Package updates and enterprise features

In this release we added new technical enterprise features and fixed many bugs.

Features

• We made the login process easier for cases when there is only a single domain: users do not have to specify the domain when logging in.
• The SnAuthorize attribute on OData operations requires the full group path from now on so that groups/roles are referred to correctly.
• Content types can be marked as system types so that clients can decide which types should be displayed to the user.
• Preview generation can be switched on or off on a folder level to avoid starting unnecessary preview generation tasks.

Bug fixes

• The OData table formatter uses the select and expand parameters correctly.
• Only content types are allowed in the content types subtree (system folder is removed as an option).
• File and Image types are both added as allowed types on the Content default folder so that new users can start uploading immediately.
• Trace category configuration and settings are loaded and merged correctly during startup.

Testing and infrastructure

• We continued converting our backend API to async methods with adding and using new Save, ContentQuery and Delete methods.
• We continued moving our components to the .Net service container: TextExtractors can be registered using a modern registration approach.
• Our projects are converted to .Net 6. This required us to replace the old binary serialization with a modern solution.
• We started improving repository performance in a load balanced environment.

Installation

Introducing Regex and OpenApi

In this release we added some new exciting enterprise features, fixed a huge number of bugs and added features that will support the standalone working mode in sensenet.

Features

• We introduced Regex queries. This is an extension of the current Lucene query language and available everywhere when you execute a sensenet query.
• We introduced an experimental OpenApi implementation for content CRUD operations.
• From now on it is possible to download index documents through the REST API. This lets developers examine the index more closely when searching for issues.

Bug fixes

• We added a more informative error message to field update cases.
• Settings content files are not cached on the client anymore to avoid reverting back to an older version on admin UI.
• Indexing localized values and setting indexing info during import is fixed.
• The incremental naming error is fixed.
• Wildcard expression lowercase issue in a LINQ for sensenet environment is fixed.
• It is possible to fetch the Checked out to field of a settings content correctly.
• Content type definition Description is localized and indexed correctly.
• Prevent users from setting their birth dates in the future.
• Uploading an empty file on top of an existing file is possible through the REST API. Admin UI (client-side) fix is coming in a later release.

Testing and infrastructure

• We continued refactoring our storage configuration to use the new service API.
• Several providers have been refactored to use the new DI api.
• ISnService and tracer instances, Binary provider, OData operation inspector and the indexing activity feature also use the new DI api.
• We continued our efforts towards a standalone sensenet install package that developers can use in a container environment.

Installation

To get started please visit docs.sensenet.com.

Automatic repository install

In this release we fixed a huge number of bugs and added new features that will support the standalone working mode in sensenet.

Features

• sensenet is able to install the repository database automarically when an application (for example a web app) is started for the first time.
• The email sending and change password features were ported to the base sensenet codebase from SNaaS.
• It is possible to extend webhook post data with custom properties and dynamic parameters.

Bug fixes

• Indexing reference fields is fixed: now all ids are indexed correctly for a reference field, so searching for them is possible.
• Public administrators got more permissions by default so they can manage CTDs more easily.

Testing and infrastructure

• We continued the work on converting our providers to instances (for example TreeLock, security handler, indexing, connection strings).
• The IDataProviderExtension interface has been removed to simplify extension registration.
• We moved most of the MS SQL providers to a separate package so that you can avoid loading unnecessary default services in your project.

Installation

To get started please visit docs.sensenet.com.

API key feature

In this release we fixed a huge number of bugs and finally added the possibility to authenticate using an API key - a must-have feature for 3rd party integrations.

Features

• the new API key feature lets 3rd party applications connect to the repository using a secure API key without having to go through a complex authentication process.
• added the repository url to the webhooks posted properties collection so that the receiver know the origin repository.

Bug fixes

• we start and stop the search service properly during installation.
• add a better error message when the parent is missing during an OData content creation request.
• fixed two statistics generation bugs that caused an infinite loop during aggregated statistics generation.
• added a few missing initial permissions for public admins.
