Improvements in this Patch

This patch includes a couple of issues that did not make the cut for the prior patches and late breaking corrections for customer reported issues.

Security

TLS 1.2 is now enabled for both the DTS and CM1 by default.  TLSv1 has not been disabled at this patch level, but will be retired in the 5.4 release, and/or in a future 5.3 patch.  This patch will update the DTS http and https connectors in the conf/server.xml file with a good security configuration for SSL as well as enabling compression. 

For system admins that may have customized their Http or Https connectors, and do not want Percussion to update the security settings, they may add a perc-no-update="true" attribute to each Tomcat Connector that they do not want updated prior to installing the patch, and the patch installer will skip those Connectors when the patch is applied. 

Performance

Improvements were made in the following areas:  Navigation, Publishing, and Site Management.   A new Layout property was added to the Navigation widget to limit the number of Navigation items returned at both starting and ending levels. 

RSS Feeds

Rss feed will now generate absolute links (instead of relative links) to images included in the Page Sumary when the canonical link feature is enabled. 

Blog List / Page Autolist / Result List Pagination

The Pagination feature has been updated to generate correct "link rel" tags while Paging to better support SEO.
