This is a minor release focusing on bug fixes and performance improvements. Just like other minor releases, this release also aims to be backward compatible with previous WooCommerce releases.

    Where can I find WooCommerce Admin 2.0.1 bug fix list?

      1. Thanks, but I can only see 2.0.0 changes.

        1. Yes the team that handles that made some last minute changes/fixes and therefore have not updated the file yet. But that is the place where you can see the latest changelogs. So perhaps visit it again after some time when it should be updated.

  2. It’s so nice information in this article.
