Highlights
- Look for the following highlights in this release.
Security Enhancements
- Merchants can now install time-sensitive security fixes without applying the hundreds of functional fixes and enhancements that a full quarterly release provides (for example, 2.4.1-p1). Patch 2.4.0.12 (Composer package 2.4.1-p1) is a security patch that provides fixes for vulnerabilities that have been identified in our previous quarterly release, 2.4.1. All hot fixes that were applied to the 2.4.1 release are included in this security patch. (Ahot fixprovides a fix to a released version that addresses a specific problem or bug.)
- For general information about security patches, seeIntroducing the New Security Patch Release. For instructions on downloading and applying security patches (including patch 2.4.1-p1), seeQuick start on-premises installation. Security patches include security bug fixes only, not the additional security enhancements that are included in the full patch.
Platform Upgrades
- The ability to configure an installation to use a split database has been deprecated in this release. Merchants who currently use split database should start planning to revert to or migrate to a single database or use an alternative approach. See theDeprecation of split database functionality in Adobe CommerceDevBlog post for an overview of this issue. SeeRevert from a split database to a single databasefor migration instructions.
