Release Notes

SmartStore.NET 3.1.0

Breaking changes

  • AmazonPay: The plugin has been changed to new "Login with Amazon" services. A registration at Amazon and new access data are necessary for its use. The old access data can no longer be used.
  • (Dev) Calls to cache methods Keys() and RemoveByPattern() require glob chars to be present now (supported glob-styles see https://redis.io/commands/keys). Previously these methods appended * to the passed pattern, which made pattern matching rather unflexible.
  • (Dev) Hook framework now passes IHookedEntity interface instead of HookedEntity class
  • (Dev) Completely removed all EntityInserted<T>, EntityUpdated<T> and EntityDeleted<T> legacy events. We were using DbSaveHooks anyway, which provides a much more powerful and way faster pub-sub mechanism for database operations.

Highlights

  • Multi-configurable rounding of order total ("cash rounding"). Can be adjusted and activated separately for each currency and payment method.
  • (Perf) Picture service: new processing and caching strategy! Thumbnails are not created synchronously during the main request anymore, instead a new middleware route defers processing until an image is actually requested by any client.
