Release Notes

With the current FirstSpirit version it is possible to execute a source code from another output channel using a standard syntax.

Further information can be found in chapter “Template development: Standard syntax for executing a source code from another output channel”.

When a dataset was released via a workflow, two release events have been generated. One for the actual release and one for the removal of the workflow from the element. This second event is now no longer generated.

Support for working in projects with very many languages has been improved within the SiteArchitect.

When using the “SAP Login” Module (“SAP Business Package for FirstSpirit”), a NoClassDefFoundError could occur despite correct configuration. The corresponding class loading problems have been solved.

The “FirstSpirit SearchFilter” module is now permanently integrated in the FirstSpirit server. After upgrading to the current version, the old module is automatically deleted.

Syncing files between a local generation directory and a S3 bucket using the AWS S3 Deployment module was improved. if a local file cannot be opened for reading, the file is excluded from the sync.

When calling the method getExclusionNodeList() (FirstSpirit Access-API, Package de.espirit.firstspirit.access.packagepool, Interface Subscription) an error could occur. This has been fixed.

A preferred debug port can be configured via the parameter -DpreferredClientDebugPort.

Further information can be found in chapter “Administration / Modules: Launcher: Preferred debug port”.

The maintaining of groups in the ServerManager has been improved.

If Executables from a module are used in a workflow, custom exception types from the module can now also be used there to signal an error state in the workflow.

An error has been fixed that caused ttf files to be incorrectly marked with the file type emf by FirstSpirit. Newly uploaded TrueType fonts are now correctly marked with the file type ttf again.

An error with the display of web applications (NullPointerException) in ServerManager was fixed.

An error has been fixed that could lead to filehandles opened by FirstSpirit not being closed correctly.

Fixed a bug that could lead to slow loading of pages in very rare cases (deadlock in DefaultStoreElement#_refreshElements).

The search in the FirstSpirit SiteArchitect was adjusted, so that the search results now better meet the expectations from a technical perspective in cases where the search string contains special characters (except umlauts). This partially results in that more and better results containing special characters are found without having to use quotation marks.

Please note that corresponding special characters are not taken into account for the search, which means they do not influence the search result.
