As you may be aware, 2.1 RC1 was released last week as well as 2.0.7 yesterday.

I know 2.1 implies a lot of changes.

My question is, as a developer, which are the changes I should be aware of and take into consideration ?

I'm not looking for the release notes, I would like a list of stuff that changed in the code that are considered as major changes / breaking changes.

To rephrase it: which changes should I be aware of when coming from 2.0 to 2.1 developer wise ?

The CMS, Catalog and GiftCard modules received a major version bump because methods have been added to API interfaces:

  • Magento\Cms\Api\Data\PageInterface
  • Magento\Catalog\Api\ProductCustomOptionRepositoryInterface
  • Magento\Catalog\Api\ProductLinkRepositoryInterface
  • Magento\GiftCard\Api\Data\GiftcardAmountInterface (EE)

But this does not count in breaking changes in classes/methods outside the @api service contracts.

  • Good one indeed and great that they keep going the service contracts route.

If you are asking about changes(developer wise), one of the major breaking changes I've found is the use of UI Components for the Category New/Edit page. Which means that if you've added a custom attribute to category, it will now need to be specified using an XML file catalog_form.xml.

Apparently, this is the way they're going. You can find more details in here. (https://github.com/magento/magento2/issues/5942)

Edit

Another thing broken in M2.1 is the configurable swatches. https://github.com/magento/magento2/issues/5691 This was working completely fine in the M2.07

Magento provides a list of backward-incompatible changes on the official dev docs. A list is available for each minor version:

2.0: http://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.0/release-notes/backward-incompatible-changes.html 2.1: http://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.1/release-notes/backward-incompatible-changes.html 2.2: http://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.2/release-notes/backward-incompatible-changes.html

  • As I said, I know where the release notes are and that's not what I need. What I would like is a developer wise list of major changes in terms of coding.

  • I don't know if there's a reference for that. You could watch commits in the 2.1 branch on github

  • Yes I know there's no reference, that's the reason why I'm asking. People with more experience than me with 2.1 may have already found interesting stuff ;)
