BroadleafCommercePrivate - 5.1.1-GA

Released on February 17, 2017

This is the 1st patch release for Broadleaf Framework 5.1.x. This release contains a combination of bug fixes and some enhancements.

NOTE: If your project uses an Oracle Database, you will need to upgrade directly to 5.1.2-GA

Noteworthy Changes

Side by Side Fields in Admin

New with this release is the ability to associate fields in the admin and have them appear side-by-side. This can be achieved by adding the annotation associatedFieldName to a field. For example, by adding associatedFieldName = "weightUnitOfMeasure" to the weight field in Weight.java, the weightUnitOfMeasure field will not appear along side (or side-by-side) with the weight field in the admin.

An at-a-glance view of the issues that were closed in this release:

Minor Bugs(12)

  • Fixed an admin issue in listGrid.js/.css causing Category names to auto hide in Firefox
  • Fixed issue where clicking on the hints icon in the admin resulted in a blank page

  • Removed the bootstrapcdn reference to font-awesome.min.css
