Released on Jan 10, 2024

This is the initial release for the Broadleaf Enterprise 5.0.x module. This module requires Broadleaf Framework 7.0.0-GA or greater.

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

Removed deprecated Thymeleaf tags and processors and replaced them with new/updated tags and processors.
Fixed the issue with preview functionality which required persisting the newly created security context between requests, because of spring security changes.
Fixed various queries because hibernate 6 does query validation in more strict manner.
Fixed the hibernate proxy in SandBoxHelperImpl.
Fixed various issues with Workflow Audit section in the Admin.
Added EnterpriseAdminSkuCustomPersistenceExtensionHandler to fix issues with propagation of changes between catalogs.

Updated module with Broadleaf Framework 7.0.x
Migrated from Java EE to Jakarta EE
Updated annotations like @Index and @GenericGenerator
Deleted weave logic for using default sku in inventory and integrated the feature in the codebase. Property enable.weave.use.default.sku.inventory is no longer used.
Refactored exception handling. Created a separate AdminWorkflowExceptionHandler class to handle exceptions in one place and WorkflowValidationException for validation failures. Moved all workflow exceptions to new 'exception' package
Refactored InventoryPropertiesPostEventHandler class.
Removed the usage of isfeaturedproduct due to its removal from ProductImpl.
Added a workaround in PostLoaderDaoImpl to avoid a possible stackoverflow because of a hibernate bug.
