July 2021 Release Highlights
There are no specific highlights for this release.
Important notes/Breaking changes
The following are the high or medium priority breaking changes that occurred during this release:
- Fixed an issue where a username appears in the URL when requesting a password change - Replaced the userName query parameter with the userId query parameter.
- Addressed checkout workflow tab order issues in Spire - Moved the action button's bottom grid item into a hidden component so it will no longer appear until the screen size reaches the necessary break points.
Low risk changes are:
- Made accessibility fixes for Product Detail page - The direction of the outermost grid on the product detail page now goes from right to left make the tab order focus through elements in the righthand column (which contains the product details and add to cart button) first before tabbing through the image gallery on the left. If a customer has overwritten the css for the grid container, the page might appear mirrored, with the image gallery to the right of the product details/add to cart button.
- Removed Microsoft.SqlServer.Types from allowed libraries list - Improved the internal build process and supporting Microsoft.SqlServer.Types requires a custom process.
- Altered the search index to accommodate attributes of the child products of variant products - This introduced a potential breaking change if the search pipeline in GetIndexableProductsSqlStatementParts that generates the SQL query was overridden. You should validate that the search index builds correctly and that returned attributes are what you expect. If you have not made changes to the search pipeline, everything should continue to work as expected even with this change in place.
