Detailed change logs can be found in our Jira:
The Magnolia team would like to thank everyone who reported issues or contributed patches to this release. Your continuous interest helps us make Magnolia better.
Please refer to the general update procedure page.
Please refer to the release notes for Magnolia 4.1. The procedure is identical.
Please see the release notes pages for update instructions specific to the version you are updating to. If you're skipping versions (if you're updating from a fictional 1.2.3 to 1.2.6, for example), please read all release notes concerning the versions you're skipping too.
There is an unfortunate issue, specifically when deploying under JBoss *5*: you will need to remove the Xerces jar from the Magnolia webapps: if deploying using war files, you can remove it from the archive, or with the following Unix command zip -d path-to-magnolia.war WEB-INF/lib/xercesImpl-2.8.1.jar
. If deploying using an exploded directory, simply remove the WEB-INF/lib/xercesImpl-2.8.1.jar
file. See MAGNOLIA-2577 for technical details.
If you get exception messages such as org.jboss.xb.binding.JBossXBException: Failed to create a new SAX parser
and/or java.lang.ClassCastException: org.apache.xerces.parsers.XIncludeAwareParserConfiguration
, this is the issue you're hitting.
When deploying on Weblogic 10, there is a version conflict while using commons-lang
. While Weblogic-10 is distributed with commons-lang-2.3.jar
, JackRabbit and Magnolia need at least commons-lang-2.4.jar
. To resolve this issue, modify setDomainEnv.sh
of Weblogic and add commons-lang-2.4.jar
to the PRE_CLASSPATH
. Since version 2.4 of commons-lang
doesn't remove any methods, but only adds new API and fixes known bugs, there is no adverse effect from this change to the Weblogic installation.
The imaging module doesn't function properly due to conflict with a javax.imageio
plugin bundled with this version of Weblogic. There is currently no known workaround for the issue.
Please see the list of known issues in the administration section for more details.
