We are excited to announce that we now have OroCommerce version 1.1 available. The new version includes the following features and enhancements:

Workflows and Roles:

  • We've added new default request a quote (RFQ) workflows for store frontend and backoffice RFQ management
  • The new default back-office Quote workflow provides a unified seamless quote management experience
  • Standard create and edit entity pages can now be re-used in workflows
  • It is now possible to select the transition destination page in the workflow editor
  • Order confirmation page has become an integral part of the checkout workflows, so checkout outcome can be controlled and changed by activating a different checkout workflow
  • Checkout workflows have been expanded to provide additional validation rules and warn user or request required information before the checkout workflow actually started
  • It is now possible to have different sets of configurable customer role permissions in the role management UI on the store frontend and in the management console

Integrations and APIs:

  • Payment and shipping methods are now configurable similarly to other integrations and multiple alternative configurations may be used in payment and shipping rules
  • Full list of payment-related actions (payment history) has been added to the order view pages in the management console
  • It is now possible to validate API credentials and other configuration parameters of shipping integrations before enabling them
  • Export of customers and customer users is now available out of the box
  • New customer data API and RFQ API allow for easier integration with 3-rd party systems

Performance:

  • Existing event listeners have been refactored to target entity-specific events
  • The demo data installation process has been modified to provide pre-populated pre-indexed data right after the system installation (additional re-indexing is no longer necessary)
  • Search data indexation has been refactored to limit the scope and make sure it's triggered only for the relevant data field updates
  • ORM re-indexation speed has also been improved
  • Entity line item hydration has been optimized for entities with large number of line items
  • Localized data is now cached to improved data retrieval performance

Management Console:

  • Web content management now allows for efficient redirect management, URL generation and configuration, and automatic URL conflict resolution
  • New menu management UI can be used to quickly and easily modify store frontend menus globally and for selected websites
  • It is now possible to select product page templates for individual products out of the set of template provided by the store frontend themes
  • Catalog managers can now choose any destination when moving selected categories and can perform mass moves of multiple categories at once
  • Warehouse priorities and price list priorities can be management via simple drag-n-drop UI
  • It is now possible to delete warehouses
  • Language management UI has been modified to better map system-defined languages to the translations available on CrowdIn

Segmentation and Reporting:

  • It is now possible to limit number of records included in a segment and sort segmented data in the specified order
  • Report results can be grouped by custom date periods

Store Frontend:

  • My account profile has been updated and optimized for mobile and tablet devices
  • Category page may now include large visual images
  • Frontend grids can now be configured by the user similarly to the grid configuration in the management console
  • Mass ordering of product variants can now be performed in a matrix ordering form
  • Store managers can control the order and grouping of product attributes on the store frontend pages
  • Web catalog data is now included in the search index to provide additional searchable content
  • It is now possible to use regular "contains" filters in search-based datagrids

We have also included a few dozen of small bug fixes and miscellaneous improvements into this release.
