Changes

The following changes have been made in this release of Studio Server:

• Code has been removed or marked as deprecated. Global functions, class methods, classes, and modules in the code are regularly marked as deprecated and eventually removed from the code. Customizations and integrations that make use of these functions should be updated accordingly.

The following modules have been deprecated in Studio Server 10.34.0:

The following functions that were deprecated in previous versions have been removed in Studio Server 10.34.0:

For a full overview, see Code that has been deprecated or removed in Studio Server.

• The coding style for PHP modules has been changed into PSR-12. This style is automatically applied to the entire code base of Studio Server using the PHP CS Fixer tool. The tool itself is shipped with Studio Server from now onwards and can be found in the server/vendor/bin folder.

For consistency and readability reasons you may want to apply the PSR-12 code style to your custom server plug-ins as well. For details, see Managing Server plug-ins in Studio Server.

• The .csv file format is now supported by default. The .csv format has been added to the configserver.php file > EXTENSIONMAP list and is therefore now supported by default by Studio Server.

Changes

The following changes have been made in this release of Studio Server:

• Assets Server integration: Re-archived Digital articles are now always archived in their own folder. When archiving a Digital article from Studio, restoring it and archiving it again, previous versions of Studio Server always archived the article within the folder that was used when first archiving the article. This could make a re-archived article more difficult to find, for example when it is used in a different Brand compared to the article that was first archived.

In Studio Server 10.23.0, this functionality was changed so that the re-archived article is always stored in its own folder.

If this behavior was not desired, an option was made available in Studio Server 10.23.0 to continue using the old behavior. This was done by adding the following option to the SERVERFEATURES section of the configserver.php file:

ArchiveDigitalArticlesInOriginalLocation

As mentioned in the Release Notes of Studio Server 10.23.0, the old behavior was scheduled to be phased out. This has now been done; the option to revert back to the old behavior has been removed. As a result, re-archived Digital articles are now always archived in their own folder.

If the option is still configured, the WoodWing Assets Content Source test on the Health Check page will notify you of this.

Changes

The following changes have been made in this release of Studio Server:

Users of Studio and Studio for InDesign and InCopy can quickly perform a search in Studio Server to locate particular files. One type of search that can be done is using a date range that spans last week or next week. The QueryObjects request for these ranges has changed while it is now also possible to search for 'this week'.

The following changes have been made based on QueryObjects requests using the 'starts' operator:

Known issues

The following known issues exist in this release of Studio Server:

WSS-13622 "Uncaught throwable ‘TypeError'" when uploading an image in Studio

The issue occurs in Studio when uploading an image that contains a metadata field with multiple values whereas Studio Server expects this field to have only a single value.

In such cases, the following error is shown in Studio:

Some files could not be added to the Dossier. Please try again.

file name

"Uncaught throwable ‘TypeError'"

The following is logged in the log files:

Exception Message: mb_substr(): Argument #1 ($string) must be of type string, array given
Exception File: /opt/apps/enterprisep01/server/utils/UtfString.class.php 163

Exception Stack:
- UtfString::truncateMultiByteValue (line#1611 at DBObject.class.php)
- DBObject::truncatePropertyValue (line#1552 at DBObject.class.php)
[...]

This only happens when the following conditions are happening at the same time:

• Studio Server 10.23.0 or higher with PHP 8.1 is used.
• ExifTool is used as a metadata extractor.
• An object with a metadata field containing multiple values is added while Studio Server expects it to contain just one value (such as an Author field).

Fixed issues

The following issues have been fixed in this release of Studio Server:

WSS-13163 sceUsed is always set to true on archived objects even if there is no variant actually currently being used in Studio.

Note: The fix for WSS-13163 requires Assets Server 6.97 or higher.

WSS-13425 Improve API to prevent command injection.

WSS-13495 Security (third-party package): Improper header name validation in guzzlehttp/psr7 ≤1.9.1.

WSS-13507 MadeToPrint process terminated and a 'TypeError' in Studio Server when changing the status of a layout to the trigger a MadeToPrint status.

WSS-13534 Private keys that are not used anymore can be downloaded from Studio Server.

WSS-13608 Placement of a Print article on a Layout preview in Studio is blocked and the error ‘Missing function parameter (S1000)’ is raised.

Changes

The following changes have been made in this release of Studio Server:

• Support for images in HEIC, HEIF, and WEBP format. Support has been added for images in HEIC, HEIF and WEBP format. This has resulted in the following changes:

• Generating the image previews for these new image formats is handled by ImageMagick.

Note: The ImageMagick binaries might need to be recompiled in order to have this working.

• A new configuration option named IMAGEMAGICK_FORMATS has been introduced.

The file types for which ImageMagick should generate previews for can now be configured through this option in the configserver.php file.

This makes it possible to configure the system in such a way that previews are only generated for those file formats that are used within the production environment.

Commonly used image formats such as JPEG, PNG and so on are included in this option by default.

Preview generation for images in WEBP format is also enabled by default. Generation for images in HEIC and HEIF format needs to be manually enabled through configuration steps.

• The ImageMagick Health Check test will validate the image format added in the IMAGEMAGICK_FORMATS option. If any of the listed image formats are not supported by ImageMagick, the test will raise an error together with instructions about how to resolve the issue.

• The following requirements and limitations exist:

• Placing images in HEIC or HEIF format on layouts or Print articles requires InDesign 2023 or higher, or InCopy 2023 or higher.

• When using InDesign on Windows, a HEIC/HEIF codec is needed. See the Adobe documentation: Work with HEIF or HEIC files on Windows.

• Placing images in HEIC or HEIF format on Digital articles requires Assets Server integration to generate a high-resolution JPEG image that can be rendered in the editor and in the published article. Without the Assets Server integration, HEIC and HEIF images are placed and published in their own format and cannot be rendered by the web browser (showing an empty image frame).

• Some ImageMagick distributions do not support HEIC and HEIF image formats out of the box. In that case the HEIC module needs to be added. The Image Magick test on the Studio Server Health Check page will show an error when this is needed. See the Configuration steps explained below. This would require recompiling and reinstalling the ImageMagick binaries.

• Steps for setting up image preview generation in Studio Server and higher are described in a new Help Center article.

• The process of generating image previews and extracting metadata from images by the plug-ins has been simplified by specifying specific connectors for each task. In previous versions of Studio Server, the best connector (depending on which plug-ins were enabled) was picked for the preview generation and metadata extraction. Now, each image format has a dedicated connector for generating an image preview or for extracting metadata from an image.

This makes it easier to predict which task is performed by which connector, which in turn makes it easier to maintain and support those connectors. It also makes it easier to see which Server plug-in should be enabled to have a task accomplished.

Note: When Assets Server is integrated, the preview generation for all images is handled by Assets Server.

As a result of the simplification, the following Server plug-ins have been changed and renamed to better reflect their working:

The following Server plug-in is no longer shipped:

• The Sips Preview plug-in.

This plug-in was provided for demo purposes only and support for it was already dropped.

The following tables show which preview connectors can handle which file formats depending on the version of Studio Server and the integrated system used.

For Studio Server 10.26 or lower:

The following tables shows which metadata connectors can handle which file formats depending on the version of Studio Server and the integrated system used.

For Studio Server 10.27 or higher:

For Studio Server 10.26 or lower:

• The AWS SDK for PHP has been added to the release package. This results in the following:
• An increase in file size of the Studio Server release package from ~19.7 MB to ~24.1 MB.
• When a custom server plug-in already ships with the very same SDK, class name conflicts may occur. The SDK in the custom plug-in needs to be replaced by the one shipped with Studio Server.

Note: As with any other library shipped in the server/vendor folder, custom server plug-ins may make use of it. However, WoodWing does not provide any support on those usages. Upgrades of libraries will happen on initiative of Studio Server's needs only.

• The 'datatables/datatables' javascript library has been updated. The third-party datatables/datatables javascript library package has been updated to the latest version. This package is used for generating the tables on the Maintenance pages such as the Brand Maintenance page and the User Maintenance page.

This has resulted in the following changes:

• The Javascript file has been moved to a new location:
• Old location: server/vendor/datatables/datatables/media/js/jquery.dataTables.js
• New location: server/jquery/datatables/datatables-1.13.4.min.js

• The CSS file has been moved to a new location:
• Old location: server/vendor/datatables/datatables/media/css/jquery.dataTables.css
• New location: config/templates/datatables.css

• The datatables.js file has been moved to a new location:
• Old location: server/jquery/datatables.js
• New location: server/jquery/datatables/datatables.js

Note: When using this library in your integrations, update the references to this library.

• Code has been marked as deprecated or removed. Global functions, class methods, and classes in the code are regularly marked as deprecated and eventually removed from the code. Customizations and integrations that make use of these functions should be updated accordingly.

The following functions have been marked as deprecated in Studio Server 10.27.0:

The following functions that were deprecated in previous versions have been removed in Studio Server 10.27.0:

Changes

The following changes have been made in this release of Studio Server:

• Global functions, class methods, and classes have been marked as deprecated. A large number of global functions, class methods, and classes have been marked as deprecated because their related feature is no longer supported. They should no longer be called by custom server plug-ins and are candidates to be removed one year after this release (which is after 12 minor releases). If a replacement is provided, call that instead.

For a full overview, see Code that has been deprecated or removed in Studio Server.

• Previously deprecated functions are now logged as deprecated in the log files. When analyzing the functions that are currently marked as deprecated, we noticed that not all of these functions were logged as deprecated in the log files, and only had the @deprecated annotation set in the function document header.

As the annotations rely too much on the quality of the integrated development environment (IDE) used by the plug-in developer, these deprecated functions can be easily missed or overlooked.

The functions that did not have the logging in place yet are now corrected and are logged as a DEPRECATED item.

For a full overview, see Code that has been deprecated or removed in Studio Server.

Note: Some of the functions were already reported as deprecated in previous releases, but have now been reset to version 10.26.0 to allow sufficient time to migrate custom plug-ins that are still calling these functions.

• Deprecated code has been removed. Global functions, class methods, and classes that were marked as deprecated more than a year ago have now been removed. Custom server plug-ins can no longer call these global functions, class methods, and classes. If a replacement is provided, call that instead. For a full overview of the code that is now removed, see Code that has been deprecated or removed in Studio Server.

• Server plug-in read-me files named as README.md are now also detected by and shown on the Server plug-in page. A Server plug-in can contain a read-me file in the form of a markdown file with a .md extension. When such a file is placed in the base folder of the plug-in, it is detected when accessing the Server plug-ins page of Studio Server and an info icon is shown next to the plug-in on the page. Clicking the icon opens the file in the browser.

In previous versions of Studio Server, only files named as 'readme.md' (in lower case) were detected. Now, files named as 'README.md' (in upper case) are also detected.

• API Request validation: The WflGetObjectsRequest API now only accepts one of the supported values defined in the WSDL; invalid values such as null can result in PHP errors. When developing integrations it is recommended to turn service validation on and to have automated integration tests in place that can be executed against a staging environment.

WoodWing Software expects that the WSDL is respected by third-party integrations, therefore WoodWing Software cannot take responsibility when an integration breaks due to a request violating the WSDL contract (now or in the future) and cannot always communicate these changes in advance.

Changes

The following changes have been made in this release of Studio Server:

• Changes to the compatibility with 3rd-party software. Various changes have been made to the compatibility between Studio Server and other systems.

• RabbitMQ:
• Added support for RabbitMQ 3.11 (recommended version).
• Dropped support for RabbitMQ 3.8.

• Solr:
• Added support for Solr 9.1 (recommended version)
• Dropped support for Solr 8.8.

• Configuration options have been added to improve security between Studio Server and web applications. To improve the security between Studio Server and applications running in a web browser such as Studio, the Studio Management Console, and the Maintenance pages of Studio Server, the default value of the COOKIES_OVER_SECURE_CONNECTIONS_ONLY option has been changed and a new option named COOKIES_SAME_SITE has been added.

These options set the 'Secure' and 'SameSite' cookie attributes respectively. Explicitly setting these attributes enforces a certain security level that is centrally controlled by the system administrator. This improves the level of control as it no longer relies on the default setting of the web browser, which may or may not set these attributes.

• The COOKIES_OVER_SECURE_CONNECTIONS_ONLY option is used for secure connections (HTTPS) to inform the web browser to only send cookies over HTTPS (and not over HTTP).

To ensure that Studio Server sets the Secure cookie attribute correctly, the default value has been changed from 'false' to a dynamically determined value depending on the connection type:

• 'true' for secure connections (HTTPS)
• 'false' for unsecure connections (HTTP)

In production environments, only use secure connections (HTTPS) for which the Secure attribute will be automatically set. The latter is needed to prevent cookies from being observed by unauthorized parties due to the transmission of the cookie in clear text.

For test and demo environments, you may want to use unsecure connections (HTTP) for which the Secure attribute will automatically not be set. The latter is required for functional reasons as user authorization depends on cookies.

• The COOKIES_SAME_SITE option is a new option and informs the web browser in what circumstances cookies can be sent to 3rd-party web sites.

The following values can be set:

By default, Studio Server sets the SameSite=Lax cookie attribute for secure connections (HTTPS). For unsecure connections (HTTP) the attribute is not set.

Note: Stand-alone applications such as InDesign and InCopy do not use cookies and are not affected by this change.

• Improved detection of HTTPS connections. Web servers have several ways of detecting if a connection runs over HTTPS. Studio Server has been relying on the HTTPS attribute. Its detection has now been expanded with the following:
• HTTP_X_FORWARDED_SSL
• HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO
• REQUEST_SCHEME

These are more common for Apache / NGINX Web servers and also detect SSL forwarding, for example by load balancers.

• Deprecated functions have been removed and replaced. The following deprecated functions have been removed and replaced by a new method:

• High severity issue found in the external library guzzlehttp/promises in combination with PHP 8.1. An issue has been found in the external library guzzlehttp/promises in combination with PHP 8.1. The issue causes the sending of the Webhooks to fail. We advise customers to use PHP 7.4 in combination with Studio Server 10.23 when the Webhook functionality is used. A fix for this issue is planned for Studio Server 10.25 (mid April).

• The Server plug-ins Maintenance page appears blank or shows an error. Studio Server provides a tool to generate connector files for custom plug-ins. How it works is described in the Enterprise/config/plugin-templates/readme.txt file. For PHP 8.1, no connector file is generated for the following connectors:

• DbModel_EnterpriseConnector
• CustomObjectMetaData_EnterpriseConnector

When un-commenting these connectors in the PluginInfo.php file and subsequently accessing the Server plug-ins Maintenance page, the page appears blank or the following error appears: 'The plug-in contains errors. Please repair and refresh the Server Plug-ins page to reload your fixes. (S1120)'.

Changes

The following changes have been made in this release of Studio Server:

• Changes to the compatibility with other systems. Various changes to the compatibility of Studio Server with other systems have been made. These are listed in the following table.

• Assets Server integration: Re-archived Digital articles are now archived in their own folder. When archiving a Digital article from Studio, restoring it and archiving it again, previous versions of Studio Server always archived the article within the folder that was used when first archiving the article. This could make a re-archived article more difficult to find, for example when it is used in a different Brand compared to the article that was first archived. Now, the re-archived article is always stored in its own folder.

• PHP 8: The php_gd2.dll file on Windows has been renamed. In PHP 8.x, the following file that is required for integrating PHP with Studio Server has been renamed:
• Old name: php_gd2.dll
• New name: php_gd.dll

This file is referred to in the steps for integrating PHP with Studio Server on Windows.

• PHP 8: The class \Match has been renamed to \Compare. Calls to methods of the Match class (such as in custom plug-ins) have to be replaced to calls to the methods of the Compare class. Method names have not changed.

• Error logging: The ent_log_errors.htm file now also logs messages of type 'DEPRECATED'. When messages are written to the ent_log_errors.htm file, messages of type 'DEPRECATED' are now also logged. This makes it more visible that the affected feature is scheduled to be deprecated and that steps should be taken to phase out the use of that feature.

• Error logging: Health Check tests now use the log level of the DEBUGLEVEL option instead of the log level of the acting user. When running tests on the Health Check page and log files are required for further assistance or analysis, it is advisable to set the log level in the DEBUGLEVELS option while setting the log level on the User Maintenance page for the user defined in the TESTSUITE option to NONE. Should the log level in the TESTSUITE option still be set, this is now ignored and the log level of the DEBUGLEVEL option is now always used.

This makes the results more predictable and avoids inconsistencies between the test items when different log levels are configured for the TESTSUITE user and the general DEBUGLEVELS option.

• Functions have been deprecated and replaced. The following function has been deprecated and replaced by a new method which provides better performance.

• Localization: French translations of 'uploading' have been changed to 'envoyer'. To better match the real-world use of the French translation of 'uploading', all references (such as 'télécharger') have been changed to 'envoyer'.

Note: Similar changes have been made to references in Studio. To see these changes, Studio 11.136 or higher is required.

Changes

The following changes have been made in this release of Studio Server:

• Stored user settings can now be reset for Studio users who cannot log in anymore because of corrupted settings. Users of Smart Connection, Studio, and Studio for InDesign and InCopy can store settings for search filters, panels, column settings, and more. In some cases, these settings can get corrupted which prevents Studio users from logging in to Studio.

This can now be resolved by resetting these settings to their default state by clicking Reset Stored Settings on the User Maintenance page of the user in Studio Server.

For details, see Managing user accounts in Studio Server. Note that this also resets the settings for the users of Studio for InDesign and InCopy, and users of Smart Connection.

• When logging server activity, the full stack of calling functions can now also logged. When an alert is logged, by default only the error message itself is logged. Now, the full stack of calling functions can also be logged, thereby providing much more information about the cause of the error.

This can be done by configuring the following option:

• Option: LOG_STACK_ON_ALERT
• File: configserver.php file (recommended: config_overrule.php file)
  
• Possible value:
• null. Default value. Stacks are included in the log file on alerts when the applied log level is set to DEBUG.
• true. Stacks are included in the log file on alerts, regardless of the applied log level.
• false. Stacks are never included in the log file.
• Default value: null
• Example:

define( 'LOG_STACK_ON_ALERT', null );

For full details, see Logging server activity in Studio Server 10.14 or higher – Configuration.

• Server methods have been removed or marked as deprecated as part of improving Studio Server performance. To improve performance, the following BizClasses methods have been removed or marked as deprecated:

The maximum number of characters that can be stored in the 'Description' property of a file has been raised from 2,040 to 10,000 characters. This brings it in line with the number or characters that the same property in Assets Server can hold.

• Assets Server integration: The 'Page' property now stores the 'page order' value of the page on which a file is placed instead of the 'page number' value. When placing a file from the Production Zone in Assets Server onto a layout, the 'page order' value is now stored in the Page property. In previous versions, the 'page number' value was stored.

• Archiving to Assets Server: During archiving, the 'Page range' property is now populated for all articles, images, spreadsheets, and adverts that are placed on a layout. When archiving a layout and its placed objects, all articles, images, spreadsheets, and adverts that are placed on a layout now have the 'Page range' property populated. In previous versions, this property was only populated for the layout and its PDF or EPS files. The value used is the 'Page (order)' value of the page on which the object is placed.

Note for upgraded systems with an Assets Server integration: The page range value for objects that were archived before the upgrade to Studio Server 10.19.0 remains empty. Only objects that are archived using Studio Server 10.19.0 or higher will have this property populated.

Changes

The following changes have been made in this release of Studio Server:

• Centralized logging: The fields structure now only supports the ECS standard. With the introduction of centralized logging in Studio Server 10.14.0, the structure for the ECS fields was unfortunately not respecting the ECS standard and therefore implemented incorrectly.

As a result, the field names were logged in a flat concatenated structure instead of a hierarchical structure as defined by the ECS standard.

Support for the new ECS field structure was then added to Studio Server 10.14.1, together with the LOG_CENTRALIZED_CONCATENATED_ECS_FIELDS option which made it possible to temporarily use the old/incorrect structure and to update the 3rd-party logging monitoring system to the new structure at a later point.

Now, only the new ECS field structure is supported. The LOG_CENTRALIZED_CONCATENATED_ECS_FIELDS option has therefore been removed.

When upgrading from a previous version in which this option is still set in the config_overrule.php file or configserver.php file, the 'PHP' Health Check test will give a warning. In case the 3rd-party logging monitoring system is not adjusted to the new field structure, note that the monitoring system will not work; the logs will not appear as expected.

• Updated database definition for improved performance. When upgrading from a previous version of Studio Server, the database definition is updated. This change is required to improve the performance of Studio Server. The 'Database' test on the Health Check page will show a notification that the update has been implemented; no action is required.

• Server methods/functions: Improvement in performance by removing and/or replacing Inefficient BizClasses methods. To improve performance, the following BizClasses methods have been removed and where possible replaced by methods that are more efficient and require less database access:

Changes

The following changes have been made in this release of Studio Server:

• Support for Solr 7 has been dropped. Support for Solr 7.7 has been dropped in Studio Server 10.17; this version of Solr has reached its end of life some time ago. Supported versions of Solr for Studio Server 10.17 are 8.8 and 8.11. Solr indexes any file in the system for quick access whenever a search is performed.

• Validation added for users with duplicate e-mail addresses. In Studio Server, users are identified by using the values of their name, full name, and e-mail address. When multiple users exist in the system with the same e-mail address, the user settings can become corrupted (especially when used in combination with Single Sign-On or LDAP). The e-mail address of each user in the system should therefore be unique. To prevent user accounts from becoming corrupted because of duplicate e-mail addresses, the following is now done:
• When adding an email-address that is already used by another user to a new or existing user, a message is shown to indicate this.
• The 'Authentication' test on the Health Check page now provides a warning when multiple users with the same e-mail address are detected.

• RabbitMQ repair operations are now mentioned in the Health Check test. When a repair operation for RabbitMQ was required in previous versions of Studio Server (such as when creating a missing RabbitMQ virtual host), the operation was performed but no notification was given. Now, when such an action is performed, a notification is given as part of the 'Messaging (RabbitMQ)' test.

Changes

The following changes have been made in this release of Studio Server:

• Assets Server integration: deleted users are recreated when restoring a file. When restoring an archived file from Assets Server to Studio Server, any users associated with the file that were removed from Studio Server are recreated as deactivated users. This is because users that are part of the workflow (for example as the user who created, modified, or deleted the file) have to exist as a user in the system. Deactivated users are hidden by default on the Overview of Users Maintenance page, but can be shown again by clicking 'Show Deactivated Users' at the bottom of the page.

• Assets Server integration: Database change related to removed users when restoring files on Studio Server 10.15. Since Studio Server 10.15, users or user groups that are still part of the workflow (for example as the user who created, modified, or deleted the file) cannot be deleted anymore. When upgrading from Studio Server versions older than Studio Server 10.15, objects could exist that had a user associated with it that no longer existed in the system. The upgrade process of Studio Server 10.15 therefore restored all removed users that were still part of the workflow. However, when restoring an archived file from Assets Server to Studio Server 10.15, such a process was not in place and therefore still resulted in a file with an associated user that did not exist in the system.

When upgrading from Studio Server 10.15 to 10.16, a check is done for removed users and corrected when found. This check is performed by the 'Database Connection' Health Check test which will direct you to the Database Setup page on which the update can be run.

Note: The update needs to be run on each Studio Server 10.15 system that is upgraded, even when no files have been restored or Assets Server is not integrated.

During this process, all removed users and user groups that are still part of the workflow are recreated as deactivated users (note that user groups are also recreated as users). As mentioned above, deactivated users are hidden by default on the Overview of Users Maintenance page, but can be shown again by clicking 'Show Deactivated Users' at the bottom of the page.

Documentation

The following changes to the documentation have been made in this release of Studio Server:

• Compatibility of Studio Server 10.16 - new
• Archiving files from Studio Server 10.13.1 or higher to Assets Server - updated

Known issues

The following issues exist for this release of Studio Server:

• Upgrading from Studio Server version 10.13 or lower fails. When upgrading from Studio Server version 10.13 or lower, the upgrade fails with the following error:

Database upgrade failed

The log files will show the following error:

ERROR    mysql           MySQL: 1054:Unknown column 'loglevel' in 'field list'
WARN     BizException    Message: Error: Failed to insert the user in the database.

These errors are caused by an upgrade script that recreates non-existing users; it expects specific database fields which are not yet present at that time.

To resolve this, do one of the following:

• First upgrade to Studio Server 10.14.x and then to version 10.16.0.

• Update the following script:

<your server>/server/dbscripts/dbupgrades/RecreateMissingWorkflowUsers.class.php

by changing the beforeUpdateModel method to return false. The method can be found on line number 58; the end result looks as follows:

public function beforeUpdateModel(): bool
{
	return false;
}

• Archiving from Studio Server to Assets Server: When archiving a Digital article, the following fields are populated but cannot yet be shown in the Metadata panel in Assets:
• Character count
• Line count
• Paragraph count

This requires an update in Assets Server and will be available in a future release of Assets Server.

Fixed issues

The following issues have been fixed in this release of Studio Server:

WSS-12802 Slow search performance when the user has no Brand or type selected.

New features

The following has been added in this release of Studio Server:

• Support for RabbitMQ 3.9. Studio Server 10.15.0 now also supports RabbitMQ 3.9.
  (With RabbitMQ integrated in Studio Server, message notifications — such as when a user updates the properties of a file — can be pushed to client views of all users who are connected to Studio Server. This ensures that users immediately see the changes that other users make.)

• Deactivated users can now be hidden. Should the list of users on the Overview of Users Maintenance page contain deactivated users, these deactivated users can now be hidden or shown using the 'Hide Deactivated Users' and 'Show Deactivated Users' options at the bottom of the page.

Note: Deactivated users are hidden by default.

• Additional metadata fields are now populated when archiving from Studio Server to Assets Server. When archiving files from Studio Server to Assets Server, various metadata fields are populated with information that describes how and where the file was used in Studio Server. Many fields were already populated, but the following Assets Server fields are now included as well:
• copyright
• credit
• edition
• issueIdentifier
• issueName
• numberOfCharacters
• numberOfLines
• numberOfParagraphs
• pageRange
• publicationChannel
• publicationName
• section
• wordCount

If and when a field is populated depends on the archive schema that is used (digital, Dossier, or print schema) and the type of file. For more information, see Metadata mapping between Studio Server and Assets Server.

Changes

The following changes have been made in this release of Studio Server:

• Codes used in the ticket tracking system have been changed from 'EN' to 'WSS'. Historically, tickets for tracking bugs and improvements for the server started with 'EN-' (short for 'Enterprise'). With the renaming of the product to Studio Server some time ago, 'EN-' has now been changed to 'WSS-' (short for WoodWing Studio Server).

All tickets related to Studio Server will therefore now start with 'WSS-'. In addition, all existing tickets that started with 'EN-' have also been changed to 'WSS-'. For this, new tickets had to be created. This also means that the original number has changed (for example: 'EN-12345' could now be 'WSS-67890').

Note: Apart from the change in the codes, the rest of the ticket handling process has not changed. If you have submitted an 'EN' ticket which has now been renamed to 'WSS' and renumbered, you will of course still receive notifications for that ticket.

• Users and user groups that are still associated with an object can no longer be deleted. When a user or user group is still associated with a workflow object in Studio Server, it can no longer be deleted. These associations are:
• Users who are listed as the person who has created, modified, or deleted an object.
• Users who have locked an object.
• Users or user groups who have objects routed to them.

When trying to delete such a user or user group, a message is now shown. To resolve the issue, the user should be deactivated, or the objects should be removed from being routed to the user group.

For more information, see:

• Managing user accounts in Studio Server
• Managing user groups in Studio Server

• Database change related to removed users that are still part of the workflow. Studio Server 10.15 and higher prevents deleting users or user groups that are still part of the workflow (see above). For existing systems that have been upgraded, objects can exist that have a user or user group associated with it that no longer exists in the system. To prevent issues that this can cause in the system and as a first step to future optimizations, the database needs to be updated.

This is done as part of the upgrade process by running the Health Check tests. The 'Database Connection' test will now fail and direct you to the Database Setup page on which the update can be run.

During this process, all removed users and user groups that are still part of the workflow are recreated as deactivated users (note that user groups are also recreated as users). As mentioned above, deactivated users are hidden by default on the Overview of Users Maintenance page, but can be shown again by clicking 'Show Deactivated Users' at the bottom of the page.

• Removal of obsolete Solr facet settings from the code. In Content Station, Solr facets were used for grouping search results. With the discontinuation of Content Station some time ago, the Solr facet settings listed below that were still present in the code have now been removed.

Note: The ‘Solr Search Server’ Health Check will give a warning if any of these settings are still used.

• SOLR_ARTICLE_FACETS
• SOLR_AUDIO_FACETS
• SOLR_DOSSIERITEMS_FACETS
• SOLR_GENERAL_FACETS
• SOLR_IMAGE_FACETS
• SOLR_INTEGER_RANGE
• SOLR_LAYOUT_FACETS
• SOLR_LENGTHCHARS_RANGE
• SOLR_LENGTHLINES_RANGE
• SOLR_LENGTHWORDS_RANGE
• SOLR_RATING_RANGE
• SOLR_SPREADSHEET_FACETS
• SOLR_VIDEO_FACETS

• Upgrade of JavaScript libraries. The following JavaScript libraries have been upgraded to make use of the security and performance improvements that these versions provide:

Changes

The following changes have been made in this release of Studio Server:

• Assets Server integration: metadata fields 'Page range' and 'Publication date' are now also stored when archiving a layout. When archiving files from Studio Server to Assets Server, values from various metadata fields are stored. When a layout is archived, the values from the following metadata fields are now also stored:
• Page range
• Publication date

• Centralized logging: Option added for configuring the used ECS field structure. With the introduction of centralized logging in Studio Server 10.14.0, the structure for the ECS fields was unfortunately not respecting the ECS standard and therefore implemented incorrectly.

As a result, the field names were logged in a flat concatenated structure instead of a hierarchical structure as defined by the ECS standard.

Because implementing the correct structure would break existing installations, the LOG_CENTRALIZED_CONCATENATED_ECS_FIELDS option has been introduced. It is used for matching the configuration of your 3rd-party logging monitoring system:

• It should be enabled when the old/incorrect structure of the ECS field is used.
• It should be disabled when the new/correct structure of the ECS field is used.

Possible values:

• true - Default value. The old/incorrect structure of the ECS field is used.
• false - Recommended value. The new/correct structure of the ECS field is used.

if( !defined('LOG_CENTRALIZED_CONCATENATED_ECS_FIELDS') ) {

New features

The following features have been added in this release of Studio Server:

• Compatibility with Adobe 2022. Studio Server 10.14.0 or higher is compatible with Adobe 2022.

Note: This requires Studio for InDesign, InDesign Server and InCopy for Adobe 2022 (planned release Q1 of 2022).

• Improvements to server logging. To improve the functionality of logging server activity, the following has been added:

• Log files can now be output or streamed to a central location. When multiple instances of Studio Server are used, errors, warnings and information about the use of deprecated features can now be logged in a central location outside of Studio Server. This makes it easier and more efficient to detect problems from multiple servers from just one location.

• Controlling the logging detail for an individual user via the User Maintenance page. When server logging is used for investigating technical issues that a user experiences, the level of detail to log can now be controlled via the User Maintenance page for that user. This is done by setting any of the DEBUGLEVEL options (ERROR, WARN, INFO, or DEBUG) in the new Log Level field.

This has the following advantages:

• It prevents having to configure the log level in the configserver.php file to which few people have access.
• The generated log files are smaller in size and contain only data based on the actions performed by the user. The data is thereby more relevant and easier to analyze.

• New loglevel field in the smart_users table. To support the new Log Level field on the User Maintenance page, a new field named 'loglevel' has been added to the smart_users table. User logging is set to NONE by default, including when upgrading to Studio Server 10.14.0.

• LogLevel has been added to the Admin WSDL. Integrators using the admin web services can define the log level for a user in the SmartConnectionAdmin.wsdl file. A 'LogLevel' option has been added to the 'User'. Affected web services such as Create/Modify/Get/Copy-users will now have a 'LogLevel' item: Users[]->LogLevel.

<xsd:simpleType name="LogLevel">
    <xsd:restriction base="string">
        <xsd:enumeration value="NONE"/>
        <xsd:enumeration value="ERROR"/>
        <xsd:enumeration value="WARN"/>
        <xsd:enumeration value="DEPRECATED"/>
        <xsd:enumeration value="INFO"/>
        <xsd:enumeration value="DEBUG"/>
    </xsd:restriction>
</xsd:simpleType>

More information about server logging is available in the following articles:

Note: It is particularly recommended to read the article explaining the concept to get a good understanding of the way the configuration is interpreted by the system.

• Logging server activity in Studio Server 10.14 or higher – Configuration
• Logging server activity in Studio Server 10.14 or higher – Viewing log files
• Managing user accounts in Studio Server

Changes

The following changes have been made in this release of Studio Server:

• Changes to server logging. The following changes have been made:

• Logging deprecated features. Features that have been marked as deprecated can now be specifically tracked by either setting the DEBUGLEVEL option or the ‘Log Level’ field on the User Maintenance page to DEPRECATED or higher. In previous versions this could only be done by using the highest log level DEBUG. The DEPRECATED option can be used to see if a user or implementation still makes use of such a feature and to then take appropriate steps to move the used process to a supported feature.

• DEBUGLEVEL option 'NONE' does not always mean that logging is disabled. Setting the DEBUGLEVEL to NONE does not always mean that logging is disabled. This is because the log level can now also be adjusted or set on the User Maintenance page. Disabling logging is now solely done by clearing the value of the OUTPUTDIRECTORY option.

• Support dropped for outputting log files to disk in JSON format. Outputting log files in JSON format is now only done when logging to a central location. The JSON format cannot be configured anymore as a format for storing log files on disk.

Note: When upgrading from an instance of Studio Server in which the LOGFILE_FORMAT is set to ‘json’, upgrade steps are required. For more information, see Upgrading an existing installation of Studio Server.

• New value 'null' for the options LOGSQL, LOG_INTERNAL_SERVICES, and LOG_RABBITMQ_SERVICES. The options LOGSQL, LOG_INTERNAL_SERVICES, and LOG_RABBITMQ_SERVICES can now also be set to value 'null'. When doing so, the system then only logs SQL statements, internal services and RabbitMQ services respectively when the log level that is used by the system is DEBUG.

• Change in behavior of the value 'true' for the options LOGSQL, LOG_INTERNAL_SERVICES, and LOG_RABBITMQ_SERVICES. Setting the options LOGSQL, LOG_INTERNAL_SERVICES, and LOG_RABBITMQ_SERVICES to 'true' now means that the system only logs SQL statements, internal services and RabbitMQ services respectively when the log level that is used by the system is INFO or DEBUG.

• Changes to the ent_log_errors.htm file in the server log folder. This file is created when a log message of level ERROR, WARN, or DEPRECATED is logged while the applied log level is DEBUG or INFO. This makes it possible to:
• Manually check if the log message contain errors or warnings.
• Let the Health Check automatically detect if one of its tests indirectly causes warnings or errors even though the test itself may be OK.

When centralized logging is enabled, this file is only present when the log level that is used by the system is INFO or DEBUG.

• When server logging is enabled, no 'Running in DEBUG mode' message is shown anymore on the Log In screen.

More information about server logging is available in the following articles:

Note: It is particularly recommended to read the article explaining the concept to get a good understanding of the way the configuration is interpreted by the system.

• Logging server activity in Studio Server 10.14 or higher – Concept
• Logging server activity in Studio Server 10.14 or higher – Configuration
• Logging server activity in Studio Server 10.14 or higher – Viewing log files
• Managing user accounts in Studio Server

• Support for SVG images. Images in SVG format are now supported by default by including it in the EXTENSIONMAP settings of the configserver.php file. This format therefore does not have to be added manually anymore, for example when wanting to make use of features such as adding images in SVG format to a Digital article in Studio.

The following requirements and limitations exist:

• The use of SVG images is supported in InDesign 2020 or higher and Studio 11.100 or higher.
• The embedded text is not searchable.
• Previews and thumbnails are in JPEG format.

• Removal of UPDATE_GEOM_SAVE option. When an article is placed on a layout and a change is made to that article or layout, users of InDesign and InCopy need to be informed of that change to verify if it affects their work. In previous versions of the server and the plug-ins for InDesign and InCopy, this was controlled through the UPDATE_GEOM_SAVE option in the configserver.php file. With the improvements made in the plug-ins for Adobe 2020 and higher, this functionality has changed and the UPDATE_GEOM_SAVE option is not used anymore. It has therefore been removed, together with the following public methods:
• BizRelation::isPlacedArticleRelation()
• BizObjectLock::isLockedByDifferentUser()

• Removal of the WW_Utils_IpAddressRange class. As a result of making improvements to the code, the WW_Utils_IpAddressRange class has been replaced by the WW_Utils_IpAddressRangeChecker class.

Changes

The following changes have been made in this release of Studio Server:

• Archiving files to Assets Server: The following changes have been made:
• It is now possible to keep files in Studio Server after they have been archived to Assets Server. Deleting the files from Studio Server used to be an implicit step that was part of the archive operation, but has now become a configurable option that can enabled or disabled.

For this, a new option named 'After archiving' is added to the configuration options of each archive schema. It contains 2 settings to choose from:

1. Delete files. When selected, the archived files are deleted from Studio Server. Note that files are purged; they cannot be found in the Trash Can and cannot be restored.
2. Send files to next Status. When selected, the layout, Digital article, or Dossier is sent to the next Workflow Status. (Only applicable when the Delete files option is not selected, else it has no effect.)

• It is now possible to send files to the next Workflow Status. When a layout, Digital article, or Dossier is kept in Studio Server after archiving, it is sent to the next Workflow Status.

• It is now possible to automate tasks on files in Studio Server after archiving. Combining the two options above, files can be kept in Studio Server and sent to the next Status. This makes it possible for integrators to automate tasks on these files such as modifying them in a way which results in versions that are not suited for archiving, converting print layouts to digital articles, and so on.

• The period at which the archiving should start can now be defined in hours instead of days for better control of the archiving process. For this, the option 'Archive after (days)' has been renamed to 'Archive after (hours)'.

• The option 'Archive after (hours)' now also applies when Trigger 'Status Based' is chosen. This makes it possible for this method of archiving to keep the files in the system for a short while to perform specific actions on them and to prevent that they are archived instantly.

• The archiving process can now be started before the trigger is reached by setting a negative value in hours.

• When archiving layouts, Collections are now created to represent the Dossier structure. Layouts are typically part of multiple Dossiers: one for each Story consisting of the layout, an article that is placed on the layout, some images that are placed on the layout, and additional reference files. To represent this structure in the archive, Collections are now created in the archive folder: one for each Dossier that contains the layout as well as the article and any other files that are placed on the layout.

• Compatibility with Elvis Server increased to version 6.44 or higher. Because of the added functionality of creating Collections when archiving layouts, the compatibility with Elvis Server has been increased to version 6.44 or higher.

For more information about archiving, see Archiving files from Studio Server 10.13.1 or higher to Assets Server.

Note: When upgrading previous versions of Studio Server, archive settings are automatically updated to the new options and set to the default value (which reflects the configuration of the version that is upgraded from).

New features

The following has been added in this release of Studio Server:

• Support for Webhooks. A Webhook listens for specific triggers and then performs a predetermined action. Webhooks can now be used for adding customizations to Studio Server.

Important: This feature is currently experimental, incomplete and subject to change. Nevertheless, we invite you to experiment with it. Based on your feedback we can refine and shape this feature into the right direction.

Background information

In previous versions of the server, adding customizations was solely done through the use of custom Server plug-ins. Such plug-ins sit directly on top of the Studio Server technology stack (PHP version, Studio Server version, and so on) and as a result can make server upgrades problematic because manual attention may be required by the integrators to make them compatible with the upgraded technology stack.

By introducing the Webhooks concept, we enable our partners and integrators to use modern integration platforms such as Workato.

Webhook calls made by Studio Server travel over HTTP to the integration platform which makes the customizations built for Studio sit on top of the technology stack of that integration platform rather than the one of Studio Server. Studio Server can then also be upgraded without the need to migrate the customizations because these are now hosted by the integration platform.

Note: The Webhooks concept does not make the custom server plug-ins concept obsolete because there are many pros and cons between using each concept. Many customizations are currently made with custom server plug-ins that are simply unachievable by using Webhooks because of various technical reasons. Webhooks should therefore be positioned as a good alternative, when technically feasible.

What is implemented?

Some basic workflow services of Studio Server are now pushing event data into the Event Bus. Also, the following has been added:

• A Server plug-in named Webhooks.
• A configuration file: config/config_webhooks.php.
• Options (prefixed with EVENT_BUS_ ) in the config/configserver.php file.
• A message queue named Event Bus to RabbitMQ (added by Studio Server).
• A message queue for each Webhook registration to RabbitMQ (added by Studio Server).
• An event processor for the Event Bus queue (to be executed with a scheduler).
• An event processor for the Webhooks queues (to be executed with a scheduler).

More information

For more information, see the Webhooks page in the Web Services Guide.

Changes

The following changes have been made in this release of Studio Server:

• Compatibility Matrix. Compared to Studio Server 10.12, the following changes have been made to the compatibility between Studio Server and other systems:

• Support for creating catalogs removed (Datasource integration). Support for creating catalogs that was marked as deprecated in Studio Server 10.12.0 has now been fully removed.

The integration was offered through the following web service interfaces:

• Data Source (workflow Data Source). Used for integrating any external storage carrying structured catalog data.
• Data Source admin. Administered the data such as creating, getting, and saving queries used in the Data Source interface.

These interfaces have now been removed. As a result, the services under these interfaces cannot be called anymore, even when they have their own integrations / plug-ins.

Next to the components and functionality that were removed in Studio Server 10.12, the items below have now also been removed.

The following Web Services have been removed:

• The Admin Data Source interface (StudioServer/server/interfaces/PlutusAdmin.wsdl)
• The Data Source interface (StudioServer/server/interfaces/PlutusDatasource.wsdl)

No services related to the Data Source can be called anymore.

The following files have been removed:

• StudioServer/server/bizclasses/BizAdmDatasource.class.php
• StudioServer/server/bizclasses/BizDatasource.class.php
• StudioServer/server/bizclasses/BizDatasourceUtils.php
• StudioServer/server/dbclasses/DBDatasource.class.php

The following Studio business connector has been removed:

• DataSource_EnterpriseConnector

This means that in the custom server plug-in, in the <pluginName>/PluginInfo.php file, the following entry cannot be called anymore in the getConnectorInterfaces() function:

final public function getConnectorInterfaces() 
{ 
     return array( 'DataSource_EnterpriseConnector'  );
}

The following web service connectors have been removed:

Because the Admin DataSource and Workflow DataSource interfaces have been removed, the web services connected to them are also no longer supported.

This means that in the custom server plug-in, in the <pluginName>/PluginInfo.php file, the Ads*_EnterpriseConnector and Dat*_EnterpriseConnector entries cannot be called in the getConnectorInterfaces() function anymore.

final public function getConnectorInterfaces() 
{ 
     return array( 'AdsGetSettings_EnterpriseConnector'  );
}

final public function getConnectorInterfaces() 
{ 
     return array( 'DatGetRecords_EnterpriseConnector'  );
}

The following database tables have been removed:

• smart_datasources
• smart_dsobjupdates
• smart_dspublications
• smart_dsqueries
• smart_dsqueryfamilies
• smart_dsqueryfields
• smart_dsqueryplacements
• smart_dssettings
• smart_dsupdates

The following Maintenance page has been removed:

• Integrations > Data sources

• Axaio MadeToPrint integration: manipulating Edition IDs. The signature of one of the Enterprise Connector methods of the MadeToPrint integration has been changed to make it possible for customization scripts to manipulate the Edition ID.

It involves the following method:

\AxaioMadeToPrintDispatcher_EnterpriseConnector::queueLayoutObjectFilterEditions()

Its signature has been changed from:

queueLayoutObjectFilterEditions( array $layEditions ....

to:

queueLayoutObjectFilterEditions( array &$layEditions ....

New features

The following features have been added in this release of Studio Server:

• Compatibility with InDesign Server 2022. Studio Server 10.11.5 or any higher version of version 10.11 is compatible with Adobe InDesign Server 2022.

Changes

The following changes have been made in this release of Studio Server:

• Removal of UPDATE_GEOM_SAVE option. When an article is placed on a layout and a change is made to that article or layout, users of InDesign and InCopy need to be informed of that change to verify if it affects their work. In previous versions of the server and the plug-ins for InDesign and InCopy, this was controlled through the UPDATE_GEOM_SAVE option in the configserver.php file. With the improvements made in the plug-ins for Adobe 2020 and higher, this functionality has changed and the UPDATE_GEOM_SAVE option is not used anymore. It has therefore been removed, together with the following public methods:
• BizRelation::isPlacedArticleRelation()
• BizObjectLock::isLockedByDifferentUser()

• MadeToPrint: A subsequent job is now triggered when a processed job sets a status and a job exists for that status. When a processed MadeToPrint job is completed, the file is set to another Workflow Status to move it along in the workflow process.

When another job exists for that new status, this job is now automatically triggered. In previous versions, the job was only triggered when the file was manually re-set to the status.

• Workflow: TicketHash added to the CheckTicket workflow service. The workflow service CheckTicket now provides a TicketHash in its response. This is specified in the SCEnterprise.wsdl file accordingly (in a backwards compatible manner to not break existing client applications that are unaware of this change). This ticket hash can be used by Studio to compare it with the ticket hash that arrives through an event message. When the same, Studio may conclude that the event was caused by the client app itself and thus may be ignored (to avoid applying the same change in the UI twice).

Changes

The following changes have been made in this release of Studio Server:

• Archiving files to Assets Server: The following changes have been made:
• It is now possible to keep files in Studio Server after they have been archived to Assets Server. Deleting the files from Studio Server used to be an implicit step that was part of the archive operation, but has now become a configurable option that can enabled or disabled.

For this, a new option named 'After archiving' is added to the configuration options of each archive schema. It contains 2 settings to choose from:

1. Delete files. When selected, the archived files are deleted from Studio Server. Note that files are purged; they cannot be found in the Trash Can and cannot be restored.
2. Send files to next Status. When selected, the layout, Digital article, or Dossier is sent to the next Workflow Status. (Only applicable when the Delete files option is not selected, else it has no effect.)

• It is now possible to send files to the next Workflow Status. When a layout, Digital article, or Dossier is kept in Studio Server after archiving, it is sent to the next Workflow Status.

• It is now possible to automate tasks on files in Studio Server after archiving. Combining the two options above, files can be kept in Studio Server and sent to the next Status. This makes it possible for integrators to automate tasks on these files such as modifying them in a way which results in versions that are not suited for archiving, converting print layouts to digital articles, and so on.

• The option 'Archive after (hours)' now also applies when Trigger 'Status Based' is chosen. This makes it possible for this method of archiving to keep the files in the system for a short while to perform specific actions on them and to prevent that they are archived instantly.

• The archiving process can now be started before the trigger is reached by setting a negative value in hours.

• When archiving layouts, Collections are now created to represent the Dossier structure. Layouts are typically part of multiple Dossiers: one for each Story consisting of the layout, an article that is placed on the layout, some images that are placed on the layout, and additional reference files. To represent this structure in the archive, Collections are now created in the archive folder: one for each Dossier that contains the layout as well as the article and any other files that are placed on the layout.

• Compatibility with Elvis Server increased to version 6.44 or higher. Because of the added functionality of creating Collections when archiving layouts, the compatibility with Elvis Server has been increased to version 6.44 or higher.

For more information about archiving, see Archiving files from Studio Server 10.11.4 or higher to Assets Server.

New features

The following has been introduced in this release of Studio Server:

• Archiving Adverts. Support for archiving Adverts from Studio Server to Assets Server has been added. They are typically archived as part of the layout on which they are placed, but unplaced Adverts can also be archived as part of the process of archiving Dossiers.

Take note of the following:

• An Advert is archived as an image, not as an Advert object. The archived image will have the original Workflow Status of the Advert object. When the image is restored, it will be assigned the default Workflow Status for images, as configured in Studio Server.
• To archive an Advert, a high-resolution version of the Advert should be available (typically in the form of a PDF file). This file should not be stored on an external drive but in the File Store folder of Studio Server.
• When an Advert is placed on a layout, it will get archived through the print based archiving schema.
• When an Advert is not placed on a layout but is part of a Dossier, it will get archived through the Dossier based archiving schema.
• When an Advert is not placed on a layout and is not part of a Dossier, it is not archived.

For more information about archiving, see Archiving files from Studio Server 10.11.1 – 10.11.3 or higher to Assets Server.

Changes

The following changes have been made in this release of Studio Server:

• Archiving: A layout that contains a planned image is considered to be incomplete and therefore not ready for archiving. When the archiving process is run, the process for that layout now fails and an error is shown to the user.

New features

The following has been introduced in this release of Studio Server:

• Compatibility: Support for Adobe 2021 added. Studio Server 10.11.2 is compatible with InDesign 2021, InDesign Server 2021, and InCopy 2021.

Note: The use of these applications requires Studio for InDesign and InCopy 2021 (version 16.0.0).

• Archiving based on Workflow Status: Archiving files to Assets Server can now also be done based on a dedicated Workflow Status such as 'Ready for Archiving'. Any file that is set to that status is automatically archived. This archiving method is known as 'Status based' archiving and is in addition to the already existing Continuous and Issue based archiving in which files are archived when a defined number of days has passed since a specific date.

Status based archiving is used for archiving files when they are ready to be archived and makes it possible for example to prepare periodic publications well in advance of the actual publication (such as a Christmas edition that is prepared during the summer), or tweak publications after they have been published (such as modifying layouts for XML export).

Note: Although Status based archiving is a manual way of archiving files, the actual archiving process is a scheduled process and therefore determined by how often this process is run. Technically it is therefore also time based.

To make Status Based archiving work, the following has been added:

• On the Brand Maintenance page: a Trigger named 'Status Based'. When enabling this for a Digital article, Dossier, or layout, files are archived when they are assigned to a dedicated Workflow Status.

• On the Workflow Maintenance page: an option named 'Send to Archive'. Enabling this for a Workflow Status indicates that any file that is set to that status is marked for archiving based on the Status Based archiving method.

Figure: The Send to Archive option on the Workflow Maintenance page. Here. a Workflow Status 'Ready for Archiving' has been created for which the option is enabled.

For more information, see Archiving files from Studio Server 10.11.1 – 10.11.3 or higher to Assets Server.

Changes

The following changes have been made in this release of Studio Server:

• Preview performance optimization: master spreads are deleted when previews are generated on InDesign Server. The performance of the Layout preview in the Print editor of Studio has been optimized by deleting unused master spreads from the layout when the preview is generated. We have observed that layouts that contain many master spreads with content can significantly delay the preview generation of that layout.

This change is implemented in the IDPreview.jsx script that is run by InDesign Server.

Note: The master spreads are only removed from the local copy for InDesign Server; it does not affect the layout that is saved in Studio Server.

• Archiving: When the process to see if candidate layouts are available for archiving is run, layouts that are found are now first checked to see if they are part of an InDesign Server Job. When this is the case, these layouts are then not archived and an error is raised to make the user aware of this.

• Access Rights: The Access Right 'Content Station Pro - Edition' has been removed; support for Content Station in combination with Studio Server was already dropped. The access right will be removed from the database during the upgrade.

New features

The following feature has been introduced in this release of Studio Server:

• Archiving Dossiers to Assets Server. Dossiers can now be archived to Assets Server in the following ways:
• When a layout or Digital article is archived, all files in the Dossier of which the layout or Digital article is part can now also be archived.
• Dossiers that do not contain a layout or Digital article (such as Dossiers containing reference material or a Print article) can now also be archived.

For more information, see Archiving files from Studio Server 10.11.1 – 10.11.3 or higher to Assets Server.

Changes

The following changes have been made in this release of Studio Server:

• Archiving files to Asset Server. The following changes have been made:

• Digital articles do not have to be placed in a Dossier anymore to be archived.

• Archiving layouts and Digital articles can now also be based on a custom number of days that have passed since the layout was last modified.

• When setting up the Archive Zone folder using wildcards, the year, month, and day of the publication date of the Issue can now be included in the folder name by using the following wildcard:

${publicationdate:Y-m-d}

• This wildcard is ignored when the layout, Digital article, or Dossier is not targeted for an Issue.
• When a layout, Digital article, or Dossier is targeted to more than one Issue, the name of the first Issue is taken.

For more information, see Archiving files from Studio Server 10.11.1 – 10.11.3 or higher to Assets Server.

• Integration with Assets Server: password settings validation. In previous versions, the password restrictions that were defined in the configserver.php file (such as the required number of characters) were not validated. When not making use of authentication providers such as LDAP/Active Directory, Okta or AWS Cognito, it was possible therefore to create user accounts that did not adhere to these restrictions This has now been fixed.

We advice to have all users reset their passwords for logging in to Studio Server. Note that this is only needed when all of the following is true:

• No third-party authentication providers such as LDAP/Active Directory, Okta, or AWS Cognito are used.

• The WoodWing Assets plug-in is enabled.

• Changes have been made to the default settings of the Password management configuration in the configserver.php or config_overrule.php file.

• Display order of Brands. When setting up Brands, the order in which the Brands are displayed can be defined by assigning a number to each Brand. When multiple Brands have the same number, these Brands are now sorted alphabetically. In previous versions they were sorted by creation date or sometimes randomly.

• Searching: sorting on status. When Solr was not enabled in previous versions, and the user sorted the search results on the Status column, the results were sorted by their order as set on the Workflow Status page. Now, the sorting is done alphabetically by status name.

If sorting on status order is still preferred, set the following option in the configserver.php/config_overrule.php file to 'true':

SORT_ON_STATE_ORDER'

Note: The 'SORT_ON_STATE_ORDER' setting is not new but was ignored when Solr was not enabled.

• Web Services: AdmCopyPublications service enabled. The AdmCopyPublications service which used to be commented out in the WSDL has now been enabled. For more information, see the Web Services Guide.

• Upgrading an existing installation of Studio Server - updated
• Upgrading Enterprise Server to Studio Server 10.10 or higher - updated

Known issues

The following known issue exists for this release of Studio Server:

• PHP. A recent PHP security fix (#79699) has impacted the communication between Studio Server and the client applications, preventing the applications from logging in to Studio Server. To avoid this issue, the highest supported version of PHP is currently 7.3.22.

This will be resolved as soon as possible in the form of a quick path for Studio Server 10.11.1.

New features

The following feature has been introduced in this release of Studio Server:

• Maintenance pages now contain breadcrumb navigation. To make navigating the Maintenance pages easier, and to better visualize where in the structure the user is currently working, breadcrumb navigation has been added to all Maintenance pages.

Changes

The following sections list the changes that have been made in this release of Studio Server.

• Compatibility Matrix. Compared to Studio Server 10.10, various changes have been made to the compatibility between Studio Server and other systems as shown in the following table.

• Upgrading. Various changes have been made to Studio Server 10.11.0 which affects upgrading from previous versions. This includes:
• The upgrade path
• Features that are no longer supported
• Changes to Named Queries, PHP classes, PHP functions, database items, and more

For details, see Upgrading Enterprise Server to Studio Server 10.10 or higher.

• Assets Server integration. To following changes have been made to the functionality of archiving files to Assets Server:

• The configuration of the 'Archive Zone' and 'Archive after (days)' options can now be set for each archive schema separately. In previous versions, when both 'Issue based' and 'Continuous' archive schemas were selected, the 'Archive Zone' and 'Archive after (days)' options applied to both these schemas. Now, the 'Archive Zone' and 'Archive after (days)' options can be defined separately for each schema.

• New and changed configuration options. In the config_elvis.php file, one configuration option has changed and three new options have been added to give more control over the default values of the two properties:

• New default values. The default value for the 'Archive after (days)' option has been changed from zero (0) to the following values:

• Continues archive schema: 30
• Issue Based schema: 7

• Health Check test. When running the 'WoodWing Assets Content Source' test on the Health Check page, any of the options mentioned above are automatically checked. When no values have been set for a Brand, they automatically get the default value assigned.

When options have been repaired, an orange 'UPDATE' icon is shown together with a list of affected Brands. Each Brand can be clicked to navigate to its Brand Maintenance page for manual examination.

• InDesign Server integration. The following changes have been made:

• Logging is now off by default and can be enabled for debugging. In previous versions, logging by InDesign Server Jobs to various devices was enabled by default and could not be disabled. This could potentially negatively affect the performance of the production environment.

Now, logging is off by default and can be enabled for debugging purposes when needed. This is done through the following option in the configserver.php file:

INDESIGNSERV_LOGTODEVICES

For details, see Controlling InDesign Server Job logging in Studio Server.

• Scripts are no longer uploaded to InDesign Server during production. In previous versions, InDesign Server Jobs always uploaded their script to InDesign Server just before it was executed. This is now no longer done during production hours. Instead, scripts are uploaded during installation time and cached on the InDesign Server host machine.

Scripts are taken by the Health Check page from the StudioServer/server/utils/idsscripts folder and distributed to all InDesign Server machines (connected to Studio Server) in the following folder:

• MacOS: ~/Library/Preferences/Adobe InDesign Server/Version x.y/
  en_US/configuration_<port number>/Scripts/WwEnterpriseUtils
• Windows: %USERHOME%\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\InDesign Server\Version x.y\
  en_US\configuration_<port number>\Scripts\WwEnterpriseUtils

Where:

• Version x.y is the InDesign Server Version. For example: 'Version 15.0'.
• configuration_<port number> is the port on which InDesign Server is started. For example: 'configuration_18387'.

• No need anymore for a shared or mounted WebEdit folder with InDesign Server. In previous versions, the path to the WEBEDITDIR folder needed to be defined in the WEBEDITDIRIDSERV option. This option has now been dropped and a mount from either the Studio Server machines and/or from the InDesign Server machines is no longer needed.

Studio Server still needs access to the WebEdit folder that is shared between the application servers. However, Studio Server now creates a WebEdit folder for each InDesign Server machine automatically (without the need for configuration). This folder is shared between the InDesign Server instances running on that machine only. Files that needs to be shared will be transferred over HTTP automatically.

This folder is created in the following location:

• MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/WwIdsWorkSpace
• Windows: %USERDATA%/WwIdsWorkSpace (by default, C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\WwIdsWorkSpace)

• The generateOutputPages function can no longer be used. Integrations may have used this function provided by the BizWebEditWorkspace class. However, the parameters for this function have been heavily changed due to the changes mentioned above. More importantly, the function is no longer static or public and can therefore no longer be called.

Note: As this is a breaking change, integrators should look for an alternative solution for integrations using this function.

• Drop in preview performance. Due to the changes mentioned above, the performance of generating previews has dropped with an average of about 12%. (The actual figure depends on many factors, such as the size of the layout and article, and the number of images used.)

• Support for the use of certificate files via WWSettings.xml dropped. This SSL feature of Studio for InDesign Server can no longer be used for the preview feature of the InDesign Server integration. This is because the generated previews are now directly uploaded to Studio Server by the InDesign Server preview script.

Note: Specifying certificate files is still supported by Studio for InDesign Server. SSL connections for the preview feature can also still be set up. For the latter, the certificates registered at operating system level are used.

• Periodic clean-up of the WebEdit folders should be planned. When installing a new InDesign Server host (or upgrading an existing InDesign Server host) to connect to Studio Server, the WebEdit folders should be cleaned periodically.

These folders are created by the InDesign Server preview script (provided by Studio Server) for each preview session.

When an InDesign Server host is busy, the WebEdit folder is created by another InDesign Server host.

To make maximum use of the InDesign Server capacity (and to not have the process delayed because of auto-cleaning operations) it is the responsibility of the system operator to periodically remove the WebEdit folders.

The more users are served, the more often this should happen. However, doing this too often can lead to inefficiencies. A good starting point is to clean the folder every 15 minutes and to remove all WebEdit folders in the InDesign Server Workspace folder that are older than one hour.

For Windows Server, two example scripts are provided: a clean-up script that does the actual cleaning and an installation script that makes it periodically run with help of the Windows Task Scheduler. The scripts can be found in the StudioServer/sdk/ids folder.

Further instructions can be found in the headers of the scripts.

Note: The scripts provided are a guideline for setting up the automated cleaning. Usage of it is at your own risk; support for these scripts is not provided by WoodWing.

The Workspace folder can be found in the following locations:

• Windows: %USERDATA%\WwIdsWorkSpace
• MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/WwIdsWorkSpace

• Publication Channels. The following has been changed:

• The behavior of a Publication Channel of type 'Web' is now the same as for type 'Print'. When a Dossier was created in previous versions, the Issue that was assigned to any objects within the Dossier depended on the Issue that the Dossier was assigned to: an Issue belonging to a Publication Channel of type 'Print' or of type 'Web'.

Example: When an article was created in a Dossier assigned to an Issue of a Publication Channel of type 'Print', the article was also assigned to the Print Issue. However, when an article was created in a Dossier assigned to an Issue of a Publication Channel of type 'Web', the article was not assigned to the Web Issue.

In Studio Server 10.11.0, an object that is created within a Dossier assigned to an Issue of a Publication Channel of type 'Web' is now also assigned to that Web Issue.

Note: When searching for files by filtering on a Web issue, all the child objects are now returned instead of only the Dossiers. (Applies to objects created in Studio Server 10.11.0 or higher only; objects created in previous versions will still not appear in the search results.

• Third-party libraries. The following has been changed:

• The Zend Framework has been replaced by Laminas. The Zend Framework and all its sub-projects has been transitioned to an open source project hosted at the Linux Foundation. As a result, the following changes have been made:

• The Zend Framework in the StudioServer/server/vendor folder has been replaced by Laminas.
• Zend Framework usages by Studio Server have been replaced with Laminas.

• Web service performance. As the footprint of Studio Server has been reduced, the web services show an improved performance.

This has been tested by running the ServerStudio/server/wwtest/speedtest.php module using its default options but with the 'Number of runs' option set to 5.

The test was run using the following configuration:

• Application Server running on Apache 2.4 + PHP 7.3 + ImageMagick + ExifTool + CentOS 7 instance in AWS (m5.large).
• Database running on MySQL 8.0 + CentOS 7 instance in AWS (m5.large).
• Server logging and profiling disabled.
• 3rd-party integrations disabled (InDesign Server, Elvis, RabbitMQ, Solr, and so on).
• Enterprise Server 10.8 and Studio Server 10.11 installed side-by-side (on the same instances).

• The database was set up with the standard WW News Brand configuration.

• One test run was made for SOAP and one for JSON-RPC.

Note: The InDesign/InCopy plug-ins for Studio are using SOAP and the Studio web application is using JSON-RPC.

The calculated Average outcomes are compared between Enterprise Server 10.8 and Studio Server 10.11 installations:

• SOAP performance improved by 16%.
• JSON-RPC performance improved by 29%.

• SpeedTest tool. Various improvements were made to the ServerStudio/server/wwtest/speedtest.php module:

• The Version option has been removed as it lists very old server versions that are no longer relevant.

• A new option named Protocols has been added. It makes it possible to run the tests over SOAP or JSON-RPC.

Note: The InDesign/InCopy plug-ins for Studio are using SOAP and the Studio web application is using JSON-RPC.

• The Average calculation has been improved. Outcomes of the lowest performance (the highest value) are now ignored and are shown in strikethrough text.

• A Best calculation is now also performed. It shows the fastest execution of the runs.

• The Summary report now shows totals calculated for each test run (shown when performing more than 1 test run).

• Health Check page. The following changes have been made:

• The 'InDesign Server / CS editor' test has been renamed to 'InDesign Server'. The 'CS editor' part was included because the test was originally used for the previews of the Content Station editor.

However, only the configured InDesign Server instances were tested. Because these are used for more purposes nowadays such as the InDesign Server Automation feature, naming the test 'InDesign Server' better reflects its purpose.

• The WSDL Cache is now automatically repaired. In previous versions, when the WSDL Cache was outdated, the WSDL Cache entry showed a WARNING icon and provided a link to clear the cache.

Now, an UPDATED icon is shown and the cache is automatically cleared when it is outdated. When the cache is cleared or up-to-date, an OK icon is shown.

• LOGFILE_FORMAT. The LOGFILE_FORMAT option in the configserver.php file now also makes it possible to output in JSON format.

The output contains fields respecting the Elastic Common Schema, designed for centralized logging. It can be set up with the help of third-party tools such as Filebeat for reading logs and saving them in ElasticSearch.
