Magnolia 6.1 reached end of life on March 31, 2021. This branch is no longer supported, see End-of-life policy.
Magnolia CMS 6.1.8 brings a number of improvements and security updates. This is the last maintenance release in the 6.1 branch, which reached end of life on March 31, 2021.
Shortly after 6.1.8, the REST module has been released to fix some security vulnerabilities. We recommend that you update to version 2.1.7 of the module.
In the Content Importer module, you can use the new magnolia.content.bootstrap.onlyImportAtInstall
and magnolia.content.bootstrap.createTasks
properties to configure a content bootstrapping strategy.
Example configurations:
onlyImportAtInstall=true
and createTasks=always
: the most restrictive strategy. Content is bootstrapped only at installation, not at every instance startup. No content is bootstrapped automatically.
createTasks=onchange
: the most permissive strategy. Content is bootstrapped automatically if the path does not exist in JCR. If the path exists, a task is created.
createTasks=never
: content is bootstrapped at every startup and after every change.
The default configuration is onlyImportAtInstall=false
and createTasks=always
.
Possible values for createTasks
are always
, onchange
and never
.
The REST module 2.1.7 has been released separately to fix some security vulnerabilities. We recommend you update to this latest version of the module.
Content
API class replacedIn the Marketing Tags module, the PropertyValueDelegateTask
class of the legacy Content
API has been replaced with ValueOfPropertyDelegateTask
.
This release comes with the following third-party library updates to fix some security and compatibility issues:
