Announcements

SSO 3.1.9

SSO 3.1.9 was released on February 23, 2024.

If you use the Magnolia SSO module, you must upgrade the module to v3.1.9 when you upgrade to DX Core 6.2.43. The lastLogin information for SSO users is no longer updated until you upgrade to v3.1.9.

DX Core 6.2.43 brings a performance-improving change to the structure of the profiles workspace where information for SSO users and JCR users is stored. For more information about what user profile information is stored where, see User profile storage.

Asset management enhancements

We are excited to announce a few new features to optimize your asset management. You can now perform bulk actions for uploading, publishing, and unpublishing assets.

The new bulk upload action brings you:

  • A sleek drag & drop feature to upload multiple assets

  • Improved visuals to understand the status of your operation(s)

For more, see Publishing assets and Uploading assets.

  • MGNLDAM-1380 Styling improvements for pop-up dialog message

  • MGNLDAM-1385 Confirmation message when publishing multiple assets

  • MGNLUI-8652 Action for executing command on multiple items

    When using bulk: true in the JcrCommandAction, the command needs to be aware that there could be multiple identifiers present. Since this update, it is therefore the uuids parameter (identifiers of all passed items) that handles this instead of the single path and uiud parameters used before the update.

    If you need to restore the previous behavior until you have properly migrated your Java code, you can leverage the method using the uuid and path parameters by setting bulk: false in the command configuration. The method is still part of the JcrCommandParamsResolver.

    Example decoration
    To ensure a correct decoration order, the <light-module> must have a dependency to dam-app-jcr.
    <light-module>/decorations/dam-assets-app/apps/dam.subApps.jcrBrowser.actions.yaml
    publish:
  bulk: false
  availability:
    multiple: false
publishDeletion:
  bulk: false
  availability:
    multiple: false
confirmPublish:
  availability:
    multiple: false
publishRecursive:
  bulk: false
  availability:
    multiple: false
unpublish:
  bulk: false
  availability:
    multiple: false

  • PUBLISHING-315 Publish items in bulk

  • PUBLISHING-321 Allow unpublishing of multiple items in bulk

Improvements

Whitelisting and blacklisting properties to return in Delivery API

You can now control which properties are returned in the response of our Delivery API.

  • Specify the properties to include with the properties parameter. (whitelist)

  • Specify the properties to exclude with the excludeProperties parameter. (blacklist)

curl "<URL>/magnoliaAuthor/.rest/<myEndpoint>/travel/?q=about&properties=views,title" (1)
1 In this case, only views and title are returned in the response.

For more on this topic, see Delivery API: Properties.
