Release Notes 4.5.4

Sitevision 4.5.4 contains various improvements and bug fixes as well as new additions to Sitevision's API.

Breaking change notice

Files uploaded to Web/RESTApps are no longer exposed as java.io.File. Instead, files on the request are exposed as the new node type sv:temporaryFile. Please be aware that apps using file uploads need to be modified and treat uploaded files as sv:temporaryFile-nodes.

Sitevision's Public API (FileUtil, ImageUtil, JSONRequester) have introduced new methods that will come in handy when working with sv:temporaryFile-nodes. Read more about the new methods in the release notes section.

This little tutorial might also be useful on how to handle file uploads in a WebApp.

Future client scripting breaking change notice

jQuery will be moved from <head> to the end of <body>. All inline client javascript must be deferred to execute after the document ready event. Read all about it here
