  • serviceStrict=[true|false] global property (default "false")

with the following rules:

  • if requested service has @obsolete, return 410 "Gone" error AND set header:
 Warning: 299 - "Obsolete API [(strict)]"
 "[@obsolete]"
  • if requested service has @deprecated, set header:
Warning: 299 - "Deprecated API [(strict)]"
 "[@deprecated]"
  • if v is before @since on requested service, set header:
Warning: 299 - "Since API [(strict)]"
 "[@obsolete]"
  • if v is after or equal to @deprecated on requested service AND strict mode, return 410 "Gone" error
  • if v is before @since on requested service AND strict mode, return 404 "Not found" error

/config/database.properties

by adding ?useSSL=false to the end of the DBURL e.g.

DBURL=jdbc:mysql://localhost
/pageseeder?useSSL=false

Also add (or modify) the following line in your MySQL my.ini or my.cnf:

sql_mode=STRICT_TRANS_TABLES,NO_ZERO_IN_DATE,
NO_ZERO_DATE,ERROR_FOR_DIVISION_BY_ZERO,
NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER,
NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION

Finally, ensure that the following folders

pageseeder/webapp/WEB-INF/lib
pageseeder/webapp/WEB-INF/drivers

have this file or later.

Modified: export so it will list all exported documents / URLs in the process logs.

60544222 Jul 20165.9000

60440920 Jul 20165.9000

60553418 Jul 20165.9000

Added: support for editing/deleting URLs via a new Group config option called "Allow editing server wide properties of all URLs in this group". It can only be set by administrators and adminEnable=delete-documents must be set in the template.properties for delete to work.

WARNING: This should not be used on a server shared between different organisations as it affects URLs across the whole server.

58115315 Jul 20165.9000

Added: editable check box on Group folders page which allows the group to edit documents in another group's default folder.

This is now the preferred way to have multiple groups editing a document. Use of non-default folders is now deprecated and projects using these should be modified to use the editable check box instead.

59426415 Jul 20165.9000

Removed: The email template reset-password-complete is no longer supported and the notification/@password attribute has been removed from all template XML. Passwords are now never emailed by PageSeeder.

The notification/@token attribute has been added to the following templates and @key has been deprecated:

change-email-confirm
membership-new-member
new-member
reset-password-confirm

All default notification XSLT has been updated with new content and styling, including URLs to new email permalinks.

Any projects with custom notification XSLT should be updated to reflect the changes above.

6044131 Jul 20165.8910

Added: support for the following parameter on the GenericSearch servlet:

  • ranges: A comma separated list of range searches (format is field:[|{(lower)? ; (upper)?}|] where {} means exclude limit value) e.g.
ranges=psproperty-expires:
  [2015-03-20;2016-01-01],
  psproperty-title:[A;C}
  ranges=psxrefcount:{50;],
  psreversexrefcount:[;10]

Also, added a Dev > Index catalog page which lists the settings for all the fields in the index. Fields that are not indexed (only stored) are not shown. There is a catalog per project which is only cleared before doing Server indexing of all groups in that project.

6038091 Jul 20165.8910

Upgraded: James email server to v2.3.2.

58816729 Jun 20165.8910

60270028 Jun 20165.8910

Added: support for a user friendly title attribute on <group> which can be set via services or the PageSeeder UI. If set it is also displayed in some places in the UI instead of the group name. The old flags attribute on <group> has also been removed.

60409928 Jun 20165.8910

Added: index fields psxreflabel and psreversexreflabel which are now available in the UI via the Add facet link at the bottom of the search page. They are also available in the search table view under the Change columns options along with psxrefcount and psreversexrefcount.

60396628 Jun 20165.8910

Added: a link to the source document/fragment for all embeded/transcluded content in the document preview.

60383827 Jun 20165.8910

Removed: Layout config.xml v1.2 is no longer supported.

Any v1.2 config.xml should have the version in DOCTYPE declaration and version attribute updated to 1.4 which is the latest. Trees are no longer supported so any tree elements will also need to be removed.

60401615 Jun 20165.8908

Modified: The PS publisher has been modified to delete files from the working folder which are more than 3 days old. This should save space and decrease PageSeeder startup time.

When PageSeeder v5.9 is first installed it will try to delete the contents of the ps-publisher/WEB-INF/working folder. If it cannot do this PageSeeder will not start and there will be an error in the general.log. In this case the contents of the working folder need to be deleted manually before restarting PageSeeder.

56301815 Jun 20165.8908

Added: labels attribute to fragment elements in PSML so it's easier to access the fragment labels.

The <labels> element on <locator> has been deprecated. Please use the new labels attribute on fragments instead. Currently the <labels> element will still work but will be overridden by the labels attribute when uploading.

60387614 Jun 20165.8908

Added: support for different label colors in the document view (only applies to Block or Inline content labels). Supported colors are black, navy, blue, green, yellow, orange, pink or purple.

6028053 Jun 20165.8906

Created: new ps:request ANT task supporting ps:config settings, binary file downloads and automatic polling for requests which start a thread. Deprecated old ps:ps-request task.

6025271 Jun 20165.8906

Made: the following improvements to schematron validation:

  • Validate action icon at the group level and breadcrumb bar to set the folder to be validated.
  • Validate a folder for a specific PSML document type or metadata for non-PSML media type.
  • View last validation report generated by current user in current group.
  • In the validation report added a link to each document.
  • Option to export the validation report as CSV file.
  • Validate with the default.sch defined for a document/media type automatically after editing and on upload.
  • Schematron validation on upload can be disabled via the upload developer options or via the validate attribute on the ps:upload ANT task.
58418123 May 20165.8906

Fixed: text wrapping on source view in CK content editor.

Added: new ps:publish ANT task which can be used to remotely invoke ANT scripts on a PageSeeder server.

60121310 May 20165.8906

Upgraded: to Lucene v5 for indexing and added a Dev > Server indexing page for administrators which can be used to reindex groups for a project or for the whole server filtered by:

  • Obsolete groups: where the existing index can't be used (e.g. it is a Lucene v3 index)
  • Old groups: where the index can be used but may not contain the latest fields
  • Current groups: where the index is up to date

Also added support for the following global.properties:

  • maxIndexingThreads: The maximum number of indexing threads - more threads should increase indexing speed but should not be more than the number of CPUs on the server (default 2).
  • slowIndexingSize: Non-PSML files with larger than this number of bytes will join the slow indexing queue to conserve memory (default 2000000).
  • maxIndexingSize: Non-PSML files with larger than this number of bytes will not have their content indexed to conserve memory (default 20000000).

After installing this version of PageSeeder, groups must be re-index before their index can be used (i.e. all group indexes will be obsolete). Also any projects with custom index fields will need to be updated as the index XML format has changed.

5841373 May 20165.8906

Added: option to enter an edit note or select and edit note label when deleting a fragment.

5950094 Apr 20165.8906

Added: support in PSML for <property datatype="markdown"> where markdown formatted text can be inserted inside a <markdown> element under the <property>. To make publishing easier markdown text is automatically converted to the PSML equivalent by the ps:process ANT task.

5894564 Apr 20165.8906

Added: support for metadata properties for any file type. Metadata properties have all the capabilities of PSML properties and can be edited via the Document properties page. In PSML they will appear inside a <metadata> element after <document-info> or <fragment-info> elements.

They can be configured on the Dev > Document config page (previously Document types) by inserting <metadata><properties><property ...> elements under <document> in the document-template.psml and by adding the same options as the PSML properties editor in the editor-config.json with the editor name PSMLMetadataConfig.

5818834 Apr 20165.8906

Added: 'Outline images' option on Document view page which will display:

  • a link to the source image
  • the image dimensions in the document
