We are happy to announce the release of the new major version of our product – Shopsys Platform 13.0.0, formerly known as Shopsys Framework. Starting with this version, the name of the product has changed because of a great amount of essential changes.
Besides renaming to Shopsys Platform, Shopsys Framework is now merged into one product with its extended version (Shopsys Commerce Cloud). Thanks to that, there are a lot of new features included in this version. To name a few, there is GoPay payment gateway, advanced GTM integration, stocks and stores support, administrator roles and rights definitions, etc. The whole storefront part is reimplemented from scratch using the Javascript React NextJS framework. There are also changes in the license policy which are explained in detail in the separate article “Shopsys Framework is changing into Shopsys Platform”.
Every team that is going to upgrade their project to the new version now needs to decide whether they want to use the Javascript storefront or not. It is still possible to upgrade and keep using the former Twig storefront. We made just a few changes in the core shopsys/framework package in order to make such an upgrade as easy as possible. There are more options on how to upgrade, which are described in the upgrade notes.
What else is new in Shopsys Platform?
- Multidomain orders overview in administration (#2796) – an administrator can now easily list all orders from a particular domain using domain tabs.
- Displayed UUID (#2781) – an administrator now can see the UUID of all entities used in the frontend API, and can easily copy it into the clipboard, which makes the work with API easier.
- Domain-specifc Elasticsearch export (#2780) – it is now possible to update data in Elasticsearch just for a particular domain, it is not necessary to do so for all the domains at once anymore.
- More descriptive CRON overview (#2854) – a developer can set a custom human readable frequency description for each CRON module. The description is then displayed on the dashboard in the administration. This is handy when the automated frequency transcript is not sufficient.
- FE API optimization (#2830) – using class generation and autoloading of overblog/graphql-bundle classes slightly enhances the performance of the API
- Upgrade overblog/graphql-bundle to stable 1.0.0 version (#2787) – this package we use to develop the GraphQL Frontend API.
The features listed above are just highlights of the new version. You can check the whole change list on our GitHub. For more information about the new platform, you can visit Shopsys Platform web.
