    Changelog

    Bug Fixes

    Notable Changes

    We’ve refreshed the plugin page with a new banner and icon.

    Changelog

    Enhancements

    • Update WooCommerce Blocks brand assets (https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce-blocks/pull/10622)

    Bug Fixes

    • Fix “On sale” badge class (https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce-blocks/pull/10634)

  • The latest version of WooCommerce Blocks, version 10.9.0, is now available for download on WordPress.org and GitHub.

    Notable Changes

    Interactivity API Integration with Product Button

    We have integrated the Product Button with the Interactivity API, enhancing the shopping experience. These are the highlights:

    • Real-time Counter Update:
      Quantity changes in the mini-cart are immediately reflected on the Product Button.
    • Smoother Counter Animations:
      The counter in the Product Button updates with smoother animations.
    • Streamlined Visual Feedback:
      The Product Button smoothly transitions from ‘Add to Cart’ to ‘Loading’ status to show the quantity in the cart when a product is added, providing clear visual feedback.

    Known Issue: When the Products (Beta) block is loaded with the Classic Placeholder block, the Product Button doesn’t work as expected in the Classic Template block. Specifically, clicking the ‘Add to Cart’ button in the Classic Template Block results in a complete page refresh. This is not the expected behavior. We encourage users experiencing this issue to consider migrating from the Classic Placeholder block to the Products block. This block is designed to work smoothly with the Interactivity API and to ensure the Product Button functions correctly.

    Performance Enhancements for Checkout

    We spent some time tidying up the Store API performance, this resulted in a 100ms faster server response, or 25%-30% faster Cart/Checkout requests.

    We also changed how shipping selection works, and it is now visibly faster by 1000ms and feels immediate.

    We still have a lot of performance improvements planned and will share them as we release them.
