Enhancement GTXPE-212 🔗 Link

Content browser list item row page language indicators now have optional icons for the various statuses a page or page language variant can have.


Enhancement GTXPE-509 🔗 Link

When rendering a page using the Mesh Preview URL the POST request will have the additional query parameter “renderMode“ set to either “preview“ (if the page is rendered as preview) or “edit” (if the page is rendered for edit mode).


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.

Gentics CMS will now support OpenJDK 11 as JVM.
When updating to OpenJDK 11, it is important to note, that some command-line options have been removed: See Removed GC Options

Enhancement GTXPE-399 🔗 Link

The REST Model for folders has been extended to include the breadcrumbs.
The REST Model for pages, images and files has been extended to include the publish path.


Enhancement GTXPE-456 🔗 Link

The Time Management for pages has been simplified.
The new Time Management will allow users to

  • Publish (or republish) a page at a specified time
  • Take a page offline at a specified time

When a page is scheduled for being published at a specific time, a new major version of the page will be created immediately. When the scheduled time is reached, exactly this version of the page will be published, even if the page was modified afterwards.
Users without publish permission will now be able to request a page to be taken offline. Such requests will be treated exactly like the requests to publish or republish pages: Users in supergroups with publish permission will be informed and the pages will be shown in the publish queue. From there, users with publish permission can either approve the request for taking the page offline or reassign the page to the editor.


Enhancement GTXPE-407 🔗 Link

It is now possible to add ContentRepositories to devtool packages. See the Guides for details.


Enhancement GTXPE-405 🔗 Link

The REST model of pages contains two new fields: customCdate and customEdate which can be used to set custom creation and edit dates for the page.
It is no longer possible to change the real creation date cdate over the REST API any more.
Rendering the meta attributes “creationtimestamp“ or “creationdate“ will take the customCdate (if set to a non-zero value) and fall back to the cdate, if customCdate is not set. The same applies to “edittimestamp“ and “editdate” (with customEdate and edate).
