We're proud to announce the availability of SmartStore.NET 2.1.
 
Highlights
 
SmartStore.NET 2.1 is a developer- and designer-focused release with the main goal to drastically simplify plugin development, debugging & deployment
thus being an important milestone for our upcoming Plugin Marketplace
 
With SmartStore.NET 2.1, plugins finally are first-class citizens, and theme development has never been easier:
  • Plugin assemblies can contain multiple providers now (e.g. shipping calculators, payment methods etc.)
  • Views in plugin source folders can be edited during debug. The changes are reflected adhoc without the need for recompilation.
  • No embedded views anymore. Views get copied to the deployment folder
  • No cumbersome return View("Very.Long.View.Identifier") anymore, just regular MVC areas.
  • Plugins can provide custom tabs more easily (now with on demand AJAX loading)
  • Theme inheritance: create derived child themes with minimum effort by overriding only small parts (static files and even variables)
Other highlights are:
  • New backend design and cleaner frontend theme
  • More comfortable catalog management & product editing
  • Increased performance, especially in the public frontend
  • Lower memory consumption
  • New payment plugins: Pay with Amazon & Accarda-Kar
  • Preview Mode: virtually test themes and shops more easily
  • Simplified checkout process
  • Buyer can add a comment during checkout
  • New Image Gallery component in public product details page
  • Support for hierarchical SEO slugs, e.g.: samsung/galaxy/s5/16gb/white
  • Better HTML editing with CKEditor (including media management & file upload)
  • Support for new EU VAT regulation for digital goods (2008/8/EG directive)
  • Lots of other new features, improvements and a lot of bugfixes
  • Import/Export for localized product data like Name, Short Description etc.
 
 
Download
 
You can download SmartStore.NET 2.1 from our GitHub Repository. Click on the Source code button below the Release Notes section to download the full source code.
If you're interested in the compiled version only, click SmartStore.Web.2.1.0.zip. Plugins which are not part of the core, can be obtained via
SmartStore.NET.AdditionalPlugins.2.1.0.zip. Just copy the contents of this archive over to your main Plugins folder.
 
Upgrade from previous versions
 
The locations of many files has changed in this release, therefore we advise to (partially) delete the old app folder first rather than copying the new files over.
Folders you definitely should NOT delete are:
  • App_Data
  • Media
You should also delete the Themes folder, if you're sure that you didn't make any changes to the existing themes. Otherwise make a backup of your changes first, delete the Themes folder
and merge your changes back later. After you deployed the files, you can start the application in your browser. The database migration will be performed in the background automatically.
 
Please note that your own or any 3rd party plugin will not work anymore. Plugins other than those maintained by us have to be refactored first in order to be compatible
with SmartStore.NET 2.1.
