Magnolia 5.7 reached extended end of life on May 31, 2022. Support for this branch is limited, see End-of-life policy. Please note that to cover the extra maintenance effort, this EEoL period is a paid extension in the life of the branch. Customers who opt for the extended maintenance will need a new license key to run future versions of Magnolia 5.7. If you have any questions or to subscribe to the extended maintenance, please get in touch with your local contact at Magnolia.
Magnolia CORE 5.7.6 is a bug-fixing and security release that also brings an improvement in the REST module.
REST services health check
With the exception of
magnolia-empty-webapp
, you can now check whether a Magnolia instance is up and running by sending a REST request to a dedicated endpoint called status. For more details, see the REST services health check page.
Multivalue fields can be exported again
This release fixes a bug in the Content Translation Support module that prevented multivalue fields from being exported even though they were registered as additional field types.
Out of memory when exporting large data
We have improved the import and export functions to eliminate out-of-memory errors occurring when exporting large binaries or workspaces.
Note: Considering the benefits of this improvement, we have decided to include it in this release even though it causes API incompatibilities, thus creating an exception to the rule of no API break in a minor release. More details are available on the following page (restricted access): https://nexus.magnolia-cms.com/content/sites/magnolia.public.maintenance.sites/ref/5.7.6/magnolia-core/clirr-report.html.
Dependency on Publishing module downgraded
In the Publishing Transactional module, the dependency on the Publishing module has been downgraded to version 1.0.9.
