On August 11, WooCommerce 2.4 Helpful Hedgehog was released and 10 hours later the first fixes, based on user feedback, came in with Version 2.4.1 .
Now, whats new?
- Onboarding wizard After installing the WooCommerce plugin, it can be configured completely in one wizard who helps configuring WooCommerce properly.
- Variations Editor The variations editor was improved, meaning a faster UI and the option to increase the upper limit of variations on a product via functions.php
- Geolocation The, already existing, geolocation library was improved. Now it is less vulnerable to caching and should work properly.
- Custom AJAX Endppoints This feature is new to WooCommerce. It will improve the loading time between user actions, e.g. Cart and Checkout.
- Shipping options The configuration for shipping is more simplified now AND provides more configuration options if needed.
More detailed information can be read in WooCommerce› developer blog.
Remember to backup your system before launching the update and to use version 2.4.1 instead of 2.4.0. Good luck and happy selling.
