Changes from version 6.3

Changes

• A lot of improvements and changes in the REST API.
• Language detection is disabled by default.
• Parameters in OpenKM.cfg with value “on” have the value “true” in openkm.properties.
• Because we consider the Database storage feature to be conceptually malicious and always providing poor performance, it has been definitively removed. That’s why the configuration parameter “repository.datastore.backend” has been removed.
• The password of the user stored in the database using MD5 encryption has been changed to bcrypt encryption.
• The Security access manager works with a plugin architecture. More information at Creating your own security access manager and Security configuration.
• Deprecated parameter named “hibernate.search.index.home”. Take a look at Change repository home.
• Deprecated configuration parameter named “ask.drag.and.drop.updates”.
• New templates location based on node types:
  • /okm:templates/documents
  • /okm:templates/folders
  • /okm:templates/mails
• Templates may be filtered by categories. You must create categories at /okm:categories/templates.
• In previous versions, the metadata group was first added empty, and then the metadata values were set. Starting with this version, the metadata group is added with values.
