2sxc 9.32 LTS with multi-install same app and deep insights (final)

You can now install the same app multiple times, which is great when you need the same functionality again but separate, or when you want to upgrade an app and want the new code running side-by side. And there's more...

Update: the pre-release was announced 2018-05-23, the final LTS was release 2018-06-20 with some more bug fixes.

Highlight: Multi-Install Same App

Often you will install an app (let's say the blog) and customize it. Then later you'll want to do that again - maybe to create a news-app which is almost the same. Now this can be done easily within 2sxc - it will detect that the app was already installed, ask you for a new name and do renaming / and GUID resets for you. 

Highlight: 2sxc Insights

When debugging the internals of such a complex solution as 2sxc, it's hard to see what's going on internally on a production system. For this we created an insights system to look deep into the internal logs, the caches and more. We've detailed this in the blog post Using 2sxc Insights

Highlight: LTS (Long Term Support)

This is an LTS release, meaning that we'll provide it long-term support (6 months) for bugfixes without additonal features. So we'll make sure this is a very stable release, and fixes will be fixes only without additional features (to ensure we don't introduce new risks). 

Tiny Features

  1. a new input field for json-type data (beta) #1524
  2. additional hardening of ADAM permissions for public use cases #1557
  3. additional hardening of API #1559
  4. .net core enhancements (we're beginning to cross-compile the various parts to get closer to .net core)

DNN 9.2 Compatibility Issues

DNN 9.2 has so many breaking changes, we're still discovering them as we're working. 

  1. Fix breaking change in DNN 9.2 Client Depedency #1566

Many Bugfixes

With the new features we introduced since 9.14 there were also quite a few bugs which appeared, including issues with search and draft/published data. These are fixed now, here's the list:

  • Global content-types were not loaded if a non-web process accessed an app first #1568, #1561, #1564
  • Bug with storing / caching draft-items #1570#1571
  • DNN thinks we're fixing an existing version, when we're actually upgrading #1555
  • JS error on certain non-AJAX reloads #1556
  • List of items for editing fails across zones even if user is host #1560
  • Adding page-link in WYSIWYG throws server error in api #1562
