Breaking Changes in EAV and 2sxc v13

We try to minimize breaking changes, and most breaking changes won't affect your work, because it's internal API. We're documenting it here to ensure you know what happened, in case you still run into this.

Summary

V13 did some clean-up. It will rarely affect you, but if you are using the TimelineJs App it will.

Breaking Changes in 2sxc 13.00

API Changes that may affect you

  1. An old, non-DI feature for Inner Content is being deprecated and will be removed in v14
    see instructions

    see instructions

  3. An old feature to create DataSources is removed
    see instructions

  4. Two old data-conversion features DataToDictionary and EntitiesToDictionary were removed
    see instructions

  5. Some internal functionality which enabled IEntity objects to convert links containing file:... and page:... has been removed. This only affects special deep code calls on IEntity and does _not affect DynamicEntity objects in Razor see instructions

Major Updates with may affect you

  1. The Image Resizer is being replaced with ImageFlow
