WooCommerce Blocks 6.6.0 Release Notes

A new version of WooCommerce Blocks has been released! Version 6.6.0 is now available for download from GitHub and WordPress.org.

This release rolls out some fixes for the Block based full-site editing templates, fixes some performance issues, improves data sync between cart and draft orders, and improves error handling with the new checkout experience.

Dev Notes

1. We’ve been increasing the adoption of TypeScript across the codebase, and in this release, we’ve updated usePaymentMethodInterface to include correct typescript definitions, so if you were importing our typedefs, you’ll need to modify where you pull them from.
2. The Store API will now sync cart data (on change via a Store API route) to any existing draft order. Additonally, there is now an extra woocommerce_blocks_cart_update_customer_from_request hook should you need to update custom customer data from the customer-update route.
