release-notes	Magento Commerce 2.2.6 Release Notes

Patch code and release notes were published on September 18, 2018 and last revised September 21.

We are pleased to present Magento Commerce 2.2.6. This release includes 25 critical enhancements to product security, over 150 core code fixes and enhancements, and over 350 community-submitted pull requests.

Although this release includes these security enhancements, no confirmed attacks related to these issues have occurred to date. However, certain vulnerabilities can potentially be exploited to access customer information or take over administrator sessions, so we recommend that you upgrade your Magento software to the latest version as soon as possible.

See Magento Security Center for a comprehensive discussion of these issues. All exploitable security issues fixed in this release (2.2.6) have been ported to 2.1.15, 1.14.3.10, and 1.9.3.10, as appropriate.

Highlights

In addition to 25 critical security fixes, look for the following highlights in this release:

Core code highlights

This release includes significant performance improvements to the core Magento code:

Substantial improvements to performance

Performance-tuning enhancements focus on catalog indexing and include: 


* Category product indexer logic has been optimized, and re-indexing time has decreased up to 98%, from 40 minutes to one minute for 100,000 categories.  Previously, when your store contained many categories (100,0000), Magento could take up to 40 minutes to re-index product catalogs. * The `catalog:image:resize` command execution time has been reduced by up to 90% in the release. However, this improvement necessitates these additional steps after upgrading your Magento instance to 2.2.6:

* Remove   `pub/media/catalog/product/cache` . (Removing this folder frees up space.)

* Run `bin/magento catalog:image:resize`  to generate a new image cache.  (This step is necessary because we’ve changed the path to cached images and must remove the previously cached images.)

* The catalog rule re-indexing operation has been optimized, and the average re-indexing time (which depends on rule conditions) has improved by more than 80%. Previously, a full catalog rule re-index operation on a medium B2C store took more than 20 minutes. * The catalog price indexer is now scoped and multithreaded, which improves the performance of layered navigation, search, and indexing actions for Magento instances with multiple websites and stores. This makes it possible to parallelize catalog price indexing by websites and customer groups. To re-index in parallel mode, add the `MAGE_INDEXER_THREADS_COUNT` environment variable to `env.php`. * The time required to load category or product pages for products that are configured with many attributes (more than 500) has been significantly reduced. Refactoring the logic for product attribute retrieval has resulted in a reduction of load time of almost 90% for scenarios with a large number of product attribute sets. (Performance will not noticeably improve for deployments with only one attribute set configured with 500 attributes. However, deployments with many attribute sets that contain only a few attributes will show significant performance improvement. For example, a deployment with 100 attribute sets, each of which contains 50 attributes, might see a 40-90% reduction in load time.) * The time required to load a store’s home page has been reduced noticeably when the top menu contains many categories. (Load time is still affected by the number of categories and the structure of the top menu.) * Merchants can now improve store performance by disabling Magento Report functionality. A new configuration setting (**System Configuration:** **General** > **Reports** > **General Options**) allows merchants to disable Magento Reports, which is recommended practice if a merchant's business function does not require this capability.

Improvements to the reliability and ease of the checkout process

* A shopping cart’s contents remain constant even when the checkout page is repeatedly reloaded. Previously, if a customer reloaded the checkout page several times, Magento emptied the shopping cart, and the customer could not place the order. (This problem primarily affected stores running on HTTPS.) * Refreshing the checkout page no longer deletes the shipping address when a guest checks out. Previously, when the persistent shopping cart was enabled, refreshing the checkout page affected information entered into form fields for a guest checkout. * The speed at which Magento places an order is no longer affected by how many shipping methods are available. Previously, when a customer placed an order for which multiple shipping methods were available, Magento took more than 20 seconds to place the order.

Additional enhancements

* Configurable products are now sorted by visible prices as expected. Previously, sorting a catalog by price produced sort results that included the prices of out-of-stock products and disabled child products. * Magento no longer sends duplicate delete requests as a result of an unstable Internet connection. Previously, unintentional mass deletion of products sometimes occurred as a result of an unstable Internet connection.

Magento Cloud highlights

• We've added a Docker Compose configuration to the Cloud ece-tools repository for deploying a local development environment.

• Merchants can now change store locales without the exporting and importing configuration process.

• A new workflow lets merchant add a robots.txt file and generate a sitemap.xml file for a single domain configuration without requiring a change to the infrastructure.

• Merchants can now define multiple locales for each theme using the new SCD_MATRIX environment variable, which reduces the amount of theme files to deploy.

• Zero-downtime deployment has been implemented through a “connection holding” capability, which ensures no lost connections or site unavailability, providing smooth shopper experience even during deployments involving database schema changes.

• We've fixed an issue that caused downtime between the deploy and post-deploy phase. Now, the post_deploy phase begins immediately after the deploy phase ends.

Community contribution highlights

Highlights of community contributions include fixes that improve checkout flow and the sorting of simple products:

• Customers can now successfully complete an order when it contains a configurable product with an option that is deleted after the product has been placed in the shopping cart. Previously, the shopping cart could not load the shopping cart after the configurable option was deleted. Thanks to community member jonshipman! GitHub-15467

• Magento now maintains the default sort order for products (“newest first”) when you upgrade your Magento deployment. Previously, after upgrade, the default product order in categories changed from “newest first” to “oldest first”. Thanks to community member Danny Verkade! GitHub-15627

• Merchants can now successfully change the applied theme setting for a store view (Content > Design > Configuration). Thanks to community member Daniel Ruf! GitHub-14968

• Magento loads pages faster because it no longer redundantly calculates product taxes when loading category pages. Thanks to community member Jeroen! GitHub-14941

Core bundled extension highlights

This release includes many enhancements to our core bundled extensions:

Amazon Pay

Enhancements to Amazon Pay include these features:

• Implementation of the Magento payment provider gateway, which provides developers a mechanism for integrating stores with payment providers.

• Improved handling of virtual products.

• New entry in the Admin that allows Amazon Pay to be displayed in the list of payment options.

• Combined Synchronous, if possible and Asynchronous settings for authorization mode into one setting. Current settings are now Immediate (previously Synchronous) and Automatic (a combination of the previous Synchronous, if possible and Asynchronous).

dotmailer

Enhancements to dotmailer include these new features:

• You can now request and capture the consent of customers and guests using dotmailer’s new Consent Insight.

• You can import only those Magento contacts who have opted in (customer subscribers, guest subscribers, and other subscribers).

• A warning alerts you when you are about to sync non-subscribers into a dotmailer account.

• Improvements have been made to the retry process that results after a failed attempt to access EDC.

Klarna

Enhancements to Klarna include support for these new features:

• The Klarna Payments section now includes a link to Klarna automated onboarding and account sign in.

• If an approved order is later identified as fraudulent, Klarna notifies the merchant and requests that they try to stop the order from being delivered. In addition, Klarna attempts to cancel the order automatically by sending notification to the merchant. See Managing Your Account for more information.

• Shipping and discount order lines have been added to order management calls.

• Klarna now passes shipping details in capture requests.

• The Klarna API now returns the name and logo URL to use for each payment method instead of hard-coding the payment method names into the module.

For more information on these new features, see Klarna.

Magento Shipping

• Batch Processing provides merchants with the ability to

  • Specify and modify packages and experiences for orders assigned to a batch

  • Book shipments for a batch

  • Print all packing slips and printing labels for the batch

• New Shipment Reference field associates bookings between a carrier and a customer

Magento Social

Magento has removed the Magento Social Facebook integration, and no longer supports the extension.

Fixes

In addition to security enhancements, this release contains the following functional fixes.

Installation, setup, and deployment

* You can now use the `app:config:status` command to check whether configuration propagation is up-to-date. (This fix restores this command, which was inadvertently deleted in a previous release.) *Fix submitted by [Pieter Hoste](https://github.com/hostep) in pull request [15174](magento/magento2#15174. [GitHub-14104](magento/magento2#14104) * The `app:config:dump` command now has an argument that supports dumping only the specified settings that are required to prepare static content on a build system, not all system settings. This new option (`config-types`) makes it possible to dump scopes and themes automatically (which are needed for a build system) while managing system settings manually using `config:set --lock-config`. *Fix submitted by [Juan Alonso](https://github.com/jalogut) in pull request [12410](magento/magento2#12410. [GitHub-11396](magento/magento2#11396) * Configuration backend models are now populated as expected with all fieldset data, which makes it possible to access all configured values from a current group. [GitHub-16712](magento/magento2#16712) * The `magento-deploy-ignore` setting in `composer.json` now works as expected. Previously, files specified in this setting were overwritten during deployment. * The `timestamp` fields in `oauth_nonce` now include indexes to avoid deadlocks while erasing old records. *Fix submitted by [Carlos Lizaga](https://github.com/KarlDeux) in pull request [13328](magento/magento2#13328. [GitHub-10346](magento/magento2#10346) * Sorting has been disabled in the `glob` and `scandir` functions to improve performance. *Fix submitted by [Leandro F. L.](https://github.com/lfluvisotto) in pull request [16052](magento/magento2#16052. * The `nginx.config.sample` file no longer includes an option for PHP 5.x. (Magento 2.2.x is not compatible with PHP 5.x.) *Fix submitted by [Sean Breeden](https://github.com/sean-wcb) in pull request [16883](magento/magento2#16883. * Autoloading performance has improved on production environments as a result of the reduction in `file_exists` calls. *Fix submitted by [Pieter Hoste](https://github.com/hostep) in pull request [16435](magento/magento2#16435. * Setting deploy mode to production mode by using the `--skip-compilation` flag no longer clears generated code in `generated/code/` and `generated/metadata/`. *Fix submitted by [platformvaimo](https://github.com/platformvaimo) in pull request [16211](magento/magento2#16211. * We've made two changes to `Magento/Config` module: `Magento/Config/Test/Unit/Block/System/Config/Form/Field/ImageTest.php::testGetElementHtmlWithValue()` method no longer references a invalid backend model, and the anonymous function no longer has an unused `$data` in `Magento/Config/Model/Config/Importer.php`. *Fix submitted by [Marcel Hauri](https://github.com/mhauri) in pull request [15511](magento/magento2#15511. * The upgrade check implemented during setup now indicates success if the latest version of Magento is already installed. Previously, the message indicated that the latest product version was already installed was presented as error. *Fix submitted by [Daniel Ruf](https://github.com/DanielRuf) in pull request [15012](magento/magento2#15012. * The **Add Block Names to Hints** configuration setting has been renamed to **Add Block Class Type to Hints**. *Fix submitted by [Chris Pook](https://github.com/chris-pook) in pull request [14939](magento/magento2#14939. * The `cron:run` command now reads `cron/enabled` configuration setting and if this value is set to **1** (the default value), then the `cron:run` command will execute. A value of **0** determines that `cron:run` will not be executed, and prompts Magento to send the customer email indicating that `cron` is disabled. * New command-line interface (CLI) commands support setting and showing indexer dimension modes:

* `bin/magento indexer:set-dimensions-mode`  sets  indexer dimensions mode 

* `bin/magento indexer:show-dimensions-mode` shows dimensions mode of indexer

Amazon Pay

* Amazon Pay no longer appears as an option during checkout when a customer selects **Check Out with Multiple Addresses**. Previously, Magento displayed Amazon Pay as an option, even though Amazon Pay does not support multishipping. * You can now change and save Amazon Pay configuration settings from **Configuration** > **Sales** > **Payment Methods** > **Amazon Pay** when deploying Magento in a Cloud environment. Previously, Magento did not save changed settings.

B2B

* Company blocked warnings are no longer included in the source code. Previously, source code included these warning strings, which search indexers detected and treated as text. * Category pages now display as expected all products whose SKUs contain either single or double quotation marks. Previously, Magento threw an error when trying to set pricing and structure on a shared catalog when product SKUs contained these characters. * In multisite environments, you can now save the address of a company that is allowed only on the non-primary website. Previously, if a merchant tried to save a company address from the default website, Magento displayed this error, `Invalid value of "UA" provided for the `country_id` field`. * Access to the Companies resource can now be explicitly set on the Roles Resources page in Admin. Previously, this resource was available only to top-level administrators with all resources selected. * Magento now displays the correct product total price value on all websites in a B2B deployment. Previously, Magento did not apply cart price rules for product prices on non-primary websites, but instead displayed the product price assigned to products on the primary website to all websites. * When **Website Restrictions** are set to **Private Sales: Login Only**, access to the storefront is now restricted to customers who log in, and merchants can still create new companies in the Admin. Previously, when a merchant tried to create a company when this setting was enabled, Magento threw this error, `Can not register new customer due to restrictions are enabled`. * Configurable products can now be added to the requisition list directly from the Category page. * The `beforeSave` method on Braintree `CountryCreditCard` class now has a statement that supports `app:config:import`. Previously, Magento threw an exception during import if it encountered an empty field in the Braintree configuration file. *Fix submitted by [Mateusz Lerczak](https://github.com/bmxmale) in pull request [14829](magento/magento2#14829. * Guests can now view products as expected when shared catalogs are enabled. Previously, if a merchant added a product when shared catalogs were enabled, guest users could not view the product, even when shared catalogs were later disabled. * Company administrators can now use Quick Order to buy products. Previously, when a company administator tried to use Quick Order to buy products, Magento displayed this error: `The SKU was not found in the catalog`. * You can now successfully search for products when the **Shared Catalog** setting is enabled.

Bundle products

* Magento now successfully imports bundle products. Previously, bundle products were not visible in the product catalog, and were listed as out-of-stock on the storefront. * The `Magento_Bundle` module name has been added to the relevant template files to meet Magento standard coding format. *Fix submitted by [Namrata](https://github.com/sanganinamrata) in pull request [15825](magento/magento2#15825. * The `option` variable has been renamed to `quoteItemOption` to improve code readability in `app/code/Magento/Bundle/Model/Product/Type.php`. *Fix submitted by [Leandro F. L.](https://github.com/lfluvisotto) in pull request [16143](magento/magento2#16143. * Magento now accurately displays the status of bundle product stock when **Add to Cart** is enabled for bundle products. Previously, bundle products with the **User Defined** field unchecked could not be back ordered as expected.

GitHub-10061

Catalog

* The breadcrumbs component no longer relies on the `mageMenu` widget. *Fix submitted by [Vova Yatsyuk](https://github.com/vovayatsyuk) in pull request [15178](magento/magento2#15178. [GitHub-14987](magento/magento2#14987) * The `data-container` class name is now based on view mode. *Fix submitted by [Sunil](https://github.com/sunilit42) in pull request [15350](magento/magento2#15350. [GitHub-15319](magento/magento2#15319) * Breadcrumbs now work as expected when a product name contains quotation marks. Previously, the breadcrumbs on the product details page caused this syntax error to be thrown, `SyntaxError: Unexpected token x in JSON`. *Fix submitted by [Jignesh Baldha](https://github.com/jignesh-baldha) in pull request [15347](magento/magento2#15347. [GitHub-15037](magento/magento2#15037) * Disabling a product now removes it from the flat index as expected. *Fix submitted by [Mr. Lewis](https://github.com/lewisvoncken) in pull request [15019](magento/magento2#15019. [GitHub-14966](magento/magento2#14966) * The success message that Magento displays when a customer adds a product to the compare list now contains a link to the comparison list. *Fix submitted by [Andreas von Studnitz](https://github.com/avstudnitz) in pull request [13862](magento/magento2#13862. * Cache problems no longer occur when currencies are used without a currency symbol. *Fix submitted by [Dmytro Cheshun](https://github.com/dmytro-ch) in pull request [15902](magento/magento2#15902. * Catalog component blocks now contain correct return type suggestions, and typos have been corrected where needed in the PHPDocs. *Fix submitted by [Dmytro Cheshun](https://github.com/dmytro-ch) in pull request [15913](magento/magento2#15913. * Widget cache errors that resulted in one widget being loaded twice on the storefront have been resolved. *Fix submitted by [Alexandr Kozyr](https://github.com/AlexandrKozyr) in pull request [12764](magento/magento2#12764. [GitHub-4389](magento/magento2#4389) * Magento no longer makes redundant requests on the 'customer data' on the checkout page. *Fix submitted by [Andrey Bezyazychnyy](https://github.com/andrewbess) in pull request [14314](magento/magento2#14314. [GitHub-13765](magento/magento2#13765) * Administrators with permission to change product names on one website only cannot change product names on any other sites. Previously, an administrator with permission to change a product name on one site only could change product names on all websites in a multisite deployment. * Administrators with limited privileges can now save products as expected. * Magento now uses the current date as expected when setting the start date for a special price. Previously, Magento set the start date for a special price a few years in the future, which prevented the special price for being active. * Magento now reliably displays category images on the custom store view level. Previously, the category image on custom store view level alternately disappeared and appeared after every save operation. * Magento no longer removes downloadable product links after an attribute is updated. * Extra POST requests are no longer sent if the **Synchronize widget products with backend storage** option is set to **yes**. * You can now create a product date attribute that contains a day value than exceeds 12 (in the format dd/mm/yyyy). Previously, when you created a product attribute with a default date specifying a day greater than 12, Magento did not save the attribute, but instead displayed this error, `Invalid default date`. * You can now use the `Magento\Catalog\Model\ProductRepository` class to assign a product to one website as expected. Previously, using this class to save a product assigned the product to all existing websites, not just the specified one. * Images now load as expected on the product display page (PDP) when the image name contains double quotation marks. * The SEO-friendly URL for the Category page now works as expected. * The **Use Default Value** checkboxes in the design section of the category page are now enabled by default as expected. * Customers can now use the **Add Product By SKU** button to add configurable products to a sales order. * Empty dropdown or swatch type product attributes are no longer visible on the product page. * Attributes that have empty values across all products being compared are not displayed as rows in the comparison table. Previously, Magento displayed these attributes with an N/A value on the Compare Products page. * The Catalog page now displays breadcrumbs as expected. * Tiered pricing and quantity increments now work as expected with decimal-based inventories. * Magento now updates the `catalog_category_product_index` table as expected after a category is deleted. * Customizable options are now configured the same for all websites to which a product is added. Previously, when a merchant added a product with customizable options to an additional site, the options were corrupted. * The **Use default value** option is no longer unchecked unless the user overrides the value of the attribute in the store view scope. Previously, after creating an item, if the user changed to store view scope and did not make any modifications to the item's attributes and only clicked **Save**, most of the attributes that were set as **Use default value** became unchecked. * Category product indexer logic has been optimized, and re-indexing time has been noticeably reduced.  Previously, when you had many categories (100,000), Magento could take up to 40 minutes to re-index product catalogs. * Widget selection by Enabled Products no longer causes a fatal error on a storefront when the **Flat Product** is configured. * Merchants can now change the `status` and `update` attributes from the product page. Previously, Magento returned a 404 page when bulk enabling or disabling products in the Admin with a restricted user role that is limited to a specific website. * Magento now maintains the default setting for a product's `status` attribute when you create a new product. Previously, when creating a new product after changing the default option from Enabled to Disabled for this attribute, the status is incorrectly set to enabled by default. * The print preview of product comparison results (that is, the page of results that Magento produces when you click **Compare** after selecting two or more products) now displays as expected. Previously, only a subset of page elements was displayed. * Magento now maintains the correct dates in the results of filtering the Admin Product Grid Filter: Set Product as New from Date. [GitHub-11517](magento/magento2#11517) * As you type additional characters into the text field for a product's custom option, the hint showing the number of characters left before reaching the maximum now decreases as expected. * Merchants can now set custom option fixed prices with negative values in the Admin. [GitHub-7333](magento/magento2#7333) * You can now unset a category image on the store-view level when the image is defined on all store views. * The Catalog Products List widget can now display products on the storefront that have specific attributes. * The shopping cart now correctly displays images of configurable products that have only size options (that is, no color options). Previously, when a customer added a configurable product that had only size options to her shopping cart, the shopping cart did not display the expected product image. *Fix submitted by [Ronak Patel](https://github.com/ronak2ram) in pull request [16863](magento/magento2#16863. [GitHub-16843](magento/magento2#16843) * Magento now throws an exception as expected when a user tries to submit a product review without selecting a star rating. Previously, if a user submitted a product review without selecting a star rating, Magento assigned a one-star rating. * Magento now successfully displays product prices in currencies without minor units if the price amount is less then the number group size. [GitHub-11711](magento/magento2#11711) * Magento now displays the correct price on the product page for storefronts running Japanese locales. *Fix submitted by [Vishal Gelani](https://github.com/gelanivishal) in pull request [15909](magento/magento2#15909. [GitHub-11711](magento/magento2#11711) * Magento now correctly saves the value of a product's custom options. Previously, Magento saved all objects by using the same value object for all values. *Fix submitted by [Jeroen Van Leusden](https://github.com/JeroenVanLeusden) in pull request [13569](magento/magento2#13569. [GitHub-5067](magento/magento2#5067) * Magento now displays the product name as browser title as expected. Previously, the meta title tag was missing, which prevented Magento from displaying the product name. *Fix submitted by [Riccardo Tempesta](https://github.com/phoenix128) in pull request [15532](magento/magento2#15532. [GitHub-15501](magento/magento2#15501) * Magento now maintains the default products sort order of “newest first” when you upgrade your Magento deployment to 2.2.4. Previously, after upgrade, the default products order in categories changed from “newest first” to “oldest first”. *Fix submitted by [Danny Verkade](https://github.com/dverkade) in pull request [15629](magento/magento2#15629. [GitHub-15627](magento/magento2#15627) * Links on product pages are now linkable as expected. Previously, when Magento displayed a product page, none of the provided links were clickable. *Fix submitted by [simonjanguapa](https://github.com/simonjanguapa) in pull request [15687](magento/magento2#15687. [GitHub-15393](magento/magento2#15393) * Deprecated methods in Message Manager have been replaced with valid methods. *Fix submitted by [Tiago Sampaio](https://github.com/tiagosampaio) in pull request [16924](magento/magento2#16924. * Array short syntax usage has been standardized in these files: `app/code/Magento/Catalog/Test/Unit/Model/ProductTest.php`, `app/code/Magento/GroupedProduct/Test/Unit/Model/ProductTest.php`, and `setup/src/Magento/Setup/Module/Di/Code/Reader/FileScanner.php`. *Fix submitted by [Leandro F. L.](https://github.com/lfluvisotto) in pull request [16880](magento/magento2#16880. * The error message that Magento displayed when a duplicate error key occurred during product import has been improved. *Fix submitted by [Vishal Gelani](https://github.com/gelanivishal) in pull request [16389](magento/magento2#16389. * We've removed the direct use of the object manager when saving Admin attribute sets. *Fix submitted by [AnshuMishra17](https://github.com/AnshuMishra17) in pull request [16217](magento/magento2#16217. * Breadcrumb JSON configuration has been moved to the view model and serialized using the Magento JSON serializer. *Fix submitted by [Diederick Bruin](https://github.com/diedburn) in pull request [15521](magento/magento2#15521. * `row_id` has been added to the flat action indexer, ensuring that index values are not set to `0` for new products when using index on save. Previously, if you used `\Magento\Framework\Api\SearchCriteriaBuilder`, and the flat `product row_id` is set to `0`, Magento did not show the product in the `getList` of the `ProductRepository`. *Fix submitted by [Mr. Lewis](https://github.com/lewisvoncken) in pull request [15010](magento/magento2#15010. * Magento no longer inserts redundant links to the homepage into breadcrumbs on the product page. *Fix submitted by [Vova Yatsyuk](https://github.com/vovayatsyuk) in pull request [14994](magento/magento2#14994. * Magento now correctly displays product information for products that have a negative price as a custom option. *Fix submitted by [Danny Verkade](https://github.com/dverkade) in pull request [15202](magento/magento2#15202. * Product names can now contain a double quotation mark character (`"`). Previously, when a product name contained this character, Magento threw a JavaScript error. *Fix submitted by [Vova Yatsyuk](https://github.com/vovayatsyuk) in pull request [15162](magento/magento2#15162. * Administrators who lack access to the CatalogRule module can now perform operations as expected in the Admin cart price rule edit page. *Fix submitted by [Neos2007](https://github.com/Neos2007) in pull request [14886](magento/magento2#14886. * Magento now updates product options and quantity by checking the item ID when updating a cart that contains configurable products with different options. *Fix submitted by [Nitin Khalasi](https://github.com/nit-it) in pull request [14765](magento/magento2#14765. * Product meta descriptions no longer contain unnecessary HTML tags. *Fix submitted by [David Windell](https://github.com/davidwindell) in pull request [14538](magento/magento2#14538. * Attributes that have empty values across all products being compared are not displayed on the Compare Products page as rows in the comparison table. Previously, these attributes were displayed with a value of **N/A**. * Magento now maintains the correct dates in the results of filtering the Admin Product Grid Filter: Set Product as New from Date. [GitHub-11517](magento/magento2#11517) * Company Admin can now use Quick Order to buy products. Previously, when a company administator tried to use Quick Order to buy products, Magento displayed this error: `The SKU was not found in the catalog`.

CAPTCHA

Previously, the `Magento_theme` module was loaded too late, which resulted in unexpected display issues. * Corrected use statements and return values in `AggregationInterface`. *Fix submitted by [Yaroslav Rogoza](https://github.com/rogyar) in pull request [14893](magento/magento2#14893.

Configurable products

* Customers can now successfully complete checkout when their order contains a configurable product with a configurable option. Previously, customers could not check out when there is a configurable product in the cart with a configurable option, which is now deleted, shopping cart could not be loaded. *Fix submitted by [jonshipman](https://github.com/jonshipman) in pull request [15468](magento/magento2#15468. [GitHub-15467](magento/magento2#15467) * Magento now displays the manufacturer attribute on the Admin on the Catalog page for configurable products. Previously, Magento displayed these attributes on the simple products catalog page, but not on the configurable products catalog page. * Configurable products are now sorted by only visible prices as expected. Previously, sorting a catalog by price resulted in sort results that included the prices of out-of-stock products and disabled child products. * When two simple products of a configurable product have different prices, Magento now uses the lowest price as the default price on the product detail page. Previously, if one of the simple products had price=0, Magento did not use it as the default. *Fix submitted by [Torrey Tsui](https://github.com/torreytsui) in pull request [16540](magento/magento2#16540. * The missing check for a `false` value has been added to `ConfiguredRegularPrice`. Previously, when the parent method returned false, Magento threw this fatal error: `NOTICE: PHP message: PHP Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: Argument 1 passed to Magento\Catalog\Pricing\Price\ConfiguredOptions::getItemOptionsValue() must be of the type float, boolean given, called in /app/vendor/magento/module-catalog/Pricing/Price/ConfiguredRegularPrice.php on line 74 and defined in /app/vendor/magento/module-catalog/Pricing/Price/ConfiguredOptions.php:24`. *Fix submitted by [Tibor Kotosz](https://github.com/tkotosz) in pull request [15129](magento/magento2#15129. * Fixed the DocBlock for `hasInvoices()`, `hasShipments()`, and `hasCreditmemos()` in `app/code/Magento/Sales/Model/Order.php`. *Fix submitted by [Lyzun Oleksandr](https://github.com/nuzil) in pull request [16554](magento/magento2#16554. * Fixed type hints and docs for the Downloadable Samples block. *Fix submitted by [Björn Kraus](https://github.com/nuzil) in pull request [16408](magento/magento2#16408.

Cookies

* Magento now responds to a customer accepting a cookie notice by simply hiding the notice. Previously, Magento reloaded the entire site when a user accepted the cookie notice. *Fix submitted by [Torben Höhn](https://github.com/torhoehn) in pull request [16890](magento/magento2#16890.

Customer account

* Magento no longer logs out a customer after a successful password change. * Magento no longer displays the State/Province instead of the State field on U.S. customer address forms. * Customer attributes are now correctly validated on the Admin Order form. Previously, Magento validated attributes\length after an order has been submitted, but not on the Admin Order form. * Customers no longer lose their session when they switch stores on different domains. * Non-U.S. and non-Canadian addresses that are displayed in the **Address Book summary** field now display the State/Province values as expected if that information was provided. * The checkout page no longer displays custom address attributes when **Show on frontend** is set to **no**. * Magento now displays the default value for a new Customer attribute that is created from the Admin. Previously, Magento set this value to **no** by default. * Administrators can see all customers when the **Share Customer Accounts** value is set to Global. * User login email validation no longer fails if the field contains a leading or trailing space on Internet Explorer 11.x. *Fix submitted by [Piyush Dankhara](https://github.com/dankhrapiyush) in pull request [15365](magento/magento2#15365. [GitHub-6058](magento/magento2#6058) * Customer accounts are now unlocked as expected after a password reset. *Fix submitted by [Andrea Gaspardo](https://github.com/andreagaspardo) in pull request [15255](magento/magento2#15255.

Previously, this action was not completed, and Magento behaved unpredictably. *Fix submitted by [Joseph Maxwell](https://github.com/JosephMaxwell) in pull request [16254](magento/magento2#16254. * The `customer.account.dashboard.info.extra` block has been moved to contact information from the newsletter section in `app/code/Magento/Customer/view/frontend/templates/account/dashboard/info.phtml`. *Fix submitted by [Jeroen](https://github.com/JeroenVanLeusden) in pull request [14923](magento/magento2#14923.

Directory

dotmailer

• The ROI tracking feature now tracks order events properly.

• The importer now works as expected.

• Catalog sync now syncs all products across all created collections when it is configured to sync on the store level. 

• The validation process for new subscribers no longer permits subscribers to be enrolled multiple times into the new subscriber program.

• Unexpected errors during subscriber or customer creation no longer occur.

* A merchant can now successfully create a new user and displays the appropriate welcome message. Previously, Magento threw an error during the creation of a customer or subscriber, although the new user/subscriber was created.

EAV

* Magento now displays the fixed product tax attribute label as expected according to the specified store view. * Magento now correctly renders multiselect product attributes with a custom source model in `adminhtml`. Previously, the selected value was saved the first time in the `catalog_product_entity_varchar` table, and the attribute was added to the `eav_attribute` table, but the selected options were not highlighted against the attribute.

Frameworks

* `@api` annotation has been added to the `magento/framework` component of the Filter Group and Sort Order classes. *Fix submitted by [Ronak Patel](https://github.com/ronak2ram) in pull request [16845](magento/magento2#16845. * `app/code/Magento/Theme/etc/di.xml` now uses `Translate` instead of `TranslateInterface`. *Fix submitted by [Wouter Samaey](https://github.com/woutersamaey) in pull request [17124](magento/magento2#17124. * Classes with methods that contain variadic arguments can be also used in proxy classes. *Fix submitted by [Vishal Gelani](https://github.com/gelanivishal) in pull request [16080](magento/magento2#16080. * The annotation in `_toOptionArray - lib\internal\Magento\Framework\Data\SearchResultProcessor.php` has been corrected. *Fix submitted by [Namrata](https://github.com/sanganinamrata) in pull request [15892](magento/magento2#15892. * Scheduled XML sitemap generation now works as expected. Previously, you could schedule sitemap generation (**Admin** > **Store** > **Configuration** > **Catalog** > **XML sitemap**), but Magento would not generate the sitemap. *Fix submitted by [James Halsall](https://github.com/jameshalsall) in pull request [14822](magento/magento2#14822. [GitHub-5768](magento/magento2#5768) * In multi-site deployments, a customer requesting a password reset on a non-default store should receive the password reset email from the non-default, not the primary, store. Previously, this password reset email was sent from the default store. *Fix submitted by [Rodrigo Mourão](https://github.com/rodrigowebjump) in pull request [14800](magento/magento2#14800. [GitHub-5726](magento/magento2#5726) * The `trigger_recollect` quote attribute no longer causes a time out. *Fix submitted by [Philipp Sander](https://github.com/philippsander) in pull request [14719](magento/magento2#14719. [GitHub-9580](magento/magento2#9580) * `Framework\Math\Random` now uses PHP 7.x features, including `random_bytes` and `random_int`. * The `catalog:image:resize` command execution time has been reduced by up to 90% in the release. However, this improvement necessitates these additional steps after upgrading your Magento instance to 2.2.6:

* Remove   `pub/media/catalog/product/cache`. (Removing this folder frees up space.)

* Run `bin/magento catalog:image:resize`  to generate a new image cache.  (This step is necessary because we’ve changed the path to cached images and must remove the previously cached images.)

* We've fixed a display error that occurred when both a Critical Admin Notification and Release Notification window were opened. * Changes that were made to file permissions for `lib/internal/Magento/Framework/View/Asset/Merged.php` and its associated test that were made in an earlier release have been reverted. *Fix submitted by [Ihor Sviziev](https://github.com/ihor-sviziev) in pull request [16937](magento/magento2#16937. * The constructor in `Magento\Webapi\Model\Soap\Fault.php` now assigns `$exception->getOriginator()` to `_soapFaultCode` instead of to the dynamical property `_soapCode`. *Fix submitted by [Marcel Hauri](https://github.com/mhauri) in pull request [15515](magento/magento2#15515. * Corrected annotation in `_toOptionArray` in `lib/internal/Magento/Framework/Data/Collection/AbstractDb.php`. *Fix submitted by [Sanjay Patel](https://github.com/sanjay-wagento) in pull request [15336](magento/magento2#15336. * The invoice table now displays the correct shipping and handling for a partial items invoice. *Fix submitted by [Ankur Raiyani](https://github.com/ankurvr) in pull request [14795](magento/magento2#14795. * The return values from the `usort` and `value_compare_func` function now matches the PHP documentation for these functions. *Fix submitted by [luke-denton-aligent](https://github.com/luke-denton-aligent) in pull request [14726](magento/magento2#14726. * MySQL adapter can now reconnect successfully when using a nonstandard port. Previously, Magento threw this error, `Port must be configured within host parameter`. *Fix submitted by [Julien ANQUETIL](https://github.com/julienanquetil) in pull request [14753](magento/magento2#14753.

Application framework

* You can now manually add a parameter to `app/etc/env.php: user_admin_email`. When an administrator is created, Magento sends an email to default store's email and, if present, to the email address defined in `user_admin_email`. * Magento now removes unneeded PDF files after generation. Previously, Magento saved a copy of every generated invoice PDF in `/var`. *Fix submitted by [Yaroslav Rogoza](https://github.com/rogyar) in pull request [16401](magento/magento2#16401. [GitHub-3535](magento/magento2#3535), [GitHub-14517](magento/magento2#14517) * Logs now indicate when Magento is in maintenance mode, which will help the debugging process. *Fix submitted by [Ethan Yehuda](https://github.com/Ethan3600) in pull request [16840](magento/magento2#16840.

JavaScript framework

* `lib/web/mage/dropdowns.js` no longer fails when autoclose is set to **true**. *Fix submitted by [Brian LaBelle](https://github.com/brian-labelle) in pull request [15499](magento/magento2#15499. [GitHub-15469](magento/magento2#15469) * You can now view an entire zoomed product image in Fotorama fullscreen from the FireFox browser. Previously, the image jumps and the user cannot view all portions of the image. [GitHub-7978](magento/magento2#7978)

Web API framework

* The `array_push `function has been added to the list of forbidden functions. *Fix submitted by [Leandro F. L.](https://github.com/lfluvisotto) in pull request [16144](magento/magento2#16144. * A generated admin API token no longer expires immediately. Previously, when you created a token for an Admin user and have set **Admin Token Lifetime (hours))** to empty, Magento denied access because the token immediately expired. *Fix submitted by [Maikel Martens](https://github.com/krukas) in pull request [15598](magento/magento2#15598. [GitHub-15564](magento/magento2#15564) * The `GET /V1/returns?searchCriteria` endpoint retrieves `tracks` arrays as expected. * The `GET /V1/returns/:id` endpoint retrieves `tracks` arrays as expected. * `catalogProductAttributeRepository` now returns the `frontend_labels` value as expected.

Cache framework

* Magento no longer throws an exception when deploying static content on a deployment where Redis is used for cache management. See "Redis and static-content deployment" in [Redis troubleshooting](https://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.2/cloud/trouble/redis-troubleshooting.html) for more information. [GitHub-9287](magento/magento2#9287) * When a layout is loaded from the cache, Magento now repopulates the list of applied layout handles to prevent any chance of a layout handle being reapplied later. *Fix submitted by [Scott Buchanan](https://github.com/scottsb) in pull request [12314](magento/magento2#12314.

Dashboard

* The dashboard now displays the correct order amount on orders when deploying Magento on multiple storefronts with different currencies. *Fix submitted by [Ankur Raiyani](https://github.com/ankurvr) in pull request [15661](magento/magento2#15661. [GitHub-15660](magento/magento2#15660)

General

* Magento now uses the correct amounts when creating a credit memo for an order that was placed using store credit, a gift card, or reward points. * Magento no longer sends duplicate delete requests as a result of an unstable Internet connection. Previously, unintentional mass deletion of products sometimes occurred as a result of an unstable Internet connection. * You can now successfully save a product video for one store view in deployments that have several store views. Previously, when you saved a product video for one store view, Magento saved it for all store views, although customers could play the video on the original store only. * Customer data is now fully loaded after restarting the browser during an unexpired user session. Previously, the `section_data_ids` section of the session cookie was not properly completed. [GitHub-14912](magento/magento2#14912) * We've fixed an issue with unoptimized SQL queries in customer segments. Previously, the customer segment was not saved, and MySQL crashed. * When a customer creates a product review, the link to the product from the review in the customer's **My Account** > **My Product Review** is now SEO friendly. * The My Invitations page now accurately displays the reward points amount in numbers. Previously, this page displayed the special character `%` instead of numbers. * The Enterprise Reward refund logic no longer permits administrators to grant double refunds. * We moved the `isAllowed` method from `AccessChangeQuoteControl` to a separate service to optimize the logic that supports using recurrent payments in combination with pre-ordered products. *Fix submitted by [Jeroen Van Leusden](https://github.com/JeroenVanLeusden) in pull request [12566](magento/magento2#12566. * The attribute checking logic has been optimized by reducing redundant checks. *Fix submitted by [Freek Vandeursen](https://github.com/FreekVandeursen) in pull request [11554](magento/magento2#11554. * Magento no longer validates customer address attribute value length when the minimum/maximum length fields are not displayed on the Admin. * The dropdown menu is now positioned as expected under the link on the UI Component listing. *Fix submitted by [Ankur Raiyani](https://github.com/ankurvr) in pull request [15661](magento/magento2#15661. [GitHub-15660](magento/magento2#15660) * The timestamp field now includes indexes, which reduces the chances of deadlocks that can occur while erasing old records. *Fix submitted by [Carlos Lizaga](https://github.com/KarlDeux) in pull request [13328](magento/magento2#13328. [GitHub-10346](magento/magento2#10346) * `setCateroryIds([])` has been corrected to `setCategoryIds([])` throughout the test suites. *Fix submitted by [Neeta Kangiya](https://github.com/neeta-wagento) in pull request [15621](magento/magento2#15621.

See [New Relic Reporting]( https://docs.magento.com/m2/ce/user_guide/reports/new-relic-reporting.html?Highlight=New%20Relic%20service). *Fix submitted by [Max Chadwick](https://github.com/mpchadwick) in pull request [12935](magento/magento2#12935. * Table alias prefixes in field mappings for customer group filter and sorting processors that were previously missing have been restored. Previous to this restoration, Magento threw this error when a merchant opened **Admin** > **Customers** > **All Customers**: `SQL Error: ambiguous column 'customer_group_id' in 'All customers' page in admin when extension attribute table is joined`. *Fix submitted by [Maksim Gopey](https://github.com/Radio) in pull request [15826](magento/magento2#15826. * `.limiter` now has the same parent selectors as `.pages`, which prevents clashes between styles and layouts. Previously, `.limiter` float was too generic. *Fix submitted by [Hitesh](https://github.com/hitesh-wagento) in pull request [15878](magento/magento2#15878. * The default `FormElementDependenceController` configuration is now extended by custom configuration rather than overridden. *Fix submitted by [Valerij Ivashchenko](https://github.com/likemusic) in pull request [16001](magento/magento2#16001. * `inline-block` issues with space and font-size in the Name form have been resolved. *Fix submitted by [Daniel Ruf](https://github.com/DanielRuf) in pull request [16048](magento/magento2#16048. * Alignment and layout issues on home and category pages of the Hot Seller section have been resolved. *Fix submitted by [Chirag Matholiya](https://github.com/chirag-wagento) in pull request [15893](magento/magento2#15893.

[GitHub-11717](magento/magento2#11717) * Changed the **My Dashboard** string to **My Account** in multiple files. *Fix submitted by [Daniel Ruf](https://github.com/DanielRuf) in pull request [16009](magento/magento2#16009. * Corrected the annotation to the `formatDateTime` function in `lib/internal/Magento/Framework/Stdlib/DateTime/TimezoneInterface.php` file. *Fix submitted by [Sanjay Patel](https://github.com/sanjay-wagento) in pull request [15602](magento/magento2#15602. * The `clickableOverlay` option now works as expected. *Fix submitted by [virtua-pmakowski](https://github.com/virtua-pmakowski) in pull request [15172](magento/magento2#15172. [GitHub-7399](magento/magento2#7399) * The Instant Purchase module now works as expected. Previously, the `get($type)` method in `/Magento/InstantPurchase/Model/ShippingMethodChoose/DeferredShippingMethodChooserPool.php` threw an exception without showing the shipping method $type as it was hardcoded as 'chooser'. *Fix submitted by [Marcel Hauri](https://github.com/mhauri) in pull request [15258](magento/magento2#15258. * Template files now follow Magento standard coding format. *Fix submitted by [Vishal Gelani](https://github.com/gelanivishal) in pull request [15398](magento/magento2#15398. * Corrected `viewModel` to `view_model` where needed in `\Magento\Backend\Block\Template`. *Fix submitted by [Abhishek Jakhotiya](https://github.com/Jakhotiya) in pull request [15067](magento/magento2#15067. * Non-well-formed numeric values that were encountered in `app/code/Magento/Directory/Model/Currency.php` have been resolved. *Fix submitted by [Mateusz Lerczak](https://github.com/bmxmale) in pull request [14833](magento/magento2#14833. * The `README` file for the `magento2` repository now has Maintainers and Contributors sections. *Fix submitted by [Stanislav Idolov](https://github.com/sidolov) in pull request [14790](magento/magento2#14790. * The documentation for `AdapterInterface::update` has been improved. *Fix submitted by [Navarr Barnier](https://github.com/navarr) in pull request [14769](magento/magento2#14769. * The product video feature is now GDPR-compliant.

Gift cards

* Magento now displays the **Credit Memo** link at the top of the page for orders with a total of 0 (zero). Previously, this link was missing, which prevented users from creating a credit memo for the order. * You can now save gift cards without the price being changed on the Admin to an unacceptable format. Previously, Magento tried to save amounts in unacceptable formats (such as the inclusion of a comma in a four-digit price), which triggered an error. * Magento no longer permits users to save a new gift card without first completing the required values. Previously, when creating a gift card, users could save the card without having designated an amount, but the card could not be purchased. Magento also created a `report.CRITICAL: Warning` error message in the `system.log`. * Orders now retain gift message information on both item and order level. Previously, gift messages disappeared from an order when a customer logged into his account during checkout. * Magento now maintains relationships between new gift card accounts when a customer purchases several gift cards in the same order. * Magento now refunds only the exact amount used on a gift card if only the part of the gift card was used. Previously, when a customer used a gift card account code to partially pay for an order, and Magento subsequently created a credit memo for a portion of the order, the full amount of the gift card was refunded. * Magento now generates the same number of gift card codes when the full order is invoiced as the customer selected when creating an order. Previously, for orders that included both physical products and multiple gift cards, the number of gift card codes generated on an order corresponded to the quantity of the previous physical line items that the user had added to the cart before adding gift cards.

Gift message

* Orders now retain gift message information on both item and order level. Previously, gift messages disappeared from an order when a customer logged into his account during checkout.

Google Analytics

* Google analytics pageview is no longer triggered twice. *Fix submitted by [Torben Höhn](https://github.com/torhoehn) in pull request [15765](magento/magento2#15765. [GitHub-12221](magento/magento2#12221) * `Magento\GoogleAnalytics\Observer\SetGoogleAnalyticsOnOrderSuccessPageViewObserver` is now covered by unit tests. *Fix submitted by [Yaroslav Rogoza](https://github.com/rogyar) in pull request [17137](magento/magento2#17137.

Google Tag Manager

* The `addToCart` event triggers on the Google Task Manager console only when an item is added to the cart. Previously, the event was triggered before the cart was updated. * Google Analytics events are now triggered as expected. Specifically, the `addToCart` and `removeFromCart` events are not triggered until after a customer adds a product to the mini cart. * Magento now accurately updates the mini cart when a customer removes a product while accessing a storefront using Internet Explorer 11.x. Previously, when a customer removed a product from the mini cart, Magento did not remove the product but instead threw this error, `(SCRIPT438: Object doesn't support property or method 'find'. File: sidebar.js, Line: 237, Column: 13 )`. * Google Tag Manager product category data is now fully reported. Previously, the Google Tag Manager product category (Enhanced Ecommerce) data did not report all information.

HTML

* Guest users can now sign up for newsletters for multiple stores. Previously, when a guest user signed up for a newsletter from multiple stores, Magento sent a subscription confirmation message, but did not successfully subscribe the user. * Magento now correctly updates newsletter subscriptions when the customer is registered on two stores.

Payment methods

Braintree

* You can now cancel an order that was placed with Braintree when the Braintree authorization had expired. * All invoices now have the merchant account ID set in the store configuration for the Braintree payment method. Previously, the default merchant account ID was sent to Braintree for any subsequent partial order invoices after the initial invoice is generated. * Braintree configuration (`app/code/Magento/Braintree/etc/adminhtml/system.xml`) now contains `showInStore` attributes. *Fix submitted by [Andreas Schrammel](https://github.com/aschrammel) in pull request [16458](magento/magento2#16458. * Magento now retains the correct address information when a customer using Braintree's **Pay with PayPal** button to complete an order navigates back to the shipping step and changes the shipping address fields. *Fix submitted by [Vova Yatsyuk](https://github.com/vovayatsyuk) in pull request [15133](magento/magento2#15133.

PayPal

* Customers can now continue creating an order after a PayFlow Pro payment has been declined. Previously, under these circumstances. the customer could not continue his purchase. * Paypal Onboarding has been configured to work for merchants from countries other than the United States. * Magento now accurately displays the status of PayPal orders. Previously, the status of PayPal orders was displayed only as **Processing**. * Magento no longer sends duplicate order confirmation emails when a customer uses PayPal Express to complete an order. *Fix submitted by [Rocket Web](https://github.com/rocketweb) in pull request [14820](magento/magento2#14820. * Tax amount calculation for payments processed through PayPal now works as expected.

[GitHub-13460](magento/magento2#13460) * You can now cancel an order placed through Cybersource when the fraud filters are triggered. * Magento now emails customer order confirmations for orders that are placed through Worldpay. * Magento now correctly applies free shipping to an order after the customer applied the free shipping code during checkout. * Magento no longer sends Admin orders to Signifyd for review when Signifyd is disabled on the website on which the administrator is logged in. * Magento now successfully creates shipping labels for a return merchandise authorization (RMA) when using FedEx Smart Post as the shipping option. Previously, Magento threw an error under these circumstances. * Magento now sends email about payment failures to customers. Previously, Magento did not send a customer email, but instead logged an error in `support.log`, and displayed this message on the storefront, **Transaction has been declined. Please try again later**. * Magento no longer throws an error when multiple payment methods are enabled. Previously, when a merchant tried to enable more than one payment method from the Admin, Magento displayed this error in the console, `Found elements with non-unique id billing-address-form`. *Fix submitted by [Neeta Kangiya](https://github.com/neeta-wagento) in pull request [15349](magento/magento2#15349. [GitHub-15348](magento/magento2#15348) * Magento now sends order confirmation emails as expected for orders purchased with WorldPay. * A type error in the payment void method of the Authorizenet module has been fixed. *Fix submitted by [Oleh Kravets](https://github.com/xpoback) in pull request [16194](magento/magento2#16194. [GitHub-16184](magento/magento2#16184)

Pagecache

* Full-page cache now works as expected in multistore deployments. Previously, when you opened the URL of a non-default store in a multistore deployment, full-page cache did not return the URL.

Performance

* The catalog rule re-indexing operation has been optimized, and average re-indexing time (which depends on rule conditions) has improved by more than 80%. Previously, a full catalog rule re-index operation on a medium B2C store took more than 20 minutes. * Merchants can now improve store performance by disabling Magento Report functionality if business function does not require this capability. A new configuration setting (**System Configuration**: **General** > **Reports** > **General Options**) allows merchants to disable Magento Reports, which is recommended practice if a merchant's business function does not require this capability. * You can change store locale without the exporting and importing configuration process. While Magento is in Production and the `SCD_ON_DEMAND` is enabled, the Magento store and admin locale options are available. See [Change locales](https://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.2/cloud/live/sens-data-over.html#change-locales). * The time required to load category or product pages for products that are configured with many attributes (more than 500) has been significantly reduced. Refactoring the logic for product attribute retrieval has resulted in a reduction of load time of almost 90% for certain scenarios. * The time required to load a store’s home page has been reduced noticeably when the top menu contains many categories. (Load time is still affected by the number of categories and the structure of the top menu.) * The speed of catalog price rule save operations has been improved by these changes:

* elimination of unnecessary reindexing  

* improvement to the way that the `getMatchingProductIds` function fetches products, which has eliminated unnecessary checks of the data set. *Fix submitted by [Andrey Zabara](https://github.com/chrom) in pull request [14707](https://github.com/magento/magento2/pull/14707)*. 

* The ID to SKU lookup process for tier prices has been optimized. Previously, with a large number of tier or group prices, each tier would separately make a database query to look up the associated SKU. *Fix submitted by [Todd Christensen](https://github.com/toddbc) in pull request [14699](magento/magento2#14699.

Product video

* Magento now populates the YouTube video URL and Title fields with the same values as are populated on the default store view on multisite deployments. (These fields are global scope attributes and should be the same on all storefronts.) Previously, Magento left these fields blank in multisite deployments.

Quote

* Magento now displays the correct product price for an order created from the Admin in multisite deployments. Previously, when an order was created from the Admin in a multisite deployment where products were assigned different prices per store view, Magento defaulted to the product price of the primary storeview if the order was edited or updated. *Fix submitted by [Riccardo Tempesta](https://github.com/phoenix128) in pull request [14904](magento/magento2#14904. [GitHub-14869](magento/magento2#14869) * Magento now successfully saves the value of `REMOTE_IP` when a customer uses an IPV6 (Internet Protocol version 6) address. Previously, this value was only partially saved in the `sales_order` and `quote` tables. *Fix submitted by [George Schiopu](https://github.com/georgeschiopu) in pull request [14976](magento/magento2#14976. [GitHub-10395](magento/magento2#10395) * Coupon codes now work for guest users through the web API as well as from the storefront. *Fix submitted by [Marcin Dykas](https://github.com/Hypo386) in pull request [15320](magento/magento2#15320. [GitHub-14056](magento/magento2#14056) * Magento no longer runs an SQL query on every item in the database when a quote is empty, which has improved the performance of the checkout process. *Fix submitted by [Sean Templeton](https://github.com/LordZardeck) in pull request [16675](magento/magento2#16675.

Reports

* Removed the unused class declaration from controller's index action and the unused code in the comment block from the template file in `app/code/Magento/Review/view/frontend/templates/redirect.phtml` and `app/code/Magento/Version/Controller/Index/Index.php`. *Fix submitted by [Yogesh Suhagiya](https://github.com/Yogeshks) in pull request [15173](magento/magento2#15173.

Rule

* A cart rule that uses a `subselection` condition now works as executed. Previously, cart rules with this condition automatically granted a discount. * The retrieval of first array elements in the following files has been improved: `app/code/Magento/Rule/Model/Action/AbstractAction.php` and `app/code/Magento/Rule/Model/Condition/Combine.php`. *Fix submitted by [Thomas Klein](https://github.com/thomas-blackbird) in pull request [16053](magento/magento2#16053. [GitHub-15940](magento/magento2#15940) * The condition category chooser now handles multiple nested categories as expected. Previously, if a cart rule contained several nested categories, no categories appeared on the page, the page became unresponsive, and eventually crashed. *Fix submitted by [Keith Bentrup](https://github.com/keithbentrup) in pull request [15265](magento/magento2#15265. [GitHub-15121](magento/magento2#15121)

Sales

* Order status now remains in the Complete state after Magento refunds store credit on a partial credit memo. Previously, under these circumstances, Magento changed the status of the order to Closed. * You can now create multiple credit memos in one session and save each successfully. Previously, Magento displayed this error when you tried to save a second credit memo after creating the first memo: `Could not save credit memo`. * Magento now displays any errors that occur during order creation in the browser console. Previously, Magento displayed this message: `Uncaught ReferenceError: order is not defined during order creation` instead of a specific error message. * The `POST /V1/shipment` endpoint processes `tracks` arrays as expected. * Magento no longer reverts to the country associated with the default website when a customer edits the billing address for an order. Previously, if a customer edited the shipping address for an order, Magento would reset the billing address to the default address specified for the default website. * Credit memo email template file incorrect object types have been corrected. Previously, when a merchant created a credit memo and checked the **Email** checkbox, Magento threw an error. *Fix submitted by [Joseph Maxwell](https://github.com/JosephMaxwell) in pull request [16438](magento/magento2#16438. * Performance issues that resulted from disabling invoice emails have been resolved. * The Invoices grid now reflects changes in invoice state as expected. *Fix submitted by [Jeroen](https://github.com/JeroenVanLeusden) in pull request [16286](magento/magento2#16286. * You can now set the `is_visible_on_front` parameter from the `addStatusHistoryComment` of the order mode.

[GitHub-7861](magento/magento2#7861) * You can now use an asterix when searching on customer names.

Elasticsearch

* Bundle products are now indexed as expected in Elasticsearch. * Elasticsearch now correctly calculates the relevance of quick search results according to selected attribute search weights.

Admin global search

* Admin global search preview now works as expected. Previously, this feature worked inconsistently, and search results differed depending on which area was being searched (for example, Products, Categories, or Customers). * The Admin global search now returns results that match the keyword for all available pages, or if a user searches in specific sections, the search feature now returns only the results that matched the key words in those specific sections. Previously, the Admin global search did not return results that matched the specified keywords and did not restrict results to specified sections. * Catalogs are now correctly filtered by the Admin search bar. Previously, if you attempted to use the Search tool in the Admin, and selected "XX in Products", Magento displayed the full catalog view without narrowing down the list. *Fix submitted by [Pavel](https://github.com/hannassy) in pull request 12735*.

Shipping

You can find Magento Shipping-specific release notes in [Magento Shipping Release Notes]({{page.baseurl}}/release-notes/ReleaseNotesMagentoShipping2.2.x.html).

* The free shipping cart price rule now works as expected when **UPS shipping method** is enabled and **Free Shipping** is set to "For matching items only". * The shipping progress dates displayed in tracking popup for FedEx shipping are now accurate.

Sitemap

* Sitemaps generated by `cron` no longer display `/pub/` in image URLs when `docroot` is set to `/pub`. Previously, if the `docroot` was set to `pub` and `BASE MEDIA URL` was not set, the cron-generated sitemap generated incorrect image URLs. * Magento now generates correct product URLs for sitemaps. Previously, when the **Use Categories Path for Product URLs** attribute was set to **no** in **Configuration** > **Catalog** > **Search Engine Optimization**, Magento generated the wrong product URL in the sitemap. * Images in XML sitemap are no longer always linked to the primary store in a multistore deployment. *Fix submitted by [Steven de Jong](https://github.com/StevenGuapaBV) in pull request [15689](magento/magento2#15689. [GitHub-15588](magento/magento2#15588) * Split sitemaps now use the index sitemap name as a prefix. Previously, when generating large sitemaps that result in a single index sitemap and several smaller split sitemap files, the split sitemap files did not use the same name prefix as the parent. *Fix submitted by [James Halsall](https://github.com/jameshalsall) in pull request [14836](magento/magento2#14836.

Staging

* Banners remain assigned to a cart rule after a staging Update is applied. Previously, a banner was unassigned from the cart rule after a staging update was applied. * Magento now rolls back updated changes to their pre-update state when a merchant deletes an active Scheduled Update. Previously, some products were removed from their assigned categories (and categories were removed from the Amdin) when an active product update was deleted. * You can now successfully re-order a configurable product. Previously, a schedule update for one configurable product affected other ordered configurable products. * Magento no longer unexpectedly locks up CMS pages when a merchant changes a scheduler end date. Previously, when a merchant updated the end date for a CMS page after the current scheduler ended, Magento generated an error, and the merchant could no longer access any CMS page from the Admin. * Merchants can now edit a schedule update as expected. Previously, updating schedule data removed the product from the Admin product list. * Magento no longer deletes products from the Admin product list after a merchant deletes its active schedule update. This deletion only appeared after the scheduled update time. * Magento no longer throws an error when a merchant edits a product from the Admin when reviews are disabled. *Fix submitted by [Oleksandr Kravchuk](https://github.com/swnsma) in pull request [70](magento/magento2#70. [GitHub-6264](magento/magento2#6264) * Scheduled updates to an existing group price or special price no longer remove the previously configured price. Previously, Magento removed the configured price or reverted the price to its original value after the scheduled update expired.

Store

* The `getUrlInStore()` method no longer returns URLs that contain the store code, which has shortened the extremely long URLs it previously returned. *Fix submitted by [Burlacu Vasilii](https://github.com/vasilii-b) in pull request [16468](magento/magento2#16468. [GitHub-16273](magento/magento2#16273)

Swatches

* The process of switching attribute input type has been fixed, which resolves multiple issues that customers were experiencing when working with swatches, including:

* inability to change attribute types from `swatch` to `dropdown`

* inability to remove swatches from existing products when changing an attribute type from `swatch`

* no updates to product attributes on the storefront. *Fix submitted by [Eugene Shab](https://github.com/eugene-shab) in pull request [12771](https://github.com/magento/magento2/pull/12771)*.

Translation

* The `translation.json` file now contains translatable strings for the phrases "Store Credit" and "Gift Card". Previously, these strings were not translated for the shopping cart, one-page checkout, or order view in the customer account on the storefront. * We've added client-side caching of `js-translation.js`. * Removed the unused translation for `comment` tag from these files: `app/code/Magento/Analytics/etc/adminhtml/system.xml`, `app/code/Magento/Catalog/etc/adminhtml/system.xml`, `app/code/Magento/Swatches/etc/adminhtml/system.xml`, and `app/code/Magento/Ups/etc/adminhtml/system.xml`. *Fix submitted by [Yaroslav Rogoza](https://github.com/rogyar) in pull request [15604](magento/magento2#15604. * Added language translation capability for `comment` tags in the `system.xml` file of the Signifyd module. *Fix submitted by [Yogesh Suhagiya](https://github.com/Yogeshks) in pull request [15364](magento/magento2#15364.

Known issue

The catalog:image:resize command execution time has been reduced by up to 90% in the release. However, this improvement necessitates these additional steps after upgrading your Magento instance to 2.2.6:

• Remove   pub/media/catalog/product/cache. (The path for cached images was changed in this release, which explains why you need to clean this directory after upgrade to free up space.)

• Run bin/magento catalog:image:resize to generate a new image cache. (This step is necessary because we’ve changed the path to cached images and must remove the previously cached images.)
