This section describes the major new features or enhancements that are included in this release.
Active Reports. Expanded Support for PB Shipping API Reports
The existing PB Shipping API – USPS reports, Account History Report and Refund Report, have been removed, and replaced with new management reports:
Also, refer to the Possible Breaking Changes section of these release notes.
Reports Viewer. Shipper Dropdown User Limit Effectively Removed
Previously, the maximum number of users that could be listed in the Shipper dropdown in Shipping Administration’s Report Viewer screen was 999. This has now been set to a level that effectively means all shippers in the database can be included.
Generation 2 Unified View. Added SendSuite Tracking Status to Outbound and Requisition Views
The SendSuite Tracking status is now the preferred status used for Outbound and Requisition views when packages are linked to SendSuite Tracking. Data syncing between SendSuite Live and SendSuite Tracking is via the scheduled task SS Tracking Status Synchronization. This task should be configured to run with enough frequency to ensure statuses are kept up to date. By default, the task updates packages that have been dispatched within the previous 8 days, and it does not update packages with the SendSuite Tracking status of DELIVERED. You can configure this behavior in Shipment Server Configuration using the SST Status Synchronization Days in Past to Retrieve and SST Status Synchronization Statuses not to Update tenant settings.
Also, refer to the Project Template Changes section of these release notes.
Generation 2 Unified View. Added Ability to View Signatures Captured for Each Event
A Signed checkbox (read-only) has been added to the SendSuite Tracking History JOC. When this checkbox is shown selected, a signature exists for that status. Clicking the row displays that signature. The new Unified View 2.4 template supports this item. See the Project Template Changes section of these release notes.
PB Shipping API – USPS. Updated and Added Parcel Types
Added a new package type, Large Package. This will show in the response as LP. Updated the symbol of the Package. This will show in the response as PKG.
PB Shipping API – USPS. Label Address Now Saved
The actual shipping address used for shipping after address validation correction will now be recorded in PB Shipping API transactions. Ship Response will now include the CorrectedReceiverAddress block, if the address has been corrected.
Also, refer to the XML Schema Changes section of these release notes.
Server Configuration Utility & Shipping Administration. Expanded Support for Product Security
SendSuite Live now includes a number of settings that allow for tightened product security:
Additionally, addressed the following issues:
Product Architecture. Support for Windows 10
The software now officially supports Windows 10.
Windows 10 includes the Edge browser. Edge is supported with the following exclusions:
Essentially, the level of support for Edge mirrors the level of support for Chrome.
Rate Shop. Results Now Display Package Type Description
If a rate group includes different package types, the Rate Shop now includes the package type description in the results in the right-hand panel (or in an additional column in grid view).
Blackbox Configuration. Added Several XML Schema Enhancements
Also, refer to the XML Schema Changes section of these release notes.
This section includes items that have been raised via Support and escalated to Development for resolution within this release.
Generation 2 Unified View. Tracking Outbound Packages, Resolved Issue with Summary Display
An issue that resulted in multiple InTransit icons being shown has been resolved by preventing duplicate tracking history statuses.
Generation 2 Unified View. Corrected Sort Order of Package Movements
An issue with the sort order has been resolved.
FedEx Web Services. Dimensions now use AwayFromZero Rounding
Dimensions now use AwayFromZero mid-point rounding. Any ".5" decimal will be rounded up rather than down. This change keeps the logic consistent between FedEx Web Services and FedEx Server.
ACE Portal. Fixed Quantities Greater than 999
Line item quantities greater than 999 will now be submitted correctly to ACE Portal.
FedEx Server. Improved Diagnostics Logging when Fetching Files
Extended diagnostic logging for FedEx Server’s label event. The label fetch log will now include new details indicating how the credentials are being used during the transaction.
Scripting. Custom Mapping. Fixed numberofRows Function when Called on a Sorted Dataview
Corrected an issue with the "numberofRows" scripting function miscalculating the number of rows, if the Select Line Items table content has been reordered by a sorted DataView call.
Note: If you sort your rows by their headers (i.e. sorted DataView call), the manual entry row normally displayed at the end of the line items list disappears from your project template. This is expected behavior.
USPS. eCertified. ERR. Removed Leading and Trailing Spaces from Number Range
Leading and trailing characters are now automatically removed from number range values, which are used as part of the filename for the USPS SSF file. This is to prevent the characters from being included in the filename, which could lead to potential performance issues.
PB Shipping API – USPS. Corrected Special Service IDs
Corrected a number of special service identifiers sent in the invalid format as part of the carrier request.
This section contains information about minor changes and corrections. It can include issues raised in previous releases that have been corrected.
Projects Server. Fixed DateTimeOffset Data Display
Corrected an issue with the date time offset field within Projects server not displaying the converted date/time correctly.
DHL International. Fixed Kosovo CountryCode
Corrected the country code for Kosovo for DHL International that accepts code 'KV' rather than the 'XK'.
Database Schema. Corrected Typo within GetShipmentInternationalEntities Stored Procedure
Corrected a typographical error in a column name within the internally called stored procedure, GetShipmentInternationalEntities. This defect is inconsequential to the product’s current functionality.
