Release 3.16.0-beta.1 · algolia/algoliasearch-magento-2

Automatic full indexing has been deprecated in 3.16 - you can now opt out of Algolia initiating full reindexing from indexer_reindex_all_invalid.
Added an "Indexing Manager" section within the Algolia configuration which disables automatic full reindexing by default and allows users to reactivate if needed.
Added an "Indexing Manager" page which shows the created indices for main entities (products, categories and pages) and corresponding stores with a link to directly check them on the Algolia dashboard along with a form to reindex those entities directly from the Magento admin.
CLI commands are now provided to run explicit full reindex of all entities and stores.
Products and CMS pages can now be reindexed directly from Magento admin grids.
The indexing queue cron job can now be configured from the Magento admin.
Dynamic faceting through Algolia merchandsiing rules is now supported in Magento via an opt-in feature flag.
No code redirects via merchandising rules in Algolia are now supported in Magento for both Autocomplete and InstantSearch. Support is enabled by default for Autocomplete.
Integration tests and unit tests added

Behavior of conjunctive vs disjunctive facets has been clarified.
Replica data patches and delete operations have been enhanced to handle potential latency when detaching from the primary index.
Prices are now indexed using store scoped currency codes.
Fixed WSOD error on invalid creds when using manual SKU indexer (also included in 3.15.1).

beforecontent.html is no longer used and has been deprecated. If you're overriding or referencing this file, please update your layout and customizations accordingly.
An additional separate crontab is no longer needed to run the indexing queue. Enable via admin config to run the queue using Magento's built-in cron.
BatchQueueProcessorInterface has been introduced to decouple Algolia operations for core Indexer models.
Magento will set a default renderingContent based on its configured facets. Be sure that "Facet Display" is supported by your Algolia plan before attempting to use.
Auto full indexing is disabled by default in this release. If you require this legacy feature then it can be re-enabled via the Magento admin under Stores > Configuration > Algolia Search > Indexing Manager
InstantSearch has been refactored to support customization via JavaScript mixins.
A new front end hook called beforeFacetInitialization has been added which allows a user to extend the functionality by adding, removing or modifying "builder" functions which are used to define a facet config that will drive the rendering of facets.
Removed InstantSearch enablement dependency in Magento admin to prevent losing facet and sorting config when disabling the feature.
InstantSearch has been updated to v4.78.
Autocomplete has been updated to v1.18.1.
PHP API client has been pinned to 4.18.3 (also included in 3.15.1).
