Bugfix SUP-7155 🔗 Link

When opening a page in the new UI after the session has expired, the user is now properly notified and redirected to the login page, instead of just showing “The session can‘t be authenticated” in the content editor frame.

Bugfix SUP-6905 🔗 Link

When using the feature activiti_integration and defining process triggers with constraints, it is now possible to use the function render() to access data from tags (e.g. object tags). See the guides for details.


Bugfix SUP-7095 🔗 Link

The quicksearch in the old UI would show matching pages in nodes, even if the pages were not visible in the node (in the normal page list), because the language of the page was not activated for the node. This has been fixed now, the quicksearch will now only show pages, which are visible.


Bugfix SUP-6804 🔗 Link

When synchronizing a devtools package from the filesystem fails, because a template is locked by another user, an appropriate error message will be shown.


Bugfix SUP-6500 🔗 Link

Calling the Elasticsearch reindex endpoint will now create indices if they are missing.

Documentation SUP-7187 🔗 Link

Fixed some mistakes in the installation documentation for Redhat OS.


Bugfix SUP-7357 🔗 Link

Fixed an SGB error that occured when viewing an import conflict and the feature “pub_dir_segment” is enabled.


Bugfix SUP-5382 🔗 Link

Replace all occurrences of escaped characters in the page name before rendering it.


Bugfix SUP-7917 🔗 Link

When editing a page in the old UI and clicking into the repository browser while selecting a link target for example the current editable was disabled. This would also remove possible editing helpers rendered for tables. When the editable was very large and the user had scrolled to the position where the link should be inserted, this could cause the repository browser to be moved out of position. The issue has been fixed now, clicking into the repository browser will no longer deactivate the current editable and the repository browser will stay in place.


Bugfix SUP-6461 🔗 Link

Binary data from files will not be stored to Elasticsearch anymore. The file will still be processed and searchable. This will reduce disk usage.


Bugfix SUP-5662 🔗 Link

Previously, the Debian installer dropped the MySQL database if it already existed and removed the whole /Node folder during package removal or purge. This is unwanted behavior and has been changed to not drop the database and not delete the /Node folder anymore when removing or purging the package.


Bugfix SUP-8112 🔗 Link

Fix an issue when user tries to edit a non-localized page without permission to the master node.


Bugfix SUP-5793 🔗 Link

The nodectl script used by the genticscms Systemd service sometimes did not stop the CMS gracefully. This has been fixed.


Bugfix SUP-8047 🔗 Link

Aloha Editor has been updated to version 1.4.54.


Bugfix SUP-7543 🔗 Link

When using php <5.4 the ElasticSearch properties for a Mesh Contentrepository where not displayed correctly in the UI


Bugfix SUP-7479 🔗 Link

Copying multiple pages didn‘t correctly respect the target channel, so the pages were copied into the master node instead of the channel. This has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-7479 🔗 Link

Creating a page variant didn‘t work when the target folder has no templates linked.


Bugfix SUP-7316 🔗 Link

Enhanced an error message that comes when one tries to delete a user in the administration that is in the same group.


Bugfix SUP-7616 🔗 Link

GCN JS API: the method “FolderAPI.parent(success, error)” did not actually return the parent folder. It did return the current folder instead. Child folders are now less egocentric and will return the folder object of their parent, when asked for it.


Gentics Content.Node 5.31.34


Gentics Content.Node 5.31.33


Bugfix SUP-7338 🔗 Link

Due to a race condition, sometimes dependencies of pages were not correctly stored for all channels in a multichannelling environment. This subsequently caused the pages not being dirted for all channels if some of their dependencies were changed. The incorrect storing of dependencies was fixed. However this fix will not correct already incompletely stored dependencies. Incompletely written dependencies will be corrected if the pages are republished for all their channels.


Bugfix SUP-8180 🔗 Link

If a channel is currently opened in the item list and the ID of an inherited page is entered in the search bar for a quick jump, the UI will now go to the page in the current channel and only jump to the master page if no page with this ID exists in the current node/channel.


Bugfix SUP-8197 🔗 Link

When moving files or pages into channels, the check for uniqueness of name/filename was not performed correctly, which could cause duplicate filenames (and errors in the publish process because of the duplicates). The uniqueness check has now been fixed to prevent moving of files/pages into channels, if conflicting files/pages already exist.


Gentics Content.Node 5.31.32


Security SUP-6870 🔗 Link

Fixed some security vulnerabilities in the scheduler with not sanitized user input.


Bugfix SUP-8114 🔗 Link

When publishing into a Mesh ContentRepository with instant publishing enabled, the publish process could fail after getting a “409 Conflict” response from Mesh, when an object was instant published while handled by the publish process. This has been fixed now. Objects that were instant published during a publish process will not be handled by the publish process at all.


Bugfix SUP-8093 🔗 Link

In rare cases, the publish process could fail with an NullPointerException while loading objects. This has been fixed.


Bugfix SUP-8108 🔗 Link

Avoid detail-chips cutting in IE.


Bugfix SUP-7660 🔗 Link

Changed the color for strong HTML elements in the tagfill to meet the recommended contrast ratio for WCAG AA.


Bugfix SUP-7712 🔗 Link

Fix an issue with removing niceUrl from Page Properties.


Bugfix SUP-7956 🔗 Link

File extensions can no longer be deleted in the new UI.


Gentics Content.Node 5.31.31


Bugfix SUP-6812 🔗 Link

Republishing a page will now change the publishtimestamp of all page variants.


Bugfix SUP-8029 🔗 Link

When a page was translated in the master node, possibly existing conflicting language variants were removed from the wastebin only in the master node, but not in channels, which caused a multichannelling inconsistency. This has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-7143 🔗 Link

Setting or changing the language of a page using the old UI will now create a new page version.


Bugfix SUP-8022 🔗 Link

Calls to the REST API Endpoint /page/localize/{id} for a page being either the master or already being localized in the given channel, returned an empty response. This has been fixed, the response will contain a responseinfo with responsecode “OK” together with a message.
The RestClient has also been fixed to better handle responses without responseinfo.


Bugfix SUP-7792 🔗 Link

When going to the publish queue in the UI, and then editing a localized page, the master version instead of the localized versioned was opened. This has been fixed.


Bugfix SUP-7143 🔗 Link

UI: Fix setting language on pages which did not have language set before.


Gentics Content.Node 5.31.30


Enhancement SUP-6599 🔗 Link

GCN JS Api: When using TagAPI.save() it was not possible to pass options to the save REST-call, to influence the locking or version creation of the underlying page. With this fix the TagAPI.save() method uses the same method signature as the PageAPI.save() method, with an optional settings object as the first argument.


Bugfix SUP-7540 🔗 Link

The performance of getting the list of constructs has been improved.


Bugfix SUP-7872 🔗 Link

The tag status dialog for templates has been extended:

  • A new column “Incompatible pages“ has been introduced to show the number of pages using a tagtype, which is incompatible with the tagtype used by the template
  • The button “sync with pages“ has been replaced by actions “Sync with compatible pages“ and “Sync with all pages”

Some fixes regarding the tag status and synchronization have been made:

  • The tag status dialog will no longer count pages in the wastebin
  • An import that changes a template will no longer migrate incompatible pages. If an import could not migrate all pages, this information will be shown in the list of imports.
  • Published pages will be republished after migration in all cases now.

Bugfix SUP-7794 🔗 Link

When editing a tag containing at least one required field in the new UI, it was not possible to cancel the action while the required field was still empty. This has been fixed now, the cancel button will no longer check for required fields.


Bugfix SUP-7540 🔗 Link

Due to a missing unique constraint, the table construct_node (storing the assignment of constructs to nodes) could contain duplicate entries, which could lead to performance issues when loading the list of constructs. This update will automatically remove duplicate rows and add the unique constraint.


Bugfix SUP-7915 🔗 Link

Under specific circumstances, that data consistency check for Mesh Content.Repositories could result in a NullPointerException, which has been fixed.


Gentics Content.Node 5.31.29


Bugfix SUP-7775 🔗 Link

If users had permission to create folders restricted to specific channels, they still could not create folders in folders that were inherited from master nodes due to a too strictly performed permission check, which has been fixed.


Gentics Content.Node 5.31.28


Enhancement SUP-7724 🔗 Link

When adding a tag to an object, using a construct, which is not yet linked to the node of the object an error message is shown. This error message now also gives a hint on how to resolve this issue.


Bugfix SUP-7750 🔗 Link

When using the feature “elasticsearch”, and many objects need to be reindexed, the number of parallel threads could become very high, which could lead to problems (e.g. too many connections to the backend database). The number of threads used for indexing can now be configured and is by default restricted with 10 threads.


Bugfix SUP-7726 🔗 Link

Some logged errors in the old UI have been fixed.


Bugfix SUP-7632 🔗 Link

When publishing into a Mesh ContentRepository, the current page language was not taken into consideration when rendering overviews containing pages with multiple languages for

  • Rendering the preview using a Mesh Preview URL
  • Writing a page into the Mesh ContentRepository with instant publishing (regular publish run always rendered correctly)
    The issue has been fixed, the page language will always be considered when rendering overviews.

Bugfix SUP-7508 🔗 Link

In a multichannelling environment, the usage information listed objects multiple times, if they were excluded in some channels. This has been fixed now, every object will only be listed once in the usage information.


Bugfix SUP-7626 🔗 Link

The devtools didn‘t synchronize regular expressions of tagparts. This has been fixed.


Gentics Content.Node 5.31.27


Documentation SUP-7662 🔗 Link

Bugfix SUP-7596 🔗 Link

Fixes an issue when a user has an empty favourites list it can cause an error.


Bugfix SUP-7650 🔗 Link

When a devtool package containing CR fragments is assigned to a node, the CR fragments will now be assigned to the node‘s ContentRepository.


Bugfix SUP-6911 🔗 Link

The order of CR Fragment Entries in devtool packages will now also be consistent.


Bugfix SUP-7643 🔗 Link

When publishing a node and channels into a Mesh Content.Repository, new images and files were initially written into all branches of the Mesh project, but removed with the next publish run. If a channel had publishing into Content.Repositories completely disabled, this could cause errors in the publish run. This has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-7561 🔗 Link

When a construct containing a part of type “Datasource” was synchronized from a devtool package, the datasource entries were not synchronized. This has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-6836 🔗 Link

When synchronizing objects into devtool packages, the order of some element lists might change, which could cause unnecessary conflicts when merging with other changes with the use of a version control system (like git). This has been changed now in a way that the order of already existing elements will stay the same, while new elements will be appended at the end of the list.


Bugfix SUP-7646 🔗 Link

When an error occurs while synchronizing a template from a devtool package into the CMS (e.g. because a construct used in the template does not exist in the CMS), the template was left locked, and that state was not immediately visible in the UI due to a caching issue. This has been fixed now, the template will be unlocked in case of errors.


Gentics Content.Node 5.31.26


Bugfix SUP-7569 🔗 Link

When the feature enable_image_upload_in_tagfill was not explicitly set to true in the configuration, the upload buttons were correctly shown in the old UI, but were not shown in the new UI, because the REST API Endpoint /admin/features/[name] claimed to feature to be deactivated. This has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-7040 🔗 Link

Fixed errors in devtools packages with php 7.


Bugfix SUP-7599 🔗 Link

When publishing a node and channels into a Mesh Content.Repository, and the node or a channel had publishing of pages into the Mesh Content.Repository disabled, the pages were still written into the Content.Repository, but then removed. This has been fixed now, pages from nodes will only be written into the Mesh Content.Repository, if necessary.


Bugfix SUP-7425 🔗 Link

When synchronizing datasources from a devtool package with an entry having dsid 0, the dsid was changed to another value (most probably 1), even if this dsid was used by another entry. This resulted in the CMS not showing the entry, which originally had dsid 0 in the UI. The incorrect synchronization has been fixed. Incorrect values in the database either need to be fixed manually, or by another synchronization of the devtool package from the filesystem.


Gentics Content.Node 5.31.25


Documentation SUP-7562 🔗 Link

Further explain usage of Gentics CMS Devtools with tagtype categories. See the Devtools overview in our guides.


Bugfix SUP-7514 🔗 Link

In some cases, the CMS Server would create many short lived connections to the backend database in very short time. This is inefficient and may lead to resource problems. This has been changed now, so that database connections will be taken from the connection pool instead.


Bugfix SUP-7541 🔗 Link

Fixed problems with the scripts injected into the ContentFrame and made the injection more robust.


Bugfix SUP-7554 🔗 Link

Rendering the preview of a page with a Mesh Portal Preview URL failed with a NullPointerException, if the tagmap contained at least one entry of type “Node”. This has been fixed now.


Gentics Content.Node 5.31.24


Bugfix SUP-7385 🔗 Link

Made the cms docker image more bullet proof

  • Fixed that the Apache and the Tomcat sometimes didn‘t start when the Docker container was restarted
  • Fix the scheduler not working sometimes after a restart of the Docker container, when the PID is being used by a different process

Bugfix SUP-7455 🔗 Link

When changing the assignment between a Node and a ContentRepository, this could cause all objects in the Node to be dirted. This has been fixed now, changing the assignment between a Node and a ContentRepository will dirt no objects any more.


Bugfix SUP-7417 🔗 Link

When using multichannelling, overviews over objects in other nodes were not always dirted, when new objects were created. This has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-7330 🔗 Link

When editing a tag in the new UI (but not with the new Tag Editor), the check for not filled mandatory multiselect parts did not work. Editors could save the tag with mandatory multiselect parts left empty. This has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-7437 🔗 Link

Add confirmation notification when uploading a new image via properties.


Bugfix SUP-7495 🔗 Link

When publishing large number of objects into a Mesh ContentRepository, checking for obsolete objects (during every publish run) could take a very long time. The performance of this check has been improved by increasing the pagesize for loading the objects from Mesh. The pagesize can now be configured (see Guides for details).


Gentics Content.Node 5.31.22


Bugfix SUP-6971 🔗 Link

Fixes an issue with unexpected “Invalid SID” error messages on login.


Bugfix SUP-7331 🔗 Link

Bugfix SUP-6814 🔗 Link

When several parts of a tagtype had the same keyword and the tagtype was synchronized into the filesystem by the devtools feature, the created files for those tagparts were overwritten. The behavior has been changed so that such tagtypes will not be synchronized into the filesystem, and the synchronization process will fail.

Fix problems with IFrames that are nested inside the content frame‘s master IFrame and which are incompatible with the injected GCMS UI scripts and/or styles, by allowing such IFrames to skip GCMS UI scripts and styles injection.


Bugfix SUP-7066 🔗 Link

When using multithreaded publishing in a clustered GCMS environment, the GCMS start page would not load when requested from a cluster node, which was not the current master while the publish process was running. The error log would show an error like “java.io.NotSerializableException: com.gentics.contentnode.publish.PublishThreadInfo”. This has been fixed now.


Gentics Content.Node 5.31.17


Bugfix SUP-6902 🔗 Link

Add missing Live URL links for images and files.

In some cases the tageditor with the formgenerator can have overlapping dialog buttons. This is now fixed.


Bugfix SUP-6363 🔗 Link

UI: Fix german text for page revision message


Gentics Content.Node 5.31.15


On new installations of Gentics CMS the Feature Resumable Publish Process will be activated by default. This will not change the setting of this feature in existing installations.

🔗 Link

Bugfix SUP-6869 🔗 Link

When synchronizing objects between channels using the old UI, the optional intermediate dialog showing dependencies that also need to be synchronized will now only show tabs containing actual data. That means e.g. that the tab “Pages” will only be shown, if dependent pages need to be synchronized.


Bugfix SUP-6881 🔗 Link

The docker container running the GCMS image sometimes failed to start apache2 process due to prior unclean shutdown. This has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-6853 🔗 Link

When rendering a page preview by posting data to the configured Mesh Preview URL the behaviour has been changed so that embedded tags that have to be partly rendered in the frontend will now work exactly like for the published page. Only when rendering a page in edit mode, the behaviour will still be different, which means that tagtype implementations need to take care of that (render different in edit mode).


Bugfix SUP-6847 🔗 Link

Fixed the positioning of the page status labels in the repository browser.


Bugfix SUP-6793 🔗 Link

Some issues when publishing into Mesh ContentRepositories have been fixed:

  • Pages, Folders, Images or Files having global IDs in the “old style“ (generated with a sequence number, like “ABCD.12345“)
    were published to Mesh Objects with UUIDs that were not necessarily unique. The transformation of those global IDs into Mesh UUIDs has been changed, which means, that affected objects need to be removed from the Mesh CR manually and republished. The ContentRepository action “Check data” will detect such Mesh nodes.
  • When publishing multiple channels into a Mesh ContentRepository, the publish process could fail with various errors.

Bugfix SUP-6772 🔗 Link

Fixes an issue that could prevent unlocking of the page when closing the editor.


Bugfix SUP-6757 🔗 Link

Fixes an issue that caused dialogs to have full height in Internet Explorer.


Gentics Content.Node 5.31.14


Bugfix SUP-6172 🔗 Link

Fixed the translation of Calendars when the language is changed.

Import/Export: Fixed an NPE when importing folders which were moved and deleted (but still in the wastebin) on the target system.


Bugfix SUP-6334 🔗 Link

Fixed the Icon for localized Images in the new UI


Bugfix SUP-6827 🔗 Link

If devtools is activated and the user has no view permissions for the devtools packages the wrong link for live preview was generated in preview- and edit-mode of a page, resulting in error 500 messages. This has been fixed now: for users without devtools permission the regular preview url will be generated, for users with devtools permissions the devtools preview url will be used.


Gentics Content.Node 5.31.13


Bugfix SUP-6820 🔗 Link

Fixes an issue that prevented some users from saving Image Object Properties.


Bugfix SUP-6531 🔗 Link

With small browser window sizes the button to open the custom tools list would sometimes move above or below the search bar. This has been fixed.


Bugfix SUP-6815 🔗 Link

Include ‘description‘ field in and remove ‘content‘ field from the default advanced search in the new UI.


Gentics Content.Node 5.31.12


Documentation SUP-6799 🔗 Link

Added Apache access configuration example to the Devtools configuration guide.


Bugfix SUP-6748 🔗 Link

When adding a datasource to a devtool package, the internal IDs of the datasource values (which are used to reference the datasource values in tags) were not included in the data. This could lead to different internal IDs of the same datasource values on different CMS systems and inconsistencies when transferring tags referencing the datasource values. This has been fixed now. To synchronize the internal IDs between systems, the datasources have to be transferred between the systems again (using either a devtool package or import/export).


Bugfix SUP-6784 🔗 Link

The objectproperties icons were missing in the tree. This has been fixed.


Bugfix SUP-6805 🔗 Link

When an object property was edited from the Aloha Editor sidebar in the new UI, no buttons were shown. This has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-6792 🔗 Link

It is now possible to connect to a Mesh ContentRepository Instance via SSL. See Guides for configuration details.

When selecting an item from the favourites in the repository browser an exception was thrown. This has been fixed.


Bugfix SUP-6778 🔗 Link

When Aloha Editor takes more time to load, the toolbar styles were not displayed correctly sometimes. This has been fixed.


Gentics Content.Node 5.31.11

When using Keycloak SSO for authentication with the new UI and if the authentication information is not cached in the UI, then opening a link to the new UI, which does not point to the root or to the login page (e.g, a link that points to a certain folder), would have caused the login page to be shown below the search bar instead of loading the linked address. A page refresh would have be required to go to the linked address. This has been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-6523 🔗 Link

Tagmap entries with the same name but for different object types would be shown as “inconsistent“ if they were different in attributes, which had no relevance for the entry type (e.g. different targetType setting for entries of type “text“). This resulted in “conflicts” which could not be resolved and has been fixed now.

It is also no longer possible to create a package over the UI or REST API with a name starting with ‘.‘.


Bugfix SUP-6439 🔗 Link

Synchronizing template tags with pages behaved inconsistently: Missing tags were only added to pages, which also contained tags that needed to be migrated (because they used different constructs). This has been fixed now, when synchronizing template tags with pages, this will:

  • Create missing tags
  • Migrate existing tags to the construct used in the template
  • Remove superfluous tags (tags that came from the template, but no longer exist in the template or are no longer editable in pages)

Synchronization of template tags with pages can be triggered via

  • Template|Tag list (Action sync with pages)
  • Template|Define tags (Button Apply and sync with pages)
  • Template|Tagstate (Button sync with pages)
