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

Minor Bugs(2)

  • Not assign IDs to anonymous customers because it's possible to hit deadlocks when the system gets overwhelmed by huge traffic of anonymous customers.
  • Removed the ID from the entity-form submitted to the backend controllers since Spring wants to use the ID path variable to initialize that value instead.

Enhancements(1)

  • Renamed "Search Fields" to "Indexed Fields" on the side menu.

Features(2)

  • Added support for a default locale for the Sites.
  • Refactored entity cache regions for better performance tuning.
