Changelog

This version introduces private themes, order sales channels, and the official MercadoLibre module, along with improvements to data migration and system stability.

Content & Appearance

• Added support for private themes: businesses can upload their own theme packages, which coexist with official themes and can be previewed, enabled, or deleted in the admin panel.
• If a private theme has the same name as an official theme, the official one takes precedence; the private theme is skipped and logged without affecting the site.
• Private themes and private modules are preserved during upgrades and will not be lost.

Shop Orders & Purchasing

• Orders now have a sales channel tag (website, MercadoLibre, manual, other); the admin panel allows filtering, exporting, and statistics by channel.
• When importing orders from an older system, channels are automatically identified; unknown channels are categorized as “other” and recorded in the report.
• Sales statistics and dashboards are displayed separately by channel, helping businesses analyze performance across channels.

MercadoLibre Integration

• Added the official MercadoLibre module (disabled by default); once enabled, businesses can connect their MercadoLibre account and automatically sync orders.
• Supports SKU mapping management, with import/export of mapping tables and label downloads.
• Inventory and price push are disabled by default; once enabled, they can be pushed manually or on a schedule.
• Unmapped products appear in a report and disappear automatically after mapping.

Data Migration

• Enhanced data migration tool: the source database is opened read-only, original data is not modified, and a rehearsal process is supported.
• Added preparation and rehearsal guides to the migration documentation to help businesses migrate safely.

System

• Security hardening.
• Added an online demo mode.
• Fixed false positives in version checks to improve system stability.
• Upgrade includes database migrations; backing up data before upgrading is recommended.

This release adds a data migration tool for importing products, members, orders, and inventory in stages; private module permissions can be granted directly in the admin; admin login supports fast keyboard operation; and it includes a Baota deployment guide and a deployment self-check tool.

Data Migration

• New data migration tool imports products, members and orders, and inventory in three stages.
• Runs in read-only preview by default; writes only after confirmation, with small-batch trial runs.
• Repeated runs do not create duplicates; the report lists successful and skipped counts.
• Payment entry points for historical orders are closed to prevent accidental payment.

Permissions

• Permissions declared by private modules can be granted directly on the role page.
• Private modules without declared permissions behave as before; existing role permissions are unaffected.

Admin Login

• Login page supports fast keyboard operation: Enter moves from username to password, and Enter in the password field logs in directly.
• Failed logins show an inline message and focus the relevant field.

Deployment & Self-Check

• New Baota deployment guide with configuration examples and troubleshooting.
• New deployment self-check command verifies site address, theme styles, media files, directory permissions, and PHP environment.
• Self-check results show pass, warning, or fail in plain language with fix suggestions.

System

• The publicly stated PHP version requirement is now 8.4.
• Security hardening.
• No database migration in this release; no extra steps are needed to upgrade, but backing up the data directory beforehand is recommended.

This version adds a checkout shipping engine that calculates rates by zone, weight, customer type, and free-shipping threshold, and introduces a Chilean carrier module for Chilexpress, Starken, and Correos Chile with label creation and tracking sync.

Checkout & Shipping

• Checkout calculates shipping in real time based on the delivery address and shows free-shipping reasons or unmatched notices.
• Backend allows setting shipping zones and rates by comuna, region, weight, customer type, and free-shipping threshold.
• Unmatched zones block checkout by default, with an option to fall back to “shipping to be negotiated”.
• Order details show the shipping zone and match source; manually changed shipping is marked as manual.
• Shipping and totals recalculate automatically when the address changes.

Chilean Carriers

• New Chilean carrier module supports Chilexpress, Starken, and Correos Chile; disabled by default.
• Create, print, download, cancel, or manually add tracking numbers from the order details.

System

• Database migrations run automatically during upgrade; no manual steps required.
• Security hardening.

This version adds Webpay Plus, a local payment method for Chile, with checkout and refund support in the shop; the shop module migration runs automatically during upgrade.

Payments

• Added Webpay Plus, a local payment method for Chile, supporting order creation, return confirmation, and full or partial refunds.
• The shop checkout, payment pages, and order display now support Webpay Plus; it is off by default and requires merchant details in the admin panel to enable.
• Amounts are handled as whole Chilean pesos; other currencies are rejected to avoid conversion errors.
• Duplicate returns or already-paid orders will not be charged twice, and cross-order payment tokens are rejected.
• If payment results do not match the local order, the system only records an audit entry and does not change the order status.

System

• Security hardening.

This version introduces a private extension system for enterprise customers, allowing custom features without modifying product source code, along with a private update channel and compatibility checks for smoother upgrades.

• Private modules are supported and managed alongside built-in modules; disabled private modules do not run data changes.
• If a private module has conflicts or missing dependencies, the admin panel shows diagnostic messages instead of taking the whole site down.
• A new read-only inspection tool lists conflicts, dependencies, compatibility and migration issues in plain language for delivery acceptance.

Private Updates

• A new private update channel can export private packages and install upgrades, with optional remote automatic updates.
• Remote automatic updates are off by default; without configuration, no online checks or installations occur.
• Private modules can declare compatible product version ranges, checked automatically before upgrades; incompatible upgrades are refused.
• After a product upgrade, private modules are notified; an individual handler error does not affect the overall upgrade.

Admin & Appearance

• Minor interface refinements.

System

• Security hardening.
• This version has no database migrations and no route or permission changes; no extra steps are needed after upgrading.
• Upgrading does not delete an existing private extension directory on the customer site; private code remains the customer’s responsibility.
