Localization and import or export breaking changes

This article covers localization and import or export breaking changes in CMS 13.

Localization provider for /lang folder

CMS no longer automatically registers a localization provider for the /lang folder. You should move to embedded language files instead.

EPiServer.Framework.Localization.LocalizationService

• LocalizationService checks the invariant culture when configured as the FallbackCulture. Configure FallbackBehavior to skip checking fallback culture completely.
• The abstract LoadString and GetAllStringsByCulture methods now take a ReadOnlyMemory<char>[] parameter instead of string[]. These methods are abstract.
• The NormalizeKey method returns ReadOnlyMemory<char>[] and has replaced the NormalizeKeyAsMemory method.
• The MissingMessageFormat field was removed. Use the GetMissingMessage method to format a missing message string.

EPiServer.Framework.Localization.LocalizationProvider

• The abstract GetString and GetAllStrings methods with string[] parameter were replaced with their equivalent methods taking a ReadOnlyMemory<char>[] parameter instead. These methods are abstract.

EPiServer.Framework.Localization.ProviderBasedLocalizationService

• No longer implements IConfigurableModule and no longer registers as an InitializableModule.

EPiServer.Framework.Localization.ResourceKeyNormalizedEventArgs

• The type of the NormalizedKey property and constructor argument was changed from string[] to ReadOnlyMemory<char>[].

EPiServer.Framework.Localization.CultureInfoExtensions

• The class with extension methods to CultureInfo was removed.

EPiServer.Framework.Localization.LocalizationService (additional removals)

• Two protected virtual TryGetStringByCulture overloads (with string[] key parameters) were removed. Use the overloads with ReadOnlyMemory<char>[] parameters instead.

EPiServer.Framework.Localization.ResourceKeyHandler (additional removals)

• Method NormalizeKey (returning string[]) was removed. Use NormalizeKeyIntoMemory instead.

EPiServer.Enterprise

Export changes

• EPiServer.Enterprise.ExportEventArgs – Property ExportContext was removed because only one export type exists. Constructor accepting Type argument that was used for ExportContext was removed.

• EPiServer.Enterprise.ExportEventArgs.ContextOfExport – Enum removed because there is only one type of export after the remaining mirroring functionality was removed.

• EPiServer.Enterprise.ContentExportingEventArgs – Constructor accepting Type argument that was used for ExportContext was removed.

Import changes

• EPiServer.Enterprise.IImportStatus – Three new properties were added: Content, Blueprints, and DisplayTemplates. DynamicPropertyDefinitions was removed because it is no longer supported.

Transfer context

• EPiServer.Enterprise.Transfer.ITransferContext

  • A new DisplayTemplates property was added.
  • DeleteContent, DeleteContentLanguages, DeleteChildrenGuids, and MoveContent were removed as mirroring is no longer supported.
  • Property DynamicPropertyDefinitions was removed. Dynamic Properties are no longer supported.

• EPiServer.Enterprise.Transfer.TypeOfTransfer – MirroringImporting and MirroringExporting were removed as mirroring is no longer supported.

Dynamic Data Transfer

• EPiServer.Enterprise.DynamicDataTransferHandler – No longer implements the IConfigurableModule interface.

Dynamic Properties in export/import

• EPiServer.Enterprise.IDataExplorer.AddDynamicProperty – Removed. Dynamic Properties are no longer supported.
• EPiServer.Enterprise.IExportStatus.DynamicPropertyDefinitionsCount – Removed. Dynamic Properties are no longer supported.

EPiServer.LinkAnalyzer

• EPiServer.LinkAnalyzer.LinkAnalyzerInitialization – No longer implements the IConfigurableModule interface. Services are registered using the AddCmsLinkAnalyzer() service collection extension method.
