Cascade CMS 8.22.1

Features/Improvements

• Updated system name generation logic used by Asset Factory Plugins and naming suggestion to ensure trailing special characters and successive characters, such as periods and hyphens, are not produced.
• S3 Transport no longer requires the corresponding S3 bucket to have ACLs enabled. Also replaced the need for a s3:ListAllMyBuckets permission with s3:ListBucket. See S3 Transport page for details.
• Improved handling of long running Velocity Formats which result in timeouts.
• Improved Google Analytics nightly syncing process to help reduce database contention.
• This release contains an upgrade to Tomcat 9.0.69
• Added a new copy button to clone/duplicate an occurrence of a field or group that is set to multiple.
• Improved memory usage when deleting users with many drafts.
• Temporary files, including those created during Site import and export, are cleaned up on a recurring basis.

Fixed

• Addressed an issue where, under certain circumstances, deleting/unpublishing a Folder would not delete the empty directory from the remote server.
• The icon will once again be shown for high priority Tasks on the dashboard and when viewing Tasks within the My Content area.
• Publishing related assets via Workflow Publish Trigger will now include all relationships.
• Overwriting existing assets using an Asset Factory will no longer throw constraint violation errors in certain situations.
• Addressed an issue where users who can not bypass data checks were able to submit without first viewing all checks with issues.
• The create and edit Web Services operations will no longer result in a role related error message if the parent Folder requires Workflow.
• Users can now unstar entities in bulk on the My Content screen without needing the Site Role ability to multi-select delete.
• The WORKFLOW_LATEST_COMMENTS Workflow Email placeholder will now function as expected during Workflow initialization. The WORKFLOW_NEXT_STEP_NAME placeholder has been removed. Existing usage of the WORKFLOW_NEXT_STEP_NAME placeholder will output as plaintext content until manually removed.
• The LDAP syncing process will now process orphaned users with Normal and Custom authentication mode. Additionally, the remove LDAP orphaned user behavior has been deprecated and will fall back to deactivate, to prevent from accidentally mass deleting users during an erroneous LDAP sync. The remove behavior will be removed as a valid LDAP orphaned user behavior in a future release.
• Images with a Base64 encoded src value will no longer be rewritten when viewing the WYSIWYG's HTML editor.
• Addressed an issue where, under certain situations, caches were not properly discarded between publish jobs.
• Title and "new window" values will no longer be removed when inserting links within announcements.
• Addressed an issue where drag 'n drop to move within the Site's content tree would pre-select the wrong new parent folder.
• Improved security of "Remember me" login functionality. Additionally, if the user enables the "Remember me" functionality, the user will be automatically logged back after a restart of the application as opposed to being forwarded to the Log In screen.
