Episerver - update 151

New releases of Episerver CMS UI, Episerver Commerce and A/B Testing. Bug fixes for Episerver Forms and a hotfix for Episerver Amazon (applies to CMS 7.x and 8.x).

The update applies to Episerver projects version 7.5 and higher, and contains finalized work items included in the latest iteration. 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 updates from the Episerver NuGet feed.

Main packages
This release information lists updated main package versions for the Episerver platform. When a release is built, other dependent packages also may 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.

New feature:

• • CMS-4793: The old Gadget framework is depracated
    From Episerver CMS UI 10.6.0, the GadgetAttribute is marked as obsolete and will be removed in an upcoming major version release. Instead, you should use CompontentAttribute when creating components. All jQuery-based libraries are also now marked as deprecated and should not be referenced because they will be removed in the future. See Grzegorz Wiecheć's blog post for more information.
  • CMS-6328: Remaining URL field is blank after saving external link to CMS page with action route
    To solve a bug where query strings were removed when creating an internal link using the External link option, a new field has been been implemented in the Create/Edit link dialog box. Using this field, editors can add or edit query strings on internal links.
