Episerver - update 332

New release of Episerver Commerce (promotion engine performance improvements) and Episerver Campaign. Bug fixes for Episerver Forms.

The update applies to Episerver projects version 7.5 and higher, and contains finalized work items included in the latest iteration of services and related client-side NuGet packages. Continuous release updates are cumulative to include previous updates. Episerver supports all platform updates and strongly recommends that you keep ongoing projects up-to-date. You can install the update packages from the Episerver NuGet feed.

Note: A product release may contain multiple NuGet packages with inter-dependencies. This release information lists updated main package versions. When a release is built, other dependent packages may also be bumped to new versions, although they contain no publicly visible changes. This is done to avoid dependency errors. When you upgrade, NuGet alerts you to upgrade related packages to the required versions. For Commerce, it is important to ensure that you are running the same version of CMS and Commerce, both in the front-end and back-end applications.

Episerver Campaign

  See Resetting password and PIN in the Episerver User Guide.
• Deep Analytics: Field ID as dimension
  In Deep Analytics, you can display the ID instead of the name for the mailing, client and recipient list dimensions.
  See Creating a report template in the Episerver User Guide
• Field functions: Create date object from string value
  When using a Velocity field function for displaying a date, the date is returned as string value. To extract the date and use only some parts of it for further processing (for example, day or time), a date object is required. The new behavior creates date objects from string values.
  See Field functions in the Episerver User Guide
• Coupon codes: Reduced loading time
  When loading coupon codes, a pre-filter checks for valid tracking links. The new validation reduces the loading time and improves the performance.
