Announcement: Code Freeze
Kibo has entered its "code freeze" for the peak holiday season, in which no more updates will be pushed to production tenants (with the exception of some necessary hotfixes). Changes will continue to be added to sandbox environments per the below schedule and will be released to production on January 21, 2025:
- Version 1.2442: October 29
- Version 1.2444: November 12
- Version 1.2446: November 26
- Version 1.2448: December 10
Production Sandbox Features
Catalog
- Discount UI Enhancements: The Discounts UI now displays columns for the new Code and Public Discount settings. The former is displayed by default, while the latter can be toggled on in the table column options. Additionally, these settings are available in the Advanced Filter options to search discounts based on those values.
Production Tenant Hotfixes
These bug fixes were also hotfixed into production tenants with Version 1.2440.
| Service | Resolution |
|---|---|
| Catalog | Discounts were not being applied to dynamic categories that specify a list of products in their expressions. This has been fixed so that discounts can be successfully applied to these categories as expected. |
| Fulfiller | If there was no default carrier selected for a location group, there were some issues with users being unable to select different carriers for different packages. The FFUI was still defaulting to one particular carrier. This has been fixed so that multiple carriers can be successfully selected for applicable packages. |
