OroPlatform: What’s New in 2.2
Workflow capabilities
Here’s a list of the improved workflow capabilities:
- Due to the new operations parameter, workflow actions can be performed without unnecessary page or grid refreshing;
- Modifying an activated workflow is not allowed to ensure other users’ routines based on the same workflow are not affected.
- Performance of `WorkflowItemListener` component has been optimized to minimize up to 35% of job execution time (e.g. for IMAP sync and similar);
- Import already existing workflow configurations to a new workflow has been enabled;
- Transition form can be rendered with layouts to save custom styles and other customizations when displayed at the front-end.
Localizations and translations
The following performance improvements have been implemented for localization and translation functionalities:
- Admin users can easily reset translations to their default values with a grid action;
- In the workflow configuration, developers can mark workflow buttons as translatable allowing admin users to edit button translations in the workflow management UI;
- When available, Crowdin translations can be downloaded for a certain locale during installation.
Other fixes and improvements
- Entity management: unidirectional relations with non-extendable inverse side can now be created via UI;
- Memory based cache decorator for the application has been deployed for a better cache performance;
- CommonJS format is now supported in requirejsExposure;
- New complex index by `object_id`, `object_class`, `type` has been added to the DataAudit table for a better performance.
