## November 2025

- (Beta) Added the [self-service A/B testing feature](docId\:MIP24VTLsAUFcY2dIDM1l), which lets you independently create, configure, and launch experiments without relying on developer support.
- Enabled [DO\\\_NOT\\\_TRACK widget ](docId\:xpriUJydMT2UDHQ3B_8Gv)for per-page type, enabling more granular control over tracking settings on a per-page basis and enhancing privacy compliance and user experience.
- Added an [algorithm for recently published products,](../widgets/algorithms-for-widgets.mdx) with a quick filter for [newly published products](../widgets/quick-filters-for-widget-algorithms.mdx). After configuration, the algorithm continues to recommend newly added products on a rolling basis based on the specified lookback period, eliminating the need for continuous updates.
- Added the **contains** and **does not contain** operators when [adding an expression to individual product positions](../email-product-recommendations/email-product-recommendations-strategies.mdx) in Email Product Recommendations. These operators let you filter by matching or excluding part of an attribute.

## October 2025

- Added fields to configure a [cache period and a fallback URL](../email-product-recommendations/create-an-optimizely-email-product-recommendations-campaign.mdx) for product recommendation images in Optimizely Email Product Recommendations. Caching recommendations for a specified period and redirecting expired recommendations to a fallback URL helps prevent legal issues by ensuring customers always view the products they are recommended.

## February 2025

- Added [self-service widgets](docId\:A6ber49FLWqqn7bTwQR2R) feature, which lets you personalize product recommendations on your website.
- Improved the error details in the [product feed history](../product-recommendations/administer-the-product-recommendations-portal.mdx).
- Added ability to [download and schedule the product feed](../product-recommendations/administer-the-product-recommendations-portal.mdx).
- Updated the user interface (UI) for the [Orders, Site Engagement, and Products](../product-recommendations/product-recommendation-reports.mdx) reports.
