RO CSVI 8.21.0 release
The RO CSVI 8.21.0 release is the penultimate release to support Joomla 3. This release features a few bug fixes and some new features. The main feature being that RO CSVI runs on Joomla 6 alpha 3.
VirtueMart
We fixed order imports not working if you have the Advanced Shipping by Rules for VirtueMart plugin enabled. With this plugin, VirtueMart requires order data to be stored in another table, if that data is not present, you cannot open the order. Another issue that was brought to our attention is that thumbnails were not created for categories. This has now been resolved.
Multi-Replace rule
The multi-replace rule has 3 new options to round values:
- round
Rounds a number, you can specify how to round the number - floor
Rounds a number down - ceil
Rounds a number up
End of support
Support for Joomla 3 and Joomla 4 is coming to an end, our next release will be the last release to support Joomla 3 and Joomla 4. In September we will come with RO CSVI 9 which will only support Joomla 5 and Joomla 6. Not only the Joomla version is changing, the minimum PHP version is also going to be raised to PHP 8.2. This will allow us to bring the codebase up-to-date and support future versions of Joomla. In case you are still running Joomla 3 and Joomla 4 it might be time to look into updating your site, until then you can of course keep running RO CSVI 8.
