Changes with Gentics CMS 5.38.3

Date: 02.10.2020


Optional Manual Change

When the database connection pool was configured to be blocking, as suggested in the Guides, it is strongly recommended to also set the new setting pool_maxWait to a positive timeout (in ms) in order to avoid possible deadlocks in the CMS, which would set the CMS in an unusable state.
