Magento Commerce 2.1.11 Release Notes

Patch code and release notes were published on December 12, 2017.

Release notes updated December 19, 2017.

We are pleased to present Magento Open Source 2.1.11. This release includes both new features and many improvements. Check out the many community-contributed fixes!

Highlights

Look for the following highlights in this release:

New features

  • Support for the Indian Rupee (INR) in PayPal Express Checkout

  • New commands and functionality for the command-line interface. We’ve added interactivity to the admin:user:create command, and added the ability to handle CLI setup interactively (with prompts).

Fixes and enhancements (highlights)

  • Significant enhancements for payment methods. We’ve fixed an issue where some Braintree refunds did not work. Braintree online refunds now work when you are using two Braintree accounts on two separate websites.
  • Improvements to Visual Merchandiser. We’ve improved the performance of Visual Merchandiser when editing or saving products in large categories (more than 18,000 products per category).
  • Corrected sitemap generation. Magento no longer generates the sitemap in the wrong folder when vhost is connected to /pub. Previously, Magento generated the sitemap in the root folder instead of the pub folder. GitHub-2802
  • Magento now displays the correct price for a simple child product that has a price that is lower than other options (and for which no options on the configurable product have been selected). Previously under these circumstances, Magento displayed the lowest possible price, not the correct price, for the product.

Fixed issues

Setup

  • The /.user.ini and /pub/.user.ini files now specify a memory_limit value of at least 1G to 2G for debugging purposes. Fix submitted by Mr. Lewis in pull request 11761. GitHub-11322
  • Magento now downloads the backup .tgz file that you select for downloading. Previously, no matter which backup you selected, Magento downloaded the most recent backup. Fix submitted by Pieter Cappelle in pull request 11596. GitHub-10032

Cache

  • We’ve resolved an issue where store websites do not work when Redis cache is installed and the PhpRedis extension is enabled.

Catalog

  • A user who does not have permission to view a category (based on category permissions) can no longer view it in the menu even if it were cached.
  • You can now save a price of 0 (zero) for a custom option. Fix submitted by Raul Mateos in pull request 11844. GitHub-4808
  • Magento no longer changes a product image background to black no matter which color you configure. Fix submitted by Raul Mateos in pull request 11890. GitHub-8799
  • Magento now checks the uniqueness of attribute option values when you use REST to create the option. Fix submitted by gonzalopelon in pull request 11786. GitHub-8846
  • GET v1/products/attribute-sets/sets/list now returns a full list of attribute sets. Fix submitted by David Verholen in pull request 11432. GitHub-11022
  • If a configurable product is part of a shipment being created via REST, only the parent’s quantity will be counted towards total shipment item quantity. Previously, Magento counted both the parent and child product of the configurable product, which resulted in a count of two products added to the shopping cart.
  • The Add-to-cart checkboxes in Related Products are no longer visible on the storefront when $canItemsAddToCart is set to false. Fix submitted by Marc Rodriguez in pull request 11610.  GitHub-689

Cart and checkout

  • Magento no longer applies free shipping when you remove a free shipping coupon code from the checkout page.
  • Magento now permits zip codes for the Netherlands to contain spaces. Fix submitted by Oscar Recio in pull request 11960. GitHub-11898
  • If you’ve enabled persistent shopping cart, you can now check out even after your session has expired. Previously, if you tried to check out after your session ended, cart contents were not available, and Magento displayed this message: Unable to place order. Please try again later.

Configurable products

  • Magento now displays the correct drop-down option labels for configurable products when you create attributes for products with a custom source.
  • Magento now saves selected product options when you edit a product page. Previously, Magento did not save configurable options.
  • When a simple child product on a configurable product has a lower price (either regular, or special price) than the other options (variations), the configurable product without any selected options now indicates that the price could be as low as as the lowest price. Previously, if a simple child product has a price that is lower than the other options, and no options on the configurable product have been selected yet, the configurable product will be shown with the lowest available price.

Framework

  • Office XML handler now supports exports of XML that contain negative values. Fix submitted by HausO in pull request 11758. GitHub-11729
  • Magento no longer throws an exception when the X-Magento-Tags header contains whitespace. Fix submitted by Ihor Sviziev in pull request 11848. GitHub-7640
  • New orders now appear as expected in the Order table after you migrate data. Fix submitted by Ihor Sviziev in pull request 11932. GitHub-10185
  • We’ve added an extra API call to the interface for managing customer accounts, and it permits you to implement the full reset password process. Fix submitted by Mr. Lewis in pull request 11920.
  • We no longer hard-code the array index of Magento_Backend::admin in the resources ACL tree. Fix submitted by Navarr Barnier in pull request 11739.

  • We’ve fixed an error in the \Magento\Customer\Test\Unit\Model\AccountManagementTest class: unit tests. Fix submitted by @adrian-martinez-interactiv4 in pull request 11606.
  • Magento no longer assigns multiple blocks the same ID. Fix submitted by Thiago in pull request 11804.
  • If you add a new value for an EAV attribute, Magento checks to make sure it is unique for the attribute. Fix submitted by Raul Mateos in pull request 11621.

Fix submitted by Ihor Sviziev in pull request 12111. GitHub-8178

Import/export

  • You can now import customer addresses from websites with country restrictions.

  • Magento no longer changes custom options IDs each time the product is imported or saved.
  • When you export customer details into CSV format, Magento now displays the values of the Confirmed email and Account Lock columns in the Customer table. Previously, Magento displayed a blank value for these columns in the CSV file.

Index

  • We’ve fixed an issue that lead to wrong products being indexed. Previously, the mview.xml configuration used row_id instead of entity_id when collecting information from changelogs.

Order management

  • We’ve corrected the block class defined in the XML layout for order items on the order print page is definitely not correct. As a result, you cannot see the order item’s information upon the order printing. Fix submitted by Yaroslav Rogoza in pull request 11631. GitHub-9830, GitHub-10530

Payment methods

  • Magento PayPal integration now supports the Indian Rupee currency (INR).
  • Braintree online refunds now work when you are using two Braintree accounts on two separate websites. Previously, when using two Braintree accounts for two separate websites, Magento did not process the refund, and displayed this message: Sorry, but something went wrong.

  • You can now successfully search reports for a particular customer (Reports > Reviews > By Customers). Fix submitted by Oscar Recio in pull request 11523. GitHub-10301

SalesRule

  • Magento no longer discounts items that belong to an excluded category. Previously, you were unable to exclude products assigned to a specific category due to the Cart Price rule.
  • Products in the cart with a price of $0.00 no longer cause an extra cent to be applied to the discount amount.
  • We’ve fixed a range of issues that affect shipping when Sales rules and Cart rules are involved. For example, the free shipping coupon previously did not work with Table Rates shipping. Fix submitted by Mr. Lewis in pull request 11919. GitHub-8172, GitHub-8089, GitHub-10507
  • The Elasticsearch indexer search-by-attribute functionality now works as expected.

Shipping

  • Magento no longer throws an error (Undefined variable: responseAjax) when you try to save a shipment package. Fix submitted by Joe Constant in pull request 12092.

Tax

  • Magento now correctly calculates the tier price percentage when displayed prices include tax. GitHub-8833
  • The total tax amount displayed in the Full Tax Summary now equals the sum of the relevant individual taxes. Fix submitted by Pieter Cappelle in pull request 11593. GitHub-10347

Translations

  • You can now implement translations from themes (in contrast to translations from modules).

Visual Merchandiser

  • We’ve improved the performance of editing or saving products in large categories (more than 18,000 products per category).

Known issue

Issue: In Swagger, the text area that contains the payload structure of some POST and PUT operations is not displayed. If a fraction of the text area is displayed, you can click on it to display the payload structure in a text area in the center of the page. If the text area is not displayed at all, then you cannot access the payload structure.

Workaround: Use the Devdocs static Swagger site to navigate to the REST call you want to use, then copy the payload structure to your Swagger instance.
