CoreMedia CMS Improvements

Changes
  • The output adapter of the image transformer (Spring bean imageTransformerOutputAdapter) is configured to preserve image metadata by default. This is useful for images uploaded into the CMS within Studio.

    However, image metadata should generally be removed before an image is delivered by the CAE. Image metadata blows up the image size and may contain sensitive information which should not be accessible on public web sites.

    Therefore, the TransformedBlobHandler within the CoreMedia Blueprint now tells the image transformer to remove the image metadata with the removeMetadata (rm) image operation. Please make sure that this operation is issued by your CAE handler for transformed blobs if you do not use or upgrade the TransformedBlobHandler.

  • Apache Solr has been updated to version 4.10.0.
