Performance enhancements to prevent any problems during editing operations such as deleting larger branches of concepts in Thesaurus tree on the UI or editing concept details using the API.

Spring Core updated to version 5.3.27 to address CVE-2023-20863 (A06:2021 – Vulnerable and Outdated Components)

Upgrade to Tomcat 9.0.75 to address two security vulnerabilities  CVE-2023-24998 and CVE-2023-28709 (A06:2021 – Vulnerable and Outdated Components)

Upgrade to Velocity 2.3 to address CVE-2020-13936 (A06:2021 – Vulnerable and Outdated Components).

Update of the Velocity template engine.

The Velocity Engine has been updated from version 1.6.2 to version 2.3. Velocity Tools have also been updated from version 2.0 to version 3.1. This may affect the reporting functionality in PoolParty and rendering on the Linked Data Frontend (Configuring Linked Data Frontend as well as Linked Data Frontend Template).

ListTools has been largely obsolete as Velocity 2.3 allows all List methods to be called on arrays within templates. Should you use a customized template $tools.lists it has to be refactored to directly call the respective method on the list.

For instance, a template code like:

$tools.lists.contains($list, $element)

must be refactored to

$list.contain($element)

The same applies to other methods available in ListTools such as $tools.lists.size, $tools.lists.get, $tools.lists.isEmpty, etc. We recommend consulting the Velocity documentation for more details.
