Breaking Changes in EPiServer CMS 6 R2

 Breaking Changes Between EPiServer CMS 6 and CMS 6 R2

The following have been removed:

• EPiServer.Configuration.Settings.UseLegacyLongStringEditor property was removed as it was not used.
• Unreferenced empty interface EPiServer.Core.IPageStoreEvents was removed.
• EPiServer.Editor.TinyMCE.Plugins.EPiDialogResize was removed as part of TinyMCE version update.

The following has been renamed:

• EPiServer.MirroringService.MirroringMonitoring.MirroriongDataJSONCreator has been renamed to EPiServer.MirroringService.MirroringMonitoring.MirroringDataJSONCreator.

EPiServer.Web.WebControls.OnPageEditInputControl does not inherit from Label and the following  inherited members are lost:

• public virtual System.String get_AssociatedControlID ();
• public System.Boolean get_IsHtmlContent ();
• public virtual System.Boolean LoadPostData (
         System.String p1,
         System.Collections.Specialized.NameValueCollection p2);
• public virtual System.Void RaisePostDataChangedEvent ();
• public virtual System.Void set_AssociatedControlID (System.String p1);
• public System.Void set_IsHtmlContent (System.Boolean p1)

Semantic change of broken FriendlyUrlRewriteProvider

See the blog post about the ConvertToInternalInternal method that is not called. Override the TryConvertToInternal method as follows:

• public override bool TryConvertToInternal(UrlBuilder url, out CultureInfo preferredCulture, out object internalObject)

The return value has been changed from void to int32 for ImportData overloads of EPiServer.Install.CMS.Modules.ModulesInstallationManager.

The following methods are affected:

• public void ImportData(
      InstallationManager installationManager,
      string destinationDirectory,
      string virtualDirectory,
      string importSource,
      DatabaseDestination destination,
      bool updateStartPageAttribute)
• public void ImportData(
      InstallationManager installationManager,
      string destinationDirectory,
      string virtualDirectory,
      string importSource,
      DatabaseDestination destination,
      bool updateStartPageAttribute, 
      TimeSpan transactionTimeout)

Member EPiServer.DataAccess.SchedulerDB.MarkEIForExecution got an additional parameter (Bug #60319). Calls to the following method needs to be updated accordingly.

• public System.Boolean MarkEIForExecution(
      System.Guid p1,
      System.DateTime p2)

Breaking Changes between EPiServer Framework 6.1 and 6.2

• EPiServer.Data.Dynamic.Providers.DataStoreProvider.GetValueOverflowCount was given an additional parameter (oldPropertyMap). This should only affect you if you have implemented a custom dynamic data store provider.

• The type of the EPiServer.HtmlParsing.EndElementFragment property changed from AttributeToken to ElementToken.

Performance improvements on the HTML parsing API’s forced a few breaking changes.

• The EPiServer.HtmlParsing.IHtmlSource.Pushback member was changed to take a char argument instead of an integer.
• EPiServer.HtmlParsing.IHtmlParserContext.Pushback was removed.
• The following types implement one or both of the interfaces and consequentially have the same breaking changes
  • EPiServer.HtmlParsing.HtmlParserContext
  • EPiServer.HtmlParsing.StringSource
  • EPiServer.HtmlParsing.TextReaderSource
