BloomReach Experience Manager V13.1.2 Release Notes
May 20th, 2019
The new maintenance release 13.1.2 is available for general use for our customers and partners. This release includes bug fixes and improvements in core, enterprise and plugin artifacts.
The new versions of these module artifacts have been made available earlier and are now bundled up in this maintenance release. If your project uses such newer artifact versions via project pom overrides, please remove them before starting the upgrade procedure.
We encourage all projects to remain on the regular maintenance release. Using a tagged artifact that is not yet part of a maintenance release should only be done if there is a specific reason and only after testing in your specific project setup.
Important upgrade notice (brXM and brXM Developer Edition)
A potentially critical problem was recently discovered when upgrading from v12 to v13 under specific conditions, which may lead to incorrect (partly reverted) node type changes.
The problem (REPO-2196 [1]) has been fixed in v13.2.0, and backported to the maintenance release v13.1.2, and includes repairing possible inconsistent node type definitions.
Customers that have already upgraded from v12 to a v13.0.x or v13.1.x version MUST upgrade to one of these latest releases at their earliest opportunity to mitigate this issue. Customers planning to upgrade from v12 also MUST target at least release v13.1.2 and preferably v13.2.0.
