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 methods' behavior.
Low risk breaking changes
- Moved method RemoveSpace(System.String stringIn) to another class inside Test Folder. This method is only used in automation projects.
- Modified DependencySystemSettings so that they can be changed without requiring a restart. The system setting for Performance - CacheManager was removed to support this ability. It was not needed due to there only being a single option to implement ICacheManager.
- Fixed removing promo code with multiple free products. Removed CustomerOrderPromotion property from Insite.Promotions.Services.Results.RemovePromotionResult and added CustomerOrderPromotions instead.
- Removed MiniProfiler. This setting was in the public surface area but was not likely referenced by custom code.
