Admin Metadata Release Notes for 1.8.6-GA

Important

Admin Metadata is in a mono-repo with Admin User and Admin Navigation Services, so it gets versioned along with them even if it doesn’t have any changes itself. Hence, you will see a jump from 1.7.6 to 1.8.6 like this.

Requirements

JDK 11 is required for Broadleaf release trains 1.7.0-GA, and beyond.
JDK 17 is supported for Broadleaf release trains 1.8.1-GA, and beyond.

New Features & Notable Changes

Added changes to support seed data for the Broadleaf Starter (a Spring Boot Initializr style project for Broadleaf).
Added validation of metadata augmentations (form customizations made in the admin) stored by this service.
- Before this only happened in the frontend.
