API changes
Note: there are no API changes since V6R2013x. These notes are about API changes from previous releases.
Mashup: APIs & Plugins
• New MEL function API is available. It provides support for MELType and allows to handle several prototypes for your function.
• Custom mashup controllers can now have user facing configuration (in Application > Manage Components > Controllers).
• New customization entry point to provide a customOutput format of the mashup api
• Configuration for all kind of components can be defined as an xml file rather than annotation (similar to widget).
CrawlConfig, FetchConfig

Packaging
• The Advanced Document Conversion component (DCV) is no longer provided with the product. This component provides improved previews and text-extraction for exotic / legacy file formats. For more info, contact product-management@exalead.com.
Known Issues and Workarounds
• It is not possible to disable search static reporting
• Multi-dimension facets with additional tree representations, dim_switch, dynamic date facets and geo facets sometimes fail to process two consecutive hierarchical refines (NEED REF) Note that "additional tree representation" provides limited functionality. It is strongly advised NOT to use it, and to use the dedicated multi-dimension API and widgets.
• Corner cases in virtual fields arithmetic operations can cause a crash of the replica (i.e., int(NaN) / -1, int(+inf) / -1, or int(-inf) / -1)
Deprecated
• The following widgets are deprecated and won't be available in V6R2014:
