Core

• Changed bundle loading order by the keys from \Shopware\Core\Framework\Plugin::getAdditionalBundles in \Shopware\Core\Framework\Plugin\KernelPluginLoader\KernelPluginLoader::getBundles to allow bundle loading prior the plugin itself

Upgrade Information

When you depend on a self-shipped bundle to already been loaded before your plugin, you can now use negative keys in getAdditionalBundles to express a different order. Use negative keys to load them before your plugin instance:

class AcmePlugin extends Plugin
{
    public function getAdditionalBundles(AdditionalBundleParameters $parameters): array
    {
        return [
            -10 => new DependencyBundle(),
        ];
    }
}
