Release date: May 10, 2018

Overview

This is the 4th patch release for Broadleaf Framework 5.2.x. To upgrade a 5.2.x application to the 5.2.4-GA release, it should only require updating the parent pom.xml broadleaf-boot-starter-parent to 5.2.4-GA.

New and Noteworthy

With three different Product Types, Admin menu has options to view each types Products, Bundles, Add-on Products. To add ability to view all the types in single window All Products has been added in Admin menu.
All Products includes all types of products. The traditional regular Products has been renamed to Base Products. In Order to view the All Products option setup following permissions in database:

INSERT INTO BLC_ADMIN_SECTION (ADMIN_SECTION_ID, DISPLAY_ORDER, ADMIN_MODULE_ID, NAME, SECTION_KEY, URL, CEILING_ENTITY)
VALUES (-2, 3000, -1, 'All Products', 'All Products', '/product', 'org.broadleafcommerce.core.catalog.domain.Product');

Update Spring Boot

Spring was updated to 4.3.16

SearchFacetValueWrapper/SearchFacetResultDTO getValueKey() method

An enhancement has been made to how the valueKey is returned from the SearchFacetResultDTO. The value returned is a URL. In previous releases the raw value was returned. Starting in 5.2.4-GA, the value returned will be an UTF-8 encoded URL. For backward compatibiity, a method getUnencodedValueKey() has been added to support retieving the raw valueKey, if needed.
