Beta 1 for the June 13 release of WooCommerce is now available for testing! You can either download it directly from WordPress.org or install our WooCommerce Beta Tester Plugin.
Highlights
Since the release of 7.7.0, the following changes have been made:
- WooCommerce Blocks has been updated to 10.2.0 which includes the following changes. For a full list of changes, see the 10.2.0 release post.
- The global enqueue of
wc-cart-fragmentshas been removed. (See dev note below) #35530
For the complete list, view the changelog in the readme for this release.
Developer Notes
The Cart Fragments script, responsible for updating the cart widget after a successful add to cart event, can cause a performance issue on stores not making use of that functionality. To mitigate this, the script will now only be enqueued if using the Mini Cart widget.
Stores with similar functionality (e.g. from a theme) that are not using the widget can re-enable this functionality by either adding the widget to one of their widget areas/sidebars, or by enqueuing the script manually:
wp_enqueue_script( 'wc-cart-fragments' );
If you’re looking for an alternative to the Mini Cart widget that does not suffer from the performance issue, try the Mini Cart Block instead.
