Released Sitecore CMS 6.0.0 Update rev.080912

Hey guys,

just a short one. This message just arrived:

Sitecore 6.0.0 Update rev. 080912 has been released on 18th of September.

Please, read the latest release notes on SDN:

http://sdn5.sitecore.net/Products/Sitecore%20V5/Sitecore%20CMS%206/ReleaseNotes/ChangeLog.aspx

Partners can download it from the binary section on SDN:

http://sdn5.sitecore.net/SDN5/Products/Sitecore%20V5/Sitecore%20CMS%206/Update/6_0_0_rev_080912.aspx

and in order to see what has changed:

Fixed: The Sitecore Client Authoring role had been assigned all access rights for the /sitecore/content item, which gave all content authors more access rights than intended.

Fixed: A runtime error could occur when a user attempted to select a workflow command to move an item from one state to another.

Fixed: Despite restricting access to an item in a specific workflow state, the “Edit” button was still enabled and allowed users to edit the item.

Fixed: The AccessResultCache was not always cleared after an item was moved to another workflow state, which could result in inappropriate access rights assigned to the item.

Fixed: The Page Editor Edit mode attempted to open the contentStartItem of the Shell Web site, rather than the startItem of associated Web site, which caused editing issues in multi-site installations.

Fixed: The ComponentArt grid control used in the User Manager initialized itself multiple times, causing slower than necessary startup performance in sites with many thousands of users.

It’s good to see that Sitecore is still pretty active to resolve all issues.

Sitecore Australia: LoadIT

Hey guys,

I got a message by Phil Heltewig from Siteore Australia, that there is a really outstanding Sitecore implementation.

LoadIt by Sanity is Microsoft Australia’s online music store which is completely integrated into the Windows Media Player. Every WMP user has the application starter installed by now and can install the full application by clicking on the LoadIt icon in the Windows Media Player.

And its all based on Sitecore! […]



Have a look at the youtube video or read more on Phil’s blog. Really nice.chris

Sitecore 6 fix for .NET 3.5 SP1 (rev. 080820)

Hey guys,

I just read that there is a fix for Sitecore 6 and the .NET framework 3.5 Service Pack 1. Due to this post the Sitecore CMS 6.0.0 Update rev.080820 is released.

Issues fixed:

Fixed: stability issues occurred with .NET 3.5 SP1 installed.

Fixed: items in a workflow were not automatically versioned when users edited them in the Page Editor mode.

Fixed: the media cache grew even when the link to a media library entry had the same query string parameters as the previous one.

Fixed: in some cases, deadlocks could occur during the recycling/restoring of items.

Fixed: Sitecore CMS could hang if the ‘Subitems Sorting’ definition in the Type field referred to a non-existent class or .dll file.

New features.

The performance of the ItemSerializer was increased.
The SQL generated for fast query can now be customized when implementing new data providers.
