Announcements

  • In case you are still using cartridges: Cartridges always must be re-built against the release repository.

General

  • New Service Call GetAssets: Returns a collection of assets based on the provided filter criteria of this request. See GetAssets Documentation
  • Control Center Adaptions:
  • Added Checks and Modules menu items
  • Removed Action Processors menu item
  • Removed Generate Key Pair menu item from Cartridge section

Setup Processing

  • Fixed CATALINA_PID path to support portability.

GmCore

  • PersistenceGmSession - improved error messages.
  • StaxMarshaller - fixed escaping problem in id attribute
  • com.braintribe.gm:time-model#1.0 has been extended with a number of valueable static and default methods that allow to conveniently parse, create, stringify, compare, add, convert the matters of time.
  • Introduced annotation @GwtIncompatible in com.braintribe.gm:gm-core-api. Any class, method or field with this annotation is ignored by the GWT compiler.
  • Fixed detection if zip is an exchange package to not check for the mimeType as the mime type detections seems to differ per OS.
  • When the GmWebRpcClient receives a non-200 response, it will now throw the new HttpCommunicationException (a subclass of the previously used CommunicationException) to hold the actual status code.
  • Added LoggingAsyncCallback, a default AsyncCallback handler that just logs the result or the failure. This is a convenience when you're not interested in the actual outcome of the async call.
  • Fixed the MILLISECONDS_PER_YEAR property of Numbers as it overflowed with an Integer.
  • Added convenience methods for parsing time spans in DateTools. This also supports larger time units (e.g., month, year).
  • Increased the buffer size from 4k to 64k in IOTools.pump(InputStream,OutputStream)
  • Added log preferences to the HttpException so that the issuer of the exception can set log levels. This is interpreted by the StandardExceptionHandler.
  • Added support for re-authentication of stale user sessions in BasicRemoteGmSessionFactory.
  • Introduced support for coalescing worker jobs (i.e., they will no be triggered a second time while it is still running).
  • Fixed a missing stream close in the ToResourceWriter class.
  • Added support for generic JKWS (JSON Web Key Set) provider.
  • Added support for Amazon AWS JWT tokens (issued by AWS Cognito).
  • Added Around-/Pre-/Post-ScriptProcessors for running scripts.
  • DiagnosticPackage now contains setup assets information (as JSON), configuration folder, access data folder of cortex.
  • About page has been extended to show information about messaging, leadership- and lock-manager.
  • JDBC DCSA has been extended to keep the original filename and mime type of resources stored in BLOBs.
  • Fixed a bug JdbcDcsaStorage where a rollback was tried even if there was no DB connection available.
  • Added deletion of unused folders in FileSystemBinaryProcessor (when a Resource gets deleted).
  • Setting the domainId of CortexRequest by default to 'cortex'.
  • Increased the time interval the license is checked from 10min to once per day.
  • AbstractDocument of the document-model now also extends HasAcl (as well as Attachment of the attachment-model).
  • Fixed a bug that would assign leadership to a worker that already acted as a leader.
  • Added support for re-authorization in streaming (in RemoteResourceAccessFactory).

Wire

  • WireContext
    • fixed contract lookup when contract is resolved via a parent WireContext
    • Added a way to build a WireContext based on multiple WireModules instead of only one

SmoodAccess

  • Normalized queryProperty() evaluation to be consistent with other accesses. As a result, conditions on entity properties are possible.
  • ORDER BY aggregate function now works.
  • GMQL - changed order to GROUP BY, then ORDER BY.
  • Support for HAVING clause.

CSA

  • (D)CSA bootstrap speed optimized.

DDSA

Introduced new ServiceRequestContext - HttpStatusCodeNotification - which can enforce a custom HTTP response code when a service processor is called via our /api/v1 REST endpoint.

Tribefire ControlCenter / Explorer

  • Implemented Open Action & GotoModelPath Command
  • Added Outline metadata support within the WebReader
  • Preparation for Inline support for collection properties
  • Now using script editor directly within the GIMADialog
  • Added custom params to metadata of document requests
  • Bug Fixes, such as: correctly displaying icons in the home panel; fixed shift selection within the ThumbnailPanel; fixed blurry icons; fixed loading of absent data within the ThumbnailPanel; fixed buttons and other problems within the WebReader; fixed map related manipulation handling; fixed column sorting within the SelectionResultPanel; fixed cache for SelectList metadata; fixed scroll issues in WebReader's comments; fixed problem when uploading via dnd; fixed enum set and validation log within the GIMADialog.

Modules

  • ResourceProcessingContract introduced, TransientResourcesContract deprecated.
  • Deployables in cortex that come via module initializers have their module assigned automatically, if possible.

SecurityAspect

  • ACL - also checking the single entity property on PropertyQuery.

Hibernate Access

  • Fixing bug when manually assigning partition.
  • CompositeId - fixing entity deletion.
  • Support for HAVING clause.

Tribefire Core Functionalities

  • AssemblyImport / CSA persistence - avoiding to track manipulations with no effect (ones assigning the already assigned value)
  • Additionally to our Swagger#2.0 API exposure there are now similar endpoints that expose the same tribefire APIs as OpenAPI#3.0 documents. They can be found at /openapi/document/ or /openapi/ui and are also linked to from the landing page. tribefire.cortex:openapi-v3-setup must be part of your setup to include this functionality, which anyway is part of the standard setup.

Conversion Module

  • Setting state 'pending' for sub-jobs so that the user knows the actual state.
  • Activated callbacks even if percentage is still 0 so that the client gets the information that the job is still being processed.
  • Added support for custom font folders that will be used by the Aspose library.
  • Added word-fonts-upload REST endpoint to upload new fonts at runtime.
  • Added REST endpoints word-fonts and word-fonts-substitution-add to get/manipulate font substitutions.

  • Added possibility to provide targetExtension and targetMimetype and checking if they are actually matching.
  • Fixed support for non-UTF-8 encoded text files.
  • Reworked cloning of Jobs to improve multi-threading of the Jobs.
  • Added support for creating a table of contents (TOC) from Word files and PDF files.
  • Including TOC in the creation of documents.
  • Fixed a thread starvation problem by introducing another threadpool for secondary tasks.
  • Added support for excluding folders from cleanup.
  • Deleting old files rather based on the last modified time instead of the creation time.

Documents Module

  • Reworked the retry mechanism to reflect on the Exception / reasonCode provided by the Conversion service.
  • Fixed a bug that a Documents callback did not occur in the case of a Conversion error.
  • Added possibility for the client to send an alternative username
  • Worked on the Documents services for querying/manipulating attachments / highlights.

Elastic Module

  • Removed fuzzy search as it confuses people.
  • Reworked fulltext search to search for all words if multiple words are provided (used to search for any word before).
  • Added support for quotes to search for exact phrases.
  • When the indexing workers are blocked for any reason, the fulltext aspect gets no longer blocked by a full indexing queue.

Shiro Module

  • Added support for AWS Cognito OAuth2.
