Important Updates

New Features & Notable Changes

  • Introduced support for Product Characteristics and Product Terms.

  • Introduced support for recurring and usage pricing concepts.

    • Primarily this looks like being able to include characteristics marked as targetableForPricing and product terms in PriceableTarget payloads.

  • Includes a number of enhancements around product detail hydration.

    • Introduced ability to fully hydrate Products in Search Requests—not just pricing, assets, or tags. This behavior is controlled by a parameter on the Catalog Search request: hydrateFully. False by default.

    • Introduced ability to minimize the payload size for Assets so that they don’t include the ContextState, which is not valuable in a commerce scenario. Controlled by broadleaf.catalogbrowse.catalogprovider.asset-minification-enabled, which is true by default.

    • Added the ability to pass RSQL filters to filter the assets or tags fetched when hydrating them onto Search Results using the assetFilters and tagFilters params.

  • Introduced support for Recommendation Engine Services via Browse Content.
