Breaking change when using translations for ckeditor5 plugins

Before it was possible to use addTranslations from "@coremedia/ckeditor5-core-common". Now it is necessary to add translations via EditorConfig of ckeditor5 Editor.

Migrated JUnit 4 Tests to JUnit Jupiter

JUnit 4 tests have been migrated to JUnit Jupiter. This may be breaking if you have adjusted unit tests provided by the Blueprint.

XML Repository: Extended Support for Getting Referrers

The XML Repository, a mocking implementation for unit-testing Unified API based features, now supports getReferrer* calls also for Structs and Markup properties and thus enriches testing possibilities, where before other mocking strategies had to be found.

Bugfix: XML Repository Behaved Differently for ContentType#getDirectInstances()

When setting up tests with the XML repository, the implementations of ContentType#getDirectInstances() and QueryService#poseContentQuery(...) could deliver different results as in a real Content Server connection. While the real connection always delivers all contents regardless of user's rights on them, the XML repository would filter them for readability by the current UAPI user. This deviation is now fixed and the XML repository behaves just like the real connection.

Referrer Relation Augmentation for Localization Workflows

When a navigation channel is translated to a derived site, the parent channel must exist in the derived site before the child can be placed correctly. If the parent does not yet exist, the translated channel becomes a structural orphan — disconnected from the rest of the page tree in the derived site. The same applies to taxonomy hierarchies.

With this feature, localization workflows automatically consider referencing parent content items when computing the translation set. When you start a localization workflow for a navigation channel, all ancestor channels up to the root channel are considered automatically — at any depth. If any of those ancestor channels do not yet exist in the derived site, they are automatically added to the translation set.

This feature applies both to the Start Localization Workflow window in CoreMedia Studio (where editors see which content items will be included) and during the actual workflow execution on the Workflow Server.

Four referrer relations are pre-configured and enabled by default:

For parent content items that already exist in the derived site, editors can activate the option to include updated dependent content when starting the localization workflow. This ensures that structural link-list changes are propagated to derived sites even when the parent content item already exists.

Custom content types with parent-child relationships can be registered via additional configuration properties.

Refactored Tests to Replace Deprecated Spring Test Classes

Spring's junit 4 integration is deprecated. This affects all classes in the org.springframework.test.context.junit4 package, in particular SpringJUnit4ClassRunner and SpringRunner. Hence, all tests using these classes have been converted to junit 5 tests, most of them using org.springframework.test.context.junit.jupiter.SpringJUnitConfig. This ticket is labelled as breaking because blueprint test code is affected.
