Change Description

RHYT-38 - Content Browser not closing automatically after selecting item to the slot

The behavior of the Active Assembly Table editor was inconsistent between the Applet and DCE.  The Content Browser window was not closing correctly after adding an item to a Slot.  This has been corrected and the Content Browser will now close correctly in both the DCE and CE.

RHYT-1501 - DCE - Incorrect error message when logging in without a password

This was an accessibility issue.  The error messages displayed in the DCE dialog for Login issues were misleading for screen reader users.  The updated dialog now renders appropriate error messages for the Password / Username related errors. 

RHYT-1628 - Editlive Applet Security dialog shows Unknown publisher and Unknown Application

For customer's still using the EditLive editor, the editor has been updated to correct an issue with the Java Security prompt.

RHYT-1630 DCE - Content Editor Close button doesn't respond 

While working in the Desktop Content Explorer, the Content Editor Close button was not correctly closing the editor causing the user to have to click the corner X to close the window.  This has been corrected and the Content Editor should correctly close after applying this patch. 

RHYT-1668 - ContentBrowser dialog does not disappear clicking button to add Inline Images / Links / Templates in DCE

While working in the Desktop Content Explorer in the Rich Text Editor and adding inline links, templates, or images, the Content Browser would fail to close when the Close button was selected.  This issue has been resolved by this patch. 

RHYT-1781 - FTPS publishing to server with partial ports blocked caused FTPS edition to hangup all publishing

An issue was corrected where an FTPS publishing edition could effectively hangup all publishing on the server, including preventing shutdown, if an invalid port range was specified in the publisher-beans.xml configuration.  This issue has been corrected by this patch.  

RHYT-1830 - Setting "timeout" Property in FTP/S Config in Publisher-beans.xml Errors Out

A defect was corrected where setting a timeout value in the publisher-beans.xml for an FTP or FTPS job would cause publishing to fail.  The timeout property has been updated and now works correctly.

RHYT-1831 - Fix Hanging After Shutdown in SFTP/Amazon S3/Filesystem if shutdown initiated when publish is running

A new maxRetries property has been added to all Delivery Handlers (except Database Publishing) to limit the number of retry attempts that a delivery handler will use when trying to deliver content.  The default limit is 10.  This change affects the "Committing" stage of publishing, where content is being transferred to it's destination.  Shutting down the server while a Full Publish is in the commiting phase should now allow the service to be stopped cleanly, instead of "hanging" the shutdown until the Publishing is cancelled for all queued items. 

Known Issues

Java 1.8 update 161-171 - DCE Crashing When Switching between Applications

Client side Java JRE update 161 through update 171 introduced a regression in Oracle's web view JavaFX control that caused the DCE to crash when switching between applications.  Update 172 greatly improves on this issue, with a complete fix by Oracle targetting a July release.

RHYT-1634 - fixes an issue where you could not save in the UI if setting up ssl. There is still an issue where the tool is only currently saving Jetty ssl configuration.  JBoss will need to be manually configured.   If you select a keystore to be used you should make sure you add the jetty server keystore in the jetty\base\etc folder and use just the filename in the UI. in the base\etc\installation.properties file that is updated by the UI the selected filename will be appended with 'etc/' to make it relative to the jetty\base folder. Currently selecting a Full windows path e.g. starting with "c:\" will cause the service to fail to start.  This issue will be addressed in a future patch.
