Bugfix SUP-10563 Link to this entry

The changelog script was still executed even if the connection to the database was not available in the beginning, and the contents of the changelog_applied table could not be loaded. This has been fixed, and the script will now abort when the it cannot be determined whether a changelog entry has already been applied or not.

Editor User Interface: When using the Repository Browser and viewing a list with more items then the page-item-count, causing paging navigation to be shown, navigating to a page which is not the first page and then navigating to a subfolder the Repository Browser tried to show the same pagenumber as selected before. Fixed this by correctly refreshing pagenumber after navigation occured.

An incorrect permission check for users with permissions restricted to channels in the GenticsImageStore has been fixed.


Bugfix SUP-8985 Link to this entry

Editor User Interface: When a tag property references one or more nodes or items (e.g. files, images, folders, pages, tags) in the tag editor, it is now indicated in case selected nodes or items do not exist anymore.


Bugfix SUP-10458 Link to this entry

Editor User Interface: The startpage property of folders appeared, once set, not to be removable and still displayed after removal except the application would be reloaded. With this fix startpage indication is displayed consistently.

The data format of stored dependencies has been modified to consume less space in the database. This also fixes publishing errors caused by “Data too long for column ‘dep_prop‘ at row 1”.


Bugfix SUP-10494 Link to this entry

When using the features Attribute Dirting and Mesh ContentRepository files were not correctly dirted, when the name of the file was changed without changing the binary contents. This caused the fileName of the field “binarycontent“ being still old, while the field “name” contained the new filename.
Because the issue was caused by incorrectly stored dependency, it is necessary to republish all files, which are published into a Mesh Content.Repository in order to recalculate the dependencies.


Bugfix SUP-10506 Link to this entry

Publishing of object properties of specific folders (e.g. the root folder of the node) with a tagmap entry always used the object property of the current folder instead. This has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-9312 Link to this entry

Editor User Interface: When failing on updating items (e. g. folders), multiple error notifications were displayed, some of those redundant and/or not human-readable and thereby confusing. With this fix confusing notifications won‘t be displayed anymore.
