In previous Commerce Connect versions, OrderStatus and OrderShipmentStatus were enums, so they could not be extended. A breaking change in Optimizely Commerce Connect 13 converted OrderStatus and OrderShipmentStatus from enums to classes. As a result, you can no longer apply bitwise operations to instances of OrderStatus and OrderShipmentStatus.

To register a new OrderStatus:

```javascript
OrderStatus.RegisterStatus(new OrderStatus(128, "WaitingForFeedback"));
```

To get all registered OrderStatuses, including built-in ones, use this code.

```javascript
var statuses = OrderStatus.RegisteredStatuses;
```
