v4.5.13 release

Release date: February 28, 2023


v4.5.13 had 24 bug fixes and four improvements.

Significant improvements

  • Replaced the error message Invalid Java field name! appearing in editorial content types with wording that provides better context and recommendations to resolve.
  • When designing a theme or template in Styleguide, the presets now default to Custom if no presets have been defined for that theme or template.
  • The Suggestions widget now displays field-specific suggestions in the same order as the corresponding content edit form. For example, a content edit form has a field for Sections followed by a field for Tags. The Suggestions widget displays a cluster for suggested sections followed by a cluster for suggested tags.
  • The content type Raw HTML was renamed to HTML Page.

Significant defects addressed

  • Corrected an issue in which queries working in Solr 4.6.1 no longer work in Solr 8.11.1.
  • Corrected an issue in which fields annotated with @Hidden were unavailable in custom content edit forms.
  • Corrected an issue that threw StringIndexOutOfBoundsException when getting DIMS image URLs.
  • Corrected an issue in which editing a rich-text field in the preview pane caused browser crashes or slowness.
  • Corrected an issue in which the Recent Activity and Unpublished Drafts widgets displayed error messages after saving an editorial content type.
  • Corrected an issue in which the search panel's export feature did not actually export assets in a non-visible state (such as in a workflow).
  • Corrected an issue preventing the conversion of a promo module from one-off to shared. For example, an editor created a one-off module to be used as a layout override. The module referred to an archived asset. In this scenario, the editor could no convert the one-off module to a shared module.
  • Corrected an issue in which the sites filter in the Content Types widget did not correctly display sites to which an editor had permissions.
  • Corrected an issue that caused a performance hit when using a self-service SAML authenticator.
  • Corrected an issue in which archived vanity and site redirects always threw error 404. For example, an admin archived the redirect from /index to /welcome. With this fix, requests to /index display the actual asset at /index.
  • Corrected the following issues pertaining to preview-to-edit:
    • Clicking on a particular field redirected editors to a different field in the content edit form.
    • Scrolling in the preview pane did not extend to the bottom of the pane.
  • Corrected an issue causing numbered lists with a customized start value to be removed from the rich-text editor. For example, an editor started a numbered list with 4. After saving or publishing the containing asset, the numbered list was removed.
  • Corrected an issue in which CMA resource file uploads failed when the uploaded file included nested diffs in variables.
  • Corrected an issue in which the rich-text editor in full-screen mode did not occupy the entire screen on a tablet.

Breaking changes

  • The fix for Solr 8.11.1 described above requires a SQL-to-Solr copy.
