Changes in repositories
In Magento 2.2 the behavior of repositories regarding the Filters added to Search Criteria was unified:

Changes in repositories in method getList
In Magento 2.2 the signature of the method getList was unified across the code base.
public function getList(\Magento\Framework\Api\SearchCriteria $searchCriteria);
was changed to
public function getList(\Magento\Framework\Api\SearchCriteriaInterface $searchCriteria);
These changes won’t affect the clients that use these interfaces, but this will affect the extensions that implemented these interfaces.
In oder to adopt custom implementations of these interfaces, please, change method signature from \Magento\Framework\Api\SearchCriteria
to \Magento\Framework\Api\SearchCriteriaInterface
in your implementations.

Compiler changes
This release removes the multi-tenant compiler option and support of the definitions option for the single tenant compiler in the env.php
file.
The following classes are no longer available:
Magento\Setup\Console\Command\DiCompileMultiTenantCommand
Magento\Framework\ObjectManager\Relations\Compiled
Magento\Framework\ObjectManager\Definition\Compiled\Serialized
Magento\Framework\ObjectManager\Definition\Compiled\Binary
Magento\Framework\Interception\Definition\Compiled
The bin/magento setup:config:set
command no longer has the --definition-format
option.
Changes in UI
Advanced section in System Configurations
Action: Section Advanced
was removed from Admin Interface
Description: Magento does not support disabling/enabling modules output from the Admin Panel in 2.2.0 version. Module output can still be enabled/disabled in configuration files.
Database schema changes
store_group
Action: New column code
was added to store_group
table. This column has a unique key.
Description: Data to this column for existing store Groups will be automatically filled based on Group names.
Database data format changes
This release replaces usages of unserialize
with json_decode
.
The release also provides upgrade scripts that convert Magento data stored in serialized format.
Extension developers should review the following cases to see what actions they should take for their extensions:
Case 1:
Your extension declared fields for automatic serialization/unserialization using the _serializableFields
parameter of \Magento\Framework\Model\ResourceModel\Db\AbstractDb
.
Solution:
Write an upgrade script to convert your extension data to JSON format.
Case 2:
Your extension stores or adds serialized data to Magento entities (e.g. new/custom attributes for Product).
Solution:
Your extension will continue working normally, but we recommend switching to JSON for security reasons.
You also need to write an upgrade script for the data in the database.
Case 3:
Your extension relies on serialized data from Magento entities.
Solution:
Update all usages to expect the data in JSON format.
Case 4:
The serialize/unserialize logic belongs to your extension and stores data in a new table or field.
Solution:
Your extension will continue working normally, but we recommend switching to JSON for security reasons.
You also need to write an upgrade script for the data in the database.
Case 5:
Your extension accesses values in the core_config_data
table using the following paths:
payment/braintree/countrycreditcard
design/theme/ua_regexp
cataloginventory/item_options/min_sale_qty
currency/options/customsymbol
admin/magento_logging/actions
Solution:
Update your extension to use \Magento\Framework\Serialize\Serializer\Json
for serializing/unserializing data instead of the native PHP serialize/unserialize functions.
Case 6:
Your extension uses a backend model that extends \Magento\Config\Model\Config\Backend\Serialized
to save/load data to/from the database.
Solution:
Write an upgrade script to update data stored by the extension in the core_config_data
table from serialized to JSON format.
See:
