In march Hybris made an announcement of a new release. For a major version release the announcement was very low profile. It does not even say that it is a release at all, it just mentions some new features. Maybe they will make a more official announcement yet, who knows.
The release is much more about internals being updated than about radically new features, although there are some. Here's the stuff that caught ^my eye:
- Architecture
- New cockpit framework (a cockpit is a small web application directed at a specific task)
- made up of widgets: multichannel screens that may user multiple datasources
- Application Orchestrator: a graphical workflow tool to link widgets
- Accelerators now have Addons: extensions without modifying the accelerator codebase. They may contain frontend functions
- Mobile SDK
- HTML5
- sample apps with GPS, camera, QR-code scanning, NFC...
- Clustering without multicast
- Better caching (EhCache default)
- Default lazy loading
- Media storage plugins + Cloud media support
- Graphical workflow preview
- Order Management Services (OMS) cockpit
- single inventory view (multi shop, multi shop)
- sourcing and allocation
- pick/pack/dispatch
- expected for V5.1
- return management
- back orders
- Commerce Infrastructure Services (CIS):
- framework with pluggable payment, taxes, address verification, shipping, fraud detection, geolocation...
- third party plugins for various services
- InStore module: module providing services in brick and mortar stores
- QR code, barcode, NFC identification
- show rich product info
- access to stock and order management
