Release Notes

August 2020 – released Sitecore Experience Platform 10.0.0

This a feature release. Sitecore recommends that you upgrade to this release if it includes features that meet the specific needs of your organization. This release contains significant new feature functionality, and we encourage you to evaluate it.

 

Highlights

Sitecore Experience Platform 10.0.0 includes:

  • ​The Sitecore XM topology now completely supports in-session personalization.
  • In Azure Application Insights, the Application Map has been added to the xConnect application services and web jobs.
  • XConnect - The sitecore.version.xml file has been added to the XConnect roles and services to determine the current version of the Sitecore.
  • XConnect - The SQL Sharding Deployment tool has been updated and the order of the parameters is no longer strict and proper exception logging has been added.
  • ​XConnect - The XConnect Client API has been extended with ExecutionOptions for every get operation. All the overloads with ExpandOptions have been deprecated and will be removed in the next release.
  • XConnect - We have introduced a Circuit Breaker Pattern for XConnect. In a distributed environment, calls to the XConnect server can fail because of transient faults or when resources are responding slowly. Using HTTP retries carelessly can create a DoS attack and slow down the response time of the server. This can exponentially increase the traffic to the failing service. The Circuit Breaker defense prevents applications from performing operations that are likely to fail within a configurable time frame.
  • The Shared Session State database is now disabled by default, and can be enabled if required.​
  • You can now specify which paths should not be tracked by RegEx. The tracking exclusion feature supports both web forms and MVC paths.​
  • Audience Filtering in Experience Analytics - You can now filter all the Experience Analytics reports on marketing segments created in list manager.
    You can:
    • Target segments of contacts through pre-defined rules and then see report based on these marketing segments.
    • Push emails to a segmented list and then see the impact across your websites.
    • See reports on the performance of your key target groups.
  • Developer Experience - As part of the new Sitecore CLI, Sitecore Content Serialization provides automation-friendly tools for serializing, deserializing, packaging, and deploying items with a remote Sitecore instance.
  • Containers - You can quickly get started doing container-based Sitecore development with the Sitecore Docker Tools and our comprehensive documentation on development practices for Sitecore Containers.
  • To support containers, readiness health checks have been added for XConnect web-roles and XConnect Client (non-web roles).
  • In the Reporting database, the Visitors column has been removed.
  • Marketing Foundation - ​​The Sharding Deployment Tool now supports SQL Azure Elastic Pool.
  • Marketing Automation - ​Performance improvements in XConnect for customers who do not use Marketing Automation.
    Marketing Automation does not load contacts and interactions unless there is an inactive or active plan.
  • Marketing Automation - A new birthday rule has been implemented.
    A milestone that is often used to target customers is their birthday. By creating a scheduled marketing automation campaign that runs based on a birthday rule, you can send a birthday message to customers before, during or after that date.
  • Marketing Automation - ​We now send telemetry about when a campaign is activated and deactivated to the consumption tracking client.
  • A new page has been added that automatically collects basic information about your Identity Server instance.
  • Headless Services - The ASP.NET Core Rendering SDK allows you to use .NET Core to construct headless rendering applications that run independently.
  • Sitecore.ContentSearch.Azure - In Sitecore XP 10.0.0, Azure Search is deprecated and will be completely removed in the Sitecore XP 10.2.0. While you can still use Azure Search in XP 10.0.0 today and it will be supported according to our product support timelines, future changes will be required when you upgrade to a later version where Azure Search has been completely removed.
    If you are starting a new Sitecore project, we recommend that you use Solr as your search engine to prevent any future upgrade obstacles from occurring.
  • The Visitors column has been removed from the reporting database.

Important
The Sitecore Identity Server 10.0.0 container image ships with ASP.NET Core Runtime 2.1.18. Microsoft has released a security patch, version 2.1.20 (release notes), for the 2.1 long term support channel (download info).
