Bugfix SUP-11033 Link to this entry
The behaviour of importing pages has been fixed:
- Pages, which were published and modified when exported, will now not be (re)published during the import,
because the export only contains the modified version of the page, which must not be published. If the page is imported as new page, it will be offline after the import. If the page already existed on the target system, it will remain in its previous online state, but will be modified with the imported version. - Pages, which were planned and modified when exported, will now not be (re)planned. The behviour is similar to
pages, which were published and modified when exported.
Please see the Guides for further details.

Optional Manual Change
With a previous update Tomcat was updated to version 7.0.100. The newer tomcat version also makes files written to the filesystem not world readable by default. This could have impact if you need read rights for others for files written to the filesystem with filesystem publishing or if you use the filesystem attributes feature. To make files readable for all you can edit /Node/etc/env.sh and add the correct umask export UMASK="0022".

When use the Live Preview of pages with the feature “devtools” enabled, every opened Live Preview could block a thread in Tomcat for some time, even if the Live Preview was closed or refreshed. This could cause performance problems in the CMS due to missing request handlers. This has been fixed now, if the Live Preview window is closed or refreshed, the used thread in Tomcat will immediately be freed.

Gentics Content.Node 5.35.12
Manual Change
When applying this update, the packaged Tomcat will be updated to version 7.0.100 which contains important security and bug fixes. It is mandatory to add the parameters secretRequired="false" address="localhost" to the AJP connector in file /Node/tomcat/conf/server.xml before the update is applied. See the Guides for details. Be aware: The newer tomcat version also makes files written to the filesystem not world readable by default. This could have impact if you need read rights for others for files written to the filesystem with filesystem publishing or if you use the filesystem attributes feature. To make files readable for all you can edit /Node/etc/env.sh and add the correct umask export UMASK="0022". You can delete the old Tomcat directories after updating.

Bugfix SUP-9249 Link to this entry
Rendering of links to objects, which are published into a Mesh Content.Repository always rendered Mesh Links, regardless of whether the source object was also published into the same Mesh Content.Repository, or not, which caused incorrectly rendered links in some cases. The link rendering has been changed to only render Mesh Links, when the source and target object will be published into the same Mesh Project. All other cases will render static links (including the host name of the target node).

When publishing pages into a Mesh Content.Repository, the tagmap entry “content” could not be used to publish something different than the rendered page. If the tagname was e.g. changed to the name of a specific tag, instant publishing would render that tag but the regular publish process would overwrite the field with the rendered page content.
This has been fixed now.
Gentics Content.Node 5.35.9
Bugfix GTXPE-676 Link to this entry
The REST API Endpoint /perm/{perm}/{type}/{id} has been more consistent to support numerical and alphabetical object types.
Some REST API Endpoints for getting object lists have been extended to optionally return the permissions of the current user on the returned items.
Bugfix SUP-9235 Link to this entry
When publishing into a Mesh Content.Repository, the CMS would detect irrelevant differences between the schemas in Mesh and the expected schemas. This caused unnecessary schema updates with following schema migrations. In some cases, the changes could not be applied, causing the schema updates to be done on every publish process.
The mechanism to find differences in the schema definitions has been fixed to ignore irrelevant changes.

Link to this entryOptional Manual Change
On some installations, we noticed that on Redhat 7.7 systems, the genticscms.service CMS systemd startup script produced errors when starting the cms. This happened because the specified pid file belongs to a diffent user (node) which is not allowed, at least on newer Redhat systems. If your system is affected you need to adapt the genticscms.service startup script by adding the line User=node in the [Service] section and reload systemd with systemctl daemon-reload.
Bugfix SUP-8678 Link to this entry
When inline editable parts are included into the template of a Velocity tag using the node-Notation, the special VTL characters # and $ will now be escaped (using the escape tool of the velocitytools imp). This ensures that content entered into the inline editable parts will not be interpreted as Velocity code, but will be rendered “as is”.
Note, that using node-Notation in Velocity templates is discouraged, consult the Guides for details.

When a new page was created, special characters in the automatically generated filename were automatically replaced by the configured standard sanitize replacement character. The default is “-“. If there were multiple special characters to be replaced this could lead to multiple replacement characters in the filename.
Example filename:

- sanitized: “Infos — Important-.pdf“
This has been enhanced so that multiple special characters will only be replaced by one replacement character:
- new sanitized: “Infos-Important-.pdf”
