20231102 - Easier and Better Page Synchronization and the Delivery API 2.0 Beta Nears Completion
Synchronize and publish pages with one button click, include page-specific component content in page synchronization, and test many new features and improvements in the Delivery API 2.0 Open Beta!
Holiday Freeze
Please note that Bloomreach will have an active holiday freeze from November 14th, 2023 until January 23rd, 2024 during which no new releases will be deployed to customer environments in order to decrease any risks of unforeseen incidents.
The last Content release to be deployed before the freeze is 20231102. The next release to be deployed after the freeze is expected to be 20240110 and will contain all changes introduced after the 20231102 release.
🎉 New Features
-
Page-specific components now have an Update content on page sync checkbox to indicate their content should be updated when synchronizing pages between translated channels:
-
You can now synchronize and publish pages with a single button click in the Synchronize translated pages dialog in the Experience manager:
-
The page synchronization feature is now out of beta.
🚀 Improvements
- We made many improvements to the Delivery API 2.0 Beta response format and we expect it to be stable until the release.
- We now provide an OpenAPI specification for the Delivery API 2.0 Beta and will be publishing the interactive API reference in the next few week.
- An OpenAPI specification for your content types is now automatically generated at runtime.
Please note the Delivery API 2.0 is still in beta test phase and should not be used in production scenarios.
We will be publishing guides and reference documentation in the next few weeks. In the meantime, refer to the Postman collection for an overview of endpoints and usage examples.
🐛 Bug fixes
- Linking documents as translations using the Content Management API now works as expected when the source document has a draft version.
- When synchronizing a page containing links to content that is translated in the target channel, the links in the target pages will now be properly updated to point to the translated content.
- Requests to the Content Type Management API no longer fail unexpectedly in case a merged development project is present.
- In the Channel settings dialog in the Experience manager, the field labels for the channel properties now show the properties' configured display names as expected.
Releases are deployed to customer environments 2 weeks after the date encoded in the release version. This will occur between 10:00-14:00 CET on a Tuesday for customers hosted in the US or APAC. (This is usually 4-8am EST or 18:00-22:00 AET, except during daylight saving time transitions.) For customers in the EU, this will happen on the same Tuesday between 18:00-22:00 CET. Please note that logged-in users might get logged out during the maintenance window.
