Announcements

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

General

  • Fixed logo for tribefire documentation
  • Corrected .project files in tribefire.extension.setup group (based on new syntax defined in COREPA-399)

Model Quality

  • enums in models implement now EnumBase in the following groups
    • com.braintribe.gm
    • tribefire.cortex
    • tribefire.gwt.common
    • com.braintribe.gm.ux
  • added model archetype to pom.xml files

GM Core

  • Added EntityHashing support for GenericEntity in com.braintribe.gm:gm-core-commons. This can be used to create hashes for single or multiple entities based on their scalar property values.
  • ITW - toString/toSelectiveInformation methods are handled more leniently - if the template references an invalid property, the expression will be used verbatim, rather than throwing an exception.

Ux Assets

  • improved JavaScript interoperability by placing JsInterop annotations and managing js dependencies
  • Js Projects can now have multiple source folders that can be automatically symbolically linked under the lib folder when calling assemble-js-deps

Marshalling

  • fixed problem in YamlMarshaller that produced incorrect entities when there where no properties to be written

Setup Processing

  • Only writing ux-modules.yaml file in case ux-assets are in place
  • Fixed concurrency issue when handling and adding requestors (platform asset resolving)
  • PlatformAssetResolution changed its internal indexing to respect full version and to be prepared for major ranges
  • fixed license globalId assignment in LicensePriming asset processing

About / Platform Reflection

  • Moved the deployables from the About page to a separate page (to limit the sheer size of the About page)
  • Fixed a NaN computation in the platform reflection processing
  • Made the PlatformReflectionRequest an AuthorizedRequest
  • About page now fully supports the platform reflection of all nodes in a cluster
  • Changed the DDRA mapping of GetThreadDump from "thread-dump" to "threaddump" to harmonize mappings

Platform

  • Added custom properties to OpenUserSession request. Those properties will be added to the user session.
  • Fixed an issue when resolving absence information in the CrudExpertAccess (did not store the resolve value)
  • Added a convenience method to InstanceId to parse a String
  • When evaluating a MulticastRequest, the session ID will be pushed to the AttributeContexts
  • Added the ExecuteAuthorized interface to wrap non-Authorizable ServiceRequests to maintain the session ID
  • Fixed the serialization of the InstanceId when used with ActiveMQ

DCSA

  • Introduced dcsa-analysis-module - module that (for now only) allows importing a downloaded shared storage to a local DB

SmartAccess

  • Fixed handling of induced manipulations where induced values were entities (hasn't work at all)

ACL

  • Introduced AclSelector and AclCriterion (traversing) and implemented experts for their evaluation

Streaming

  • Moved caching functionality to the AbstractBinaryProcessor so that all binary processor now provide caching functionality
  • Fixed the ResourceDownloadProcessor to also allow the download of subclasses of Resources

Processing Engine

  • Introduced ProcessDefinitionExpertEditor in tribefire.cortex:pd-expert-editor that helps to link experts (e.g. TransitionProcessor, ConditionProcessor) to an existing ProcessDefinition. This can be helpful in cortex initializers.

Conversion

  • Made the "targetFormat" property in ImageSpecification deprecated and added "format".
  • Added service to replace text/regex in textual and doxc/docx files
  • Added support for text highlighting for some well-known file types (e.g. JSON, YAML, ...)

Authentication / Authorization

  • Added support for shared states across nodes in a cluster to allow OpenID authentication
  • Allowing an external authentication source to be the sole source of roles for a user
  • Adding specified user OpenID profile data to the user session

AWS S3 Integration

  • Preventing the health check to fail when the listing of S3 buckets is not allowed
  • Fixed a problem when the browser sends -1 as the stream range end
  • Added sanity checks of the configuration before deploying an S3 connection
  • Added the possibility to specify the size of the connection pool in an S3 connection
  • Added the possibility to specify a connection timeout
  • S3 connection pool statistics were added to the health status
  • Added support for 0-bytes files

etcd Integration

  • Upgraded etcd client library to version 0.5.4

Spreadsheet Module

  • Fixed wrong handling of already existing entities coming via enrichment
  • Support for SpreadsheetIdentityProperty MetaData that enables to update existing records by using one or multiple key properties to identify existing records for updating
  • Support for SpreadsheetEntityContextLinking MetaData that allows to reuse already existing immutable records in other imports by linking those records with a linking entity that will have a reference to the record, optional enriching (e.g. packaging) and the row number from the sheet
  • Support for SpreadsheetColumnTrimming MetaData that enables cell value whitespace trimming at begin and end of a text value

Tribefire ControlCenter / Explorer
