A number of bugfixes have been applied as part of this release. Separate notes are generated for each maintenance patch. Refer to the entire set of 11.0 release and maintenance patch notes prior to installing or upgrading.
Object ID showing as a link in a BGP notification
A setback, when a background process (BGP) ID was not a link, was fixed. A fix was designed this way so that if an alert (notification) contains a node ID, it will become a link. So, now every node ID in the alert is treated as a link. Users are likely unable to reproduce the problem on earlier STEP versions as the setback may have appeared 'in between' - after merging feature branch changes to trunk code when preparing for the 10.1 release.
Password fix
A security fix has been made so that user passwords are more secure.
REST Extension API plugin fix for mTLS
Previously, the REST Extension API plugin did not work with mTLS. This has been fixed so that mutual authentication works with the REST Extension API plugin.
Security fix for CSRF tokens
A security fix has been made to CSRF tokens.
Data container type fix for manually sorted attribute groups
Now, a data container type can be created in a manually sorted attribute group.
Business condition user-facing message fix
Business condition user-facing messages will no longer include a full report of all evaluated business conditions. Only the failed business condition will be shown to the user.

Added behavior for the Web UI alert box so that it will move with the window when resized and keep being at the horizontal center of the screen.

When importing multiple GDSN files with different target markets having different dimensions, attributes would not always receive updates in all dimensions. This has been fixed. A hotfix for this solution is also available for gdsn2-receiver-7.0.62 and gdsn2-receiver-7.0.63.
Fix for PDX inbound BGP not getting auto cleared
Fixed an issue when the connection to PDX was terminated before all data was received by the inbound connector, and therefore the BGP was stuck.

ISSUE-500353 - Fix for logger.severe() causing business rule to abort
Calling logger.server("message") in a JavaScript Business Action should not cause a rollback of a transaction on the node that was being worked on in a bulk update. This has now been fixed, so it will not cause a rollback. If a business action is not supposed to be applied to a node in a bulk update, it should be handled by returning false in the configured business condition. If something unexpected happened during the execution of the action that necessitated a rollback, it will still be achieved by throwing an exception from the business action.

The problem was found during import of STEPXML. If the STEPXML contained the tag <Products RejectNewProducts="true"> and a product with a bad key was found, then an error message was written in the BGP log that it was not possible to create the product.
The solution has been to handle bad keys in the same way as bad IDs are handled. Two lines are written in the BGP for the product:
Example keys:
{code:java}
Line 7, Product 2: The new product with unique key 'A_SKU2' was rejected
Line 7, Product 2: The product with unique key 'A_SKU2' was skipped
{code}

Line 6, Product 2: The product with ID 'AcmeID2' was skipped
{code}
