4.8.0

Enhancements have been made to Squiz Matrix's Automatic Upgrade Script to allow users to view the upgrade steps of specific versions of Matrix without requiring that particular instance.

Previously, users could use the --verbose parameter on the script to display a full list of upgrade steps from their current version to the version of Matrix indicated.

This enhancement introduces a new --show_steps parameter, which allows users to specify two versions of Matrix to view a full list of upgrade steps between them.

Usage of this script parameter is shown below. Please note that the database type (psql or oci) must be specified when using this parameter.

php matrix_upgrade.php --show_steps mysource_4-2-2 mysource_4-8-0 psql

php matrix_upgrade.php --show_steps mysource_4-2-2 mysource_4-8-0 oci

New Asset Workflow Keyword Replacements 

Additional asset workflow keyword replacements have been made available for use within Squiz Matrix. These are as follows:

  • %asset_workflow_applied_schemas%: the workflow schemas currently applied to the asset.
  • %asset_workflow_current_start_time:X%: the time the entire workflow process began, where X is the id of the workflow schema.
  • %asset_workflow_current_stream_name:X%: the name of the workflow stream currently running, where X is the id of the workflow schema.
  • %asset_workflow_current_step_condition_ids:X%: a comma-separated list of asset IDs of user/user group and/or role conditions on the current workflow step, where X is the id of the workflow schema.

Please note that the specification of the workflow schema ID in the above keywords is optional. If no schema id is set, the keyword will return the values of all schemas running on the asset.

These keyword replacements have been added to allow users to extract additional workflow information for their assets.  

Cache Globally: 404 Not Found Page of a Site 

A new setting has been added to the Details screen of Site assets to globally cache the 404 Not Found Page of the Site.

When this field is enabled, the Not Found Page specified on the Details screen will share a common cache entry everywhere it is used, irrespective of the URL.

Caching in these circumstances begins right before painting the page, meaning that all nested content and design areas will be included in the cache.

This option should be used on Sites where the configured Not Found Page is constant and not dynamically generated (URL-based). 

Cacheable Headers for Logged-In Users 

Previously, Squiz Matrix's Cache Manager allowed you to send cacheable headers for all public pages served to users who were not logged-in (public users), allowing the web browser to cache pages for faster browsing.

This feature introduces a new option on the Cache Manager to send cacheable headers for all users, regardless of whether they are public or not.

This option is accessed via new Public User Only options for Root URLs on the Cacheable Headers screen of the Cache Manager.

By default, this option is selected for all Root URLs. If this options is disabled, Squiz Matrix will send cacheable headers for pages served to logged-in users, as well as public users, on that URL.
