  2. Agenda • What’s new? • System requirements • What’s improved? • Assemblies Updated • Knife tools • Demo • Q & A

  3. What’s new? – Major Highlights • Code named as “Elbrus” – Why? - Architecture • Unlimited items! (“SC7 scales to virtually unlimited content volumes”) – Say bye to 100 child items limit! – Magic lies in “Item Buckets” • Awesome search! (Content Tagging, Faceting, Boosting, Performance) – available via CE,PE, and dialog boxes! – Search statistics! • New LINQ layer with Sitecore.ContentSearch API – got power for Indexing and search! (Client/Kernel/Analytics – 3440 methods, SC.CS/SC.Buckets – 3200 methods) – LINQ API statistics! • New field types! (Multilist, Tree list, GenerallinkEx with search) • Device simulator! (Since, Sitecore 6.6) • Supports Lucene/Solr/ElasticSearch!

  4. System requirements • Requires .NET framework 4.5 • Developers must use Visual Studio 2012 when developing for Sitecore, even if their own projects are compiled for .NET 4.0 or .NET 3.5 • Supports Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2008 SP2, Windows 7, and Windows Vista SP2+ and the associated IIS versions (IIS 7, IIS 7.5). • Require SQL Server 2008 R2 or SQL Server 2012 and their corresponding SQL Server Express editions [SQL 2K8 – Not supported] • Sitecore is deprecating support for running Sitecore under IIS application pools configured to use Classic pipeline mode.

  5. What’s improved? • IFilter support • DataSource improvements – Datasource rendering parameters stored in GUID instead of path • Improved logging for indexing and search – few more log files to analyze!  • Renderings and layouts – clear index on update • Changes around the list of supported browsers: • IE 8, 9 + 10 (IE 7 is no longer supported) • Chrome 25 and later • Firefox 17 and later • Apple Safari 6 for Mac OS (Apple Safari for Windows is no longer supported • by Apple) • Troubleshooting – patch info in showconfig.aspx

  6. Assemblies updated • Following 3rd party assemblies has been updated, might have to update and recompile your code if you are referencing them!

  10. Q and A ? The test of a good teacher is not how many questions he can ask his pupils that they will answer readily, but how many questions he inspires them to ask him which he finds it hard to answer.

  11. Questions for you! • What’s the release date of SC7? • How Sitecore solved 100 child items limit? • Device Simulator is new feature of SC7?Yes/No • You can use VS 2010 while developing on SC7? • SC7 hosted on IIS7 will work with Classic pipeline? • Using which page you can do pipeline profiling? • If you switch your provider from Lucene to Solr – Do you need to change your code?

  12. Thank you! Happy Sitecoring!  Kiran Patil – Sitecore MVP 2013 http://sitecorebasics.wordpress.com/
