FAS 22.4.0 Upgrade Notes

Introduction

FAS 22.4 is compatible with the previous release.

Enhanced triggering

Most of the existing triggers have new implementations in the enhanced triggering library. The current item trigger is the only one that hasn't been migrated, but is planned for a future release. The new triggering is enabled, and the old one with Drools is disabled by default. Each trigger type has its own switch and global one.

Changes introduced in the system.xml file, under the node com/fredhopper/features:

<!--
This enables/disables the enhanced triggering library. The "enable-enhanced-triggering" switch is a global
one, but there are also individual switches for each of the supported entity types.
The enhanced triggering library replaces the rule engine for the enabled trigger types.
