Released on:
In this release, we focused on performance issues reported by clients running stores with a large number of products and translations, but everyone should notice performance improvements! Additionally, we have raised the supported PHP version to 8.4 and introduced beta support for PHP 8.5.
Performance Improvements
- Introduced the “Scoped Editor Sync” mode to improve performance when updating a variable product.
- Optimized the caching mechanism responsible for product review data. Every product page displayed on the frontend now loads faster.
- We improved the performance of the mechanism responsible for translating product images.
- Front-end visitor no longer generate unnecessary
get_refreshed_fragmentsAJAX requests. - Variable products with a large number of variations now load faster on the frontend with reduced server resource usage.
- We have raised the supported PHP version to 8.4 and introduced beta support for PHP 8.5.
Other Fixes
- The
[currency_switcher]shortcode now provides full functionality in every instance when embedded multiple times.
