Release Notes

The internally used dependency org.apache.httpcomponents.client5:httpclient5 has been updated.

This version no longer supports authentications via NTLM or Kerberos. This applies exclusively to HTTP connections established by FirstSpirit itself.

This continues to potentially affect scripts and modules with legacy resources that use classes from these dependencies.

Please note that support for modules with non-isolated resources will be discontinued with FirstSpirit 2025.8.

As of the release 2025.7, the following internally used software has been updated.

• Apache HttpClient
  Update to version 5.4.4

Language selection in the toolbar

A new language menu next to the status button allows for selecting the project language. The approval status of each language is displayed in the flyout. A colored indicator on the dropdown signals changes in other languages (orange = changed, red = in workflow). The preview updates according to the selected language.

Media and datasets

The views for media and data sources now also support language-specific release. The language switch has also been integrated there.

Table views behave like forms with language-dependent labels. The display of snippets and display names depends on the project or editorial language. Additionally, the toolbar now shows the status of the selected element – no longer that of the folder.

FirstSpirit 2025.7 supports the following module versions for FirstSpirit Content Experience Tools.

The new ScriptAgent in the FirstSpirit API allows for easy execution of scripts.

The ProjectAgent has been expanded with two new methods that provide information about remote data sources.

• Map<Schema, Collection<Long>> getExportedRemoteSchemas()
• Map<Schema, Long> getImportedRemoteSchemas()

The logging API SLF4J has been updated to version 2.0.17.

The fs-isolated-runtime.jar now contains their classes directly, so module developers no longer need to define additional dependencies.

Please also refer to the chapter Logging in FirstSpirit in the documentation regarding this topic.

Project-related tasks have so far been carried out with the permissions of a server administrator, which poses a potential security risk.

Starting from the current FirstSpirit version, permissions are limited by default to those of a project administrator.

If schedule tasks with scripts require additional permission, this can be achieved by specifying a separate connection with the appropriate access data.

The FirstSpirit desktop apps (FirstSpirit SiteArchitect and ServerManager) are started and updated (rolled out) via the FirstSpirit Launcher.

The “FirstSpirit Launcher JRE” module enables customers and partners to easily switch between different Java versions for the operation of Java-based applications. The desired Java version can be selected server-wide for Microsoft Windows and macOS separately.

The included Java versions have been updated with the current release.

• 17.0.14+7 -> 17.0.15+6
  (Default - the version delivered with the FirstSpirit Launcher)
• 21.0.6+7 -> 21.0.7+6
