Broadleaf 3.1.8-GA

This is the 8th release in the 3.1 line of Broadleaf and we recommend updating to this release immediately. Some of the notable changes in this release:

• Functional testing with Geb and Spock - check out the new broadleaf-admin-functional-tests module on GitHub. We have started doing some functional test prototyping in the admin with Geb and see it as a big improvement over Selenium. Stay tuned as we continue to improve these Geb page objects and talk about how we are using them!
• Adding a transient key-value map to Customer to hold session-based state
• Ensure that sessions are not created when the system is configured to not use them
• Fix an issue from 3.1.2-GA which caused product attributes to always fail validation in the admin
• Allow for the configuration of Customer-based offers to be automatically considered in the system

This release contains all fixes in the 3.0 line up to and including 3.0.13 GA.
