brXM V16.0.0 Detailed Release Notes

Release date: June 27, 2024

brXM version 16.0.0 is now available. This major release includes updates to both community and enterprise artifacts.

We recommend that all projects upgrade to the latest regular release. Only use tagged artifacts that are not part of an official release if you have a specific requirement and have validated them in your project environment.

For a summary of the key changes, see the release announcement.

JVM Default Time Zone on Bloomreach Cloud

When running brXM v16.x on Bloomreach Cloud, the JVM default time zone is set to UTC. Any date or time logic that depends on the JVM default time zone (rather than an explicitly configured time zone) will use UTC.

How to Change Time Zone Behavior

  • CMS UI Time Zone
    You can configure the time zone selection dropdown on the CMS login page. This allows users to select their preferred time zone at login, with the browser time zone as the default. Alternatively, you can enforce a single time zone for all users.
    For configuration details, see: Configure the CMS login page (time zone selection dropdown)

  • JVM Default Time Zone
    To set a specific JVM default time zone, define the user.timezone property in a properties file (for example, user.timezone=Europe/Amsterdam) and configure it as a Java System Properties file during deployment.

Third-Party Library Updates

The following third-party libraries have changed since the previous release. If your project directly depends on any of these libraries, review compatibility and consult the vendors' documentation for details about their changes.
