Release Notes - Alfresco - Version Community Edition 201910 EA

New Features

• Custom Transforms and Renditions

  Alfresco Content Services (ACS) provides a number of content transforms, but also allows custom transforms to be added.

  It is now possible to create custom transforms that run in separate processes known as T-Engines (short for Transformer Engines). The same engines may be used in Community and Enterprise Editions. They may be directly connected to the ACS repository as Local Transforms, but in the Enterprise edition there is the option to include them as part of the Transform Service which provides more balanced throughput and better administration capabilities.

  For more information see Custom Transforms and Renditions

• Open-source Transformation Engines

  The core T-Engine images can now be used in Community Edition.

  T-Engines code has been Open-Sourced and is available on Github:

  alfresco/alfresco-transform-core

  Images are available on Docker Hub:

  alfresco/alfresco-imagemagick
  alfresco/alfresco-pdf-renderer
  alfresco/alfresco-libreoffice
  alfresco/alfresco-tika
  alfresco/alfresco-transform-misc

• Removal of external executables from docker image

  With the introduction of the new Local Transform Service in Alfresco Community Edition, the capability of executing remote transformations on T-Engines was enabled. Because of this, the external executables (Alfresco-Pdf-renderer, Libreoffice and Imagemagick) have been removed from the docker container to facilitate the usage of out-of-process transformations.

Bug

• [ALF-22013] - Docker Image for Base Tomcat locale is POSIX
• [ALF-22060] - Reader on the backing store is obtained twice in CachingContentStore
• [ALF-22056] - onCopyCompleteBehaviour not called in order of copy-action
• [ALF-22073] - MailActionExecutor doesn't consider email bodies with a HTML doctype as HTML
• [ALF-21988] - Tab order for number ranges not ok
• [ALF-22097] - T Engine - add source nodeId parameter

Improvement

• [REPO-4318] - [COMPLETE] Extraction of transformers and metadata extractors

Release Notes - Alfresco - Version Community Edition 201901 GA

New Features

• ActiveMQ:

  Alfresco ActiveMQ Docker images: GitHub Repo DockerHub Repo

• Alfresco Benchmark Framework:

  The benchmark framework project provides a way to run highly scalable, easy-to-run Java-based load and benchmark tests on an Alfresco instance.

  It comprises the following: Alfresco BM Manager and Alfresco BM Drivers.

  The currently provided drivers are:

  • Alfresco Benchmark Load Data
  • Alfresco Benchmark Rest Api
  • Alfresco Benchmark Load Users

• Java 11 support

  ACS is now runnable with OpenJDK 11.0.1. It still remains compatible with JDK 1.8.

Bug

• [ALF-22049] - Alfresco does not start
• [ALF-22041] - EKS deployment - SOLR_ALFRESCO_HOST set to wrong host name
• [ALF-22031] - REST API calls silently rollback after the returning a success status
• [ALF-21963] - Workflow - backslash in nodeRef properties url.
• [ALF-21803] - Unable to add users to sites whose 'short name' is a substring of 'site'
• [ALF-21664] - Exception on workflow image by REST API
• [ALF-20854] - webdav error opening Spanish Accent files

Improvement

• [REPO-3668] - Renditions: Transform event consumer
• [REPO-7] - Embed ActiveMQ in the Platform
• [REPO-1957] - Transformations Improvement Plan

Deprecations

• TransformService and RenditionService: All Java APIs related to TransformService and RenditionService have been deprecated; the ability to perform arbitrary transformations will be phased out as the new DBP Transform Service takes effect. Renditions can be triggered using the existing repository REST API but will be processed asynchronously using the new services.
  

Known issues

• Due to the changes to the RenditionService the Media Management AMP is not supported yet.
