**Release: 5.2.2601.315+sts**

The following is a list of the release's bug fixes and enhancements. Some bug fixes may address existing support articles. A comprehensive list is at the bottom of this page.

The January 2026 release is now available for developers to download and work with locally or to request deployments.

## Release highlights

- **One-page checkout** – You can now use [Google Pay](docId\:WqDz4_lt6uO0pLF9v7ZTb) and PayPal with one-page checkout.

## Breaking changes

### Low risk

- **Malformed HTML causes an unresponsive Product Detail page** – A new method `CleanHtmlContent` was added to the non-extensible interface `IHtmlContentProvider`.
- **Unhandled error when selecting Save credit card information on the checkout page with Payment Service** – Added an `AccountIdentifier` column to `UserPaymentProfile's NaturalKey`.
- **Sanitize any HTML that comes in for Spire share endpoints** – This update includes the following:
  - The `/api/v1/tellafriend` endpoint now ignores the values for the following fields. They are instead looked up through product service v1 with the `productId` that is passed to the endpoint.
    - `productImage`
    - `productShortDescription`
    - `altText`
    - `productUrl`

:::Paragraph{indent="2"}
All other fields have `html/urls/emails` stripped. The email field is still allowed to be an email.
:::

:::Paragraph{listStyleType="disc" indent="2"}
The share order/invoice endpoint (`/.spire/shareEntity`) strips HTML, URLs, and emails from all fields posted to the endpoint. The email field is still allowed to be an email.
:::

## Enhancements

- Added the ability to use PayPal with one-page checkout.
- Added the ability to use [Google Pay ](docId\:WqDz4_lt6uO0pLF9v7ZTb)with one-page checkout.
- Improved the integration job details notification emails by adding a short description for the notification and a link to the job log entry.
- Increased the Value column to nvarchar(max) for the following tables: IntegrationJobParameter, JobDefinitionParameter, and JobDefinitionStepParameter.
- Updated Search Service Authorization to use the Commerce Product Instance Details to simplify and improve permissions validation.
- Added an **Ordered Product From Category Branch** rule type for promotions and shipping rules. This lets you include subcategories.
- \*Added `setCookie` and `removeCookie` functionality during server-side rendering.
- Improved security for Spire share endpoints. See the [Breaking changes](docId\:f9eaDT7U-ZJDjWIT0gf25) section for information.
- \*Updated the [Button widget](docId\:f9eaDT7U-ZJDjWIT0gf25) in Spire to be contextual.
- \*Added optional `StartDate` and `EndDate` parameters to the ODP export jobs and made `LookBackDays` optional. See [Important notes](docId\:f9eaDT7U-ZJDjWIT0gf25) in the integration documentation.
- \*Updated the ODP Order Sync to support [custom order statuses through Order Status Mapping](docId\:f9eaDT7U-ZJDjWIT0gf25).
- \*Updated `GetVmiBinCollectionHandler.CreateGetVmiBinResults` to call `IProductService`, load all products at once, and get productDtos from this result. This means that the `CreateGetVmiBinResult` pipeline no longer creates `ProductDto` using `catalogPipeline.CreateProductDto` per line. `GetVmiBinCollectionHandler/1100_CreateGetVmiBinResults.cs `now does this at once for all products with single call to `productService.GetProductCollection.`
