Release Notes Sitevision 2024.01.1

Sitevision 2024.01.1 contains infrastructure updates, work status indexing and elevations support in the REST API.

Infrastructure

Improvements

  • [SV-36331] Tomcat is updated to 9.0.84
  • [SV-36313] Java Wrapper Service is updated to 3.5.54
  • [SV-36210] Remove browser-specific prefixes (-moz, -webkit, -khtml, -ms, -o) from bundled third-party CSS files to diminish payload and improve Pagespeed
  • [SV-36256] Remove usages of the obsolete ielayoutfix CSS class from the rendering templates of built-in modules. The ancient Internet Explorer CSS class was removed in the 2023.11.1 release.
  • [SV-36147] The jQuery fancyBox plugin is removed from the Sitevision distribution. Sitevision modules and functions that previously used fancybox now uses Envision image viewer.
  • [SV-35995] Introduce the pin/unpin concept in the edit UI for modules. The name and technical identifier are immutable for a pinned module. This can be used to enforce a strict name schema for data provided by the types endpoint of the REST API.

JCR Model (data/tree backend for Public API and REST API)

Updates

  • [SV-36535] Schema for the User Identity Index has been updated. This will trigger a name update and a full reindex will start shortly after first startup of Sitevision after upgrade. Note that identifier lookups/resolve via REST-API and Public API of this sv:applicationIndex Node are affected!
    • New JCR Node identifier is: 301.social-2024.01.1
    • Previous JCR Node identifier was: 301.social-2023.05.1
  • [SV-35588] A sv:userIdentity should not have to be a topic member to access a non-private sv:topic

Public API

Improvements

  • [SV-36316] NodeTypeUtil - Add metadata definition types that was missing and add new isAnyMetadataDefinitionType convenience method
  • [SV-35997] PermissionUtil.Permission - Added the MANAGE_TYPES_IDENTIFIERS and MANAGE_PINNING permissions

Bug fixes

  • [SV-35631] Fixed proper file size. First file that was uploaded to a versioned folder could falsely be denoted as empty (the length property was falsely zero). Such file could not be used via FileUtil.
