Introducing a global installation directory for nodejs and npm, used by all themes to avoid multiple downloads of the same files.
(CMS-5148)In order to reduce coupling of the coremedia cookbook to database cookbooks, the dependencies to
mysql
,postgresql
andmongodb
have been removed from thecoremedia
cookbook.The only place they were used, was the
(CMS-5102)db-schemas
recipe, a pure development recipe, not to be used in production. Thedb-schemas
recipe only needed them to install the client tools of the databases. Now it is either up to the base image/box to provide the client tools or they have to be installed by chef, adding the previously included recipes to the runlist. In order to do so, they are now added to the runlists of the rolesmanagement
andreplication
. They were also added to the vagrant rolestorage
.
Miscellaneous Changes and Improvements
PhantomJS 2.1.1 is now supported for the Unit Tests of the blueprint workspace
(CMS-5193)The CoreMedia-specific StoreInfoHandler in WebSphere Commerce returns the wcsVersion information from now on. Therefore it is not required to configure the property livecontext.ibm.wcs.version within the blueprint workspace anymore. If the StoreInfoHandler is not yet updated on the WebSphere Commerce side you still may configure the livecontext.ibm.wcs.version property via application.properties of the CAE and Studio webapps as before. The wcsVersion received from the StoreInfoHandler has precedence and a warning is written into the logfile if the wcsVersion differs from the value defined as application.properties.
(CMS-5191)Added a new BooleanProperty
(CMS-2905)enableRetinaImages
to all Sites in the Blueprint. Disabled by default, except of the new "Chef Corp" Site. If enabled, the Javascriptjquery.coremedia.responsiveimages.js
is choosing a larger image according to thedevicePixelRatio
.
Fixed Issues
CMS-5230: Template basic#CMDownload.asLink.ftl generates incorrect HTML
Template CMDownload.asLink.ftl does not write UNDEFINED into link, anymore, and sets target attribute correctly now.
CMS-5137: Large CSS files are truncated
Fix CSS and Javascript delivery in CAE as merged and minified files. Large files could be truncated.
CMS-5112: Documentation of WCS Connector contains obsolete class names
Updated WCS customization documentation, removed obsolete and outdated confiiguration and code snippets and refer to files in workspace, instead.
CMS-4565: Missing info in ReferrersChangedEvent for historic replay leads to problems with Feeders
The Content Server now also stores referring content type and property for ReferrersChangedEvents in its change log. To this end, the Content Server automatically adds two columns
sourceType
andproperty
to itsLinkChangeLog
database table when started. This change avoids unnecessary possibly expensive reindexing when the CAE Feeder is restarted. It also ensures that the Content Feeder correctly updates the taxonomies of tagged contents after restarts of the Content Feeder.CMS-1388: Replace vagrant-ohai plugin with an ohai recipe
With the introduction of the new
blueprint-testing
cookbook, it is no longer necessary to install the vagrant-ohai plugin. The new cookbook contains aohai
recipe, that installs an ohai plugin that sets the correctnode'ipaddress'
attribute. This recipe should only be used in the context of a virtualization setup using a hostonly adapter.
