Let's explore the full details!

Gezy major features and customer-driven improvements​

As more projects go live with Front-Commerce 3.x or upgrade to the latest versions, we've received valuable feedback from our customers. Front-Commerce 3.8 incorporates core improvements and features to support projects with diverse and specific requirements.

This release marks a major milestone for our Gezy integration, introducing core e-commerce functionalities. We're excited to announce that you can now confidently start a project with Front-Commerce and Gezy, as we've implemented essential features and are now focusing on advanced capabilities!

As always, this release includes bug fixes that enhance the overall stability, DX and performance of the platform.

Gezy foundations and bug fixes​

Today we are releasing Front-Commerce 3.7 and 2.32. These releases are smaller than usual, as our team has been enjoying a well-deserved summer break since our latest releases 6 weeks ago!

The main highlight of the 3.7 release is the start of the integration with Gezy, which is the next e-commerce platform Front-Commerce will support.

We also worked on fixing bugs and slightly improving existing features on all our supported versions, based on the feedback we received from customers and partners through our support channels.

A revamped Maintenance Mode, Cache Control, Server Timings, Summer Bug Hunt & More​

Summer is here, and so is the new Front-Commerce release! 🌞

As you might know, Front-Commerce is now part of the Lundi Matin product family. This release is the first one under the Lundi Matin umbrella, and you will see that our focus hasn't changed: we are still committed to providing you with the best e-commerce experience!

Front-Commerce 3.6 introduces a range of practical tools that empower developers and operations teams in their day-to-day work.

• Enhanced Operations: Control downtime with MaintenanceMode and automated health checks for remote services such as Magento. Manage caching behavior with the CacheControl service, to ensure that your storefront is fast, always up and responsive even during peak traffic.
• Performance analysis: Get a better understanding of your server-side performance with Server-Timing headers. Front-Commerce provides fine-grained performance metrics to help you optimize your Time To First Byte by pinpointing bottlenecks.
• Smoother Development: this release also addresses several edge cases of dynamic routing and HMR introduced in 3.5, making development smoother.

Our team has also been working on a Summer bug hunt. Tackling a backlog of bugs has resulted in numerous smaller fixes and improvements across the codebase, further enhancing stability and performance.

These are just a few highlights. Keep reading to explore the full details!

A new Quick Order Page, Dynamic Routing, and Server-side Tracking​

This double release brings several requested features to Front-Commerce. The most notable ones are the quick order page which allows customers to order products in bulk seamlessly, and different ways to switch to server-side tracking to cope with the decline of 3rd-party cookies.

On a more technical side, we are happy to introduce one of the last missing feature from 2.x in Front-Commerce 3.5: dynamic routing. Built on top of the Remix/React-Router routes API, Front-Commerce dynamic routing allows you to implement any URL structure you want without sacrificing performance or features.
It is unique in the Remix ecosystem, and solves several limitations that were present in the previous versions of Front-Commerce. We are excited to see what you will build with it!

As usual, these releases also include several bug fixes and improvements to the product. Let's dive in and explore what's new in Front-Commerce 3.5.

Vite, Vite, Vite!​

We are thrilled to announce that Front-Commerce has migrated to Vite! 🎉
Vite is a tool that helps web developers build websites and web applications faster.

Front-Commerce 3.4 takes the development experience to a whole new level. We have migrated the frontend tooling of Front-Commerce projects from the Classic Remix Compiler to Vite. In an AI-assisted development environment, having fast feedback is key to productivity. That's why bringing faster development feedback was important to us. It also means that Front-Commerce now benefits from the latest features and improvements of the Vite ecosystem.

In addition to these technical changes under the hood, we have also introduced new features and improvements to the core of Front-Commerce. We have stabilized new public core APIs for developers, added new payment modules, and enhanced the testing experience for instant feedback 🚀

This release is very dense as it spans two usual release periods. Due to the technical challenges of migrating to Vite, we needed more time to ensure a smooth transition and a great developer experience. We hope this extended delay will be worth it for you.

💌 We would like to thank our partners Adexos, PH2M, and Webqam for their valuable feedback during the beta testing phase of this Vite version. Their input has been crucial in ensuring the quality of this release.

🤓 If you haven't tried Front-Commerce 3.x yet, now is the perfect time to do so. Let's dive into the details of Front-Commerce 3.4!

Introducing Event-Driven Architectural Components, Extensions Features, Public Configurations, and Automatic session commit​

We are pleased to announce the release of Front-Commerce 3.3, which lays the technical foundations for exciting features to come in the future. While the full set of features will be unveiled in 3.4, this release is packed with new architectural components that enable you to develop event-based features in your applications today.

In addition to the usual bug fixes, we have enhanced the core to improve your overall experience and prevent common mistakes detected from projects already using Front-Commerce Remixed. Finally, we have introduced several smaller but convenient features listed in the "Other changes" section below.

Let's dive in and explore what's new in this Front-Commerce release.

New packages, a Magic Button revamp, Attraqt recommendations and cloud improvements!​

Happy New Year, everyone! We hope you had a great holiday season and are ready to start the new year with a bang.

We are excited to introduce a range of new features and enhancements to Front-Commerce's core. While we are still prioritizing core fixes and stabilization, we have also been able to ship some significant features to Front-Commerce Remixed: all Magento 1 modules, Adyen Payment, and Akamai Image Manager are now available as standalone packages under the @front-commerce/*** namespace.

We have also revamped the technical foundations of the Magic Button and introduced a new concept called server services in Front-Commerce 3.2.

The 2.x branch also received some love with the introduction of Attraqt personalized recommendations and a few bug fixes. Be sure to upgrade to Front-Commerce 2.28! As time progresses, we anticipate more projects transitioning to 3.x, and the number of new features released for both major versions will gradually decrease.

Let's dive in and explore what's new in Front-Commerce, and for Front-Commerce Cloud customers.

A Blend of New Features and Core Stabilization​

Black Friday is fast approaching. We understand that you've been putting a lot of effort into getting ready for the holiday season, and our support team has been there to support you every step of the way.

This release is unique as it signifies a return to our regular release schedule with both new features and bug fixes every 6 weeks. This is also the inaugural release that combines new 2.x and 3.x minor versions. Just to remind you, Front-Commerce 3.0 was a major version that introduced new technical foundations without adding new features. Now, with Front-Commerce 3.1, we're back to delivering new features for this major version.

Some of these features are also incorporated into Front-Commerce 2.27.0, facilitating quicker adoption for existing projects. As time progresses, we anticipate more projects transitioning to 3.x, and the number of new features released for both major versions will gradually decrease.

Let's dive in and explore what's new in Front-Commerce…

We are excited to introduce Front-Commerce 3.0, a big leap forward in e-commerce development. With a focus on web performance, developer experience, and adherence to web standards, this release is set to redefine how you approach building your online storefronts.

Front-Commerce is a storefront for headless commerce based on the newly released Remix v2 framework. We're bringing all the goodness we developed over the past 7 years, to the Remix ecosystem.

Let's examine how we've merged both technologies to enhance the experience for end users and developers alike.
