tribefire 2.0 - 08/11/2019

General

Note that for this release cartridges must be re-built against the release repository. This will be fixed in the future versions of tribefire.

• Setup Access respects TribefireModules now.
• Cleaned up asset test-artifacts and deprecates assets in tribefire.extension.setup group

Setup Processing

Command setup-local-tomcat-platform

• packageBaseDir defaults to installationPath/package now instead of Java's temp directory with a subfolder package.
• For consistency reasons, term master turned into tribefire-master. You can find this term in the resulting package from package-platform-setup. Also, the master container within packaged-platform-setup.json is called tribefire-master now.

Jinni

• Jinni now fails in case --exclusiveSettings points to a non-existing path.
• You can pass parameters to jinni-update.bat/sh now the same way as you work with bin/jinni.bat/sh (e.g.: jinni-update : options --exclusiveSettings /path/settings.xml).
• Internal usages of Malaclypse now fail if a dependency cannot be resolved, rather than just log the information and continue.
• Fixing jinni-update.sh, if only anybody used it...

Templates

Deprecated requests from com.braintribe.devrock.templates group are removed:

• create-common-artifact (use create-common instead)
• create-gm-api-artifact (use create-gm-api instead)
• create-integration-test-artifact (use create-integration-test instead)
• create-library-artifact (use create-library instead)
• create-parent-artifact (use create-parent instead)
• create-template-artifact (use create-template instead)
• create-unit-test-artifact (use create-unit-test instead)

GmCore

• Introduced marker interface ModelSkeletonCompatible to mark metadata which can be placed on model elements of a skeleton.
• SMOOD robustness improved (related to index updating and diamond hierarchy - super unlikely to have ever happened, but still).
• Introducing ResourceWriterBuilder, a WriterBuilder<Resource> implementation based on StreamPipes. See TransientResourcesContract#resourceBuilder().
• ITW now supports the gm.ownCl system property, which instructs the ITW to load all generated classes with it's own class-loader. No more Jinni warnings with Java 9+.

CSA

• ResetCollaborativePersistence added.
• GMML parser error handling re-worked.
• GetCollaborativeInitializationIssues added.
• Default configuration for CSA access now reads the persisted data leniently, tracks the errors, and a summary of all errors is available via GetCollaborativeInitializationIssues request.

DDSA

No updates.

Tribefire ControlCenter / Explorer

• General BugFixing and styling improvements.
• Reworked and improved AssemblyPanel (AP) and ThumbnailPanel (TP) selection handling.
• Improved Profilling Handling.
• Reworked and improved GIMA styling and overall operation.
• Improved possibility for style customization by exporting new CSS style names.
• Added support for files DnD.
• Added support for custom Open Actions.
• Improved Resources information display.
• Improved handling of template actions for cases where only one variable exists.
• Improved file upload handling (with the possibility to cancel).
• Added a way to make properties have a list of possible values to be used in the client.
• Added validation within TemplateGIMA.
• Improved performance when using query actions.
• Prepared initial support for the AutoCommit feature.
• Enabled dynamic configuration of application favIcon and title.

Modules

• Hardwired binding re-worked (heavily improved / simplified).
• Adding lifecycle methods for modules (onBeforeBindnig, onAfterBindnig).
• Module can declare forbiddenDeps, patters where matching artifacts from other modules cannot be promoted to the main classpath (and thus become visible from the module's class-loader).

Hibernate Access

• Tests - base implementation using mocked sessionFactories/sessions/transactions to allow fast cleanup between tests + basic tests added.
• Fixing support for multiple partitions.
• Bugfixes for CompositeId.
• Improved support for entitySignature function.

Tribefire Core Functionalities

• Diagnostic package gets encrypted now for security reasons (also obfuscating properties that might contain confidential information).
• Platform Reflection has been extended with installed Fonts (for Conversion diagnostics).
• Execution Persistence Refactoring, including clean-up functionality.
