Miva Merchant 5. Production Release 8 Update 8 Is Now Available

[Rick Wilson]

Miva Merchant 5.5 PR 8 Update 8 Release Notes

Shipping Changes

UPS CHANGES

• Due to changes in the way the UPS API supports test-mode registrations, the UPS Developer Kit Registration Wizard no longer supports registration in test mode. It now performs registration in production mode regardless of the configuration of the UPS(R) Online Tools module.

SHIPPING LABEL CHANGES

• The UPS(R) Online Tools module now supports generation of shipping labels for use with Zebra (and Zebra compatible) thermal label printers.
  • This behavior is controlled by a new option, Use Zebra Thermal Printing. When enabled, shipping labels will be generated in ZPL format.
  • Only 4x6 inch labels are currently supported.
  
  
• The Endicia Shipping Labels module now supports generation of shipping labels for use with Zebra (and Zebra compatible) thermal label printers.
  • This behavior is controlled by a new option, Use Zebra Thermal Printing When Possible. When enabled, supported shipping labels will be generated in ZPL format.
  • Only 4x6 inch labels are currently supported.
  • Endicia does not support generation of all labels in ZPL format.
  • When a label type that does not support ZPL is required, the module will automatically fall back to the configured Non-ZPL Label Image Type. Label types that are known not to support ZPL include:
    • Certified Mail
    • International labels with more than 5 items declared on the customs forms
  
  
• The FedEx Web Services module now supports generation of shipping labels for use with Zebra (and Zebra compatible) thermal label printers.
  • This behavior is controlled by a new option, Use Zebra Thermal Printing. When enabled, shipping labels will be generated in ZPL format.
  • Only 4x6 inch labels are currently supported.
  
  
• The Shipping Label Display screen now supports printing of ZPL-format labels to a ZPL-compatible thermal label printer.
  • Java and a working Java browser plugin are required for thermal label printing.
  • The thermal label printer must be configured in the user's operating system.
  • When a ZPL label is displayed, a drop-down list will appear next to the print button allowing the user to select the printer to be used.
  • The last printer used is remembered as the default for the next time the Shipping Label Display screen is displayed.
  
  
• The Shipping Label Display screen has been improved to support preview of ZPL-format labels by rendering them as PNG images.
  • Label preview requires that the webserver have version 2.0.34 or newer of the GD library with fontconfig support enabled.
  • Proper display of labels is dependent on the Nimbus Sans L and Nimbus Mono L fonts, which are available for free in the urw-fonts package on most platforms.
  • Proper preview is supported for all aspects of the labels generated by the UPS(R) Online Tools, Endicia Shipping Labels and FedEx Web Services modules with the exception of the maxicode barcodes on UPS shipping labels.
  • The preview functionality is completely separate from support for thermal label printing. Even if a site is unable to preview ZPL labels, users will still be able to print them.

Other Changes

• Validation on the Forgot Password page has been improved in runtime. If a user presses the "Submit" button without entering a login or email address, they will now receive a validation message indicating that there was no input rather than a message stating that information to reset their password was emailed.
• Newly created stores (and stores which reapply the default frameworks) now use a secure URL for the Forgot Password page by default.
