CMS TEN Release Notes
Introduction
CMS version 10.0.7 addresses the 2017 rate changes for USPS, effective January 22nd, and also includes the previously released UPS and FedEx rates so there is no need to install intermediate updates..
Release Notes from all previous versions can be found on our Release Notes page.
End of Life Announcement - Windows VISTA
Microsoft has announced they will no longer provide support or updates for their Vista operating system as of April 11, 2017. After that date Vista will no longer receive security patches which, aside from the obvious security threats, also means that you cannot be PCI compliant.
We have already seen ramifications at client sites running on other unsupported operating systems. For example, PCI is dictating a shift away from using SSL and TLS 1.0 since they are now considered to be insecure methods of connection. As our partners start to follow this dictate they have/will remove support for those older forms of secure connection which Windows XP and Server 2003 cannot support.
Identify which workstations you may have running Vista and make plans to have them upgraded to Windows 7 or 10 before the April 11, 2017 end of life date.
For a complete list of operating systems we support for use with CMS, see our System Requirements wiki article.
PCI Compliance - CMS TEN has been successfully validated against the PA-DSS 3.0 specification by Coalfire Systems. Software changes that could affect your compliance are only included in major CMS versions (e.g. 9.0, 10.0) or minor versions (e.g. 9.2, 10.2) and never in releases (e.g. 9.0.5, 10.0.2) or builds (e.g. 9.0.6.159, 10.0.1.123). You can read more about our versioning methodology at the bottom of our Release Notes page.
CMS 10.0.x is listed on the PCI Council’s directory of Validated Payment Applications and its validation is good through October 2019. We file updates with the PCI Council annually to maintain our status and demonstrate that changes made to the software each year have not compromised our compliance.
There were also several in 10.0.1 with the initial release of CMS TEN and another in 10.0.5.
Integrations - New integration options available for Amazon and Volusion as of 10.0.5. All other integrations will continue to work as they had previously including CommerceV3, Magento, UPS Worldship, FedEx Ship Manager, Endicia/DaZzle, ShipRush, Malvern, MPS, TransFirst, and Authorize.net.
CMS TEN - ENHANCEMENT DETAILS
-
USPS 2017 Rates
Rate changes for all domestic classes, both competitive and market dominant. International rates remain unchanged for all classes.
More details available at: RefOrderID
-
Adam Scales
The serial communications from Adam brand scales has changed over time and has been inconsistent with their documentation. We've made changes to CMS to deal with these abnormalities in order to improve the reliability of the communication between the scale and CMS.
-
Windows 10 - Snap Assist
When "snapping" an application in place, CMS will now appears as one of the candidate applications to fill the remaining space. -
Price Category Deletion
A safeguard has been added to prevent the deletion of any Price Category in Setup that is associated with any Customer or Order data. This is done to preserve relational data integrity.
-
Bug Fixes and modifications
Orders imported from external sources like your website, marketplaces, or call centers will include a reference Order ID (reforderid) which is the unique order number assigned in that system. CMS shows this reforderid on the Tracking tab of Order Entry and in the top right of View Invoice.
CMS now allows you to manually enter this reforderid for non-imported orders (orders where the reforderid was not explicitely set by the import). This would be used in cases where you may be manually keying in an order from an external source and still want to enter their order ID.
CMS still requires that reforderids be unique for the order source and will warn you, disallowing save, if that reforderid already exists for that order source. This is a safeguard to ensure duplicate orders are not entered and helps preserve data integrity for integrations when order data, such as order status uploads, must be exchanged between systems.
