London Dev Meetup Rescheduled! Due to unavoidable reasons, the event has been moved to 21st May. Speakers remain the same—any changes will be communicated. Seats are limited—register here to secure your spot!
The following is a complete list of the bug fixes and enhancements provided in the January 2021 Release. Some of the bug fixes listed below may address existing Support Articles, of which are noted inline with the associated bug fix and in a comprehensive list at the bottom of this page.
Note: The 5.0.9 release is now available for developers to pull down and work with locally or to request for deployments.
There were no visual highlights to demo for this release.
The following are the high or medium priority breaking changes that occurred during this release:
Images Not Found/500 Errors - Some sites have experienced intermittent inability to load images from the AWS S3 storage provider. (See below for the error information in the application log.) This was resolved with the 5.0.9 release.
Be aware that we cannot predict when this issue will arise. Some customers have reported it starting and stopping the behavior and one customer had no issues whatsoever and then, suddenly, most of the product images on the site could not be rendered until they upgraded. We believe this has to do with something within the AWS environment, but we cannot be certain.
The errors will show up something like the following in the application log:
