Bugfix SUP-8998 Link to this entry

The endpoints for advanced search (using elasticsearch) did not support paging properly. Due to permission constraints, the number of returned hits was possibly smaller than the given pagesize, even if more valid hits would have been available. Also the returned total hit size was possibly higher than the valid total hit size. The implementation has been changed to properly consider permissions now, so that the number of returned hits and the total hit size are correct now.
This change requires indexing of permission properties, which will be done at the first start of the CMS after the update.


Bugfix IV-218 Link to this entry

  • The index maintenance did not consider objects in the wastebin when showing the number of “total” objects, although those objects should also be indexed.
  • Indexing of encrypted documents failed. Encrypted documents will now be indexed without their content.
  • Indexing has been made more resilient against CMS restarts. If the CMS is restarted while indexing operations are still pending, those operations will automatically be executed after the restart.
  • The index maintenance will now also show the number of pending documents per index.

Bugfix SUP-11763 Link to this entry

Page previews in the CMS for users with restricted channel permissions possibly incorrectly showed the “no permission” replacement images for inherited images in the page due to an incorrect permission check. This has been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-11578 Link to this entry

When multiple nodes having different settings for “Publish Directory Segment“ are assigned to the same Mesh ContentRepository, the publish process and the “Check” action on the ContentRepository will now fail. See also the guides for details.


Bugfix SUP-11320 Link to this entry

When publishing into the filesystem and having the setting “publish directory segments” activated for the node, GenticsImageStore images were not generated. This has been fixed. Also there were some inconsistencies in the publish paths, when publishing both into the filesystem and a Mesh ContentRepository, which have been resolved.


Bugfix SUP-10990 Link to this entry

Publishing into Mesh ContentRepositories could fail, if pages or files changed filenames in a way that if the objects were written to the Mesh ContentRepository in the “wrong” order would result in a (temporary) uniqueness conflict. The publish process has been modified to better handle such situations.


Bugfix SUP-11604 Link to this entry

When localizing published (and possibly modified) pages, the exact page status of the localized copy was unclear: Although the localized copy appeared to be “offline”, in reality, the inherited page was still published for the channel. The behaviour of localizing pages has been changed, so that the localized copy will now reflect the current online and modification status of the former inherited page:

  • If the inherited page was online and not modified, the localized page will also be online.
  • If the inherited page was online and modified, the localized page will also be online and
    modified (and will have two versions).

Bugfix SUP-11573 Link to this entry

The preview of images, which are resized in the CMS using the GenticsImageStore will now be rendered more efficiently. Requests to resize images, which the user is not allowed to see will now get a 403 response, instead of a replacement image. This also fixes the issue where resized replacement images were incorrectly cached and returned also to users that have permission to view the images.


Gentics CMS 5.39.7


Bugfix SUP-11440 Link to this entry

The check for inconsistencies of ContentRepository entries will now also consider differences in the elasticsearch settings.

When applying this update, the packaged Tomcat will be updated to version 9.0.37. The update will try to update the Tomcat configuration (/Node/tomcat/conf/server.xml) by removing the line
 <Listener className="org.apache.catalina.core.JasperListener"/> 
which is not needed any more and would cause the CMS to fail starting. If this automatic modification of server.xml fails, and the CMS does not start properly after the update, the Tomcat configuration files should be checked for necessary changes due to the update from Tomcat 7 to Tomcat 9.
