Jahia 5.0 SP3 Released

Jahia 5.0 SP3 released

This 3rd Service Pack for the Jahia 5.0 release 
is mainly a performance pack (please read 
carefully the 
<http://www.jahia.net/download/jahia5.0/stable/README_5.0.3_01.html>Readme 
file and the new 
<http://www.jahia.net/jahia/webdav/site/jahia_net/shared/Documentation/5.0.3/Jahia5_Performance_Guide_SP3.pdf>Performance 
Guide) It also include a few generic development 
sponsorized by certain customers. We strongly 
recommend to all Jahia 5 customers to migrate to 
Jahia 5.0.3 (SP3) as it corrects hundreds of issues.

Important information for Jahia developers: 
Starting from the SP3, the trunk SVN branch will 
become the stable branch. Until the SP3, Jahia 
had two main active branch (Head and SP 
branches). Starting from the SP3, all new major 
enhancements will be developed in distinct 
branches and the HEAD branch will become the 
stable one. The old SP branch will become an 
archive. Please modify your IDE environment accordingly.


New features and bugfixes in Jahia 5.0.3

The following performance improvements are part of Jahia 5.0.3 :

Performance (Please read carefully the new 
<http://www.jahia.net/jahia/webdav/site/jahia_net/shared/Documentation/5.0.3/Jahia5_Performance_Guide_SP3.pdf>Performance 
Guide)
Dozens of performance optimizations are included 
in this SP3 release. Page rendering in live and 
edit modes have been significantly optimized. 
Such changes also include the refactoring of the 
permission and workflow state systems. It also 
included several code synchronizations 
optimizations. Please check the

5 Performance Roadmap or the

log file for more details.

ESI
We add a new mode for ESI that caches fragments 
only in live mode and invalidates them using a 
time-based rules instead of having to send 
invalidation messages coming from the back-end Jahia servers.

Indexation
We added new options in order to delay 
(re)indexation of the jahia content objects to a 
given hour (e.g. midnight). New options are 
available in order to immediately index certain 
content objects and to delay other indexation 
tasks to a later time. The system administrator 
can also now setup the system in order to delay 
to a later time the indexation of attached binary 
files (e.g. PDF or Word documents) while directly 
indexing the rest of the content object.
If you want to customize this feature, you should 
check the 
<http://www.jahia.net/jahia/webdav/site/jahia_net/shared/Documentation/5.0.3/Jahia5_Performance_Guide_SP3.pdf>performance 
fine tuning guide (Jahia Tuning section) available as part of this release.

The SP3 includes the following new features :

Default Templates
Starting from this release the number of 
templates included in the default Corporate 
Portal Templates v1 and v2 has been reduced to 
the strict minimum when installing Jahia. In 
previous versions many templates where given for 
demonstration purpose only or to help developers 
understand Jahia templating mechanisms and 
capabilities. Those templates weren’t designed 
for an immediate use in production on heavy 
loaded websites or weren’t stable enough.
Nevertheless in too many Jahia “live” websites 
we’ve discovered those templates used without any optimization or change.
To avoid that kind of temptation, we’ve decided 
to put most templates available on our website in 
our <http://www.jahia.net/templates>Template 
Repository with notes and warnings. The Template 
Repository will centralize all extra templates 
which will evolve independently from Jahia 
releases. Pay attention to template notes and 
compatibility before downloading and using them.
Please note that you can also install additional 
home made or third party portlets which are all 
available in our <http://www.jahia.net/portlets>Portlets Repository .

Password Security Module (Courtesy of Vodafone)
We added a new module to give to the 
administrator the opportunity to manage users 
passwords with some standard security policies.

specification below :

Publish All Pages (Courtesy of Vodafone)
We added two new buttons in order to offer to the 
editors the capability to publish or notify a whole site with a single click.

specification below :

Time Based publishing recurrence rule (Courtesy of Vodafone)

order to publish content with certain recurrence 
rules (e.g. : daily or X days per week, etc...

specification below :

Quick-Edit option NStep workflow enhancement 
(Courtesy of Ministère des Finances)
We extended the Jahia N-Step workflow in order to 
let authors quickly edit and update content on a 
page in any workflow step. Such a feature allows 
content administrators to make some corrections 
on the content before publishing it without 
needing to reset and restart from the beginning 
the full workflow. You could find all the details 
in the functional specification below :

Timebased publications icons enhancement (Courtesy of Ministère des Finances)

specification below (in French) :

New role for immediate publication (Courtesy of Ministère des Finances)
Currently any editors with some publication 
rights can decide to launch an automatic site 
export with the embedded replication 
functionality at the last step of a Nstep workflow.
We added a new role in order to restrict such a 
feature to a certain group of limited users. You 
could find all the details in the functional 
specification below (in French):

file stored in the Jahia Document Management System
