New and changed in version 7.6.0
The 7.6.0 release of Collaborative Review benefits from feature improvements.
Content security
In Content Manager, repository folders for publications, topics and maps are assigned usergroups. When the content of these folders is published to Collaborative Review, it can be viewed only by users who belong to the corresponding usergroups. This applies only if you use ISHSTS for authentication.
This behavior applies to publication content, publication lists, comments and search results.
User interface
On the publication list page displayed when selecting , we added a Select All checkbox that allows selecting all the publications in the list.
Table of Contents (TOC)
- In the Developer's workbench, when the Develop with this skin button is used, the attribute transform.skin.on.fly is set to session. This means the TOC is entirely generated at each request (to reflect the skin changes). This consumes more resources. The attribute can be cancelled by logging out and logging back in.
- In , when the Invalidate ToC HTML button is used, Collaborative Review starts deleting html files for TOC and maps, showing a progress bar as deletion progresses. All users viewing the same page will see the progress bar. The process must complete before it can be started another time.
Languages
Collaborative Review can now process Chinese, and Chinese is now available as user interface language.
Performance: Search speed
Search performance has been improved in this version, through a process re-factoring as it was migrated to Java.
Sitemaps
You can now specify the URL that sitemap links should use, for a better referencing in search engines. A new global configuration option has been created: sitemap.custom.url. The default value is empty, meaning that the URL of the machine where publishing takes place will be used in the sitemap.
Caching
The global configuration options cache.data.enable and cache.xsl.enable have been removed and are replaced by the respective topic, table of contents and publication cache options.
Pre-caching has been optimized, this results in a faster application restart.
Distribution on Publishing
Publications can now be automatically sent to distribution servers when the publish completes. You can enable the feature and define a list of distribution servers on the Distribution Center page of the Manage Application tab.
