Cartridges

In case you are still using cartridges please don't forget to re-build all cartridges against the release repository (after switching to a new release).

Landing Page

• Landing Page shows releases now, if given. It still defaults to setupAsset.
• Improved error resilience in HomeServlet

DDSA

• Support for detached AccessDataRequest analogue to QueryDetached when executing a request via session.

Processing Engine

• ProcessTraces are now displayed with format ${event} @ ${state} (${fromState}:${toState})

Marshallers

JSON

• The JSON-Marshaller supports type-inference overrides now that allow to instantiate a sub type of a property type without having an explicit type defined on the JSON object.
• JSON date/time formats also allow the ISO format where only "Z" is at the end (JsonStreamMarshaller)

YAML

• Fixed marshalling of maps with complex keys.
• Property placeholder support by using the value-descriptor-model.
• Introduction of configuration API that allows the unmarshalling of entities with:
  • property default values
  • root type inference
  • property placeholder resolutions (value descriptors)

Utils

• Adding ConsoleOutputs.joiningCollector() (hopefully self-explanatory).
• Adding DeprecatedCode class which logs a warning for a usage of a deprecated method with info about who is calling this method.
• Adding pause/resume to StopWatch.
• Fixing symbolic links treatment when copying with FileTools.copy().
• The ZipTools are now hardened against ZIP bombs
• Added a convenience method to create a secure temporary file by changing the access flags
• XmlTools now allow to use an empty target for xinclude

Type Reflection

• Adding TypeReflection.findModel(), i.e. a method which doesn't throw an exception.

Queries

• Hiding confidential properties in Query.stringify().
• Fixed Query.orderBy methods which were not accumulating multiple orderings.

DCSA

• Fixing reset-collaborative-stage.
• New JDBC-based shared storage which loads manipulations faster and stores resources in a separate table to avoid blob copying when doing a cleanup.
• Shared storage migration via UpgradeSharedStorage and PollSharedStorageState and possible revert with DowngradeSharedStorage.

DDSA

• Improving general support for PushRequests.

REST

• depth parameter now means what you'd expect, i.e. the underlying cloning uses breadth-first order.

Core

• Added CallerAcceptedLocales aspect to service request attribute context
• Ensuring a model is now quicker by preventing the same model being ensured over and over again
• Added the distinct option to count method in Queries
• Allowing a fixed expiry date when creating a new user session
• Increased max pool size of Master Multicast Consumer
• Made several changes to improve the startup time of TF
• Added convenience services to upload a license via REST
• Added flush() to the BasicTemplateBasedServlet to make sure the response is committed to the client
• Fixed the encoding of the filename in the Content-Disposition header (from URL encoding to RFC 5987 encoding)
• Added a codec for storing custom properties in the user session
• Changed some DEBUG log lines to TRACE log lines to improve readability of the log file

Tomcat

• Added support for environment variables in the Tomcat configuration file with a default value
• Added option to hide the Tomcat version and stacktrace when there is a Tomcat error page displayed

CORS

• Allowing to set the CORS configuration via environment properties
• Automatically adding the public services base URL to not lock out the explorer when a URL is set

Logging

• Added support for the MODULE field, allowing to specify which module produced the log entry
• Added support for the thread name in the log entry
• Added the possibility to add alternative packages to the list of managed packages (by default com.braintribe.* and tribefire.*)

Hibernate

• Removed the DTD preamble from the hbm.xml files to reduce loading time of the XML files later
• Changed the warning in case of a long-running transaction to show only the first lines instead of thousands of lines
• Dyncamically adapting the long-running threshold depending on the size of the manipulation stack

JWT

• Supporting to read a JWT claim into session properties
• Adding original token to token information so that it can be stored in the user session

Tribefire Modules

• Resources are being loaded from an Eclipse project in debug, so not install is necessary in that case.
• Adding option to extend configuration of a model via HardwiredDeployablesContract (see #bindOnConfigurationModel()).
• Every Module has now it's own ClassLoader class, thus it's possible to tell which is the relevant module from an error message only stating the ClassLoader type.

Tribefire.js

• Adding ServiceRequest.andGetReasoned(evaluator)
• Adding AttributeAccessor, which allow for configuring aspects on say EvalContext without the need for a Class object.
• Many improvements in TypeScript .d.ts generator.

• Fixing collection manipulation normalizing on properties of type Object.
