November 26, 2024

EPiServer.CloudPlatform.Cms 1.6.3

Enhancement

  • Added the ability to configure the unload event in the Application Insights JavaScript SDK.

    The unload event used by the Application Insight JS SDK was considered deprecated by Chrome. (Unload event listeners are deprecated and will be removed.) It also caused a warning in the Google Lighthouse speed test and might affect a customer's site score.

    You can disable the hook to the unload event when you initialize the Application Insights JavaScript SDK in the Cloudplatform package. To avoid breaking changes in product behavior, the unload event is enabled by default.

    Disabling the "unload" event might cause issues with older browsers.

    See Disable unload event in Consumption Metrics.

EPiServer.CloudPlatform.Cms 1.6.2

Bug fix

  • CMS-35440 – A security update is available for a cloud-referenced Azure Identity SDK.

EPiServer.Azure 11.2.0

Enhancements

  • Added support for user-managed identity for storage account authentication by removing access key from the storage account connection string. If user-managed identity is not defined, the fallback uses the storage account connection string.
  • Added support for user-managed identity for service bus authentication by removing the access key from the service bus connection string. If user-managed identity is not defined, the fallback uses the service bus connection string.

Bug fixes

  • CMS-34853 – Fixed an issue that throttled the service bus client, delaying messages by 10 seconds and piling them up.

EPiServer.CloudPlatform.Cms 1.6.1

Bug fix

  • CMS-32975 – Fixed an issue where warmup failed for a site page with a mailto link.

February 27, 2024

EPiServer.CloudPlatform.Cms 1.6.0

Bug fixes

  • CMS-31737 – Fixed an issue where the health check failed with InvalidOperationException. 
  • CMS-32426 – The minimum required version for Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.Profiler.AspNetCore dependency in EPiServer.CloudPlatform.Cms is increased to 2.6.0 so that the following bug no longer occurs: https://github.com/microsoft/ApplicationInsights-Profiler-AspNetCore/issues/202
  • CMS-32219 – Fixed an issue where Warmup had a default value of MaxNumberParallelRequests set to 50, which in turn configured the HttpClient used by Warmup to set MaxConnectionsPerServer to 50. This value is too large and may cause thread starvation issues. Now, this value is set to 10, and you can customize the idle timeout of connections used during warmup.
  • CMS-32509 – Fixed an issue where Microsoft.Extensions.Diagnostics.HealthChecks version was deprecated and added a lot of logs inside application insights. Now, the minor version of the Microsoft.Extensions.Diagnostics.HealthChecks is changed to 3.1.

EPiServer.CloudPlatform.Cms 1.5.0

Enhancement

  • Added an option to disable two cookies automatically added by Application Insights for a site visitor. Sites running on Optimizely DXP service have Application Insights enabled. Disabling the two cookies ensures that customers are GPDR compliant. Disabling the cookies stops some user tracking in Application Insights, but Page View Tracking functions normally.
