| 298977 | - | Personal Shipping App. Improved display of shipment adjustment charges. The way in which adjustment charges are retrieved has been improved to provide more detail to users about the reason for changes to transaction fees. When viewing adjustments via the App’s History tab, the rate is broken down and changes are displayed against the following component elements: Length, Weight, Package Type, Origin Location, Height and Width. For detail, see Personal Shipping - History. |
| 306987 | SF28184 | Task Scheduler. Increased ACE Email Processor available poll times. The ACE Email Processor task can now be scheduled to run at five minutes, two minutes and one minute intervals. Additionally, removed the redundant setting Task Poll Time from the database. |

Where EHub API Key and PB Shipping API Merchant ID are present, Personal Shipping will be configured at base install.

Carrier Changes
| ID | Salesforce | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 295409 | SF26243 | Rating. Additional detail now shown for broker carriers. When rate shopping with a broker carrier (E.g. Banyan, P44), additional detail is now shown with returned rates outlining the carrier, sub carrier and third party carrier used. This functionality is controlled by a new App setting, Show Third Party Information in Rate Viewer, which defaults to False. The setting has been added for the MailCenter, Warehouse, Store, Supplier, Desktop Shipping, Desktop and Route Apps. For detail, see App Settings. |
| 312401 | - | DHL XML-PI. Added new special service. Support for a new special service, Paperless Trade, has been added for DHL XML-PI.

Other Changes
| ID | Salesforce | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 320010 | - | Bulk shipping. Corrected handling of rating options. When rating, the Required By date is now correctly applied to all shipments in the bulk list; previously the detail was only included with the first shipment. Additionally, the Pick Best Rate option is now disabled when operating with a bulk list as this functionality is not applied when bulk shipping. |
| 315206 | SF28398 | Personal Shipping. Updated treatment of name data in requests. The Sender and Receiver names for personal shipments are now included in carrier requests in first_name and last_name elements, where previously the data was passed in a nick_name container. |
| 317694 | - | PB Shipping API. Process return with shipment checkbox now functions as expected. Returns are now handled correctly for PB Shipping API when operating with the Process return with shipment checkbox in the Shipping Apps’ Returns tab. |
| 325087 | - | Boxberry. Changes to country validation checks. The Boxberry connector no longer performs validation checks on a shipment’s origin country. This is now handled by the carrier. |
| 317683 | - | Administration App. Improved Admin user capabilities. The Profile and Default App fields are no longer disabled when adding a new Admin user. |
| 317648 | - | Shipping Apps. Updated handling of currency changes. The Warehouse, Store and Supplier Apps now correctly update the currency used for the shipment’s Total Cost when the Declared Value currency is edited via the Localization tray.
In addition, when rating, rates are now shown in the currency returned by the carrier. If the rate returned does not match the currency in use, the Total Cost is updated to reflect the currency of the returned rate and the user is warned of the change. |
| 317322 | SF28477 | Designer. Image controls now display as expected. An issue has been resolved whereby the image editing icons did not display in Designer. |
| 321942 | SF28635 | Reports. Added support for Active Reports timeout setting. A new setting, Active Reports Snippet Timeout (ms), has been added to the Administration App. The setting determines the maximum amount of time the Reports App will wait for Active Reports to generate the requested report. It defaults to 6000, equating to a timeout of one minute. If updated, the browser cache should be cleared and the Reports App restarted to ensure the new value is used. |
| 319365 | SF28542 | Outputs. Resolved issue with misaligned page breaks for Commercial Invoices. The default page setup for Active Reports generated Commercial Invoices has been changed from A4 to Letter. This resolves issues whereby when printing page breaks appeared in the wrong place. |
| 321940 | SF28633 | Outputs. Reprinting package labels now functions as expected. An issue has been resolved whereby reprinting a single package label would reprint labels for all items in the shipment. |
| 319966 | - | Transtream. Resolved instance manager branding issue. An issue has been corrected whereby following an on-premise installation via Transtream Setup, incorrect branding displayed on the IdP login screen. This was caused by issues with the logic determining default branding. |
| 316624 | SF28463 | UPS API. Removed redundant data from requests. When performing international UPS API shipments the License node, contained within the InternationalForms element, is no longer added to requests. The node is used for EEI filings, which are currently not supported by the connector. |
| 320020 | - | UPS API. Resolved issue with Mail Innovations services. UPS API shipments to US territories (E.g. Guam, Puerto Rico) now function as expected when operating with Mail Innovations services. |
| 325081 | - | Personal Shipping. Updated handling of international PB Shipping API shipments. When performing international personal shipments with PB Shipping API, the export explanation is now only passed if the Export Reason, set via international defaults, is configured to Other. Note that the export explanation is taken from the international defaults’ Export Declaration. |
| 321112 | SF28566 | Hazardous shipping. Corrected issue with missing detail on FedEx hazardous outputs. The Technical Name field now displays as expected on FedEx Hazardous Shipping Papers (FedEx OP-900). Note that it remains the user’s responsibility to provide the technical name when shipping. |
| 318518 | SF28521 | Tracking. Updates to handling of Personal Shipping transactions. Personal Shipping data is now returned as expected from tracking tasks. Previously, if a carrier was only used for Personal Shipping, the related carrier permissions would be hidden and thus not included when running tracking tasks. |
| 324009 | - | DHL eCommerce API. Resolved issue with Puerto Rican shipments. DHL eCommerce API outputs now generate as expected when shipping to Puerto Rico. Previously, shipping documentation was not produced as Puerto Rico was not identified as an international location by ConnectShip. |
| 322763 | - | Product Admin. Corrected issue with embedded Apps. The User Context setting, configured via the Apps page of Product Admin, now functions as expected for embedded Apps. |
| 315609 | - | Apps. Updated handling of cost centers for multipack shipments. Cost center data is now correctly applied to all packages in a multipack shipment, addressing issues whereby only the first package in the shipment would be assigned the cost center if operating with the Map Cost Center App setting. Additionally, an error has been resolved in the Desktop App where the default cost center was not validated on load, thus not populating the mapped reference field. |
