Gentics CMP 8.2 Changelog Summary

Editor User Interface: An unnecessary request of updating the folder breadcrumbs on every change in an editor has been removed, eliminating resources waste.

A possible NullPointerException during the publish process has been fixed.

Editor User Interface: Fixed the editing of select options in forms.

Editor User Interface: Fixed an issue where it was not possible to save the properties of a page when the user had no permissions to view templates.

Editor User Interface: Updated the way breadcrumbs are displayed for searched elements, to be easier readable.

Resolving properties using the .get() notation in a velocity part type or a
handlebars helpe did not work and has been fixed.

Editor User Interface: When editing a form, the label of a element will be updated while editing again, and does not have to wait until the form has been saved.

When a new template tag (not editable in pages) was created, pages were not dirted, even if they were published with a tagmap entry referencing that tag.
This has been fixed.

Form Generator: Now the user input of form element values is trimmed against spaces and caret returns. This also means no empty value is allowed for the form element.

Editor User Interface: Updated the loading of users to only be done when required.

Editor UI: Fixed an issue with editing link information. For external links or links to sections on the same page, the anchor was not stored with the link until the page was saved.

Core: If in a multilanguage node a page language encoding is set either to `PATH` or `FILENAME`, and the page‘s language has been switched through the object properties,
it is gotten duplicated on being published to Mesh, keeping the old language variant around. This has been fixed.

Editor UI: Fixes an issue while pasting link tags, that caused an error in the JavaScript console.

Editor UI: Fixes an issue where the Editor UI sometimes only showed a blank page after closing edit mode.

Editor User Interface: Scheduled page and form time-management settings can now be removed.

Administrator User Interface: The management of template folders has been fixed.

Editor User Interface: Fixed the display of elements when user information was missing.

Editor User Interface: The indicators for active/inactive object properties were swapped and have been fixed now.

Fixes an error when adding an object property to a devtools package. The object property was still added to the package but a general backend error message was shown and the list was not updated. This has been fixed.

The usage information for pages possibly returned incorrectly high counts.
This has been fixe.

Editor UI: Removed the publish actions for inherited objects since these cannot be published.

Fixed a validation issue that prevented copy & paste of links.

In cases where a scheduler execution finished (successful or with an error) during unavailability of the
backend database the execution could not be marked as finished. This caused the scheduler to no start any
more executions until the CMS was restartet.
The behaviour has been improved so that the scheduler will no mark the execution as finished as soon as the
backend database is available.

Administrator User Interface: Sorting of the construct categories has been fixed.

Administrator UI: Mesh browser opens the editor for the multilingual item (page/image/file) inconsistently, so that its particular language variant could have never been reached. This has been fixed.

Editor UI: The Rich Text feature ignores text input changes, if there are no rich test elements added or removed, This has been fixed.

Editor User Interface: Selecting elements in an Overview with sticky channel enabled did not correctly save the channel elements were selected from. This has been fixed.

Some dependencies have been updated:

• Jetty: 12.0.25

Editor User Interface: The initial loading of a folder has been refactored, eliminating several race conditions on loading different folder data parts.

Editor User Interface: Forms will now always correctly load when switching nodes or when logging into for the first time.

Editor User Interface: When saving objects with a “published“ state (like pages and forms) from the properties dialog,
the save notification will now also show a “Publish” button to immediately publish the modified object.

Editor User Interface: Fixed the selection handling when interacting with the toolbar in the edit mode. After interacting with a toolbar element, it‘ll no longer scroll, unless the edited or inserted element is not visible.

Editor: Now the pagination and items-per-page count are kept after doing various actions with the distinct item.

Editor User Interface: When editing pages, the construct categories will now be shown in the defined order.

Editor User Interface: Editors no longer need administration privileges to see the construct categories when editing pages.

Editor User Interface: When opening a page for editing, sometimes some constructs were available before an editable was activated.
This has been fixed now, so that no constructs will be available before an editable is activated by clicking into it.

When stopping a publish process, and delaying objects, the following publish process would sometimes
also publish the delayed objects. This has been fixed now.

Editor User Interface: The handling of the asset-management configuration has been fixed.

Editor User Interface: Fixed The context menu of a page to be always unlocked.

REST API: The endpoint to get construct categories will only have the constructs embedded when the parameter embed=constructs is given.

REST API: The endpoint to get a list of construct categories has new query parameters pageId and nodeId
to restrict the returned construct categories to the ones that have at least one construct which is assigned to the given node.

REST API: The performance of getting lists of constructs or construct categories has been improved. This also improves the performance
of opening pages for editing in the Editor User Interface on systems with many constructs.

REST API: When getting constructs with their construct category embedded, the category will no longer have its constructs embedded

Editor User Interface: Editing of forms has been updated to correctly display referenced pages.

Editor User Interface: When editing a page, the page list will no longer lock onto the currently open page and allows for regular browsing.

Updated Aloha-Editor due to a regression that caused Aloha-Editor to not load properly.

User Interface: Fixed an issue where channels would always display the root node as the parent, which is not the case for more deeply nested inheritances.

Administrator User Interface: Added hostname validation to node properties, and the node creation modal will not close the modal on errors, to prevent losing entered form data.

User Interface: Modals which lock user-input will properly unlock on error. Modals with user-input will not automatically close on error, to prevent user-input data loss.

Mesh: The proxy now correctly processes Mesh calls, if they contain a `HTTPOnly` cookie setting.

Administrator User Interface: Fixed an issue when creating a new Checkbox TagPart, where during crating the default value could not be set.

Editor User Interface: When editing a form, you may now only add elements via drag and drop. Clicking on the element on the right menu will not add it to the form any more.

Administrator User Interface: Validation of TagPart order has been fixed. Additionally, styling for inputs which are invalid have been updated to show the status correctly.

User Interface: If the option values, sent to the select control, are numeric and start with zero, the very first one is never displayed, if being picked. This has been fixed.

Editor User Interface: Fixed an issue in the edit-mode, where the state of the control buttons would not always update correctly.

Editor User Interface: Inserting a tag into a page now remembers the position correctly and also shows a more detailed placeholder.

Administrator User Interface: The modals for creating new entities will now all show a loading indicator
during the request to add the entity in the backend. This will prevent involuntary creation of duplicates (by clicking the “create” button multiple times).

Editor User Interface: The selection handling of the tabs while editing a page has been improved.

Administrator User Interface: The list of groups of a user now has a button “Assign user to Groups”
which opens the modal for assignment of the user to groups.

Administrator User Interface: The list of groups of a user allowed to perform the actions for creating subgroups, moving groups and
even deleting groups. This was confusing and has been removed.

Editor User Interface: Improved loading indication when searching or when browsing content.

Editor User Interface: The pagination will now display the correct amount of items which have been configured.

Administrator User Interface: Fixed an issue where the assigned users of a group would not refresh when switching between details of a group.

Administrator User Interface: When changing the language in the Mesh Browser, the content will be correctly reloaded to dipslay the content in the new language.

forms.

Administrator User Interface: Fixed an issue where changing the language in the mesh browser would change the UI language as well.

Now an information about an image exceeding the dimension limits contains IDs and a name of this image.

The preview for a modified tag was not rendered correctly (did not show the modified, but the original content),
when the tag rendered the modified part by referencing the text attribute of that part.
This has been fixed.

Database records with empty uuid could lead to NullPointerExceptions during various actions.
This has been modified so that the action involving the empty uuid will succeed and a warning will be logged.

Editor User Interface: When creating a new folder, the “description“ field showed the
dummy content “initial-unset-value”. This has been fixed now.

Editor User Interface: Fixed visual artifacts which could occur when opening the tag-editor.

Administrator User Interface: Fixed the formatting of durations in the scheduler module.

Possible NullPointerExceptions during sorting of elements (e.g. when rendering overviews) have been fixed.

the flag was only changed for the direct child channels, but not for subchannels.
This has been fixed now.

Objects, which were disinherited from channels or excluded from inheritance where not always
properly removed from the branches of the Mesh Content.Repository.
This has been fixed.

When rendering overviews with sticky channel and the feature “dsfallback” enabled,
the objects rendered in the overview were not always correct, this has been fixed.

Editor User Interface: When publishing pages or taking pages offline, the messages shown to the user will
now be more explicit about whether the page has been immediately been written to or removed from the Content.Repository (when instant publishing is used)
or the page has just been set into the requested state (which will take effect with the next regular publish process).

When a node published into a Content.Repository with instant publishing enabled, operations which modified objects that should be published into the
Content.Repository would fail with an internal server error, if the Content.Repository was currently not available or improperly set up.
This has been fixed. While instant publishing itself will not be possible in such cases, the originating operation will succeed now.

Administrator User Interface: Several issues with the node properties dialog have been fixed:

Resolving of page.languageset.pages.[code] did not work any more and has been fixed.

Administrator User Interface: The label “Derives from …” which is shown in the node properties for channels
will no longer disappear when a property is modified.

if the Editor User Interface was accessed with this parameter.

A column in the table dependencymap2 has been increase to avoid SQL errors during the publish process.
The update to this CMS version might therefore take longer than usual.

Administrator User Interface: Now the display/segment/URL field pickers from the schema editor function correctly, being filled with the field values to pick from.

Administrator User Interface: The behaviour of cancelling the publish process has been improved.

still running after 10 seconds, a warning will be shown and stack traces of all publisher related threads will
be logged to the server log.

Administrator User Interface: It is now possible to change the keyword of a construct and the keyword of a part in a construct.

The default log level for the logger ‘org.eclipse.jetty‘ has been changed to ‘warn‘ to log errors
that occur in servlet filters (e.g. used for single-sign-on).
This change will only take effect, if no custom nodelog.yml file is present. If a custom nodelog.yml file
is used, it is recommended to set the log level of ‘org.eclipse.jetty‘ to at least ‘warn‘ there.

The keycloak integration filter, which is used for handling SSO via Keycloak will now log
a more specific error message, if SSO fails because the JWT does not contain the required “preferred_username“ claim.
Also the Guides:“https://www.gentics.com/Content.Node/cmp8/guides/rest_auth.html#sso-with-keycloak” for SSO Keycloak now
mention the required and optional JWT claims.

Administrator User Interface: Fixed an impossibility of expanding contents of a folder in the content picker dialog, if this folder has no subfolders.

When importing an object property definition from a devtool package, where the object property definition
does not have a description set, the description would be set to a number instead of an empty string.
This has been fixed.

Administrator User Interface: It is now possible to change the task of an existing scheduler schedule.

Administrator User Interface: When creating a node, languages have to be specified in order to be allowed to create the node.

Administrator User Interface: Moving of user groups sometimes incorrectly failed with a permission error which has been fixed.

during startup.

Administrator User Interface: Assignment of multiple templates to nodes or folders always failed with some
error messages (insufficient permissions). This has been fixed.

Editor User Interface: The link-checker in edit-mode has been updated to work with tags correctly. It requires a configuration for constructs to opt in tagtypeWhitelist – to enable it for specified constructs.

When startup of the http server fails (e.g. due to configuration errors), the process will now terminate
after the error log is written, instead of keep running in an unreponsive state.

Administrator User Interface: Fixed the editing of template object-properties.

Users will no longer be able to publish objects (or put them into the queue) if they do not have at least view and edit permission on the object.

The version definition for the npm packages have been fixed to allow correct installation.

Fixes an error when listing nodes in a setup with channels when the multichannelling feature has been disabled.

Content Staging: Now the content staging information of versioned objects contains an online status and scheduled offline timestamp, if applicable.
On an import, the node object is taken offline, either immediately, or on a schedule, according to this information.

Editor User Interface: When updating object-properties and switching between them, the correct value will now be used/displayed.
