Release Notes for Mindbreeze InSpire

Version 20.2

Extended Connectors

Web Connector with Sitemap Streaming Performance Optimization

The processing of large sitemaps in the Web Connector has been significantly improved.

The Stream Sitemap parser has been optimized, so now especially sitemaps larger than 1GB can be read in quickly and efficiently.

To benefit from this improvement, make sure that you enable the "Use Stream Sitemap Parser" setting in your configuration:

Configuration: Configuration Web Connector

Confluence Sitemap Generator Optimization

The Confluence connector has been reworked in this version to allow fast indexing in large Confluence installations without burdening the data source.

This is possible by remodelling the Confluence permission model in the InSpire Index and the Principal Resolution Service.

This optimization is automatically active after all components have been updated. For details see:

Configuration Atlassian Confluence Connector sowie Atlassian Confluence Sitemap Generator Add On

Novell Trustee support for Microsoft File Connector

The Microsoft File Connector now supports ACLs based on Novell File System Trustee information when using Novel Open Enterprise Server.

Configuration see: Configuration Microsoft File Connector

Jira connector

The Jira connector now supports indexing of public Jira instances.
For this, the REST interface of the instance must be available without authentication.

Configuration see: Documentation Jira Connector.
