=Installing the patch=
To install this patch, please follow the following steps.
==SnAdmin folder and configuration==
Make sure that you have a complete [[SnAdmin#Executing_a_package|SnAdmin]] folder in your web folder and the configuration (connection string, paths of other web folders in [[How to configure Sense/Net in NLB|NLB system]]) is correct (especially for the ''SnAdminRuntime.exe'' tool in the ''Tools'' folder). Please read that article carefully about executing a package - for example when to stop and start the web site, how to configure the tool.

==Execute the package==
This patch contains the following package. You should copy it to the SnAdmin folder and execute it (the SnAdmin tool is inside the ''Admin\bin'' folder):
<source lang="text">
SnAdmin snent-patch-6.5.3.9137-6.5.4.9242
</source>
{{warning|It is highly advisable to make a complete backup before executing a patch to make sure that no information gets lost.}}
{{clear}}

==Copy task executors==
You will have to update task executor tools manually on [[Task_Management_-_for_Developers#Deploying_to_agent_machines|agent machines]]. Sense/Net ECM deploys the new versions of these tools into the ''web\TaskManagement\TaskExecutors'' folder. Please copy over all files/libraries (you may have to preserve or merge ''configuration files'' if you made any modifications).

==Check the results==
You can review the log files created for the execution or - after restarting the website - you may open the Version Info page accessible from the [[Root Console]] in [[Content Explorer]].

=Patch contents=
In this section we list all the important new features, bug fixes and breaking changes that were made in the product since the release of the previous patch. To check previous change logs, please visit the following article:
*[[Changelog]]

==Migration==
No migration is needed, but please be aware that due to the new [[SnTrace]] categories, we updated the ''Logging settings'' in this patch. If you did not use it, you do not have to do anything. But if you did, you will have to switch ''ON'' any trace categories manually that were switched on before.

==Features==
===Quick queries===
The most important feature of this release is [[Content_Query_API#Query_Speedup|query speedup]]. It allows developers and portal builders to construct queries that run a lot faster in an environment under heavy load (when a lots of users are creating new content). An there is another new mechanism that translates existing queries into SQL queries in the background (if possible) automatically to take off load from the web servers (Lucene index actually) and use SQL Server instead (which has way more resources in the current architecture).
* [[Content_Query_API#Query_Speedup|Query speedup]]
===Code cleanup===
It's time for a ''spring cleanup''! We started to remove unused and unnecessary parts of the codebase. As a result a couple of old projects (command line tools) have been completely removed from our solution. You do not have to worry about them, they were not supported or were obsolete for a long time and the patch removes them automatically. We will continue to remove obsolete APIs in the near future to reduce our ''build-time warnings to zero''. The goal is to have a high quality code base that can be measured and monitored using automatic tools in the build system.
* Deleted projects: ''Benchmark'', ''BenchmarkTool'', ''Chello'', ''ClusterMessageConsole'', ''ConcurrencyTester'', ''DigestEventNotifier'', ''IntegrityChecker''

==Breaking changes==
No known API breaking changes in this patch.

==Resolved bugs==
* Index populator loads index documents correctly and does not skip content items.
* Number field control in browse mode does not throw an exception if a textbox is not presented in the field control template.
* The user does not have to have permissions for the workspace when deleting something into the [[Trash]]. We will store the workspace id and path correctly, regardless of the user's permissions.
* Wall portlet 
** The portlet does not throw an exception if there is not enough permissions for the users displayed on the wall. The default avatar image is displayed instead.
** The portlet could not handle workspaces with a space in their names. Now it is possible to post on these kinds of workspaces.
** Document links are preserved correctly in wall posts.
* User grid
** Row selection for batch actions (Delete, Move) works correctly in the new user grid.
** User grid action back urls (New and other toolbar urls) will lead back to the original Explore page instead of the parent's browse page.
** The main checkbox in the grid header works the same way as in other grids: checks in and out all checkboxes in the grid.
* AD sync
** the separator is saved correctly in the property mappings section.
* OData
** Second sort statement is compiled to ''ThenBy'' instead of ''OrderBy'' LINQ method in ODataFormatter.

==Feature previews==
We are working on the next major version of Sense/Net ECM: '''SN7'''. We document the process on [http://blog.sensenet.com our blog]. These are just a few examples of the changes that we are making under the hood to prepare for that:
* New field control templates (and their corresponding REST APIs) are being created for our modern skins 
* We're working on a new JavaScript based survey editor. First alpha version of the scripts and the new content views can be found in the Global folder. Read more about the survey editor in the following blog post
