WooCommerce 2.6 Beta 3 has been tagged and is now available from Github. Since beta 1 there have been a number of fixes, tweaks and commits (159) so be sure to give it a whirl.
Changes since beta 2
We have worked on several bug fixes and hook renames since beta 2 which I won’t go into detail listing (see the list of changes here), but the larger items include:
- Allowed product constructors to throw exceptions if invalid. If you are using wc_get_product() to get product objects, this change won’t affect you. If you’re calling classes directly, this could cause an exception if the product doesn’t exist.
- Wrapped currency symbols in a span to allow styling or replacement.
- Allow failed orders to be edited.
- Switched to print_r for generating cart session hashes.
- Stopped caching non-valid coupons.
- Changed range symbol used for taxes and shipping.
- Improved certain aspects of Shipping Zones UI such as breadcrumbs.
- Tokenization form fixes and styling.
- If there are no shipping methods setup, don’t prompt for shipping at checkout.
- Fixed shipping method unregistration.
- Stopped create and update webhooks firing at the same time for products.
