Note: this is an English-only release. Translations will come in the next release.
Clustering changes: re-architected clustering code to scale much better when using more than two nodes. Both read and write throughput under clustering has been increased significantly as well. Because these changes were non-trivial, customers using clustering should test this release in their environment before deploying.
Improvement: Work was done to improve the performance of the Oracle upgrade scripts. Also, there is now a common set of scripts for all Oracle versions (before 8i was handled differently). Finally, improvements were made to the upgrade scripts' documentation.
Improvement: Oracle OCI drivers now work with Jive Forums. The fix was to always force READ_COMMITTED for the transaction isolation level in the internal Jive Forums database connection provider. (Note, if you're using a JNDI connection provider or some other connection pool and using the OCI drivers, this isolation level must be set.) [FORUMS-1583]
Improvement: The RSS feeds have been updated to each have a unique title (before each one was just "Jive Forums RSS Feed"). Most RSS readers use the title to show the feed to the user so it was necessary to make them unique. New i18n tags have been added for parts of the title (see the rss.* keys). [FORUMS-1517]
Improvement: Cross-posting can now be disabled for NNTP. [FORUMS-1520]
Improvement: Fixed issues relating to various content type postings in the NNTP server. [FORUMS-1183]
Improvement: Tweaked the UI on the cache page when multiple nodes show up (Enterprise & Expert only). [FORUMS-1627]
Improvement: Added ability to override the reports url prefix with the jive property stats.reportsURL [FORUMS-1611]
Improvement: Events are now fired when jive properties are modified. [FORUMS-1574]

Bug: Fixed bug that prevented thread read stats from being persisted to the database. This didn't affect reports in the past because there were no reports that took advantage of specific thread read stats (note, this is different than view counts which work fine). [FORUMS-1610]
Bug: Fixed issue with clearing a cache in a cluster where all caches were cleared, not just the indicated cache. [FORUMS-1603]

Bug: Fixed problem preventing some attachment content types from being resolved correctly. [FORUMS-1541]
Bug: Fixed bug in the RSS mappings for the migration servlet (a servlet which converts old JF 2.x/3.x URLs to 4.x ones). The mappings for the RSS feeds were incorrect. [FORUMS-1597]
Bug: Fixed bug which caused long referer or user-agent values to fail to insert into the database (longer than 255 characters). Long values are now automatically trimmed. [FORUMS-1579]

Added Spanish translation (thanks Gaston Dombiak) [FORUMS-1227]
Fixed bug causing the NNTP server to chop large NNTP headers. [FORUMS-1180]
I18n fixes for users of MySQL 4.1. In order for character encodings to work correctly, forum administrators will need to specify the encoding in two places.

Default skin now fully i18n'd. Removed all remaining strings into the properties bundle. Those wishing to do translations should read the i18n guide. [FORUM-1269]
Added DB2 upgrade script for upgrading from 3.2.x to 4.0. Also fixed minor syntax errors in main DB2 script. [FORUM-1272] [FORUM-1303]
Admin alternative login flag is now a local property. If you had a database property of "admin.tryAlternativeLogin" you'll need to copy that value to the jive_startup.xml file in the jiveHome directory. Until then, the admin console login will not likely work. [FORUM-1312]
Fixed issue with upgrade script not copying over forum level filters, interceptors and archiving policies. For users who went through the upgrade process in 4.0.1 it's recommended you simply reinstall old filters and interceptors you had (the definitions of which will be in an archived directory in the jiveHome directory). [FORUM-1318]
Fixed bug with newer versions of Oracle and saving blank strings (Oracle treats them as NULL). [FORUM-1333]
Category/Forum box on search form showed incorrect forums in the root category. [FORUM-1343]

4.0.1 - November 1, 2004

Upgrade script is now available for upgrading from older 3.x installations. SQL scripts are provided for the major databases: MySQL, Oracle 8+, Postgres, and SQLServer. DB2 support will be coming in a future release. Please read the upgrade instructions provided in the documentation with this release. [FORUM-1206]
Increased performance on MySQL by optimizing some commonly slow queries on that database. Note: This optimization requires that the Jive defined database indexes exist on the jiveThread and jiveMessage tables. If you have upgraded from older releases or have modified the database schema you should verify your schema is identical for those tables to what is defined in the jive_forums_mysql.sql database file. [FORUM-1206]
Added more documentation of the xwork-custom-actions.xml file, fixed invalid syntax of sample custom actions file. Also, note: a file "xwork-custom-actions.xml" must be in your WEB-INF/classes dir from now on. Prior to 4.0.1 this file was part of the jiveforums.jar and has since been moved out of the jar and into the classes directory for easier editing. If you're deploying 4.0.1 as a WAR then that file will be copied automatically. Otherwise, please copy the file or an error will result the first time you load the webapp. FORUMS-1210
Improved the performance of view counts by reducing DB lookups. Also fixed case where the count would be reset in memory to zero after a restart. FORUMS-1245

Updated the HTML text extractor to fix an issue with a possible StackOverflowError when the "Filter HTML from Messages" option was set to "Yes" in the Search Settings admin panel. [FORUMS-1082]
Updated Profanity filter to work across html tags. This solves the issue where text such as test would not be filtered if 'test' was listed as a profanity. [FORUMS-956]
Fixed null pointer exception in RSS pages if no parameters were passed in. FORUMS-1216
Fixed bug on user settings page which prevented the user from saving settings when the admin has "users choose thread mode" option off. FORUMS-1255
Fixed cases where the "Create Account" button would fail when clicked on the login page. FORUMS-1240
Fixed JSP compile errors and warnings under JDK 1.5. FORUMS-1229
