Hello, Commerce 0.7.0

Announcements
#1

Another big Commerce release is now available. This release brings some long-awaited improvements, bug fixes, and a few new features, too.

Breaking changes in 0.7

  • Price fields/TVs for resource products are now assumed to be specified as numbers with decimals, instead of an integer representing cents. This can be disabled with the commerce.resourceproduct.price_field_decimals system setting to restore the old behaviour of expecting a number in cents.

Highlights of Commerce 0.7

  • You can now delete stuff from the dashboard :tada: Some types of items are soft-delete, meaning they stay in the database for reporting and existing data integrity, but are hidden from the dashboard. Some others are completely wiped upon delete. The delete form tells you what it is.
  • Customers no longer see a message that their order is free right after they paid.
  • Mollie and other webhook-based payment methods now handle cancelled/failed transactions better.
  • Total order estimates when viewing shipping methods now correctly excludes previously selected shipping methods.
  • More transaction information is now visible from an order detail page
  • Resource products now expect decimals in the price field/TV instead of cents.
  • New commerce.get_cart snippet to show a mini-cart in a header, sidebar, etc.
