[dev_list] 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 Readme file and the new 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 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 Jahia 5 Performance Roadmap or the change 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 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 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 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.
You could find all the details in the functional specification below : 
Jahia_Password_Policy_Service_Specification_v2.pdf 

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.
You could find all the details in the functional specification below : 
PublishAll.pdf 

Time Based publishing recurrence rule (Courtesy of Vodafone)
We extended the time based publishing module in order to publish content 
with certain recurrence rules (e.g. : daily or X days per week, etc...
You could find all the details in the functional specification below : 
Timebased_publishing_rules.pdf 

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 : NStep_Workflow_Enhancement_Specification.pdf 

Timebased publications icons enhancement (Courtesy of Ministère des 
Finances)
We added some timebased publishing icons on some navigation trees.
You could find all the details in the functional specification below (in 
French) : Publication planifiée.pdf 

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): Publication immédiate restreinte.pdf 

File Manager
We added the ability to manage multiple delete in the Jahia AJAX File 
Manager 

FCK Editor
We added the possibility to create a link on a file stored in the Jahia 
Document Management System 

... and of course a lot of other bugfixes have also been committed (see 
complete change log for more information)

Thanks to the whole Jahia community for their commitments.
