Release Summary

Ingeniux CMS Version 10.1 includes more than 400 updates. Learn more about key enhancements and important upgrade information below.

Release History

  • December 12, 2018 - Build 10.1.105 - Latest release update to the initial release of CMS 10.1 (build 10.1.69)

10.1.105 Updates

  • To address DSS Preview performance issues related to global export expansion, the following app settings were added to the DSS web.config (boolean, true by default): IGXPreview/ExpandGlobalExportsOnEntryInit and IGXPreview/PrefetchEntireXmlCache.
  • Added null reference handling for errors that could occur for Multi-format Output publishes/Expand on Publish pages that happen to have references to xIDs that are missing their Page Versions from the database. These offending xIDs will be logged in the CSAPI logs.
  • Added a new appSetting, AttributesWithDynamicVariables, in DSS web.config to define custom root-level Schema attributes that are allowed to contain expanded global dynamic variables.
  • Fixed: Modified CSAPI code to prevent a semaphore limit error that can sometimes occur when conducting large batch operations.
  • Fixed: SignalR calls in the CMS UI would not properly close in some instances, which could result in issues with the CMS not responding for 90 seconds.
  • Fixed: Page Creation Rule Content Upgrader during CMS Upgrade may leave some page creation rules with an empty descriptor, which results in a permission alert when attempting to use the PCR as a non-admin.
  • Fixed: Users who did not have publishing permissions received an error when configuring Workflow Transitions that included a Publish action.
  • Fixed: CMS 9 sites that happened to retain legacy ReplicationTaskDetail documents in RavenDB would result in application pool issues after upgrading to CMS 10. The CMS upgrade process will now test and remove these legacy documents if present.
  • Fixed: Cutting and pasting an asset folder into the same parent node would remove the folder.
  • Fixed: CSAPI Session issue would prevent check-in of pages that contained embedded lists of components.
  • Fixed: Links could be created on XHTML elements for Checked-In pages via drag-and-drop from the Site Tree.
  • Fixed: Checking in an asset to one publishing target would not update other publishing targets to reflect the previous version.
  • Fixed: For site implementations who happened to have StartDate and EndDate reserved values defined as Navigation Exports, a bypass in the RTAPI was added so that these export values would still function after upgrade to CMS 10.1+. Note that if these values are set as navigation exports, they will override Page Properties' Start and End Dates (if configured).
  • Fixed: Navigation Exports that happen to retrieve an Asset ID that no longer exists in the CMS will result in a 500 error in Preview.
  • Fixed: The CSAPI IReplicator.Replicate method call would fail when invoked within a write session.
  • Fixed: The enter key now confirms the OK action when using a Page Creation Rule to create a content item.
  • Fixed: Querystrings were not being passed to the To value for Redirect rules.

Detailed Information

DSS RTAPI Now NuGet Deployed

The core DSS libraries are now deployed on NuGet. During upgrade or installation of a new 10.1 site where the rebuild DSS Preview option is selected all local RTAPI references will be converted to NuGet references. In the future, all DSS updates can be performed via NuGet. This update also vastly reduces the amount of DLLs that must be checked into source controls systems.

Local DSS Application Variable Replaces Reference.SiteSearch for ISS Custom Controller

If your InSite Search (ISS) implementation relies on a custom controller, you can no longer retrieve the SiteSearch object via Reference.SiteSearch property. Instead, the Site Search instance is a DSS application variable as of CMS 10.1. This change was necessary to move to NuGet Based deployment. If you are using a custom controller, change any instance of the Reference.SiteSearch property to the DSS's local application variable. See Implementing ISS After CMS Site Upgrade for details.

Microsoft .NET Framework 4.7.2 Required

In order to support future DSS enhancements, Microsoft .NET Framework 4.7.2 is now a required software system prerequisite on the CMS server. The .NET 4.7.2 Developer Targeting Pack is also required on any development machine to build the DSS Preview or DSS project moving forward. The .NET 4.7.2 install requires a host OS reboot during installation.

Sites Setup Uses the RavenDB Voron Storage Type by Default

In the near future, RavenDB will no longer be supporting Microsoft ESENT in their product roadmap and will only support the RavenDB Voron storage engine. To prepare for this change, CMS 10.1 introduces the ability to configure CMS sites using Voron. When setting up a new site using the Ingeniux CMS 10.1 Site Instance Wizard, the storage type will default to Voron and users will have the option change the storage type on new sites:

Currently, there is no option to switch from an Esent storage type to a Voron storage type for existing in place upgrades. If you would like to switch to Voron, it will require a manual process at this time.

New Element Type: XML Field

Previously, if users wanted to embed XML on a page, the user would have to upload an XML file to the Prebuilt folder and add an insert element to a page that referenced the XML file. This new element will allow users to embed a piece of XML directly on the page without having to reference a separate XML file. The new element uses an Ace editor that users can enter their XML. The XML is embedded directly under the field element during serialization. The Ingeniux DSS is required for this feature.

Setting Up a New CMS with the CMS Site Setup Wizard Using Site Export Disables Replication Profiles for All Publishing Targets

Setting up a new CMS with the CMS Site Setup Wizard using Site Export will automatically disable replication profiles for all publishing targets. This feature was implemented so that when sites are setup outside of production (development or local environments), it prevents the accidental publish and replication to production DSS environments. While the replication profiles are disabled, the replication profile settings are still retained when they are re-enabled.

Known Issues

  • Customers who used pre-release builds of CMS 10.1 (10.1.11 through 10.1.33) and have exports from this pre-release range may encounter a site setup failure when using these exports if they include the Custom folder. This is due to a duplicate signature entry in the Custom\CustomHooks.cs file for OnAfterWorkflowAdvance an OnBeforeWorkflowAdvance. In order to use this export, you will need to modify the CustomHooks.cs file in your export package to remove the duplicate signatures.
  • Customers who are using InSite Search in their DSS Projects will need to upgrade their InSite Search packages to version 2.10.x pre-release or above in order for search operations to function after upgrading the project to Ingeniux CMS 10.

Who Should Upgrade

  • CMS 10.0 customers should upgrade to CMS 10.1.
  • CMS 9.0 customers should upgrade to CMS 9.0 SR8 prior to upgrading to CMS 10.1.
  • CMS 8.0 customers can upgrade to Ingeniux CMS 10.1 without an intermediate upgrade. CMS 8 customers with extensive custom hooks or custom tabs should carefully evaluate the level of effort required to migrate the JScript to C# syntax.
  • CMS 7.5 and earlier customers must first upgrade to CMS 8.0 temporarily before continuing to migrate to Ingeniux CMS 10.1.
  • Ingeniux CMS OnDemand customers will be contacted by Ingeniux Support regarding the schedule for their OnDemand UAT and upgrade.

Upgrade Guidelines

To upgrade to Ingeniux CMS 10.1, follow these steps:

  1. Review the Ingeniux CMS System Requirements.
  2. Review the CMS 10 Upgrade Guide.
  3. Contact Ingeniux Support to request a CMS 10.1 product key if you do not have one already.
  4. Configure a test environment with CMS 10.1 using a replica of the CMS 8.0 XML content or CMS 9.0/CMS 10.0 export.
  5. Create a new site in the test environment using the CMS and DSS Site Setup wizards. See the Installation Guide for details on how to do this.
  6. Run the Ingeniux CMS Site Instance Wizard in the test environment to upgrade the site content to the latest version of Ingeniux CMS.
  7. Evaluate the site implementation in CMS 10.1 within the test environment.
  8. Perform a full publish and set up a DSS site in the test environment to evaluate the latest DSS features.
    Note

    In most cases, DSS upgrades are now performed automatically by the upgrade wizard included in CMS 10.1. Customers upgrading their MVC template sites can continue to update the Ingeniux API DLL in their Visual Studio project manually, build the DSS site, and deploy the new files to the DSS code location.

  9. Implement the CMS 10.1 upgrade in the production environment with the same process.

Ingeniux Support is available to work with your organization to determine the optimal plan and time frame to upgrade to the Ingeniux CMS 10.1 release.
