New features and improvements in this release

Index engine
We made big improvements in the stability, scalability and performance of the index engine.
• Improved stability

• Vastly increased the speed of date operations for facets and virtual expressions.
Data Model
• New feature: Assign a default value to properties, which is automatically used if no value is pushed by the connector

Important notices
Migrations
• Migrating a data directory from V6R2012x is supported
• After migrating to SP1, the query reporting graphs are not available. You can either wait for the next daily computation, or use the API console to force a new run (Manage > search > operations > generateStaticReport and generateStaticApplicationReport)
API Compatibility
APIs are fully compatible with V6R2012x.
Known bugs
• To avoid possible inconsistencies after installing a slave host, always re-apply the configuration. Trigger a dummy change in admin-ui to enable it. (#12985)
• The admin-ui virtual expression builder includes the #nbCats function, which causes a "field 'nbCats' not found or not retrievable" message. Replace #nbCats with #children_count. (#13000)
Reporting problems
• Always use CVDiag to report crashes and errors. To access CVDiag from the Administration Console, go to Monitor > Reporting.
