Assets Server 6.114
Assets Server version: 6.114.1.1223
Release date: 12 November 2024
New features
No features have been added in this release of Assets Server.
Changes
The following changes have been made in this release of Assets Server:
- The feature to let users keep or replace metadata when a file is checked in or replaced can now be disabled. Assets Server 6.107 introduced a feature where users who check in or replace a file are by default offered the choice to replace the metadata values of the original file by the metadata values of the checked-in file, or to keep the original metadata. This feature can now be disabled when users should not be offered these choices. This is done by setting the following option on the Cluster properties page to false:
- enableCheckInKeepMetadata=false
With this configuration, the metadata values of the original file are replaced by the metadata values of the checked-in file; users are not offered the choice to replace or keep the metadata (identical to the functionality in Assets Server 6.106 and lower).
For more information, see Controlling metadata values when checking in or replacing a file in Assets Server.
Fixed issues

Assets Server 6.113
Assets Server version: 6.113.1.1220
Release date: 15 October 2024
New features
No features have been added in this release of Assets Server.
Changes
The following changes have been made in this release of Assets Server:
- When using the Versioning and history API, the internal IP address that was used is now hidden in the History panel of Assets. When returning the history data using the Versioning and history API, the internal IP address of the user is also included. This address can be viewed in the History panel of Assets using the developer tools of the web browser and can potentially be used in a malicious attack.
Starting from Assets Server 6.113, this IP address is replaced by the text [hidden].
In case the IP address should not be hidden, the following setting in the cluster-config.properties.txt file can be set to false:
- hideInternalNetworkInfo

Assets Server 6.112
Assets Server version: 6.112.1.1209
Release date: 17 September 2024
New features
The following features have been added in this release of Assets Server:
- The process of moving or copying folders can now be canceled by the system administrator. When a folder containing a large number of files is moved or copied by a user by mistake, this process can now be canceled on the Server status page in the Management Console. In previous versions, the affected node had to be stopped, which resulted in a disruption in production.
Users should contact the system administrator as soon as possible in these situations. When the process has been canceled, the user who started the process will see a notification appear. Any files that have been moved or copied before the process was canceled will have to be restored manually.
-
Files with an unknown file format can now be prevented from being processed. When files are uploaded of which the file type is not known, processes such as generating a preview and thumbnail will fail. This can result in nuisance errors in log files, a decrease in processing performance, and a negative user experience.
To improve this, the processing of files with an unknown file format can now be disabled. When this happens, an unsupported file operation exception will be shown. This is done by setting the following option to true or false in the cluster-config.properties.txt file:
- processUnknownFileTypes
- The assets history output can now be limited. When users work on assets, a history of specific actions is kept so that it can be determined which changes were made, when these were made, and who made them. These changes can be viewed in the History panel in Assets. Over time, this can result in thousand of records for each file. This can negatively affect the loading time of the data in the History panel.
Another factor that could negatively affect the performance of the History panel is the amount of data that is stored in the changedMetadata field. In addition, when an API call is made to retrieve the history data, it may not make sense to retrieve all records when many records exist.
The following options can therefore be configured in the cluster-config.properties.txt file to improve these scenarios:
| Option | Function |
|---|---|
| assetHistoryMaxRecordsClient |
For limiting the maximum number of records displayed in the History panel. Default value: 1000. |
| assetHistoryMaxRecordsAPI |
For limiting the maximum number of records returned by the Versioning and history REST API. Default value: unlimited. |
| metadataChangeHistoryFieldLength |
For reducing the amount of data stored in the changedMetadata field. Default value: unlimited.
|
- Cookies can now be prevented from being sent by a web browser with cross-origin requests. To provide some protection against cross-site request forgery attacks (CSRF), cookies can now be prevented from being sent by a web browser with cross-origin requests.
This can be done by configuring the following option in the cluster-config.properties.txt file:
- session.cookie.sameSite
Possible values:
- strict. Cookies will only be sent in a first-party context and not be sent along with requests initiated by third-party websites. The browser sends the cookie only for same-site requests (meaning: requests originating from the same site that set the cookie). If the request originated from a different URL than the current one, no cookies with the SameSite=Strict attribute are sent.
- lax. Cookies are allowed to be sent with top-level navigation and will be sent along with GET requests initiated by a third party website.
- none. The browser sends the cookie with both cross-site and same-site requests.
Note: For the changed value to take effect, the user needs to log out and log in again.
Changes
The following changes have been made in this release of Assets Server:
- The Index revision tool now shows the total number of documents in an index and provides more detailed information during a re-indexing process. The following improvements have been made to the Index revision tool:
- A column 'Documents' has been added showing the total number of documents that are part of the index. During re-indexing, it also shows the number and percentage of the documents that have been re-indexed so far.
- When the re-indexing process finishes or fails, the state of the buttons is now automatically updated.
Figure: The new Documents column shows the total number of documents in an index, and during a re-indexing process, also the total number and percentage of documents processed.
- The external engine watermark property is now prevented from being configured, ensuring that its value is set only by the local property. Currently, each external processing engine configuration has a separate watermark field. This can be modified in the Management Console or using the external processing API and overrides the local watermark value set in the configuration properties. To make sure that the locally configured watermark is used, no watermark can be configured anymore when an external engine is enabled.

Assets Server 6.107
Assets Server version: 6.107.1.1164
Release date: 5 March 2024
New features
The following features have been added in this release of Assets Server:
- An option has been added for disabling automatic reindexing during the startup of Assets Server. After starting up an Assets Server cluster, a reindex might be triggered. This happens when a new index revision is available and an old revision is still present and not empty. In scenarios in which such a reindexing during startup is not required, this process can now be disabled by setting the new 'disableAutomaticReindex' setting to 'true'.
For more information, see Disabling the automatic reindexing during the startup of Assets Server.
- An option has been added to have the metadata value of a field replaced during check in even though the user has chosen not to replace it. In previous versions of Assets, when a file was replaced or checked-in (either with the edited version of the checked-out file or by a completely different file), the metadata values of the original file were always replaced by the metadata values of the file that was checked in.
In certain scenarios though, it could be necessary to keep the values of the original file but replace the values of specific fields (such as the copyright information of the file that is checked in).
In Assets 6.107 or higher, when a user chooses the Check in option or the Replace option, the user can now choose to replace the metadata values or to keep the original values.
When the user has chosen to keep the original values, the system can be configured to have the metadata value for one or more fields updated regardless. This configuration is done by setting the 'keepOnCheckIn' option for that metadata field to 'false' in the custom-assetinfo.xml file.
For more information, see Controlling metadata values when checking in or replacing a file in Assets Server.
- A keepMetadata parameter has been added to the update / check-in REST API. The update / check-in REST API updates an existing asset in Assets Server with a new file. It can also be used to update metadata. To support the feature of replacing the metadata value of a field during check in even though the user has chosen not to replace it, a keepMetadata parameter has been added. When set to True, Assets metadata configured in the custom-assetinfo.xml file is maintained instead of being overridden from an external file.
