As previously reported, an issue with the sitemap and pagegroup settings was identified during the testing phase.

This issue has now been resolved and we are happy to provide you with the hotfix build 5.2.250609.

During the testing period since the DEV/QA patchday last week we discovered an issue with the sitemap and pagegroup settings. 

(!) Therefore, we recommend to not use the version FS 2025.6 (5.2.250608)  but the version with the hot fix 5.2.250609 to avoid any risks. 

The issue leads to the situation that the “Show in Sitemap" and "Show in page group"  setting always evaluates to “true” (visible) even if the persistence is set to “false” (hidden). 

That leads to multiple impacts: 

• API usage always returns “true” 
  • #getShowInPageGroup() 
  • #getShowInSiteMap() 

• Editing of a page reference (SiteStore) in the UI of the clients (SiteArchitect, ContentCreator) changes persistence 

• Generation usages: A page reference (SiteStore) which is marked as hidden in “sitemap” or “pagegroup” will be visible during the generation either way. 

The root cause of the issue has been identified and a hotfix version has been created 5.2.250609  

We appreciate your patience and understanding. If you have questions or issues, please submit them at https://support.crownpeak.com or via mail to support@crownpeak.com

As previously reported, an issue with the FirstSpirit release API was identified during the testing phase.

This issue has now been resolved and we are happy to provide you with the hotfix build 5.2.250103.

You need a personal login to access the download folder. Please contact our Technical Support if you do not have a personal login.

During the testing period since the DEV/QA patchday last week we discovered an issue with the release API of FirstSpirit that could affect the release process of FirstSpirit.

Therefore, we have decided to revoke the current version FS 2025.1 (5.2.250102) to avoid any risks.

We are currently investigating the issue and will provide a new FS 2025.1 as well as updates as soon as possible.

We appreciate your patience and understanding. If you have questions or issues, please submit them at https://support.crownpeak.com or via mail to support@crownpeak.com
