Section titled “Storefront packages”

Feature

Section titled “Feature”

  • Added the analytics package, a typed event bus the cart, checkout, and quote features emit to
  • Added the consent package, one useConsent interface with Usercentrics and Cookiebot adapters

  • Added the chat-proxy, contentful-preview, and storyblok-preview packages
  • Added order history filters by state and date, and order search by SKU
  • Added a paginated, searchable company address book, and useAddressBook for the checkout
  • Added estimated shipping, reverse-charge, and export (0% VAT) rows to the cart, order, and quote summaries
  • Reworked the checkout: line items beside the summary, the address book in a drawer or dialog, and focus on the next step after Continue
  • Added a sticky total and checkout bar on narrow carts, and made CartGrid follow the cart’s own width
  • Added “order again”, the payment method, the carrier logo, tracking codes, and delivered items to the order detail, and a page-level action to the order confirmation

Changed

Section titled “Changed”
  • Made OrderDetail and QuoteDetail take their pay and order actions as nodes instead of callbacks, so pages stay Server Components (breaking: pass payAction, orderAction, or orderLink)
  • Renamed the order mutation error fields to orderErrors (breaking: upgrade the framework first)
  • Stopped selecting Order.currency (breaking: read the currency from an amount, such as order.total.gross.currency)
  • Made persisted document ids sha256:-prefixed hashes, matching GraphQL Codegen client-preset 6 (breaking: upgrade codegen alongside)
  • Made the QuantityStepper labels required, so they are always localized (breaking: pass the labels)

Fix

Section titled “Fix”
  • Fixed every add-to-cart creating a new cart
  • Fixed centered dialogs overflowing the screen, and their footer covering a focused field
  • Fixed the password reset confirmation never showing
  • Fixed unknown invoice and return statuses showing a translation key

Dependency

Section titled “Dependency”

Section titled “Framework packages”

Feature

Section titled “Feature”

Changed

Section titled “Changed”
  • Removed checkoutComplete (breaking: use orderPlace and paymentCreate), and renamed the order mutation error fields to orderErrors
  • Removed Order.currency (breaking: read the currency from an amount, such as total.gross.currency)
  • Moved the AWS Lambda entry points to cloud-adapter-aws, and initObservability and configureSentry to @evolve-framework/core/observability/configure, which keeps Sentry and OpenTelemetry out of the logger import (breaking: update the imports)

  • Made the commercetools products query work without the deprecated Product Projection Search
  • Made a business unit cart go through the associate endpoint (requires CreateMyCarts in the unit)
