Magento 2.1.18 is the final 2.1.x release. After June 2019, Magento 2.1.x will no longer receive security patches, quality fixes, or documentation updates.
To maintain your site's performance, security, and PCI compliance, upgrade to the latest version of Magento.

Magento Open Source 2.1.0 Release Notes

We are pleased to present Magento Open Source (formerly Community Edition) 2.1.0 General Availability. This release includes numerous functional fixes and enhancements.

Backward-incompatible changes are documented in Magento 2.1 backward incompatible changes.

This version of the Magento Open Source 2.1.0 Release Notes varies from the version of the Release Notes that we published with the June 23, 2016 GA release. We’ve identified these changes in italics below. The code base has not changed.

Highlights

Magento Open Source 2.1.0 includes several new and exciting features:

  • PayPal enhancements include PayPal in-context checkout and saved credit cards. In-context checkout helps to increase conversion rates 69 bps by allowing shoppers to pay with PayPal without leaving the merchant’s site. PayPal saved credit cards boost repeat purchases by allowing merchants to securely store credit card information with PayPal so customers do not need to re-enter it in checkout or when reordering items from the Admin interface.

  • Braintree Hosted Fields securely collect all sensitive payment information in checkout so merchants can qualify for the simplest set of PCI compliance requirements. Merchants retain complete control over their checkout style and layout because Braintree gathers credit card data using small, transparent iframes that replace individual payment fields. Braintree settlement reports are now also conveniently available within the Magento Admin.

  • Improved management interfaces make it faster and easier to search for information in the Admin, set up global search synonyms, and create new product, category, and CMS content.

Security enhancements

This release includes enhancements to improve the security of your Magento application. While there are no confirmed attacks related to these issues to date, certain vulnerabilities can potentially be exploited to access customer information or take over administrator sessions. We recommend that you upgrade your Magento software to the latest version as soon as possible.
