Terminalfour: 8.3.1.1
- Date Released:
- September 4 2019
General
Why upgrade?
Transfer Manager
Library updates in 8.3.1 impacted SFTP performance in Transfer Manager. That's been put right again in this release. We've also tightened up our testing so we spot something like this earlier.
Programmable Layouts
In 8.3.1. we added a shiny new JavaScript parsing engine called Nashorn. that subsequently introduced compatibility and memory issues for existing Programmable Layouts. This was a minor problem for those with a few Programmable Layouts but a major headache for those with lots. Rather than expecting everyone to rewrite their Programmable Layouts, we thought it best to bring back Rhino.
If you didn't install 8.3.1 you won't notice anything different.
It's worth noting that Java 11 now supports GraalVM for JavaScript execution and we plan to make it available in future versions.
Content Syncer
In content syncer the link value was not behaving as expected after editing a datasource. That's been fixed now.
