SilverStripe released its second update to the 2.4 codebase. SilverStripe 2.4.2 addresses two potential security vulnerabilities and a number of additional bug fixes. However, this version also contains some improvements also worth mentioning.
SilverStripe 2.4.2 contains some significant improvements for supporting SilverStripe on Windows.
SilverStripe 2.4.2 offers increased confidence over past versions for running our software on Windows OS when using SQL Server as the database. Previously, you had to run SilverStripe on Linux for all unit tests to pass. As a result of fixing bugs and unit tests, all SilverStripe unit tests now pass when running on Windows. The work includes fixing full-text search for the SQL Server database module, fixing windows file path issues along with numerous other bug fixes for the Windows platform done in 2.4.0 and 2.4.1.
Additional improvements in SilverStripe 2.4.2 include:
Other minor improvements
- Allows Apache to provide better error pages
- Improved unit testing reports
- Fixed the installer logic for SQLite database
SilverStripe 2.4.x is the recommended version of SilverStripe CMS to use on production websites. The latest version of SilverStripe can be downloaded from SilverStipe.org.
