CMS Version 9.0.10 Release Notes

Introduction

CMS 9.0.10 includes the new 2015 shipping rates for USPS which are effective May 31. See below for details.

Release Notes from all previous versions can be found on our Release Notes page.

End of Life Announcements
Microsoft has announced they will no longer provide support and updates for Windows XP after April 8th, 2014. This is a fairly critical situation. XP will no longer receive security patches after that date which, aside from the obvious security threats, also means that you cannot be PCI compliant.

PCI Compliance - CMS 9.0 has been successfully validated against the PA-DSS 1.2 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. 9.1, 9.2) and never in releases (e.g. 9.0.5, 9.0.6) or builds (e.g. 9.0.6.159, 9.0.6.160). You can read more about our versioning methodology HERE.

You can find CMS versions 7.x through 10.x on the PCI Council’s list of Validated Payment Applications HERE

Integrations - Shipping integrations from the CMS Manifest with Endicia's Dazzle software and UPS Worldship XML auto imports have both been updated to support passing package dimensions.

No changes to our other CMS integrations in 9.0.10. All will continue to work as they had including CommerceV3, UPS Worldship keyed imports, FedEx Ship Manager, ShipRush, MPS, TransFirst, and Authorize.net.

9.0.10 ENHANCEMENT DETAILS

1. USPS Rate Change

   Effective May 31, 2015 rates will be changing for the following classes:
   
   • First Class
   • Media Mail
   • Standard Post
   • Parcel Select
   • International Rates
   
   The highlight of this rate change is USPS now offers free tracking for all mail classes except Standard Mail. There is no longer a need to configure CMS to request tracking for your USPS methods. The related settings will be removed from a future version of CMS.
   
   You can read more about the rate change on Endicia's site where they have a page dedicated to the 2015 rate change.
   
   See above for more information on when rate updates should be installed.
   
   

2. Endicia/Dazzle

   CMS has been tested to work with the latest version of Endicia's Dazzle software (v15.2). This update includes a few required changes to our Dazzle integration, all of which are transparent to you (e.g. XML format changes.)
