5.0500

Added: reset password confirmation email including a link which must be clicked before password is reset. Also enabled reset of administrator passwords and disabled reset of API account passwords.

Projects that use the ResetPassword servlet can use the /groups/[group]/members/forceresetpassword and authenticate as an administrator to stop confirmation email being sent or the email can be customized by overriding template/default/Notification/ResetPasswordConfirmMessage-html.xsl

5.0500

Added: the following password security enhancements:

  • More secure password storage (all users will be prompted to change their password to take advantage of this)
  • Current password must be entered before it can be changed
  • Users are notified by email if their password is changed
  • Password strength checking which will not allow weak passwords
  • All administrators are required to have strong passwords and so a user's password is always reset when they become an administrator.

Projects which customize any page that changes passwords will need to be updated. Projects that use the /members/[member]/edit service will need to add the current-password parameter or authenticate as an administrator to bypass it.

Setting password-email=false will stop notification from being sent or the email can be customized by overriding template/default/Notification/ChangePasswordMessage-html.xsl

5.0500

Added: support for attribute @type="Transclude" to <blockxref> elements, removed support for types "Depends On", "Effects", "Config Item","Config Qualifier" and deprecated type "Include". The remaining supported types are as follows:

Embed/Transclude can now reference whole PS XML documents as well as individual sections and the link title for section references defaults to document + manual, instead of manual. Transclusion details can be displayed using the button at the top of the document view.

Projects using the removed types must be modified to use the supported types. The "Include" type is supported in this release but may be removed in future so it should be removed from projects as soon as possible (similar functionality is available with the supported types or using multiple XRefs). Projects with customized processing of consolidated/concatenated XML may need modification as Embed/Transclude content now appears inside the <blockXref> element instead of replacing it.
  • None: no processing required (default). Use this type of link when the link appears inline in the text.
  • Replace: The linked content will replace the entire section when the document is published. When a section contains multiple 'Replace' links, the replacement content are appended in order. Use this type of link when appending external content, but when local content can be discarded.
  • Embed: The linked content will be embedded when the document is published. Use Embed links when the linked content should be embedded at a later stage.
  • Transclude: The linked content will be embedded directly in PageSeeder. Use Transclusion so that the linked content appears as if it were part of the source document.

Also, added an "unlock" button to the user-preferences-memberdetails page so administrators can unlock an account.
18 Jul 12, WP: 9050, ID: 434211, v5.0500)

  • minBadLogins: The minimum number of incorrect logins before an account is locked (default is 5)
  • maxBadLogins: The maximum number of incorrect logins before an account is locked (default is 10)
  • minAccountLockout: The minimum number of minutes an account can be locked for (default is 30)
  • maxAccountLockout: The maximum number of minutes an account can be locked for (default is 60)

5.0500

Added: display of unresolved XRefs (with a line through them) in the document view with support for @unresolved="true" attribute generated by PageSeeder on <xref>/<blockxref> elements. Unresolved XRefs are still stripped out when downloading for backward compatibility.

18 Jul 2012

5.0500

Added: support for hierarchical xrefs by allowing a @level="x" attribute on <xref>/<blockxref> elements, where x is a number from 1 to 5. This level can be modified using the XRef List editor on Master documents using the left and right arrow buttons.

When publishing using generate-concatenated-xml the @level attribute will automatically change heading and para levels on the target content relative to the source document. For example if master (M) has an XRef  to master (N) with level 2, and master (N) has an XRef to document (A) with level=3 (M -2-> N -3-> A). Then when (M) is published, a heading1 in document (A) will become a heading6 (2 + 3 + 1).

  • Ask for overwrite confirmation if needed (lists files that will overwrite existing ones).
  • Always ask for confirmation (lists files that will and will not overwrite existing ones).
  • Never ask for confirmation: force overwrite (developer perspective only - provides better performance if import scripts are used).

    (23 Jul 12, WP: 9050, ID: 441046, v5.0500)

  • Added: support for indexing document versions by setting group property index-versions=true. Added field value pstype='version' for versions (they have the same fields as documents) and added field pscreationdate to documents and versions. Also added "Document Version" option to group-groupindexing page to index existing versions.

    Versions are not currently searchable in the UI but can be used for example in Ant to get a list of all the documents that have changed from one version to another using:

    <ps:ps-request servlet="com.pageseeder.search.GenericSearch" ... >
  <parameter name="groups" value="${ps-groupId}"/>
  <parameter name="types" value="version"/>
  <parameter name="from" value="${1st-version-creation-datetime}"/>
  <parameter name="with" value="pslatestversion:${2nd-version-number}"/>
</ps:ps-request>
