has been fixed now.
Bugfix SUP-964
Copying of pages in channels did not work due to an incorrect permission check, if the user was restricted to that channel. This has been fixed now.
Bugfix SUP-941
When users where granted permission to view files/images through roles, these permissions were not considered during a recursive search for files/images (in the subfolders). This has been fixed now.
Gentics Content.Node 5.18.29
Enhancement
Enhanced the error handling of PHP errors. Catchable PHP errors will be also logged to the Gentics Content.Node error log now.
Bugfix SUP-826
When editing a page with Aloha Editor and changing an internal link to point to an external target, this change sometimes was not persisted when saving. This has been fixed now.
Bugfix SUP-869
When creating tables or tags at the very beginning or end of an editable, an empty paragraph will also be added (which is automatically removed if not needed), so that the cursor can be set before or after the new tag or table. Before this fix, it was necessary to deactivate and activate the editable to get the empty paragraphs.
Bugfix SUP-933
Fixed a syntax error in the gcn-fileupload plugin that caused a JavaScript error with Internet Explorer in IE7-Mode.
Bugfix SUP-930
When the publish process failed during handling of time management, the process was marked as “OK” in the scheduler. This has been fixed now.
Gentics Content.Node 5.18.28
Bugfix SUP-635
When creating a new content tag that is named automatically, a name would be selected for it, although there is already a template tag by the same name, that is NOT editable in page. This name would typically be something like your_custom_tag1. This may cause confusion or even prevent a page from being saved in the backend. The new behavior is to only use automatically generated tag names, that are not used by any templatetags associated with any of the pagevariants using the content to be edited. Collisions may still occur if localizations of the template use a different set of templatetag names and there are no corresponding page localizations.
Bugfix SUP-857
If a page was opened for editing and the editing operation was then cancelled, the page would lose its disinheriting information. This could lead to publishing problems due to inheriting inconsistencies. This has been fixed now.
Bugfix SUP-819
Image manipulation 2: When used with a custom context path, the image would disappear from the editor after resize or crop operations. This was due to a broken link, which has been fixed now.
Bugfix SUP-664
When a page is opened for editing with Aloha Editor, lot‘s of redundant AJAX calls to the REST API were made to initialize the Editor. The number of calls has been reduced now, which will minimize the overall loading time, especially for pages that contain many editables and tags.
Gentics Content.Node 5.18.27
When applying this update, the packaged Tomcat will be updated to version 7.0.61 which contains important security and bug fixes. You can delete the old Tomcat directory (/Node/apache-tomcat-7.0.54) after updating.
Documentation SUP-821
Added documentation for changing the page title of the CMS Backend
Bugfix SUP-761
When the backend apache uses the module modunique_id_ this can lead to unexpected behaviour like cms dialogues that cannot be openend, until the user‘s session is reset. This has been fixed now.
Bugfix SUP-670
It is now possible to view failed dirt events in the maintenance dialog. Failed dirt events can be removed from the dirtqueue or can be re-scheduled.
Bugfix SUP-802
When changing the language of a page in a node that does not have the original page language activated, replacing of the language code in the filename did not work. The new language code was just appended to the original one. This has been changed now: When changing the language of a page, the language code in the filename will now be replaced with the new one, even if the language is not activated in the node.
Bugfix SUP-781
When a page is modified because the tagtype of a template tag (editable in pages) was changed, this will no longer change the editor or edate of the page. Also if the page is republished in this process, the publisher and pdate will not change.
Bugfix SUP-767
When editing object properties of a template or folder, the actions to make the object properties editable in pages where missing. They have been added again.
Bugfix SUP-506
The Gentics Content.Node Javascript API has been changed, so that TagAPI objects will no longer be cached. The _data of TagAPI objects always reference the tag data in their parent (e.g. a PageAPI object), so there is no need to cache the TagAPI object as well. This fixes problems caused by the PageAPI object being refreshed in the cache, while the TagAPI objects were not refreshed, which caused them to no longer reference the tag data of the PageAPI object. The result was that changes in the TagAPI object were no longer reflected in the PageAPI object and saving the page would unintentionally restore old tag values.
Gentics Content.Node 5.18.26
Bugfix SUP-792
When creating nested object properties, the inner tag was only visible, if it was filled at least once, even if the tagtype had the option “auto-enabled” switched on. This has been fixed now. However, this will only affect new created nested object properties. Already existing object properties, that are not visible need to be filled once.
Bugfix SUP-560
Some icons have been added to the “Page” menu.
Bugfix SUP-768
gcnfileupload-plugin: Added translations for several hardcoded german UI-elements.
Bugfix SUP-774
Make the shrinktofit option for the jqGrid (the object list) in the repository browser configurable. This option can be used to make the repository browsers width bigger on smaller screens while keeping the benefits of the dynamic resizing of the column widths.
Bugfix SUP-795
The attribute name data-gcn-constructname, that exists for editing pages with the aloha editor was renamed to data-gcn-i18n-constructname. It contains the internationalized tagtype name of a tag.
Bugfix SUP-757
Links to internal pages or files that were entered with their internal URL will now correctly be transformed to tags pointing to the internal objects, instead of saving the URLs. This fixes incorrect saving of links with their internal URLs.
Bugfix SUP-772
gcnfileupload-plugin: The upload form is now reset before every use.
Bugfix SUP-791
Fixed nested “intag“ object properties not being copied to subfolders when using the backend “Apply to subfolders“ or the Rest API “tagsToSubfolders” option.
Bugfix SUP-783
When saving a page using the REST API, the status will always be set to 0 (being edited), regardless of the status flag in the posted page object.
Gentics Content.Node 5.18.25
Manual Change
The implementation of the “Aloha Link” Tagtype needs to be updated.
When linking to images (using the Aloha Link Plugin), the display of the link target in the toolbar was incorrect. The internal URL to the image was shown instead of the filename. The fix for this also requires an update of the implementation of the “Aloha Link“ Tagtype (keyword: “gtxalohapagelink”), according to the code in the Aloha Page Link Tag Description.
Security SUP-34
A vulnerability of the GenticsImageStore in the CMS backend has been fixed.
Bugfix SUP-746
When more than one handler subscribed the channel “tag.rendered”, the behaviour was unexpected: # If all handlers passed a modiied html to the callback only one of the changes was accepted # When saving a page, that contained at least two new links, not all of the links were correctly transformed to tags.
The behaviour has been fixed now. Saving pages with multiple new links works as expected and each handler will get the html, which was returned by the previous handler, so that the modifications will be cumulated and the last return html will be taken as html of the rendered tag.
Bugfix SUP-762
The page icon used to display the language in the assistant frame was different for page preview and page properties. Now, for all operations the same icon is used to display the language in the assistant.
Bugfix SUP-405
The creation of unique filenames during fileupload sometimes failed to distinguish filenames that only were different in case. This has been fixed now.
Bugfix SUP-674
The permission checks on the publish queue did not consider channel restrictions correctly. Users could see pages in the queue for all channels (but could not view the pages or approve publishing). The permission check in the queue has been fixed now.
Bugfix SUP-672
When users with permissions restricted to channels changed the binary content of channel local files, they received an error message (missing permission), although the file upload worked. This has been fixed now.
Gentics Content.Node 5.18.24
Documentation SUP-665
Content.Repositories using deprecated attribute types will now be marked in the list of Content.Repositories. Also the attributes using deprecated types will be marked in the tagmap editor. Additionally, the Gentics Content.Node Guides now contain a migration guide for changing attribute types in Content.Repositories with minimal downtime of the frontend implementation.
Bugfix SUP-654
When using SSO with CAS or JOSSO, the user‘s sessions would be reset on every login. This has been fixed now.
Bugfix SUP-341
When closing a tagfill dialog in IE >= 9 no cursor was shown when clicking into another editable. This has been fixed.
Bugfix SUP-710
Copying a page into a channel local folder was not possible and has been fixed.
Bugfix SUP-687
When parts of a construct have to be replaced (i.e. some parts have to be removed and other have to be added) while importing, this could lead to incorrectly filled default values for such constructs. This has been fixed now.
Bugfix SUP-679
The entry “Save” in the related links (in the assistant frame) of the page preview has been removed, because it suggested, that the page had not been saved properly.
Bugfix SUP-710
Users with permissions restricted to channels were not allowed to create local folders in their channels. This has been fixed now.
Bugfix SUP-101
When the tag definition of a template was changed and the change was synchronized with the pages, this could lead to database locks if users tried to lock the same pages. This has been fixed now, users trying to lock pages currently changed by the synchronization will get the page in readonly mode.
Bugfix SUP-102
Files that have no mimetype set (e.g. due to an error during the upload), will now be visible in the backend and be marked as “broken”.
Bugfix SUP-629
When editing a page with aloha editor using an older version of Internet Explorer (like IE9), clicking on menu items with unsaved changes in editables would warn the user twice about unsaved changes. When clicking on a menu item of the “page“ top menu, the page was saved, even if the user approved to leave the page with unsaved changes (twice). The behaviour has been changed now: when clicking on a “page” menu item, the page will be saved before the action is triggered. When clicking on another menu item (navigating away from the edited page), the user will get one notification about leaving the page with unsaved changes.
Gentics Content.Node 5.18.23
Bugfix
Previously, when using the language menu while a page is opened, the CMS would under certain circumstances display a page of the wrong language or even an error message. Now, the page is always either displayed in the chosen language, or the language doesn‘t change if the selected language version of the current page does not exist and the user is not allowed to create it.
Bugfix SUP-515
Fixed wrong proxy prefix for Gentics-Imagestore-URLs in frontend editing.
Bugfix SUP-602
Fixed an Internal Error while importing a modified tagtype, if the type of a part in the tagtype had been modified.
Bugfix SUP-610
When fetching an object via the REST API in edit mode, tags that were inactive, but should become active when edited were marked as being “inactive“. When the fetched object was saved back (without any changes), the tags would be set to “inactive“. This has been changed, so that tags in that state will now be marked as being “active”, if the object is fetched in edit mode.
Bugfix SUP-507
When publishing a node and its channels into the filesystem, and when localizing pages, the former inherited pages were sometimes not correctly removed from the filesystem of the channel. This has been fixed now.
Bugfix SUP-430
When an editor without publish permission tried to publish a page, all users of parent groups with publish permission were notified, even if the users were restricted to channels and were not allowed to see and publish the page in question. This has been fixed now: The node restriction is now considered when notifying users about pages to be published.
Bugfix SUP-656
When a page was saved with only changes in the content, the status of the page was not changed to “being edited”. This has been fixed now.
Bugfix SUP-448
Previously, when clicking pages in the history, the CMS would under certain circumstances not open the intended page, display an error message or in rare cases create a translation. Now, exactly the specified page will be opened, as listed in the history (same language version, same channel).
Gentics Content.Node 5.18.22
Enhancement SUP-519
When editing a page, the tool-tip of a tag now shows the tag keyword and the tagtype name instead of only the tag keyword.
Bugfix SUP-241
CAS: Fixed CAS-services not being accesible via HTTPS by adding a new $CAS_SSO[‘curlOptions‘] option that allows the configuration of CURL SSL. Read the “CAS – Central Authentication Service” page in the documentation for more information.
Bugfix SUP-585
Fixed NullPointerException when comparing page versions in a master node with multichanneling.
Bugfix SUP-522
When opening a page in preview mode of aloha editor, the history entry created in the assistant frame showed the normal page icon, but would open the page in edit mode. This has been fixed now: only opening a page in edit mode will create a history entry showing the edit icon, that will open the page in edit mode again.
Bugfix SUP-566
A possible NullPointerException during the import has been fixed.
Bugfix SUP-558
Sometimes, CSS settings of aloha editor plugins did not overwrite the core aloha editor CSS settings (due to a loading order problem), which could cause indeterministic layout problems. This has been fixed now, the core aloha editor CSS settings will now always be loaded before the plugin CSS settings, in order to allow the plugin CSS settings to overwrite the core settings.
Bugfix SUP-274
Errors that happen while rendering velocity tags will now contain more descriptive information in the server log. The name and ID of the page and tag will be logged now.
Bugfix SUP-605
When importing templates that contained tags, where the values had been changed, under special cirvumstances, the new values were not imported correctly. This has been fixed now.
Gentics Content.Node 5.18.21
Documentation SUP-524
The documentation of the feature Copy Tags has been enhanced to include configuration settings, that are necessary for the feature to work.
Gentics Content.Node 5.18.20
Security SUP-323
Permissions: When a group had permissions on an object, and all permission were removed, the permission cache was not refreshed and the group still had the previous permissions. This only happened when all permissions to an object were removed.
Security SUP-323
The permissions of object properties are now also respected by the GCN Rest API when loading or saving objects.
Bugfix SUP-480
When copying pages took longer than the configured timeout (due to high load on the server, number of copied pages or overall system performance), the user got an SGB, which suggested that copying failed, which was not the case. This has been fixed now: When copying pages takes longer than 5 seconds, the user will get a message, that the process will be continued in the background. Once copying is done, the user will receive an instant message. Additionally, when copying using the REST API, it is now possible to specify the maximum “foreground” time in milliseconds. The default value is 0, which will block the call until copying is done (which is the old behaviour).
Bugfix SUP-370
REST-API: When copying a contenttag, using page/newtag, the operation would fail for some content tags.
Bugfix SUP-187
When defining the tags in a template, it is now possible to save an updated list of tags without synchronizing the pages (by clicking the ‘Apply‘ button) or to save and synchronize the pages (by clicking the new ‘Apply and synchronize pages‘ button). Additionally, if errors occur (e.g. because some pages are currently locked by other users), the whole synchronization process does not fail (and has to be repeated), but all pages, that can be synchronized will be synchronized. If the action is triggered again (by clicking ‘Apply and synchronize pages‘ without actually changing the tag definitions, the remaining pages will be synchronized. Additionally, there is now an additional view (“Tagstate” via the template‘s top menu) that will show, how many pages are in sync or out of sync with the template regarding the editable tag definitions.
Bugfix SUP-456
When editing a page using Aloha Editor with Internet Explorer, and adding new links to the page, the click on “Save” in the assistant frame showed a message, informing the user that he was about to leave the page with unsaved changes. This has been fixed now. Additionally, when saving a page that contained new links, some additional AJAX calls to the backend were done (in the background), which caused saving to be slower than necessary. Those AJAX calls have been reduced to the necessary minimum.
Bugfix SUP-187
The algorithm to check whether a new page version must be created and to create the page version used many sql statements and therefore was inefficient. This algorithm has been changed now to be more efficient, especially when no page version must be created. This will affect actions like:
- Locking the page for editing
- Saving a page (with or without changes)
- Publishing a page
Bugfix SUP-434
Fixed newly introduced error with bugfix SUP-434 in the previous hotfix. The overview wizard could start with page 1 even if the user already made all the selections on page 1.
Bugfix SUP-434
Overview tags in pages: When editing new overview tags in pages the wizard started wrongly with page 2 when no selection was made for the object type or the selection type in page 1. This has been fixed. The wizard will now start correctly with page one if any selection is possible and hasn‘t been made.
Bugfix SUP-187
The process of saving a page has been optimized to avoid unnecessary checks, if only content, but no metadata was changed.
Bugfix SUP-323
Fixed object properties not being deleted, when passing their name in the “delete” list of the PageResource.save Rest API method.
Bugfix SUP-479-SUP-488
Changed Contentrepository DB connection pool to be more resilient in cases of reset DB Connections.
Bugfix SUP-387
When editing a page with Aloha Editor and an editable only contained a table, it was not possible to add content before or after the table. This has been fixed now: When the editable is activated, paragraphs will be created as landing areas for the cursor.
Bugfix SUP-473
Fixed output of error log message caused by debug output when rendering tags for publishing.
Bugfix SUP-418
It is now possible to change the synchronization mechanism for objects, that need to be removed from a content repository also for non-multichannelling aware contentrepository from the default differential synchronization to a full synchronization. Using the full synchronization is slower than the differential approach but is less error prone.
Bugfix SUP-401
When editing a page with Aloha Editor, the following editing actions would lead to unexpected behaviour:
- Remove a tag from an editable, where the tag itself contains an editable
- Create a new tag of the same type in the editable in a way, that the new tag would get the same name as the one deleted before
- Open the tagfill dialog to fill some data into the new tag
- Close the tagfill dialog with the “Ok” button
- Reopen the tagfill dialog of the new tag
Following these steps, the tagfill dialog would now be empty (not showing the data entered before). This problem has been fixed now, so that editing pages in the way described above will work as expected.
Gentics Content.Node 5.18.19
Bugfix SUP-450
When saving a page that contained a tag using one of the list parts (List, List (unordered), List (ordered)) the entries of the list part were merged into a single entry. The same happened, when migrating such a page with the tagtype migration, if at least one post processor was used. This has been fixed now.
Bugfix SUP-454
When custom columns were configured for the gcn-linkbrowser plugin, the display of thumbnails in the repository browser did not work any more. This has been fixed.
Bugfix SUP-309
Some problems with copying or importing templates in the backend have been fixed:
- When a template was copied into a folder of a node (not a channel), it was internally marked as belonging to a channel. This could subsequently lead to erros during the publish process.
- When templates that were incorrectly bound to a channel were exported and imported into another system,
they were incorrectly bound to a channel on the target system as well. - When a template was copied into the same folder in a channel, it was copied into the master instead.
This update will also correct incorrectly bound templates in the database.
Bugfix SUP-407
Bug in GenticsImageStore Cache: When replacing a resized image in a page that is embedded with a GIS URL, the original resized image was still visible. This has been fixed.
Gentics Content.Node 5.18.18
Bugfix SUP-307
Copying a tagmap entry between contentrepositories would fail unconditionally.
Bugfix SUP-278
Comparing Page Versions did not work correctly with Pages in localized Folders. This has been fixed.
Bugfix SUP-361-SUP-364
Connections from the database connection pool are now tested before being used.
Bugfix SUP-226
Fixed a NullpointerException when importing a page that could occur under rare circumstances.
Bugfix SUP-56
Multiple bugs fixed in page publishing:
- page.languages now only returns online pages during publishing.
- References to non-published language variants would be added in the content repository. Now, only online language variants get references in the content repository.
- References to deleted pages would not get removed from the content repository. The fix adds dependencies for referenced pages. Affected pages must be re-published for the problem to be solved.
Gentics Content.Node 5.18.17
Bugfix SUP-279
When uploading a file with a duplicate filename to a folder in a channel, the file was not automatically renamed. This has been fixed.
Bugfix SUP-297
In some cases an error could occur when accessing the CMS directly after an update has been applied. The error occurred because some mandatory tasks for i18n support were not completed.
This i18n support task was redesigned in order to avoid such problems in the future.
Bugfix SUP-285
Fixed accidentally cutting off a filename extension when uploading a new file. If the user changes the filename when uploading a new file in the CMS and the new filename has no filename extension, then the original filename extension of the input file is attached to the new filename.
Gentics Content.Node 5.18.16
Documentation SUP-170
When a tagtype contains an velocity tagpart that is editable it could lead to side effects. Improved the documentation, so that making a velocity tagpart editable is now discouraged, as it is also not supported.
Bugfix SUP-174
Implemented a workaround for the Internet Explorer 10 and 11 frame rendering issues with different document modes. GCN will force a redraw of content frames from now on in order to prevent issues with empty pages. Also fixed the upper page frame in the “translate to” page sometimes being invisible or too small.
Bugfix SUP-137
Sometimes, the tree shown to select the target folder for copying pages was rendered incompletely. This has been fixed now.
Bugfix SUP-243
The failure behaviour and logging of the publish process has been improved, in cases where committing the content repository transactions at the end of the publish process fails.
Bugfix SUP-46
When the localized copy of a page was taken offline, instant publishing would replace the page with the inherited page, instead of completely removing it from the content repository. Only the next regular publish run would correct this and remove the page from the content repository. This has been fixed now, so that instant publishing will correctly remove the page.
Gentics Content.Node 5.18.15
Bugfix SUP-42
When a contentrepository was imported, the foreignlink attribute rule of an already existing tagmap entry would not be overwritten, if it was changed. This has been fixed now.
Bugfix SUP-98
Page variants: When creating a variant of a page that has a language associated and at least one localization, multiple page variants with the same language would be created in the same channel and folder.
Gentics Content.Node 5.18.14
Bugfix SUP-164
Fixed possible NPE when checking data in contentrepositories
Bugfix SUP-73
When multiple requests to translate a given page into a specific language were sent at the same time (or in a way that a new request was sent before the previous request returned), it was possible that multiple language variants in the requested language were created for the same page. Only one of the language variants was visible in the backend, but possibly both were published. This has been fixed now. Translating pages will now be synchronized (per page), so that multiple parallel requests will only create a single language variant, which will be returned by all of those requests.
Bugfix SUP-59
Fixed documentation of AuthenticationResource to describe the proper parameters for the validate method.
Gentics Content.Node 5.18.13
Bugfix SUP-88
Fixed possible NPE when saving pages containing empty overviews
Bugfix SUP-78
When moving folder structures within master nodes of multichannelling environments, all channel local objects in that structure were pushed to the master node as well. This has been changed now. Objects within moved folder structures will now only be moved between channels, if this is necessary to maintain channel integrity.
Example:
- Folder A is moved from the master node to a channel (of the same master node).
- Page B in Folder A, which belonged to the master node is also moved to the channel (because it cannot belong to the master, when the folder does not belong to the master).
- Page C in Folder A, which belonged to the channel is not moved (already belongs to the target channel).
- Page D in Folder A, which belonged to a subchannel is also not moved, because it does not violate the channel integrity.
Bugfix RT58697
Recursively setting permissions or setting object properties might take longer and run into a timeout. In such cases, it was not perfectly clear to the user, what happened and if the requested action was successfully performed. The processes have been changed now, so that if setting the permissions or the object properties recursively takes longer than some seconds, it will be sent to the background. The user will get a message that the process is continued in the background and will get an instant message when the process is completed.
Bugfix RT58739
Running the purgeversions could possibly remove a page version, even if the content was still used by another page variant, if the page variants were not in sync. This could lead to pages being published completely empty. This has been fixed now. If any pages having page variants lack their published page version and are therefore published completely empty, they must be published again to correct the page version.
Bugfix RT58618
When an object is not changed during an import, because the local copy is identical to the imported version, the import details list will now show ‘unchanged‘ instead of ‘ignored‘ as import action. Additionally, the import details list will now also show conflicts, that existed during the import and the individual conflict setting for the imported objects.
Gentics Content.Node 5.18.12
Optional Manual Change
Java 8 Runtime Support
Java 8 JRE support for Gentics Content.Node 5.17.x and newer was added. You can update the used Java version to Server JRE 8u25 64 bit by downloading the ‘Server JRE 8‘ package and extracting it in e.g. /Node/. Update the /Node/java symlink to point to the new ‘Server JRE‘ directory. Restart the Apache Tomcat server once you finished this step using the /Node/bin/nodectl script.
Please note that is change is optional and can be omitted.
Documentation RT58712
Corrected paths for cleaning up unneccesary directories when performing the RHEL GCN package migration
Bugfix RT58735
Fixed accidentally cutting off a filename extension. If a filename is changed in the CMS in the file properties and the new filename has no filename extension, then the previous filename extension (if any) is attached to the new filename.
Gentics Content.Node 5.18.11
Bugfix RT58617
Changing a datasource with an import failed to dirt dependent objects. This has been fixed now. If the import changes entries of a datasource, dependent objects will be dirted.
Bugfix RT58672
The memory consumption of the timetrigger script (used for time based workflows) has been reduced.
Bugfix RT58651
The assignment of languages to nodes was imported with the language, but not with the node:
- if only the language was imported (without nodes), the node assignment was modified to match the assignment of the source system
- if only the node was imported (without languages), the language assignment was not modified
- if a new node was imported, that had a new language assigned, the language was not assigned to the node
The behaviour has been changed now, so that the language assignment is changed, when the node is imported.
Bugfix RT58713
Fixed curl printing debug output to error.log when the PHP curl extension is enabled.
Gentics Content.Node 5.18.10
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.
Gentics Content.Node 5.18.9
Bugfix RM14656
Login: When someone tried to log in with an empty password, GCN displayed an “Internal error“ message instead of “Bad credentials”.
Bugfix RT58709
Copying pages in multichannelling environments did not work as expected:
- When copying a page in a channel into the same folder, the page was copied into the master node (instead of into the channel)
- When copying a page having localized copies from a channel, the master pages were copied not the page variants actually visible in the channel
Those issues have been fixed now.
Gentics Content.Node 5.18.8
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 5.18.7
Apache/Tomcat AJP connector: mod_jk has been replaced by mod_proxy_ajp in the GCN package.
The installation guide for GCN has been updated. If you want to switch to mod_proxy_ajp now, you just have to replace the file “/Node/etc/apache/apache-vhost-include.conf” with the one from the latest GCN package, disable mod_jk, enable mod_proxy & mod_proxy_ajp and restart your apache.

A rendering issue in IE 10 can cause blank pages to be rendered when using framesets. Adjusted the browser compatibility list and the “disableIE7StandardsMode” feature description.
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 RT58601
A rare error in the feature resumablepublish_process_, which could cause the publish process to fail, has been fixed.
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 5.18.6
Bugfix RT58613
Sanitize filename feature: Fixed the hint message being shown, even if the feature is properly configured. Fixed handling of filenames containing dots. Fixed sanitizing of the filename extension.
Bugfix RT58613
Some bugs in the sanitize name feature have been fixed:
- When changing the standard configuration the form validation when creating a page or editing the page properties was wrong and a wrong error message was shown. Now this form validation is turned off for all custom configurations.
- When creating a page, the page filename was truncated to the maximum filename length only BEFORE the sanitizing. Due to the character replacement in the sanitizing the filename could get longer. When translating a page the new filename was cut correctly, resulting in a different filename length.
- When creating a page with a page filename that exceeds the maximum filename length, the language abbreviation could be deleted from the filename.
- When translating a page with a page filename that exceeds the maximum filename length, the filename could be wrongly truncated if the filename contains a dot “.”.
Gentics Content.Node 5.18.5
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.
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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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.
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 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 RT58573
When generating a filename from the page name, the result was empty, if the name contained only whitespace characters. Also, a filename that begins with a dot could cause problems. This has been fixed, so that in both cases the filename will begin with “1” instead.
The ‘sanitize names‘ feature now allows the configuration of the standard replacement character. Also the list of allowed characters can be extended. See: Sanitize names
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.
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 5.18.4
Documentation RT58520
Enhanced the documentation of how to migrate GCN to the new package with system distribution Apache.
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 RT58523
When rendering other tags with the velocity directory #gtx_edit() never rendered the tags in edit mode. This has been fixed now, the directory #gtx_edit() now also works for other tags.
Bugfix RT58516
When editing template properties, the file upload field always reported an error (“A file needs to be selected”) although selecting a file is not necessary. The changes made for the template were saved anyway. 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 5.18.3
Optional Manual Change
Implementation of the tagtype for the FileLink plugin maybe has to be updated
The Setup Guide of the Gentics Content.Node FileLink plugin did not explicitly state, that the part text of the tagtype must be inline editable. The documentation has been updated. If this plugin is used, the tagtype implementation must be changed accordingly.
Bugfix KB1975
Fixed that the user login didn‘t work on systems with 3rd party tools like siteminder or anything that adds additional cookies to the response headers of the Rest API.
Bugfix RT58459
Workflows: An issue was fixed which prevented trash workflows for folders from being executed correctly. Previously a trash workflow would not be able to move folders into a trash folder. Deleting of folders was not possible when the workflow was enabled. The error first occurred in GCN 5.17.11 and 5.18.0.
Bugfix RT58492
In rare cases the publish process could fail with an error like “ERROR: com.gentics.api.lib.exception.NodeException: Action WRITE_CR was initiated for object 10002.4711.99 twice” due to conflicting entries in the publish queue. This has been fixed now.
Bugfix RT58503
Sorting the items listed in the repository browser by name did not work and has been fixed now.
Gentics Content.Node 5.18.2
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 RT58484
CAS & JOSSO authentication: Fixed that the login didn‘t work and the users were stuck in an endless redirection loop.
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 5.18.1
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 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 RT58263
The update process has been changed to change the group of the PHP files to node_public, if the user node is member of that group. This fixes permission problems on systems that still use the second HTTP server for XNL modules.
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 5.18.0
Manual Change
Apache webserver with new PHP version (package migration) & Apache Tomcat 7 update
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.
