Gentics CMS 5.45.35

Bugfix SUP-16324 Link to this entry

Editor User Inferface: When using the Link Checker and an invalid external link is changed to an internal link, the marking of the link was not removed (the link was still shown as invalid).

Bugfix SUP-16396 Link to this entry

Administrator User Interface: The loading of logs has been changed to be paginated on the server side, to reduce resource requirements on the backend.

Gentics CMS 5.45.34

Bugfix SUP-15059 Link to this entry

Bugfix SUP-15659 Link to this entry

Updating object property definitions over the REST API failed with an internal error, if not all attributes were sent. This has been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-16344 Link to this entry

Due to an incorrect permission check, removing a previously set “publish at“ or “offline at” time did not always work for users with permissions restricted to certain channels/nodes. The permission check has been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-16344 Link to this entry

If removing a “publish at“ or “offline at” time was denied due to insufficient permissions, the request still succeeded and no appropriate message was shown to the user. This has been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-16356 Link to this entry

Moving a page into another node will no longer be possible, if the page has variants in languages, which are not activated in the target node. The only exception is when moving a page with a single language into a node, that does not have languages at all (in this case, the page will also have no language) or when moving a page without a language into a node with languages (the page will get the first assigned language of the target node). If a page is copied into another node, only the language variants with languages, which are activated in the target node, will be copied. If no language variant of the page is activated in the target node, the selected language variant will be copied and will get the first assigned language of the target node.

Bugfix SUP-16369 Link to this entry

The version of the Mesh REST Client has been updated to 1.10.26.

Gentics CMS 5.45.32

Bugfix SUP-16226 Link to this entry

Random actions on a construct with a part with missing PartType were throwing NullPointerException with no meaningful description. This has been fixed.

Gentics CMS 5.45.31

Bugfix SUP-15453 Link to this entry

Administration User Interface: The error message, which is shown when a construct cannot be deleted, because it is still in use, has been improved.

Bugfix SUP-16187 Link to this entry

  • GET /template/{id}/nodes

Bugfix SUP-16045 Link to this entry

Administrator User Interface: The permission lookup for the (DevTool) Package Module and the Templates Module have been corrected.

Bugfix SUP-16080 Link to this entry

Editor User Interface: The preselection of templates while creating language variants of pages has been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-16072 Link to this entry

The logging for publish runs has been improved to include the durations for writing objects into a Mesh Content.Repository and also the waiting time for putting items into the internal queue.

Bugfix SUP-16072 Link to this entry

Publishing into a Mesh Content.Repository has been optimized to use fewer requests to read roles from Mesh or set permissions on roles.

Gentics CMS 5.45.28

Bugfix SUP-15727 Link to this entry

The uniquess check for URLs did not consider the page publish directory of nodes/channels when checking nice URLs. This could result in duplicate URLs, which would cause subsequent errors. The check has been fixed. Possibly existing duplicate URLs have to be fixed manually in the CMS.

Bugfix SUP-15727 Link to this entry

The paths for publishing into the filesystem were not correct when using non-empty node publish directories. For published nice URLs, the node publish directory was not used at all. If the publish path should contain the language code, the language code was inserted into the path before the node publish directory, instead of after it.

Gentics CMS 5.45.27

Bugfix SUP-16062 Link to this entry

Publishing into a Mesh Content.Repository with “project per node” disabled might fail with a NullPointerException, if e.g. pages were taken offline and re-published between two publish runs. This has been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-16042 Link to this entry

Administration User Interface: Several modules failed to refresh entity lists when entities were created, modified or deleted and have been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-15906 Link to this entry

Administrator User Interface: Loading of template lists in the template module have been defered to when a node has been opened at least once. This prevents loading all templates of all nodes once the module has been opened to reduce the resource footprint.

Gentics CMS 5.45.26

Enhancement SUP-15901 Link to this entry

The GCMSUI Page API and the Custom Tag/TagProperty Editor API have been extended to open a file upload modal. Additionally, the Custom Tag/TagProperty Editor API now also has dedicated functions for calls to the REST API.

Bugfix SUP-15803 Link to this entry

Editor User Interface: The repository browser for forms always showed the forms from the selected folder including all subfolders, even if no search phrase was entered. This has been fixed to be consistent with the repository browser for other types: When no search phrase is entered, only the forms of the selected folder will be shown.

Bugfix SUP-16037 Link to this entry

Editor User Interface: Changing list settings with a checkbox had inconsistent behaviour which sometimes didn‘t save the setting correctly.

Bugfix SUP-16029 Link to this entry

Scheduling tasks with intervals behaved differently than the old scheduler: While the old scheduler always calculated the intervals from the start time, the new scheduler calculated from the last execution. This is unexpected, because when for example a task should be executed (automatically) once a day at 3 AM, a manual execution of the task would break the start time (next automatic execution would be one day after the last manual exection, not necessarily at 3 AM the following day). The behaviour of the scheduler has now been changed to the behaviour of the old scheduler.

Bugfix SUP-16066 Link to this entry

If a schedule was set up to follow after another schedule, and the followed scheduled failed with an exit code bigger than 127, further scheduling failed with an internal error. This has been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-15965 Link to this entry

Adds check if the publish dir is empty for a folder create or save request when publish dir segments is active. An empty publish dir segment is only valid for the root folder of a node.

Gentics CMS 5.45.25

Bugfix SUP-15945 Link to this entry

Execution of external tasks in the scheduler has been improved: stdout and stderr of the executed command (script) will now not be buffered, but will be redirected to log files. This fixes problems with commands that create lots of output (e.g. curl, if the request runs for a long time), which could cause some executions to hang forever. Additionally, the display of scheduler executions has been improved:

  • Running scheduler tasks will now be shown as “Running“ (instead of “Failed”)
  • Running scheduler tasks will now show the current duration instead of 0

Gentics CMS 5.45.24

Bugfix SUP-15732 Link to this entry

The migration of old scheduler tasks to the new scheduler has been made more robust.

Bugfix SUP-15526 Link to this entry

Editor User Interface: Selected Items in an Overview are now being correctly loaded in the context of the Node/Channel the page is currently in. Additionally fixed the case where items which couldn‘t be loaded would not be displayed at all.

Bugfix SUP-15727 Link to this entry

When publishing into a Mesh CR with instant publishing enabled, it could happen that objects, which were published and then deleted into the wastebin between two regular publish runs where not removed from Mesh. This could lead to conflicts during subsequent publish runs, if objects with the same publish path should be published afterwards. This has been fixed.

Gentics CMS 5.45.7

Bugfix SUP-14946 Link to this entry

The implementation hashes in content packges for templates and constructs were possibly dependent on references to content elements (like nodes, pages, images, files, ...). This has been changed so that those references will not be considered, when calculating the implementation hashes. As a consequence, content packages which were created on systems without this fix will most likely contain different implementation hashes and will not be importable on systems with this fix.

Makes sure that object properties which were automatically filled via a POST /rest/file/create request, are also enabled so that they can be used in Velocity templates.

Bugfix SUP-14946 Link to this entry

The implementation hashes in content packges for templates and constructs were possibly dependent on the indeterministic ordering of elements, which could cause them to be different on different systems, even if the underlying implementation was identical. This has been changed so that lists of elements will be ordered first, before calculating the implementation hashes. As a consequence, content packages which were created on systems without this fix will most likely contain different implementation hashes and will not be importable on systems with this fix.

Bugfix SUP-14946 Link to this entry

A possible NullPointerException when exporting elements containing overviews to a content package was been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-14946 Link to this entry

Calling the endpoints

  • GET /admin/publishInfo
  • GET /admin/content/publishqueue

might cause long running queries in the database, if many objects have been marked for publishing. To avoid high resource consumption, if those endpoints are called multiple times, the information will no longer be fetched from the database on each request, but will be periodically fetched in a background job. The delay between subsequent jobs can be configured in milliseconds with the configuration setting $PUBLISH_QUEUE_STATS[“refresh_delay”], which defaults to 60000 ms (one minute).

Manual Change

The scheduler has been migrated from PHP (running in Apache, triggered by a cronjob) to Java (running in the JVM, triggered internally). During the update process, all existing scheduler tasks will be automatically migrated to the new scheduler. For safety reasons, the scheduler will be suspended right after the update, so that the migrated tasks can be checked for correctness and completeness first.

For further details, see the Guides.

Manual Change

Some Part Types have been deprecated and can not be used in the Admin UI:

Link to this entry

  • Text/HTML
  • HTML
  • Text (short)
  • Text/HTML (long)
  • Tag (page)
  • List
  • List (unordered)
  • List (ordered)
  • Tag (template)
  • Breadcrumb
  • Navigation
  • HTML (custom form)
  • Text (custom form)
  • File (upload)

Optional Manual Change

Deprecated urls of Editor User Interface (/.Node/adminui) and Administration User Interface (/.Node/ui) are now redirected. When using these old urls, make sure you update your configurations to the new ones. Using the deprecated URL can cause problems related to configurations and files in `/customer-config`-folder, being an additional source of errors in troubleshooting and shall therefore not be used.
