Release Notes

SmartStore.NET 3.1.0

Breaking changes

Message template customizations are lost due to the new template engine. You have to customize the templates again. No automatic migration, sorry :-(
Amazon Pay: The plugin has been changed to new Login and pay 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

New Liquid based template engine
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.
MegaMenu shrinker and Brands virtual menu item
Address formatting templates by country
Connection to translate.smartstore.com. For available languages, localized resources can be downloaded and installed directly.
Amazon Pay:
- Supports merchants registered in the USA and Japan
- External authentication via Login with Amazon button in shop frontend
- Several improvements through the new Login and pay with Amazon services
