This file contains important information about defects corrected in the latest version of Serena Collage. For information on installing and using the current release of Collage, see the readme file.
The following issues have been addressed in this release.
DEF69410: When you use Collage with MS SQL or Oracle, you cannot check in a new version of an asset that you have rolled back to a previous version without first making changes to the checked out file. If you first roll back, then check the asset out, check in will fail if you have not actually modified the working copy of the file, and the following message displays:
Check in failed for <filename> Message from server Status 1 2 Storage.Checkin3a3
DEF88004: When you create a new HTML asset in a project that was created from a deploy backup, the file is created as an XHTML asset type instead of as an HTML asset type.
DEF86653: An error occurs while purging the audit log that prevents the purge from completing successfully. When this occurs, the following error will be in the Tomcat log:
Storage: Asset.PurgeHistory:-SQLState(23503),SQLException:ASA Error -194: No primary key value for foreign key 'FK_ASSETVER_HID' in table 'AssetVersion' SQLState: 23503 errorCode: 546
DEF64879: When generating assets that include AssetQuery components with multiple metafilter attributes joined by a semicolon, 100% of CPU resources are consumed. For example, the following metafilter tag would result in this CPU condition:
DEF85739: The Navigation Bar component intermittently fails to generate during preview and deployment. The error java.lang.NullPointerException appears in its place.
DEF88020 and DEF88075: Deployment of an asset that includes an IncludeAsset component may fail if the component refers to a contribution document. The deployment error states that the correct HTML file could not be found.
INT89962: When you nest an AssetQuery component within another AssetQuery component, the $node.pdfurl, $node.psurl, and $node.htmlurl macros do not generate the correct links. The paths in the resulting links are incorrect, and the links do not work.
DEF89947: With the AssetQuery component, the root attribute does not work correctly if it is set to the current path. The root attribute is set to a blank or invalid value. As a result, the AssetQuery component fails.
DEF89743: When you attempt to use an assistant in Collage Contributor to create a new document, an error and stack trace will result if you do not have full permissions to the folder where the asset will be created. You are able to create the assets in Collage Classic, but attempting to create them from Collage Contributor results in the following error message:
DEF87398: Within the Firefox browser, you cannot browse to add files to a task.
DEF86866: When a task is in the review state, comments entered by reviewers are not saved.
DEF86621: In the Firefox browser, choosing the "Remove" option from the "To do next" page of the File Assistant wizard produces incorrect behavior. You are returned to the "To do next" page with additional options now visible.
DEF85796: When you use the "Automatic" assistant to create a new file in Collage Contributor, the default assistant is always used.
DEF85884: When you open a task, modify an asset and then save the asset to work on again later on, you are unable to reassign the task to another user. The following error displays:Unable to check in the asset, since user currently has checked out the asset in the task.
DEF85036: If you do not select users in the Grant Access To field when creating a new assistant, then all project and guest ares are automatically granted access to the assistant, by default.
DEF85951: If a file description includes a dollar ($) character, you are unable to open the file by clicking it under the Files I'm working on list on the Collage Contributor home page.
DEF86339: When you create a new task using Firefox on a Macintosh, the calendar control for choosing a date does not function correctly. You must resize the screen to see the entire control, and it often requires several clicks to open the control.
DEF87070: In the Firefox browser, when you create a new assistant, several options are missing when you attempt to define properties for the assistant. The missing options include From and To fields for dates, the check-box to set availability, and calendar controls.
DEF87278: In the Firefox browser, when you add a file to a task, the file is not displayed. You must close and reopen the task to display the associated file.
DEF83401: Clicking on a blank portion of the search results screen generates a Javascript error.
DEF82663: When defining a flow configuration from the Edit Flow Configuration dialog box in Collage Classic, you cannot see the entirely dialog box. A vertical scroll bar displays, but you cannot scroll all the way to the bottom of the dialog box.
DEF64891: When defining reusable content snippets for contribution documents, you can define links, such as image references (<img> tags) and links to other files (<a href> tags). However, when you preview or deploy files that include links in reusable content snippets, the paths do not generate correctly. They may include invalid absolute.
ENH67233: When editing contribution documents, reusable content snippets that include <param> tags are not correctly saved. When you insert one of these snippets and then save the document from the contribution editor, the <param> tags are removed. This does not occur in the Source view in the contribution editor.
ENH69869 and ENH69576: In previous versions, you could not include components, such as IncludeAsset and AssetQuery, in reusable content snippets in content contribution documents.
ENH66573: In previous versions you could not include applets (<applet> tags) in reusable content snippeds in content contribution documents.
ENH76134: When you copy text from a Microsoft Word document into a contribution document, Word formatting and HTML tags are not stripped from the text.

DEF88018: You cannot create a new contribution document if the document definition for the document type does not include any contribution fields.
INT88649: Accent characters may display incorrectly when you apply hyperlinks to text in the content contribution editor. For example, accents on French language text in rich text fields may display incorrectly when you paste the text into the fields.
INT88650: Accent characters may display incorrectly when they are added to a content contribution file as part of default content. For example, accents on French language text in default content may display incorrectly.
INT88651: The HTML markup for links to external assets is generated incorrectly when you include them in the default content for rich text fields. For example, the following link: <a href="http://www.serena.com">Serena Software</a> will generate incorrectly if it is defined in the default content for a rich text field.
INT88652: From the Source view in the content contribution editor, ampersand characters (&) are replaced with "&," even when enclosed in <cmignore> tags.
INT88654: When you use the cmignore attribute within <img> tags, the <img> tags in the deployed files are generated incorrectly; the img and cmignore portions of the tags are both stripped out.
INT88655: When you paste text from Microsoft Word into a rich text field that is set to write XHTML, you will be unable to save the contribution document.
DEF88993: When you create a contribution document, if you include an apostrophe in the description, a Javascript error results and no new asset is created.
ENH89744: When you attempt to apply changes to a document definition file (DDF) using the Firefox browser on Macintosh clients, the following error appears: "Applet not found."
DEF90150: When you include special character entities such as ® in reusable content snippets, un-wanted additional characters appear after you insert the content snippet in a contribution document.
DEF92181: With the Firefox browser, if the Filter HTML option is enabled, font formatting (size, font, and color) in rich text fields are stripped out when you save a contribution document.
INT92310: When you edit a rich text field using the Firefox browser, un-wanted line break (<br>) tags are added.
INT88656: When saving a contribution document to XHTML, characters contained within <cmignore> tags are incorrectly encoded. For example, angle brackets (<) are converted to <.
DEF88720: Saving contribution documents to XHTML fails if the document includes a form that includes a <textarea> element.
DEF93730: When attempting to save changes to metadata while editing a contribution document, an error appears that a popup blocker has prevented Collage from opening a window. As a result, the changes to metadata fields are not changed, and you must use the Asset Properties dialog box to update metadata.
DEF92000: With MS SQL 2000, scheduled database backups do not start, and the Activities screen gives the message "Activity not started". Manually starting the backup is successful.
DEF73992: Deployment activity names do not change as expected when you select an asset or a folder.
DEF86125: Deployment hangs when performing an incremental deployment. This occurs when using Collage with Sybase.
DEF88216: The following error occurs during deployment: "Failed to retrieve blob from cache 6 or from database with key of..."
INT89961: Choosing the Delete directory contents before deploying option and then deploying specific assets or folders results in all files and folders except the ones you selected being deleted from the target server.
INT89963: Links to Zip files are not generated correctly during deployment. The links deploy with no filename, for example: <a href="../">Zip file</a>.
DEF90466: You cannot start a scheduled deployment activity that was originally created by a user who has since been deleted from Collage. The start time for the deployment is set to 12/31/69 and the Deploy screen gives the message "Activity not started".
INT91351: For a moment when deployment activities start, the start time is reported as 12/31/69. This is only a display problem and the deployment does run. This display problem has been fixed.
DEF92384: Every time you choose to deploy changed assets only, the same set of expired assets may be identified as having changed.
DEF88632: Deployment fails when you try to rename a directory using different case, when deploying to a case-insensitive target server. The following error occurs: "Path already exists."
INT89552: Even when the Delete obsolete files option is not selected, deployment activities still query for history on previously deployed files. This is an unnecessary query in this case, and negatively affects deployment performance.
DEF85042: Incremental deploy causes many lines in deploy log about a core dependecy.
DEF67108: When deploying a single asset, images referenced from the asset's master page do not deploy correctly.
DEF69919: When deploying a specific root deploy folder, any other root deploy folder that starts with the same name is generated and deployed as well. For example, if you deploy a root folder called "Website," a root folder called "Website2" will be deployed as well.
ENH85907: Add Firefox browser support for Collage Classic.
ENH90361: The Firefox 1.5 browser should be supported
DEF86311: Including ampersands (&) in folder names results in Javascript error when a user then clicks the folder.

You can now configure this by adding the following line to the nas.properties file. This line will force all users to enter a password to login:NASServlet.AllowBlankPasswords=false
INT91616: When logging in to Collage with LDAP as any user except Admin, the first login attempt fails. The second attempt succeeds. When this happens, the Tomcat log would show this error: "Bean: OpenProject: <project name> com.merant.ldap.LdapException".
DEF64876: You cannot update "Custom" type metadata fields for multiple assets at one time. When updating "Custom" metadata fields for multiple assets, the changes are not saved.
DEF67682: You cannot update "Asset" type metadata for multiple assets at one time. When updating "Asset" metadata fields for multiple assets, the changes are not saved.
