Build 10.5.147 Updates

Page Properties Usage information would not update to show xIDs referenced within XHTML elements.
Newly created Custom URLs that contained multiple forward-slashes would have the inner slashes removed from the path on save.
WorkflowClientParameters used in Custom Workflow Actions did not provide a method to get Assets transitioned through a workflow.

Build 10.5.146 Updates

Updated Google Analytics in the CMS to support their Google's updated Analytics OAuth method. Google deprecated their previous analytics authentication method that was used in the CMS. More information can be found in the following known issue statement.
An issue blocked CMS logins on browsers that were set to a language other than US English. Users can now successfully log in to the CMS, no matter the browser language.
Applied fixes around site control cache and navigation cache rebuild scenarios on the DSS site. Updated navigations did not contain expected content or, in edge cases, were missing from a page.
Resolved "Invalid or null session for this manager" errors that displayed when viewing users with assignments in the Users Manager.
Workflow notification emails sometimes did not contain the CMS site base URL for links within the message body. The links now contain the URL.
Unmarked assets within legacy asset folder locations (Documents, Images, Media) returned a 200 response on the DSS server if the published asset files still existed on the server. They now return a 404 response when requested.
Fixed issue where, if asset names contained invalid Windows file system characters, the CMS threw a fatal error on publish and replication.

Build 10.5.128 Updates

The DSS Runtime API (RTAPI) now only checks for a valid license key when its application pool starts and will create a log entry of any license validation issues.
Certain CMS publishing target configurations would cause upgraded sites to generate incorrect Structured URL paths on content items after publishes.
After upgrading to 10.5.114, asset file extensions would sometimes be missing if the asset was given a -1 value for its _PublishingTargetMarkings key in RavenDB.
Navigations would not show updated changes in its navigation content on initial publish of those changes to the DSS.
Taxonomy and asset taxonomy navigations would not be updated with the correct value of the pageCount attribute on the DSS.
References navigation element would throw Raven.Client.Exceptions.RavenException error when attempting to selected related items.
Content items that are untagged from a category would still display in a taxonomy navigation after a single-page publish. Prior to this fix, the workaround was to run a site incremental publish.
In-place CMS upgrades would fail when run against CMS sites with asset security descriptors.
Attempting to view a large list of assigned content items for a group caused the CMS to become unresponsive.
Checking out an asset folder that contained a period in the name would truncate the folder name.
Searching for a component by name in the Component Picker modal threw an error if no component schema was selected beforehand.
DSS Preview XML data would not show an asset's extension unless the asset was marked for publish.
Administrators were unable to save new Azure Replication Profiles in the CMS.
Files would not have the correct content type set when replicating to an Azure replication target.
Updated Log4Net to 2.0.14 in the CMS project. Updated SharpZipLib to 1.3.3 in the CMS project.
RavenDB updated to 5.2.101.

Build 10.5.114 Updates

Upgrades from 10.3 and below to 10.5 would not complete on Windows Server 2012 environments because RavenDB was run as Local Service. The upgrader now has an option to select Local System to bypass this issue on the affected environments.
Upgrades from CMS 10.1/10.2 to 10.5 would throw an error due to the MarkedContentItemsByPublishingTarget index missing from the database.
Users would receive a permission error when attempting to use Page Creation Rules after upgrading from 10.3.176 to 10.5.94.
Connection strings between the CMS and DSS Preview would not match after upgrades or setups from site exports if the site was configured for certificate thumbprint use.
Site Setups will now check any stopped CMS RavenDB services to ensure there are no overlapped port assignments.
An error would occur when attempting to upgrade a blank CMS site with the Backup Raven Database option enabled.
Empty results or a null reference error occurred when users attempted to run Reports within the CMS.
The CSAPI Path method contained two default parameters. The CSAPI Path method contains one default parameter now.
Ingeniux CMS Site Wizard upgrader would fail if the database was previously configured on a separate disk on the same CMS server.
Changes to the Site Base URL value on the Publishing Target configuration would not update the reference.xml file after incremental publishes.
Renamed Assets would return a 404 response on the DSS after publishing.
Hidden field values on embedded components would revert to the schema's default values when a non-admin made edits to the component.
Link elements returned empty on DSS Preview due to a sliding cache expiration timeout that prevented cached values from refreshing.
Users with only read-access permissions to a content item could still rename them via the toolbar button.
Removed an extra ">" character in the UI when selecting a Page Creation Rule.
Addressed an issue where the DSS failed to render if the CMS could not communicate with the Ingeniux licensing endpoint.
Configuration property in CMSWebAPIControllerBase class would override access to the HTTP Configuration base class.
Updated references for dotless.Core from 1.5.2.0 to 1.6.7.0.
Included various updates for CMS REST endpoints.

Important

For DSS Preview project upgrades in CMS 10.5.128+: When upgrading the DSS Preview project to 10.5.128+, dependency conflicts may occur during the upgrade process related to an update in RavenDB packages. Restore the RavenDB.Client 5.2.101 NuGet package to resolve these conflicts.

See Restoring RavenDB.Client 5.2.101 NuGet Package for details.
As of build 10.5.128: Upgrading to 10.5.128 will no longer automatically rebuild the DSS/DSS Preview solutions during the upgrader process. It is recommended to manually rebuild your DSS projects with Visual Studio moving forward.
Breaking Change: Prior to 10.5, the Custom Hooks method OnPublishComplete failed if an error or cancellation occurs during a publish operation. In the CMS 10.5 update, the OnPublishComplete method always executes, even after a publish interruption. Developers who relied on the previous behavior in their Custom Hooks code must update their code to account for this change.
Ingeniux CMS has upgraded its security model to include certificates that perform behind-the-scenes operations (e.g., data encryption on disk, SSL resolution). In version 10.5, all authentication is accomplished through certificates.

See CMS 10.5 Installation and Upgrades and RavenDB Certificates for configuration details.
Customers who have created Custom Tabs / Applications will need to check these projects to ensure that they update Microsoft Sytem.Web.MVC to version 5.2.7 prior to upgrade. In addition, Custom Hook or Custom Tab/App implementations that leverage the RavenDB 3.5 client library for low-level API calls will need to update their projects for RavenDB 5.2 client libraries as of build 10.5.128, which will involve updates to code in order to ensure that updated methods are used as well.

Key Enhancements

Database Upgrade to RavenDB 4.2 (RavenDB 5.2 as of build 10.5.128)
- Content Store database now runs as a Windows .NET Core Service.
- Improved publishing completion speeds.
Site Migrator can now package managed and external assets via asset folders. Assets can be packaged with or without Site pages.
Now users can limit the number of asset schema versions and set maximum storage quotas on asset schemas.
Microsoft Azure Application Insights
- Added custom metrics and events via Application Insights to track the performance of CMS actions in different environments.
- Developers can now connect Ingeniux CMS to a Microsoft Azure Application Insights profile to monitor basic application performance metrics.
Added option to specify 302 temporary redirects via the Redirects application.
Added the Download button to the toolbar in the asset folder view to download selected assets.
Localization now allows administrators to add definitions for asset schemas.
Translate tab now compares the current master page version to the last finalized master version and then displays the differences. This tool helps translators to know what changed in the master lingual map since the last finalized clone translation.
Improved user experience by adding favorites icon to title bars of content items. Also, users can now add a/IDs and af/IDs to Favorites from Dashboard. Assets are now visible in the In Progress area of the Dashboard.
Added new option in System Options to provide administrators with ability to run publishes with or without local exports. Note that the CMS disables local exports for new sites by default.
In the Publish dialog, users can now select publishing profiles in addition to individual publishing targets when executing a publish.
CMS administrators and developers can now view (read-only) and download a copy of CustomHooks.cs in Administration > Maintenance.
Added WorldView Paste As Clone Without Children functionality.

Improvements

The CMS version number of the current build now displays within the CSAPI logs.
Improved memory statistics in Administration > Maintenance > Database Stats for customers who upgrade to RavenDB 4.2.
Enhanced accuracy of progress bar percentages for active publishes and replications in Publishing Monitor.
Implemented Angular updates for the InSite Search Configuration UI.
Refactored how RavenDB stores publishing and replication logs by compressing entries into JSON attachments. These attachments link to the most recent publishing/replication logs via tracking documents.
Updated various localization strings for the CMS UI.
Various improvements and fixes have been made to the Site Tree and Asset Tree UI.
Upgraded TinyMCE to version 4.9.5.
Updated the Localization UI to use Angular.
Updated the CLI installer to support CMS 10.5 options.
Updated cryptography methods in the CMS. Blowfish is no longer used.

Integrated PageBuilder element editing into In-Context Editing (ICE).
Added the Schema column to Workflow Reports. This column lists the schema type of each content item in the workflow.
Users can now exit Assets Manager's Create Asset flyout area by clicking the Close button.
Added the Required Alt Text on Images checkbox to asset elements in Schema Designer. When the checkbox is selected and when the asset element contains an image value, the element requires content contributors to enter alt text before checking in the content item.
Document links now include last modified value of asset objects in the XML. This improvement helps administrators to determine if associated assets have changed.
Go to search results now indicate if pages reside in the Recycle Folder via strikethrough styling. This improvement will help to determine the locations of identically or similarly named pages.
In Workflows Designer, administrators can now set Self as the Default User for workflow transitions. If selected, the name of the user who is advancing the content item displays as the top list item choice in the Advance Workflow dialog's Assign To drop-down list.
If your site requires local exports, enable this option after upgrade.
Creating Page Builder presentations would replace the attach-point node, so any associated CSS classes would be lost. Now Page Builder preserves these CSS classes.
Asset schema metadata in custom lists now populate XMP files during serialization and subsequent publish.
Content Freeze notification emails now include the CMS Application Name in the message body.
Improved Page Builder so administrators can now restrict its Presentation Content Units (PCUs) to specific schemas (in addition to parent page restriction).
Added a component name attribute (ComponentName) for expanded component elements.
When cropping image assets, users can now view the new dimensions before confirming the change.
Changed DEBUG log level to INFO for page Publish Management term dates and Advanced settings, locale settings, and security inheritance descriptors.
When administrators select the Create/Edit view to create a schema, Schema Designer now auto-populates the schema type (i.e., page, component, or asset) that displays in the Management tab.
Improved Site Status progress bar to display the current running task's percentage of completion.
Improved Publishing System efficiency by skipping the file copy portion of a publication if metadata has changed but the binary asset file itself has not.
Developers who automated incremental publishes via scheduled tasks would receive an error message if no CMS changes took place between publishing intervals. These messages are now pushed to their own warning log levels.

Fixes

Corrected XPath error in Administration > Reports > Site Reports ;> Pages by partial schema name report. The report now returns accurate results.
Attempting to download an asset folder that contains external assets or assets that are missing their binary files resulted in a .NET error.
CMS no longer prevents users from entering the number eight (i.e., 8) in XHTML editor and text fields within ICE and Page Builder.
The Properties tab within the Recycle Folder of Site Tree would not load. The tab now displays without issue.
Paste as Clone function created multiple referenced clones if the master page contained multiple references to a sibling. Now, Paste as Clone keeps track of when a referenced clone xID is created, and updates all other references to this xID, accordingly.
CMS would not allow users to save text file assets without content. Now, users can save empty text files in Assets Manager.
Fixed issue that prevented users from interacting with the third item within the Favorites area of the Dashboard.
Fixed issue where, if users had permissions to create assets but not to add content to workflows, they encountered an error if the associated asset schema added new assets to workflows automatically.
When users with specific asset permissions check in modified assets, the asset Overview content now renders in the appropriate tab and not in the Properties tab.
Unmanaged assets had resulted in errors when building form pages. Form Builder XSLT files are now recognized by the CMS even if they are not managed assets.
Fixed issue where stock DSS or DSS Preview solutions failed to rebuild due to an invalid reference to an Application Insights dependency.
Fixed issue that prevented pages from being created under child pages via the Content Creation Wizard even if the Page Creation Rule wasn't restricted to parent pages only.
Fixed issue that prevented assets from being deleted from the Recycle Folder in the Assets Tree.
Fixed issue that displayed an object reference error on a content item if a workflow workstate assigned a deleted user group to the content item.
Now, if users advance content items to workflow workstates with deleted groups, the CMS states that no transitions are available, and the CSAPI log indicates the deleted group.
Reinstating a deleted asset to its original folder caused a file collision error if target folder contained another file with same name but different extension. Now, Assets Manager checks filename and file extension to prevent collision.
Publishing Monitor displayed previous replication label, which was set in Publishing System, after the label had been renamed. Now, a renamed replication label in Publishing System matches its Publishing Monitor rendition.
The time selector value no longer changes when users hover over it while scrolling with their mouse wheels.
The CMS CLI Installer's Replace action now requires administrators to provide an export parameter (required) before running the action.
When administrators removed all parent pages from a PCR and then selected Do not save in the Save Page Creation Rule dialog, the PCR wouldn't save subsequent changes. Administrators can now save subsequent changes without issue.
Users could click the Unpack button in Site Migrator before they selected packages. Now, users cannot click this button until packages have been selected.
Ported back support for passing in IPublishingTarget values for the CheckInSingleWithNoValidate CSAPI method. This had been changed from IPublishingTarget to a string value in the initial release of CMS 10.3 to support new work.
The Propagate Publishes to Latest Version > Page and Children context menu option didn't update children. This option now automatically checks in children and marks each content item's current version for publish.
When administrators uploaded a schema with two different field types of same name, the first field entry duplicated in the other entry. Schema Designer now appropriately maps each field type that shares same name.
Site Migrator can now import schemas that do not contain elements.
Users can now resize column headers in Chrome and IE file browsers.
When administrators navigated from one user or group to another, the Users/Groups manager would always return to the Info tab. Now, Users/Groups retains focus on the active tab rather than returning to the Info tab when users switch users or groups.
Added check against node-level security to determine visibility of content items in the Assignments list.
Administrators can no longer use the Overview toolbar to rename checked-out assets assigned to other users.
Fixed issue that prevented submitting content for publish after creating the publishing target.
Toggle Publishing Target Root Markings button is now scoped only for the selected publishing target in Site Tree.
Users were not able to expand Taxonomy Tree when categories contained umlauts. Now umlauts no longer prevents Taxonomy Tree expansion.

Users with Edit permissions but without any Site Tree permissions no longer see the Site Tree icon in the Utility Bar.
Clear button on the References Navigation element now removes references from element.
Updated various localization strings for the CMS UI.
Dragging a pending publish onto another pending publish in the publishing queue no longer removes the dragged publish entry from the Publishing Monitor view.

Added a scroll bar to the Publishing Monitor Replication area that displays when replicating content to multiple targets.
DSS redirects no longer cache host name values.
Added error message that informs users that unmanaged asset folders with stylesheets must be switched to managed folders before the contained stylesheets can be used.
After users selected asset element images in the Design tab, the images wouldn't display without saving the page. Now, these images display immediately after users select them.
The WorldView tab now prevents dragging pages and assets to the Add Clone(s) field if those items exist under the same locale as the master.
An error prevented unmanaged asset folders from being renamed. The error no longer displays.

Improved preview request performance, which translates into much faster preview resolution speeds. This will be particularly relevant for customers with a large volume of content.
Page's Security tab now indicates that the Administrators group has full page access. This change was made to alleviate confusion as to why workflow notification emails were only sent to a subset of members in a transition group due to users not having permissions to the page itself.
Fixed asset issue that, after managing the stylesheet folder, prevented users from unmanaging the folder.
Site Migrator failed during the packaging process. Now, integrity check messaging lists asset IDs with missing binary files on disk. This list allows administrators to address these items prior to packaging.

During schema creation, users can now configure security before saving new schemas.
When administrators delete new, unsaved user agent definitions, the agents now delete without issue.
In Find/Replace, users had no way to browse for replacement IDs. Now users can click a Browse button to pick replacement IDs in XHTML elements.
Added a persistent drop-down arrow for Insert elements in Form View.
Renaming an asset would display the modal window title as Rename Page. Now this modal window displays the title as Rename Asset.
Fixed formatting issues on various browser alert messages.
Fixed issue where the Page.RemoveCategory method didn't remove categories from their associated site pages.
Fixed issue where, if a user modified and saved an asset's notes or Restrict Asset Publication settings and then saved a change in a separate asset, the CMS copied the first asset's changes to the second asset.

Users can now save images after resizing them in XHTML editor.
Under certain conditions, creating PCRs through the Dashboard caused the Administration view to be inaccessible. Now, a null check has been added that fixes this scenario.
Long string values in multiselect fields were truncated to conserve space; however, users had no way to see the full value. The full values of multiselect fields now display in tooltips.
When users searched for assets by their ID (e.g., a/1234) in Go to search, exact matches didn't consistently display at the top of the results list. Now, exact matches always display at the top.
In Users/Groups, a pre-defined role displayed for existing groups, even though the role hadn't been applied. Now, when administrators select a group, the roles drop-down list resets.
Users encountered 404 errors when requesting assets (e.g., http://mydsssite.com/prebuilt/myFile.txt) in an unmanaged prebuilt folder. Now, these unmanaged prebuilt assets render as expected on DSS sites.
Utility Bar Search returned results for any content items. Now, the results only display content items that the current user has permissions to access.
Fixed issue that displayed assigned group and user IDs instead of their friendly names in content item search results.
The URLMapEntryByPath index stored null PageId values in all reduce result sets. Now, the system reindexes URLMapEntryByPath upon upgrade.
When users check in mass-imported content items, the action no longer reorders those items in the Site Tree.
Applying the Assets Tree context menu cut/paste operations on unmanaged asset folders threw an error. Users can now cut/paste unmanaged asset folders without issue.

DSS Instance Setup Wizard No Longer Supports Upgrading Classic Runtime Instances

The DSS Instance Setup Wizard no longer supports upgrading classic runtime instances (XSLT runtime sites). These instances now require a CMS 10.3 upgrade before upgrading to CMS 10.5.

Who Should Upgrade

Customers running CMS 10.3 or below should upgrade to CMS 10.5.
CMS 9.0 customers should upgrade to CMS 9.0 SR8 prior to upgrading to CMS 10.3.
CMS 8.0 customers can upgrade to Ingeniux CMS 10.2 without an intermediate upgrade using the Migrate from v8 installation feature. 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 10.5.
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 10.5, follow these steps:

Review the Ingeniux CMS System Requirements.
Review the CMS 10 Upgrade Guide.
Contact Ingeniux Support to request a CMS 10.5 product key if you do not have one already.
Configure a test environment with CMS 10.5 using a replica of the CMS 8.0 XML content or CMS 9.0/CMS 10.0+ site export.
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.
Run the Ingeniux CMS Site Instance Wizard in the test environment to upgrade the site content to the latest version of Ingeniux CMS.
Evaluate the site implementation in CMS 10.5 within the test environment.
Perform a full publish and set up a DSS site in the test environment to evaluate the latest DSS features. A DSS site upgraded to 10.5 code base will only render content published from a CMS on 10.5.

Note

In most cases, DSS upgrades are now performed automatically by the upgrade wizard included in CMS 10.5. 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.
Implement the CMS 10.5 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 10.5 release.
