This release of TotalCMS 2.33.0 includes an update of Blox Core to 1.62.5 as well as important PHP8 updates, among other fixes.
**********IMPORTANT NOTE FOR APPLIANCE UPGRADES**********
The Associated Press has completed its migration to modern infrastructure. A significant change was made when the AP moved away from its legacy Webfeeds method of syndicating content to a new API-based method.
The Associated Press no longer supports the Web Feed Manager. Sites that are using that for downloads need to migrate over to the BLOX wire tool and set up the new API-based delivery method immediately.
BLOX Digital recommends BLOX Total CMS appliance sites update as soon as possible to the latest version, Appliance OS 2.33.0. It's paramount, though, for sites to use at least 2.29.0. From this version, 2.29, and on, only AP channels using the new Media API will be available.
Major Included Packages
- BLOX CMS version 1.62.5 (from 1.58.0)
- Syndicate 1.42.1 (from 1.42.0)
- PageTracker 1.18.2 (from 1.18.1)
BLOX CMS version 1.61.4-1.62.5
In this minor release of BLOX Core, we are resolving an issue where unsubscribed readers were still provided access to content within the same browsing session. In addition, there are other bug fixes.
Key Improvements:
- We've resolved an issue where recently unsubscribed readers were still permitted access to content within their same browsing session. There are now checks in place to ensure this cannot happen. (TNCMS-8274)
BUG FIXES
- Syndication methods were running into issues with relationships not being maintained semi-randomly. This appears to be caused when the parent is processed before the children. This has been addressed and relationships should maintain as expected in Syndication.(TNCMS-554353)
- The webservice that enabled write-back of Related Content had a bug that deleted the content. This has been fixed. (TNCMS-8206)
- The Saved Search Menu, functionality that is not needed for the appliance, when editing users accounts has been removed. (TNCMS-554516)
We are also making infrastructure changes that should not be noticeable to admin or front-end users. If you experience any issues or have any questions, please contact customer support at (800) 293-9576 or TownNews.com/support.
