CMS Version 7.0.5 Release Notes

CMS version 7.0.5 includes the modifications necessary to support the new USPS rate changes which are effective January 22nd, 2012.

When to Install - The shipping rates in CMS will be updated when you install the 7.0.5 update. As such, you should plan the installation of your update to coincide with when you want the new rates to be available in CMS.

Whether or not you have the current rates in CMS you can continue to ship properly with any of your CMS shipping integrations. In every case, the software that prints the shipping label (e.g. WorldShip™ , Ship Manager®, DAZzle®, ShipRush™ , etc.) determines the proper rate for the shipment and is thus how you are billed.

Having the current rates in CMS is often more of a reference. Its greatest impact, though, is for companies who charge their customers a shipping and handling fee based on the actual carrier rate (instead of a spending table or other formulas.) If this is how you charge your customers for shipping and handling, you will want to make sure you have this update installed as soon as you want to start charging your customers based on the 2012 rates.

READ BEFORE INSTALLING 7.0.5 - If you are new to CMS version 7.x, you must read the version 7.0 Release Notes before proceeding with this update. There were significant changes between version 6 and 7 which are not covered in this document and must be understood before installing.

Release codes - During the installation you will be asked to enter your 7.x release code. Only 7.x release codes will work with your 7.0.5 update. You can access your 7.x release code by logging into the Support Downloads section of our web site. Just enter your customer number and zip code to log in. 2012 release codes have been posted on the Support Downloads site so make sure you use them when installing 7.0.5 to properly extend your license.

Server updates - You will only need to install v7.0.5 on your server. No workstation updates are required.

PCI and PA-DSS - With every new CMS release, PCI related changes will be detailed in this section of the Release Notes to keep you apprised of how changes in the software may affect CMS's or your compliance. In version 7.0.5 no changes were made that affect your PCI or CMS's PA-DSS compliance.

CMS was validated against the PA-DSS 1.2 specification which was current in 2010 and that validation lasts for three years at which point CMS will have to be re-validated against the new/current standard. If we make any changes to CMS that affect PA-DSS, we must submit our software for re-validation. Changes that affect CMS's PA-DSS validation would only be included in major or minor versions (e.g. 8.0 or 7.1) and never a release or build (e.g. 7.0.4 or 7.0.1.56). See our article on Release Notes for more of an explanation of CMS's versioning system and how it relates to PA-DSS.

Database Changes - No changes in 7.0.5 although there were database changes in 7.0.3.

XML changes - Fields added to CMSXML.xsd - No changes in 7.0.5
