April 2023 release highlights
- You can now more easily move from Classic CMS to Spire CMS through a conversion toolconversion tool. This tool translates content from Classic and let you upload it to Spire.
Important notes/Breaking changes
Low risk breaking changes:
- Hreflang and the SetContextLanguageCode parameter
- Made improvements to the URLs included in the hreflang header links. This included fixing a bug where brand pages were not setting the hreflang links. As part of this fix, AlternateLanguageUrls was added to the BrandModel c# class, which is also used as a TypeScript model in Spire.
- API changes to support Promo Codes removal from Cart.
- Added support for deleting one and all applied promo codes in the Cart. Created two new handlers in the IPromotionService.
- RecursivePartial<T> interface (Spire)
- Fixed RecursivePartial to be truly recursive for object properties that can be undefined. Previously RecursivePartial<{ a?: { b: string, c: string } }> turned into { a?: { b: string, c: string } } which is not correct. Now it turns into { a?: { b?: string, c?: string } }.
