Changelog
Minor Update Release 12.1.0
Process chains of the jobs ProcessChain.InitIndexesProductAssignments and ProcessChain.RebuildIndexesProductAssignments were moved to SLDSystem site. This was necessary because the framework expects it to be in a site folder. See Job - ProcessChain.InitIndexesProductAssignments and Job - ProcessChain.RebuildIndexesProductAssignments.
With the new Order REST API 1.6.0, users with the account_admin role can view all orders of a customer and use a filter to restrict views to a specific user now, similar to the Responsive Starter Store functionality. For further compatible REST API updates, see Reference - Intershop Commerce Management 12 REST API.
A new Java API has been introduced, which allows for a registration of objects to be cleaned up to avoid usage of deprecated
Object.finalize().
