5.2.3

2020-08-31

Bug fixes

Change the owner of an entity will generate a duplicate “indexLog” entry (#4450).
Note: db migrate is needed to remove the already existing duplicate entries in t_indexlog. The migration is considered as optional since this issue doesn’t cause any problem functionally. It only affects the performance of ACL reindex. You can choose when to run db migrate, and the duplicate entries won’t be removed until then.

Mimetype missing on new shape versions (#4514).
The output file of a “m4a” shape tag should have “m4a” as file extension (#4504).

Possible OOM when updating metadata referenced in many places (#4484).
Glacier file with special character in name stops storage scan (#4472).
Too many parameter error in SQL query from DB cleanup (#4438).

Export with both tag and interval ignores the tag (#4156).
Removed child collection is still available from parent collection search (#4404)
