• Smartsite 7.11 build 3
• Smartsite 7.11 (build 2, build 3) Enterprise Search Addons

Important Note!

• If you upgrade from Smartsite 7.1 or earlier, you must get a new license file from Seneca if you are currently using Hasp!
• Before you upgrade to Smartsite 7.4, you must convert your database to use nvarchar instead of varchar. Scripts are provided to perform this conversion, but it may take some time to convert the database and it may involve some manual steps. We recommend that you test this step in a test environment before applying it in production.
• Before you upgrade from Smartsite 7.4 or earlier, you must install .Net 4.5.2 on your server. We highly recommend that you install .Net 4.6.1 or later.

Fixes build 3

• Due to a change in the workflow handling, scheduled activation for content items didn't function properly anymore. This has been fixed.
• The same applies for the bulk update (content items) action. This has been fixed as well.
• Editing an Asset Item did cause an exception "Value can not be null. Parameter name: wwwPath".
• The Web crawler of the Enterprise Search provider has been optimized to limit the number of TCP connections.

• Publication
  • The Smartsite Client Framework (Scf) has been upgraded to the current jQuery version 3.5.1.
    The new version is deployed in a new folder Scf3, which is now the default TargetFolder of the SCF macro. The target folder can be set in both the macro call and the smartsite.config. These settings will not be updated automatically by the Smartsite 7.11 setup.
  • Links to reference items are now rendered as links to the referenced URL directly in the page. In earlier versions the link would point to the reference item, which would then redirect the browser to the actual URL.
