Release Notes

The evaluation of the fullMatching List during part generation has been optimised.

Further information can be found in chapter “Modules: AWS S3-Deployment: Partial generation: Evaluation of the fullMatching List”.

After a project export/import it could happen that a feature selected in a “Content Transport” action was not found in a job and had to be selected again.

Fixed a bug that in rare cases could cause connection errors for listeners registered by the module after updating it.

The synchronisation of the SearchManager has been improved to prevent very rare problems with parallel indexing of nodes in different projects.

An error in the reference calculation has been corrected, which potentially led to missing outgoing references.

An error has been fixed which in very rare cases could lead to the FirstSpirit ServerManager being unusable for some time when trying to edit the project settings.

Fixed an error that could cause an incorrect error message to be generated in SiteArchitect for reference targets to which the user does not have access.

During module development the API status of the FirstSpirit APIs used is now visible.

Further information can be found in chapter “Module Development, Scripts, API: Making API status visible via annotation”.

The drivers for Berkeley DB V7 are now integrated into the standard, so that the previously used standard module fs-berkeleydb7.fsm is no longer needed and is automatically removed when the server is updated.

Further information can be found in chapter “Administration / Modules: Drivers for the Berkeley DB V7 are now integrated into the FirstSpirit server”.

When using special characters in display names, display errors could occur in SiteArchitect in rare cases. This behaviour has been corrected.

Due to a change of the “FirstSpirit Portal” Module (“SAP Business Package for FirstSpirit”, fs-portal.fsm) with FirstSpirit 2022.10 some Java classes could not be found, this has been fixed.

From the FirstSpirit version 2022.11 on, the ContentCreator is automatically activated when a new FirstSpirit project is created.

Further information can be found in chapter “Administration: ContentCreator active for new projects”.

Installing/uninstalling project-local web applications is only possible for server administrators.

Further information can be found in chapter “Administration: Installing/uninstalling project-local web applications only for server administrators”.

In very rare cases, a java.lang.IllegalArgumentException could occur during the update of a module, if the module contains a service that does not throw an exception in case of a failed start (startService was successful, but isRunning returns false).

This problem has been fixed. In this case, a corresponding error is now output in the fs-server.log that the service could not be started:
ERROR ... (de.espirit.firstspirit.server.module.ServiceManagerImpl): Service not running '...' (module=..., version=..., componentClass=...)

For languages containing an underscore, selecting a language-dependent data source column did not work properly for the text of the sitemap in a content projection.

Using the json() function inside the integrated ContentCreator preview could have resulted in broken preview links.

If the generation directory is not created during a generation, a subsequent S3 deployment will not be executed.

Further information can be found in chapter “Modules: AWS S3-Deployment: S3 Deployment in the case of a missing generation directory”.

With FirstSpirit version 2022.10, a security function was introduced that restricted unauthorized access to preview files. In very rare cases, this function could lead to an increased load on the FirstSpirit server and, in the worst case, prevent the calculation of preview pages. This problem has been fixed.

The storage of information about the users' external groups has been optimized so that significantly less memory is required for them. Especially on servers with lots of parallel users who are in many external groups, this results in a noticeable improvement of memory consumption.

FirstSpirit Content Experience Tools: Latest module versions

Further information can be found in chapter “FirstSpirit Content Experience Tools (CXT): Latest module versions”.

With FirstSpirit 2022.10 the integrated browser could not be updated in the server installation directory. This could result in the integrated preview not working properly.

When using the NewSectionOperation, an error message could occur when canceling the creation while the page had validation errors.

Error messages related to network problems have been improved.

The MicroApps API will be changed: new methods will be added and one method will be renamed.

Further information can be found in chapter “FirstSpirit Content Experience Tools (CXT): Extension and modification of the MicroApp JavaScript API”.

Display names are often based on element snippets. In some cases formattings like "bold" were not properly removed before visualizing the evaluated display name.

The input components CMS_INPUT_TEXT and CMS_INPUT_NUMBER were displayed to small, if the form definition was configured using the attribute length=1.

With the current release 4.0.1, “fc-cli” (FSDevTools) has been adjusted to improve compatibility with Java 17.
