v4.7.29 release

Release date: July 15, 2025


v4.7.29 had three improvements, and 13 bug fixes.

Significant improvements

  • Enhanced the SiteMapEntry lastmod field to support full timestamp formatting with both date and time.
  • Added support for Java 16+.
  • Added the ability to export full URLs—including Permalink, Redirect (Permanent and Temporary), Alias, and CMS edit page URLs—from CMS search results and content reports.

Significant defects addressed

  • Resolved an issue where changes to a name made via a content form with a Global scope persisted, even after editing the form’s scope or deleting the form.
  • Addressed an issue where opening multiple links simultaneously could display incorrect previews.
  • Resolved an issue where the Archive button was visible and occasionally functional for users that did not have archive permissions in admin areas.
  • Resolved an issue where workflow options were missing when editing content revisions in draft or other non-published states.
  • Brightspot now redirects to the published path’s original casing, rather than always lowercasing URLs.
  • Resolved an issue where items filtered with @Where were not appearing in the Hierarchy view for reference fields.
  • Fixed an issue where attempting to publish a revision without a publish override would incorrectly reset the workflow, rather than publishing the revision as intended.
  • Fixed an issue where the contents of the Dari HTML <style> element were incorrectly escaped.
  • Removed an obsolete static database environment reference from TypePermission, replacing it with up-to-date usage of DatabaseEnvironment.getCurrent().
  • Resolved an issue where enabling the debug profiler would display unintended sequence numbers at the top of HTML pages.
  • Fixed an issue where hierarchy view allowed selection of sections owned by other sites.
  • Resolved issues with unnecessary spacing and padding in top-level widget messages and class notes.
  • Fixed an issue where QueryRestriction parameters could cause ObjectIdResultPage to display a blank page.
