New features – OroPlatform

Release 2.6 of OroPlatform provided refinements of the existing features as well as numerous bug fixes and performance improvements.

Configuration search

We have improved and expanded system configuration search feature that has been introduced in 2.4 release.

• The search now includes text configuration values (e.g. email signatures)
• Fuzzy search (Fuse.js-based) allows you to find the desired config even if you made a typo
• Little improvements and tweaks of the search UI for better user experience

  Email notifications

  It is now possible to send email notifications to entity fields marked as emails. For example, you may set up a notification rule that will send an email to the author of contact request (using the Email Address field of the Contact request entity).

  Other features and improvements

• Event organizer is now shown at calendar events
• Unsafe tags are now stripped from email headers and bodies, improving email security without compromising email functionality and performance
• Websocket server subscriptions now require authorization via token (ticket)
• ID column is now included by default to all grid exports
• DoctrineBundle has been upgraded to 1.6.5
• PHP 7.0 is no longer supported; 7.1 is the minimum version required
• Error levels are now logged for integrations
• Query designer and segmentation components were refactored to make them independent from entity selector control

  Known issues

• System configuration cannot be changed after using the API
• Mass delete action is not available at grids when workflow step filter is enabled
• The latest kernel of Ubuntu (confirmed in 4.13.0-31) contains a bug which breaks Elasticsearch 2.x—please avoid this kernel version for Oro application servers.
