Changes in this Patch

Defects Corrected

CMS-2572 - IDs are printed as the category instead of a string in the source HTML with XML publishing

After upgrade to CM1 5.3 Sites using Categories and the XML publishing feature were picking up the new UUID for the category instead of the Category Name.  This issue is resolved by this patch.  

CMS-2557 - Workflow transition issues have been resolved when approving/submitting items

This issues affects all prior versions of CM1 that use the Allowed Sites feature for Asset folders.  If a Site was deleted and the Site had been used in Allowed Sites for an Asset folder, Assets in that folder would fail to workflow with a Workflow Transition error.  This issue has been resolved. 

CMS-2682 - Delete site logic is not removing deleted site from 'allowed' sites configured with assets folders.

The delete site feature has been updated to remove any Allowed Site references when a site is deleted. 

CMS-2213 - LogicMonitor User Agent is heavily populating the server logs

System Administrators that use the Logic Monitor server monitoring tool to monitor their Percussion environment will no longer flood the server logs with unsupported user agent warnings. 

CMS-2694 - Missing mimetype and cache header when publishing to Amazon S3

The Amazon S3 publisher now correctly sets a cache header to allow for better client side caching. This is part of a round of Page speed work being done on the product.

CMS-2796 - RSS feeds cache concurrency errors have been resolved

This issue affected all prior versions of CM1 where in intermittent scenarios the RSS feed would fail with a 500 error. The defect is resolved. 

CMS-2656 - Javascript calls to DTS using EasyXDM do not fallback to error handler methods if the DTS is unavailable

This corrects an issue where in certain scenarios, if the DTS was down, or unavailable, static pages would render slowly. This is part of Page Speed work being done on the product.

CMS-2768 - Updated default ehcache.xml configuration with higher defaults for the Workflow cache.

A low default cache settings was negatively affecting overall system performance for customers using large numbers of Workflows. This has been corrected.

CMS-210 - Remove support for 32bit phantomJS and move to 64bit ver 2.1.1

The library used for creating thumbnails and screen shots of templates and pages was never updated to 64-bit when the product was migrated to 64-bit.  This resulted in issues on systems where certain 32-bit support libraries were not available.  The library has been updated to 64 bit to resolve this issue.
