Previously our AB Testing feature supported multivariate testing. With the addition of multiple variants, the time to completion and the calculations required would increase exponentially. This caused many issues for our customers. As such we have decided to pare back this functionality to provide a higher quality experience for our users. Now our AB Testing feature only supports 1 variant, in addition to the control. This makes our feature truly an AB Test rather than a Multivariate Test. There is the possibility of re-enabling multivariate testing in the future, but that will depend on the needs from our customers.
Release Notes
This section contains information about breaking changes in out-of-the-box DXP features and capabilities. For breaking changes or internal code, please check this link.
We changed the default configuration such that if a Menu Display widget is placed on a Page Template, the default configuration for it will be "Pages Hierarchy" (unless there are no Pages at all on the Site). It will display as "Pages Hierarchy" even if Private Pages are enabled. If Private Pages are enabled, an alert will appear on the Page Template letting the user know that the Menu Display may appear different if the inherited page has the opposite privateLayout value to the menu currently being rendered.
When a Page inherits this Page Template, the alert message does not display on the Page, and the Navigation Menu will be configured for either Public Pages Hierarchy or Private Pages Hierarchy depending on whether the page is public.
Current options in System Settings > Documents and Media > Cache Control are:
- Public
- Private
And Private is the default option.
From now on, we are adding a new option No Cache that will allow configure this option to “private, no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate" and it will be used as default value, so it changes current default behavior:
With the upgrade of the client libraries, the minimum compatible Elasticsearch minor version shits to 7.17.x.
When the server is lower than the expected version, the DXP won't start-up, but fail with an error in the DXP console:
10-22 10:45:22.619 ERROR [main][ElasticsearchSearchEngine:375] Elasticsearch node es-node-1 does not meet the minimum version requirement of 7.17
The self bootstraping style *SearchRegistrar has been changed to service collecting of ModelSearchConfigurator.
Indexer registration code for custom entities has to be adjusted to become an OSGi service of type ModelSearchConfiguratorand to move all previous ModelSearchConfigurator setter call parameter as corresponding ModelSearchConfigurator getter return value.
