<h2 id="welcome">Welcome</h2>
<p>Welcome to the documentation home page for the Magento Enterprise Edition (EE) 1.13 and Community Edition (CE) 1.8 releases! Let's start out by telling you a little bit about them.</p>
<p>Magento recognizes that merchants and systems integrators require higher performance in key areas—such as product search, product browsing, and checkout. Merchants and integrators are now commonly coming to Magento with:</p>
<ul><li>Large databases (that is, more than one million products)</li>
<li>Heavy traffic volume</li>
<li>Frequent merchandising updates</li>
<li>Extensive marketing and promotion campaigns</li>
<li>Many web stores to address their customers' needs</li></ul>
<p>To address these ever-growing needs, Magento systematically examined performance and scalability characteristics. Our engineers continually measured performance on a range of environments and use cases to identify and remove bottlenecks, and then conducted extensive testing to confirm improvements.</p>
<p>We characterized performance based on variations in deployment and business configurations to ensure improvement for a range of merchant sizes and configurations.</p>
<p>In this release, we focused primarily on improvements to indexing, tax calculations, caching, and checkout performance.</p>
<p>We're excited about the changes you'll find, including:</p>
<ul><li>Reindexing (<em>Enterprise Edition only</em>):
<ul><li>Most indexing processes now run only to update products, categories, URL redirects, and so on that have changed—eliminating the need for manual full reindexing</li>
<li>Your Magento web store is not locked at any point during reindexing </li>
<li>Reindexing is now a background process.</li></ul>
</li>
<li>Caching (<em>Enterprise Edition only</em>):
<ul><li>Full page caching now invalidates only pages that are affected by product or category changes</li>
<li>Improved cache adapter for single-host systems</li>
<li>Additional option of using <a href="http://redis.io" target="_blank">Redis NoSQL</a> for cache and session storage in multi-host deployments (recommended for new deployments)</li></ul>
</li>
<li>EE customers also get <a href="{{ site.m1xgdeurl }}/ce18-ee113/EE113-benchmark.html" target="_blank">detailed performance and tuning guidelines</a> geared toward enterprise installations<!-- and <a href="#" target="_blank">best practices recommendations</a> based on Magento customer experience--></li>
<ul>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Sales, Value Added, and Fixed Product Tax calculations (<em>Magento CE and EE</em>):
<ul><li>Major improvements in the way sales tax is calculated. <!--For more information, see (<a href="http://www.magentocommerce.com/knowledge-base/entry/ce-18-later-release-notes#ce18-1800tax" target="_blank">CE</a>) and (<a href="http://www.magentocommerce.com/knowledge-base/entry/ee113-later-release-notes#ce18-1800tax" target="_blank">EE</a>).--></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Checkout performance (<em>Magento CE and EE</em>) achieved by:
<ul><li>Eliminating unnecessary calls to gift wrapping when loading the Shipping Method checkout step</li>
<li>Eliminating unnecessary RSS cache cleanups when RSS functionality is disabled</li>
<li>Eliminating unnecessary calls to the translation module when sending new order e-mails if the current locale is the same as the locale set in Magento</li>
<li>Improving the overall checkout process performance by loading the information for the current checkout step only</li>
<li>Improving the overall checkout process performance by loading the progress information for the current checkout step only</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
