It is a slow period in B2C Commerce Cloud update land as no significant releases happen during the holiday period. But updates still occur in other places!
In this article, I consolidate all the updates I have found across the different areas encompassing Salesforce B2C Commerce Cloud.
SFRA v6.3.0
A maintenance release has happened with no more than updated dependencies. So nothing too exciting to mention here!
This usually means plugin cartridges (such as wishlist) have received updates, and the SFRA version has been “upped” to match.
In this case, it was a major update to plugin_slas.
PWA Kit v2.3.0
As expected, another big update hit the PWA Kit with quite an extensive changelog. The “spotlight” change is the added React Query support for the server side.
Some other noteworthy changes (besides bugfixes):
- New Einstein API activities
- Updated the demo ODS instance URL
- Performance improvement on the Managed Runtime
An upgrade guide is available if you are already working with the PWA Kit and need to update to this version.
Bugfixes
Even though there are no “big releases”, bugfix releases still happen in this period.
Account Manager
The Account Manager got some love again at the end of October (after my last release notes post).
- Security Fixes
- Bug Fixes
- Usability Improvements to the API Client List Page
- Updated API Client List Page
With the addition of two new columns and filters, the Account Manager API Client List page is now easier to use.
New Ideas
Some new ideas made their way to the IdeaExchange!
