You do nothing to get the benefit of the new system. [Overriding UI pages/components](https://docs.abp.io/en/abp/latest/UI/AspNetCore/Customization-User-Interface) are working just like before.
### Organization Unit System
[The Identity Module](https://docs.abp.io/en/abp/latest/Modules/Identity) now has the most requested feature: Organization Units!
Organization unit system is used to create a hierarchical organization tree in your application. You can then use this organization tree to authorize data and functionality in your application.
The documentation will come soon...
### New Blob Storing Package
We've created a new [Blob Storing package](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Volo.Abp.BlobStoring) to store arbitrary binary object. It is generally used to store files in your application. This package provides an abstraction, so any application or [module](https://docs.abp.io/en/abp/latest/Module-Development-Basics) can save and retrieve files independent from the actual storing provider.
See the [blob storing documentation](https://docs.abp.io/en/abp/latest/Blob-Storing) for more information.
### Oracle Integration Package for Entity Framework Core
### Oracle Integration Package for Entity Framework Core
We've create an [integration package for Oracle](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Volo.Abp.EntityFrameworkCore.Oracle.Devart), so you can easily switch to the Oracle for the EF Core. It is tested for the framework and pre-built modules.
[See the documentation](https://docs.abp.io/en/abp/latest/Entity-Framework-Core-Oracle) to start using the Oracle integration package.
### Automatically Determining the Database Provider
When you develop a **reusable application module** with EF Core integration, you want to develop your module **DBMS independent**. However, there are minor (sometimes major) differences between DBMSs. If you perform a custom mapping based on the DBMS, you can now use `ModelBuilder.IsUsingXXX()` extension methods:
if (modelBuilder.IsUsingPostgreSql()) //Check if using PostgreSQL!
{
b.Property(x => x.Number).HasMaxLength(20);
}
else
{
b.Property(x => x.Number).HasMaxLength(32);
}
});
}
````
Beside the stupid example above, you can configure your mapping however you need!
### ABP CLI: Translate Command
`abp translate` is a new command that simplifies to translate [localization](https://docs.abp.io/en/abp/latest/Localization) files when you have multiple JSON localization files in a source control repository.
The main purpose of this command is to **translate the ABP Framework** localization files (since the [abp repository](https://github.com/abpframework/abp) has tens of localization files to be translated in different directories).
It is appreciated if you use this command to translate the framework resources **for your mother language**.
See [the documentation](https://docs.abp.io/en/abp/latest/CLI#translate) to learn how to use it.
### The New Virtual File System Explorer Module
Thanks to [@liangshiw](https://github.com/liangshiw) created and contributed a new module to explore files in the [Virtual File System](https://docs.abp.io/en/abp/latest/Virtual-File-System). It works for MVC UI and shows all the virtual files in the application. Example screenshots:
We had a contribution in the previous release to support RTL languages and the Arabic localization for the MVC module. Now, the Angular UI also supports RTL and Arabic localization:

### Sample Application: SignalR with Tiered Architecture
Implementing SignalR in a distributed/tiered architecture can be challenging. We've created a sample application that demonstrate how to easily implement it using the [SignalR integration](https://docs.abp.io/en/abp/latest/SignalR-Integration) and the [distributed event bus](https://docs.abp.io/en/abp/latest/Distributed-Event-Bus) system.
See [the source code](https://github.com/abpframework/abp-samples/tree/master/SignalRTieredDemo) of the sample solution.
**An article is on the road** that will deeply explain the solution. Follow the [@abpframework](https://twitter.com/abpframework) Twitter account.
### About gRPC
Created a sample application to show how to create gRPC endpoints in your ABP based application.
See [the source code](https://github.com/abpframework/abp-samples/tree/master/GrpcDemo) on GitHub.
We were planning to create gRPC endpoints for all the pre-built application modules, but see that ASP.NET Core gRPC integration is not mature enough and doesn't support some common deployment scenarios yet. So, deferring this to the next versions ([see this comment](https://github.com/abpframework/abp/issues/2882#issuecomment-633080242) for more). However, it is pretty standard if you want to use gRPC in your applications. ABP Framework has no issue with gRPC. Just check the [sample application](https://github.com/abpframework/abp-samples/tree/master/GrpcDemo).
### Others
* [Time zone system](https://github.com/abpframework/abp/pull/3933) to support different time zones for an application.
* Support for [virtual path deployment](https://github.com/abpframework/abp/issues/4089) on IIS.
## What's New with the ABP Commercial 2.9
In addition to all the features coming with the ABP Framework, the ABP Commercial has additional features with this release, as always. This section covers the [ABP Commercial](https://commercial.abp.io/) highlights in the version 2.9.
### Organization Unit Management UI
### Chat Module Angular UI
### Easy CRM Angular UI
### Module Code Generation for the ABP Suite
### Lepton Theme
### Coming Soon: The File management Module
## About the Next Version: 3.0
We have added many new features with the v2.9. In the next version, we will completely focus on the **documentation, performance improvements** and and other enhancements as well as bug fixes.
For a long time, we were releasing a new feature version in every 2 weeks. We will continue to this approach after v3.0. But, as an exception to the v3.0, the development cycle will be ~4 weeks. **The planned release date for the v3.0 is the July 1, 2020**.
