If you have any questions or to subscribe to the extended maintenance, please get in touch with your local contact at Magnolia.
Magnolia CORE 5.7.3 is a bug-fixing and security release that delivers the following:
Changes for authors
Content editor supports richText
fields
In a custom content block, you can now use the
richText
field type for more advanced text formatting. Previously, only basic text formatting functions were available through the special text
block type.
With this Magnolia release, richText
initializes correctly in a
multivalue
field.
Audit log correctly identifying requestor's user name
With the introduction of the Publishing module, audit log entries for publishing and unpublishing requests always mentioned superuser
as the requestor. With Magnolia CORE 5.7.3, the audit log now correctly identifies the requestor's user name again.
Image editor: no black borders when rotating an image
The image editor in Magnolia's digital asset management no longer creates black borders when you rotate an image.
Scheduler working after configuration change
A bug has been fixed in the task-management
module. The bug affected the Scheduler module, which stopped working after changing its configuration.
Changes for developers
Decorating dialogs with presenterClass
possible
The system threw an exception every time you tried to launch a dialog decorated with a presenterClass
property. With Magnolia CORE 5.7.3, you can now decorate and use dialogs with that property.
!with-type
renamed to !content-type
The !with-type
directive referencing a content type in an app descriptor has been renamed to !content-type
.
Example:
MGNLUI-4979Third-party library updates
Guava
Guava has been updated to version 24.1.1 to fix a security issue.
Tika
Tika has been updated to version 1.20 to fix some security vulnerabilities. The following Tika dependencies have been affected:
Jackrabbit
Jackrabbit has been updated to version 2.18.1.
The artifacts com.google.code.findbugs:annotations
and org.jetbrains:annotations
have the same ID, but they are two different dependencies.
Others
If you are upgrading from an earlier version, read Upgrading to Magnolia 5.7.x first and check the Known issues section on the page.

Building with 5.7.3 requires the following repo available only for enterprise customers:
Marty Glaubitz
I've created an issue for that, since i'm also affected: MAGNOLIA-7577 - Getting issue details... STATUS
Marty Glaubitz
I second the issue that Joerg von Frantziusmentioned: one cannot build the project unless this repo was added to the project
Federico Grilli
Hi Marty, thanks for reporting this issue. It is actually a valid one which we already tackled and solved with PUBLISHING-59 - Getting issue details... STATUS .
A 5.7.4 release should be out soon (roughly in one or two weeks) and solve this.
Best,
Federico, for the Magnolia team
