Release Notes

With the latest release, FirstSpirit-Logging now uses the current version string of the logging framework “Apache Log4j” :“Log4j 2”.

Support for “Log4j 1” will be discontinued with a future release.

Further information can be found in chapter “Administration: Logging: Log4j-Update to Version 2.x”.

An error has been eliminated, which, in very rare cases, could cause an incomplete release of a subscribed parts tree when using auto-release with FirstSpirit Corporate Content.
This applies to nodes that can be released. If the release is not possible due to errors (e.g., validation), it will not be executed and noted in the Corporate Content logging accordingly.

FirstSpirit Server are no longer supported in the “Legacy mode”. The most recent release has removed all Legacy implementations and their applications.

Note: These changes do not affect the functionality of (Legacy) modules.

An error has been eliminated that, in very rare cases, could result in java.lang.IllegalStateException: Circular service dependency detected: when starting a service.

Project components that have been removed from a project are now no longer included in project exports.

If the “Jetty Web Server” was configured without port indication, but the corresponding service is started at the server start anyway, a JettyServiceException was previously logged as ERROR. Now, only a WARN with an informational error text is issued in this case.

Specific icons are now displayed for a faster identification for additional file types: Audio: wma, mid, m4a, mka, flac, ogg, opus, mp2, aac, Video: mkv, webm, Archive: 7z.

An error has been fixed, which, in very rare cases could cause that datasets (“Entities”) were created in duplicate at the target with transport via FirstSpirit ContentTransport or ExternalSync.

The Element Status Provider can now return WorkflowGroups with a visualized status that is automatically determined based on the referenced objects.

Further information can be found in chapter “ContentCreator: Element Status Provider: display of the state of referenced elements”.

For the duration of the establishment of a DAP (DataAccessPlugin) session, the correct values are now logged in the log (only for analytic purposes in log level TRACE), e.g., TRACE 30.03.2022 16:21:53.817 (de.espirit.firstspirit.client.plugin.dataaccess.DataAccessSessions): DataAccessPlugin(cloudinary-integration/Cloudinary DAP) - 101150705 - DAS#createSession took '33ms.

In the CSV files containing statistics information that can be downloaded via FirstSpirit ServerMonitoring, finished actions with a start time prior to the time of the server start are now no longer displayed.

FirstSpirit now checks the use of the web components of the installed modules at startup and whenever the fs-server.conf file (i.e. the server configuration) is changed. Invalid references (e.g. in manually deleted web applications) are cleaned up in the process.

Media handling was improved so that temporary files are no longer used in case of the respective accesses.
