Migration Notes

Rules Service

The following properties were changed

version-in-deployment-name = true version-in-deployment-name = false

Changed behavior of the Deployment Repository because of the performance issue. In exceptional case it can be restored old behavior using version-in-deployment-name=true.

Core

Java 7 is used as minimal supported version (Java 9 is now supported). Added validation of duplicated packages/classes inside OpenL WARs.

OpenL Rules

The implicit casting from Double to Integer was removed as error-prone. So use a correct argument type or use round function.
