August 2024 release
Release: 5.2.2408.1593+sts
Important
Version 5.2.2408.1573+sts has been removed from the list of deployable versions, and the NuGet package has been removed from general availability. Optimizely identified a bug with a new cache key for PageByUrl. This version can return incorrect content on instances with multiple websites with the same URLs because the website key was not included in the cache key. Version 5.2.2408.1593+sts has replaced this version and includes a fix for the above problem. See Current short-term support hotfixesCurrent short-term support hotfixes for information.
The following is a list of the bug fixes and enhancements in the August 2024 release. Some bug fixes listed below may address existing support articles. A comprehensive list is at the bottom of this page.

Breaking changes
Binary breaking changes do not necessarily require code changes but rather just a recompilation of the project. This section describes breaking changes to method signatures or to method behaviors in Optimizely Configured Commerce.
Low risk
- Implemented DOMPurify and removed the property HtmlBodyOnly from PropertyDefinitionDto.
- Upgraded fast-xml-parser for Dependabot by removing mobius-styleguide from the Spire modules. This was a tool for Optimizely developers and partners that is no longer used.
- Added new overload for ICookieManager.Add method for CKFinder.
- Fixed an issue where Product V2 routing parameters were ignored: Added Guid productId and Guid variantChildId parameters with priority over [FromUri] parameter. Only ProductsV2Controller.cs was changed.
- Changed method signatures for ProductPrintPdfService to use EmailService as an argument. This resolves issues related to threading in the .NET 8.0.

Database changes and updates
- The attribute retrieval phase of the GetProductData procedure used by Product V2 now reconsiders its query plan with each call, improving performance consistency for product lists that vary in size. Example: 8-item product list pages and 500-item carts.
