Underlying content platform

  • Added support for HEAD requests
  • DX module creation Maven archetypes have been moved to Maven Central to ease the creation process
  • Upgraded ICEpdf library to solve issue with thumbnail generation for some PDF files

  • More robust handling of exceptional cases in ReferencesHelper
  • Fixed an issue with node auto-split rules which are based on j:nodename property
  • Make the registration of FileInstall configuration more robust in case an existing one is not properly unregistered. Introduced additional thread (timer task) that is checking that current framework startup level has reached the default beginning start
  • Provided extended version of the DTD file for indexing-configuration*.xml that includes DX specific extensions
  • Upgraded to Tomcat 8.0.44, which includes newer version of the Eclipse compiler (JDT). That fixes rule compilation issue.
  • Add synrchonization monitor to module Spring context to avoid issues on fast close/refresh of the context
  • Added support for jsite parameter for Webflow requests
  • Authentication valves are now unregistered when a module is stopped
  • JCR integrity tools: corrected check for currently running operation and stop option
  • Properly shutdown thread executor in clustered implementation to assure Tomcat is shutting down smoothly

  • To prevent overloading the server, enforce maxModulesToGenerateInParallel setting everytime a module is not served from cache and release semaphore only when entire request is processed
  • Introduced monitoring of the global request rendering time. The request processing is stopped after 60 seconds (configurable) and it results in a 503 (Service unavailable) error.

Digital Experience Manager

Blog and Wiki

  • Corrected handling of file upload in blog entries and wiki articles

Cache

  • Limit the influence of specific cache request parameters (used for preview and debug purpose) on the notCacheableFragment set in the caching filter

Cluster

  • Prevent unnecessary errors/exceptions when propagating cluster events. Reduced log level to INFO for events, that could be ignored

Documentation

  • Adjusted techwiki page for LDAP Connector 7.1+: user/group attribute mappings should user "user." or "group." prefix
  • Corrected example of the jahia.properties snippet for configuring ImageMagick service in section "11.1 How-to Install ImageMagick?" of the "Configuration and fine tuning" guide
  • Techwiki: updated user password encryption section to list current DX hashing algorithms used and also provided an example on how to configure own hashing algorithm and let DX use it by default
  • Documented that Linkchecker on WebSphere may require adding certificates into truststore for HTTPS links

Edit mode

  • Improve refresh of a page in edit mode to restore its previous position
  • New page model option to ease the re-use of pages (documentation available under http://academy.jahia.com)

  • Automatically refresh left panel in edit mode after creating a menu label

  • Corrected the warning message when a page is copying and pasted under itself
  • Do not generate Require-Capability clauses for "assets" module in "default" and for "jquery" and "ckeditor" in assets module, which will avoid refreshing all the modules (due to OSGI wiring) when they are updated.
  • Fixed bad HTML detection in rich text fields, causing improper indexation of HTML code
  • Show missing reference instead of ItemNotFoundException when a content which was referenced is deleted
  • Fix type value validation constraint on content import
  • Display sub-pages under jnt:navMenuText in the publication manager

Module deployment

  • Also remove i18n property of mixin when the mixin itself is removed from a node

  • Avoid race condition during start up of the templates-system module in cluster
  • Remove module nodes of undeployed/deleted modules in default and live
  • Prevent race condition in modules with OSGi services when they are deployed simultaneously (services are using Spring OSGi declarations)
  • Prevent race condition in modules with OSGi services when they are deployed simultaneously (services are using SCR annotations)

  • Match types that allow to match by exact property value added to nodeProperty search tag
