Saleor v2.8.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2019-07-12 // almost 5 years ago

  • 🚀 Welcome to the June 2019 release of Saleor! Read on to learn about the newest changes!

    Avalara Integration

    🚀 Saleor has, to date, only supported tax calculations for the EU with Vatlayer. To support taxes in other countries, we're integrating the popular Avalara tool with Saleor in this release! With Avalara enabled and configured, you'll get proper tax calculations during the checkout process. Your orders will also be accessible in the Avalara admin panel.

    Storing Credit Cards

    👍 We've improved the internal payment gateway interface, which now allows for storage and reuse of customers' payment sources, such as credit cards, if the gateway supports it. Additionally, we've implemented support in the Braintree gateway module and plan to add Stripe very soon.

    👌 Improved Vouchers Section

    ✅ Good user experience is always one of our top priorities. We are constantly testing Saleor and decided that the Vouchers section was quite challenging to use, so we set about designing an interface that would make it easier for you to quickly create attractive sales offers for your customers. We have now gathered common settings into visual cards, which makes for a clean and intuitive UI.

    CSRF Vulnerability Fix

    🚀 This release fixes a security issue that was introduced in version 2.7.0. In that release, we made customizations to the Django middleware in order to disable some elements that were unnecessary for requests coming to the GraphQL API. Unfortunately, we inadvertently disabled CSRF protection for all POST requests coming to static Django views in Storefront 1.0 and Dashboard 1.0. An attacker could therefore send a request without the valid CSRF token, and the server would accept it. In this release, to close this loophole, we've reverted to the original middleware configuration. We felt that the performance gain was minimal and it wasn't a crucial feature for the system, so the original solution is acceptable.

    The issue was introduced on 16 May, 2019: 94c0703
    Affected versions: 2.7.0

    ⬆️ All users of the affected version are encouraged to upgrade Saleor immediately.
