Breaking changes
Binary breaking changes do not necessarily require code changes but rather just a recompilation of the project. This section describes breaking changes to method signatures or method behaviors in Optimizely Configured Commerce.
Real Time Inventory announcement
One of the primary initiatives for Configured Commerce in 2025 is to reduce the number of preventable support tickets. As a part of this analysis, the developers have identified a thread safety issue in the Real Time Inventory engine that has caused occasional errors on many sites. A mitigation is planned for this February release while a thorough fix will come later.
To fully alleviate this, Optimizely will modify the ProductInventory class to prevent cache entry modification. These entries would only be modifiable by their constructors. Because this is a breaking change, base code and customizations that may be written to these cache entries must be modified. Attempting to deploy a commerce version with these changes without updating extensions to account for them will result in run-time errors.
If you have customizations involving real-time inventory, you must update them to account for the changes.
Low risk
- Updated NPM packages – Optimizely has updated some NPM packages. Review references/customizations.
- Added a new option to the Main Navigation widget in Spire that lets users specify individual links agnostic of the CMS page structure.
- Upgrade typescript from version 4.9.4 to v5.7.3.
