ContentRepository 7.7.9 and Services.Core 0.0.7

This release is mostly a technical update that takes us closer to a full .Net Core solution. It also contains several bug fixes.

If you have the .Net Framework version of sensenet installed, this release does not require an upgrade patch: it is enough to update the packages in Visual Studio.

Features

• Added a new action and infrastructure for registering users using external providers.
• Our authentication middleware accepts identifiers in the client_sub claim as well along with the original sub claim.
• Secure file download feature has been implemented in the .Net Core Services layer.
• The in-memory blob provider (for testing purpuses) is able to handle chunk file upload requests.

OData improvements

• The OData middleware understands form-encoded request parameters.
• We ported the following actions to the new .Net Core Services layer:
  • Upload action
  • Delete action

Bug fixes

• Typescript metadata response contained a duplicate Type property.
• Typescript metadata HandlerName was missing from the schema.
• OData operations HasPermission and GetPermission became ODataFunctions (so that they can be called using a GET request).

sensenet Services 7.7.2

This release is mostly a technical update. We started working on converting the OData layer from .Net Framework to a modern .Net Standard solution. These are only the first steps, the changes can be observed only in source code. The goal is to let new .Net Core projects use our NuGet packages and install sensenet seamlessly - this will come in a future release.

To get this update on an existing repository, you need to execute a patch. Please download it from the assets list and execute it using SnAdmin on your machine first. It will take some time because we will rearrange metadata in the database during the patch.

Bug fixes

• Content Type save through OData.

Installation

sensenet Services 7.7.1

This release marks a major milestone for the sensenet Content Repository. We refactored our data storage layer to meet the requirements of other (non-relational) data storage platforms and modern programming patterns (e.g. async data access).

Client changes

Package changes to support .Net Standard
