Jahia 5.0 SP3 released
This 3rd Service Pack for the Jahia 5.0 release
is mainly a performance pack (please read
carefully the
<http://www.jahia.net/download/jahia5.0/stable/README_5.0.3_01.html>Readme
file and the new
<http://www.jahia.net/jahia/webdav/site/jahia_net/shared/Documentation/5.0.3/Jahia5_Performance_Guide_SP3.pdf>Performance
Guide) It also include a few generic development
sponsorized by certain customers. We strongly
recommend to all Jahia 5 customers to migrate to
Jahia 5.0.3 (SP3) as it corrects hundreds of issues.
Important information for Jahia developers:
Starting from the SP3, the trunk SVN branch will
become the stable branch. Until the SP3, Jahia
had two main active branch (Head and SP
branches). Starting from the SP3, all new major
enhancements will be developed in distinct
branches and the HEAD branch will become the
stable one. The old SP branch will become an
archive. Please modify your IDE environment accordingly.
New features and bugfixes in Jahia 5.0.3
The following performance improvements are part of Jahia 5.0.3 :
Performance (Please read carefully the new
<http://www.jahia.net/jahia/webdav/site/jahia_net/shared/Documentation/5.0.3/Jahia5_Performance_Guide_SP3.pdf>Performance
Guide)
Dozens of performance optimizations are included
in this SP3 release. Page rendering in live and
edit modes have been significantly optimized.
Such changes also include the refactoring of the
permission and workflow state systems. It also
included several code synchronizations
optimizations. Please check the

log file for more details.
ESI
We add a new mode for ESI that caches fragments
only in live mode and invalidates them using a
time-based rules instead of having to send
invalidation messages coming from the back-end Jahia servers.
Indexation
We added new options in order to delay
(re)indexation of the jahia content objects to a
given hour (e.g. midnight). New options are
available in order to immediately index certain
content objects and to delay other indexation
tasks to a later time. The system administrator
can also now setup the system in order to delay
to a later time the indexation of attached binary
files (e.g. PDF or Word documents) while directly
indexing the rest of the content object.
If you want to customize this feature, you should
check the
<http://www.jahia.net/jahia/webdav/site/jahia_net/shared/Documentation/5.0.3/Jahia5_Performance_Guide_SP3.pdf>performance
fine tuning guide (Jahia Tuning section) available as part of this release.
The SP3 includes the following new features :
Default Templates
Starting from this release the number of
templates included in the default Corporate
Portal Templates v1 and v2 has been reduced to
the strict minimum when installing Jahia. In
previous versions many templates where given for
demonstration purpose only or to help developers
understand Jahia templating mechanisms and
capabilities. Those templates werent designed
for an immediate use in production on heavy
loaded websites or werent stable enough.
Nevertheless in too many Jahia live websites
weve discovered those templates used without any optimization or change.
To avoid that kind of temptation, weve decided
to put most templates available on our website in
our <http://www.jahia.net/templates>Template
Repository with notes and warnings. The Template
Repository will centralize all extra templates
which will evolve independently from Jahia
releases. Pay attention to template notes and
compatibility before downloading and using them.
Please note that you can also install additional
home made or third party portlets which are all
available in our <http://www.jahia.net/portlets>Portlets Repository .
Password Security Module (Courtesy of Vodafone)
We added a new module to give to the
administrator the opportunity to manage users
passwords with some standard security policies.

Quick-Edit option NStep workflow enhancement
(Courtesy of Ministère des Finances)
We extended the Jahia N-Step workflow in order to
let authors quickly edit and update content on a
page in any workflow step. Such a feature allows
content administrators to make some corrections
on the content before publishing it without
needing to reset and restart from the beginning
the full workflow. You could find all the details

New role for immediate publication (Courtesy of Ministère des Finances)
Currently any editors with some publication
rights can decide to launch an automatic site
export with the embedded replication
functionality at the last step of a Nstep workflow.
We added a new role in order to restrict such a
feature to a certain group of limited users. You

specification below (in French):
