CoreMedia CMS Improvements

Changes
  • Apache Solr has been updated to version 4.8.0. The Apache Solr project recommends to use Java 7 update version u55 or later. Earlier versions of Oracle Java 7 and OpenJDK 7 have some bugs that may lead to problems with Lucene and Solr.

  • Elasticsearch has been updated to version 1.1.1.

  • The MongoDB Java driver has been updated to version 2.12.0.

  • SLF4J has been updated to version 1.7.6.

  • Removed field format of Site Manager API class hox.corem.editor.proxy.CalendarModel. You can use new SimpleDateFormat(CalendarModel.DATE_FORMAT) instead.

CoreMedia Studio Improvements

API Changes
  • The signature of the method CollectionViewManager#openSearchForType() was changed from

    function openSearchForType(type:String, view:String = null)
        :void;

    to

    function openSearchForType(type:String, view:String = null,
        baseFolder:Content = null):void;

    For detailed information please consult the ASDoc of com.coremedia.cms.editor.sdk.collectionview.CollectionViewManager

  • The FilterState has been deleted. Use SearchFilterState instead.

CoreMedia Elastic Social Improvements

CoreMedia LiveContext for IBM WebSphere Commerce Improvements

CoreMedia Project Improvements

  • Updated the coremedia-application-maven-plugin to 2.7.6.

  • Changed the type of the chef_runlist variable from array to string in order to make it replaceable with the nugrant plugin. This will be changed back to array, when nugrant plugin 2.0.0 is released and allows merge strategies for user values.

  • A new recipe to create sitemap cronjobs on a delivery node has been added to replace the removal of the RPM cronjob installation. Add recipe[coremedia::sitemaps] to your chef run list to activate the cronjobs. The configuration of the sites has been added to the delivery role.

    As a result the token configure.BLUEPRINT_SITEMAP_ENABLED has been removed.
