Magento Open Source 2.4.1 Release Notes

Magento Open Source 2.4.1 introduces enhancements to performance and security. Security enhancements include support for the SameSite attribute for cookies and the addition of CAPTCHA protection for payment-related and order-related API endpoints and the Place Order storefront page.

This release includes all improvements to core quality that were included in Magento 2.4.0, over 150 new fixes to core code, and over 15 security enhancements. It includes the resolution of almost 300 GitHub issues by our community members. These community contributions range from minor clean-up of core code to significant enhancements in GraphQL.

All known issues identified in Magento 2.4.0 have been fixed in this release.

Quarterly releases may contain backward-incompatible changes (BIC). Magento 2.4.1 contains minor backward-incompatible changes. To review minor backward-incompatible changes, see BIC reference. (Major backward-incompatible issues are described in BIC highlights. Not all releases introduce major BICs.)
Security-only patch available

Merchants can now install time-sensitive security fixes without applying the hundreds of functional fixes and enhancements that a full quarterly release (for example, Magento 2.4.0-p1) provides. Patch 2.4.0.1 (Composer package 2.4.0-p1) is a security-only patch that provides fixes for vulnerabilities that have been identified in our previous quarterly release, Magento 2.4.0. All hot fixes that were applied to the 2.4.0 release are included in this security-only patch. (A hot fix provides a fix to a released version of Magento that addresses a specific problem or bug.)

For general information about security-only patches, see the Magento DevBlog post Introducing the New Security-only Patch Release. For instructions on downloading and applying security-only patches (including patch 2.3.5-p2), see Install Magento using Composer. Security-only patches include security bug fixes only, not the additional security enhancements that are included in the full patch.
Other release information

Although code for these features is bundled with quarterly releases of the Magento core code, several of these projects (for example, Progressive Web Applications (PWA) Studio) are also released independently. Bug fixes for these projects are documented in the separate, project-specific release information that is available in the documentation for each project.
Highlights

Look for the following highlights in this release.
Substantial security enhancements

This release includes over 15 security fixes and platform security improvements. All security fixes have been backported to Magento 2.4.0-p1 and Magento 2.3.6.
Over 15 security enhancements that help close remote code execution (RCE) and cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities

No confirmed attacks related to these issues have occurred to date. However, certain vulnerabilities can potentially be exploited to access customer information or take over administrator sessions. Most of these issues require that an attacker first obtains access to the Admin. As a result, we remind you to take all necessary steps to protect your Admin, including but not limited to these efforts: IP allowlisting, two-factor authentication, use of a VPN, the use of a unique location rather than /admin, and good password hygiene. See Security Updates Available for Magento for a discussion of these fixed issues.
Additional security enhancements

Security improvements for this release include:

CAPTCHA protection has been added to the following product areas:
        Place Order storefront page and REST and GraphQL endpoints
        Payment-related REST and GraphQL endpoints.

CAPTCHA protection for these additional pages is disabled by default. It can be enabled on the Admin in the same way that other pages covered by CAPTCHA are. This protection has been added as an anti-brute force mechanism to protect stores against carding attacks. See CAPTCHA.

Support for the SameSite attribute for cookies. To support the Google Chrome enforcement of the new cookie classification system, Magento classes that handle cookies have been updated to support the SameSite cookie attribute. This attribute is set to Lax by default but can be explicitly overridden.

Enhanced Magento Scan Tool. Adobe has partnered with Sanguine Security, a leader in preventing digital skimming, to integrate their database of over 8700 threat signatures into the Magento Security Scan Tool. This partnership will enable merchants to get real-time insights into the security status of their site through proactive detection of malware and reduction of false positives. Merchants can register for the tool by visiting https://account.magento.com/scanner. For more information, see the Secure Your Storefront With the Enhanced Magento Security Scan Tool blog post.

Starting with the release of Magento Commerce 2.3.2, Magento will assign and publish indexed Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) numbers with each security bug reported to us by external parties. This allows users of Magento Commerce to more easily identify unaddressed vulnerabilities in their deployment. You can learn more about CVE identifiers at CVE.
Infrastructure improvements

This release contains enhancements to core quality, which improve the quality of the Framework and these functional areas: Customer Account, Catalog, CMS, OMS, Import/Export, Promotions and Targeting, Cart and Checkout, and Staging and Preview.
Performance improvements

Reduction in the size of network transfers between Redis and Magento. Plugin list configuration is now generated during the execution of the bin/magento di:compile command. This configuration information is written to generated metadata folders based on scope. Previously, this information was stored in cache. Resulting performance improvements include a decrease in network cache size and execution time for many scenarios.

Enhanced message queue consumer performance. Three new configuration settings support a decrease in consumer queue CPU consumption. These optional parameters provide increased control over consumers and save server resources. See Configure message queues for a description of the maxIdleTime, sleep, and onlySpawnWhenMessageAvailable parameters.

Improved execution time for bin/magento commands.

Adobe Stock Integration

This release includes Adobe Stock Integration v2.1.0.
New Media Gallery

The New Media Gallery is now enabled by default in the Admin. Merchants can now perform these actions on images in the Media Gallery:

Delete images in bulk
    Optimize media storage by identifying duplicate images and images that are not used on the storefront
    Filter images by the storefront area they are used in, including product and category content and CMS blocks
    Work with image metadata
        View metadata from the images uploaded into Media Gallery
        Edit image metadata (title, description, and keywords)
        Search for images by their metadata

GraphQL

This release adds GraphQL coverage for the following features:

Product reviews. Customers and guests can write product reviews. Customers can retrieve their product review histories. See Create a product review and productReviewRatingsMetadata query for information on retrieving information about the reviews infrastructure.

Gift options. All customers and guests can add a gift message to their order. Customers can also add gift wrapping, gift receipts, and printed cards to the order. See setGiftOptionsOnCart mutation and updateCartItems mutation

Order history. All customers can view details about their order histories, including invoices, shipping, and refunds.

Add to cart. The addProductsToCart mutation allows you to add any type of product to the active cart. We recommend using this mutation instead of single-purpose mutations such as addSimpleProductsToCart. Fix submitted by Yaroslav Rogoza in pull request 27914. GitHub-28524

Stored payment methods. Logged-in customers can now store payment details (including Braintree credit card and Braintree with PayPal) in My Account.

Support for wish lists in Magento Open Source. Added support for Open Source wish lists. You can add items to, update items in, and remove items from a wish list.

Improved management of customer accounts. We have added the createCustomerV2 and updateCustomerV2 mutations to manage customer accounts. These new mutations require different input objects than the createCustomer and updateCustomer mutations. To change a customer’s email address, use the new updateCustomerEmail mutation.

Support for Payflow Pro Vault. Added GraphQL Vault support for the Payflow Pro Vault payment method. Fix submitted by Oleh Usik in pull request 28821. GitHub-28520

Updated the GraphQL storeConfig query to include new customer configuration settings. Fix submitted by Oleh Usik in pull request 27876. GitHub-28521

Added the requestPasswordResetEmail mutation, which triggers the password reset email for the provided email address. Fix submitted by Oleh Usik in pull request 27876. GitHub-28521

Klarna GraphQL. Added or updated topics on Klarna GraphQL in Klarna’s payment method and createKlarnaPaymentsSession

See the GraphQL Developer Guide for details on these enhancements.

Updates to the Venia style guide that apply to design tokens, typography, colors, core components, and page layouts.

Improvements to the Venia mini-cart experience

Initial support for multiple locales and localized content on the Venia storefront

Numerous improvements to the My Account experience of the Venia storefront

Fixed issues

We have fixed hundreds of issues in the Magento 2.4.1 core code.
Installation, upgrade, deployment

Installation of Magento with third-party extensions that have dependencies on APIs for the Store module in CLI commands no longer fails. Previously, Magento displayed this error message: The default website isn't defined. Set the website and try again. This was a known issue in Magento 2.4.0.

bin/magento setup:di:compile no longer throws a fatal error. Previously, Magento threw an error the first time you ran this command, but the second execution resulted in successful compilation.

Upgrade no longer fails when a plugin is declared on Magento\Framework\Encryption\Encryptor.

Magento now displays an informative error message when some themes are not deployed after running bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy. Previously, when deployment completed successfully but not all packages were deployed, Magento did not display an error. When the command is executed with enabled parallel processing and each theme requires more time to be deployed then the specified maximum execution time, this command can finish successfully, although themes are not deployed.

The Use default checkbox for Klarna payments (Stores > Configuration > Sales > Payment methods > Klarna) now remain checked as expected when website scope changes.

Upgrade no longer results in the sudden failure of the Galera cluster. Previously, the Galera cluster exited abruptly after re-indexing immediately after upgrade. During Magento upgrade, index tables are altered, and the engine is changed from MEMORY to InnoDB. At this point, the content of these tables became out-of-sync between the nodes of the Galera cluster. GitHub-25334

Disabling the PageBuilder module no longer affects the rendering of the product page. Previously, custom layouts on the product page disappeared when the module was disabled, and Magento displayed a blank page.

You can now use bin/magento sampledata:deploy to deploy sample data as expected after installing Magento using Composer. Previously, Magento threw this error: Git installations must deploy sample data from GitHub; see https://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.3/install-gde/install/sample-data-after-clone.html for more information. Fix submitted by Andrii Beziazychnyi in pull request 27481. GitHub-19481

Storefront performance has improved by eliminating the unnecessary loading of the Datepicker component. Fix submitted by Mateusz Krzeszowiak in pull request 27860. GitHub-28823

Executing bin/magento setup:upgrade no longer displays extraneous information about caches. Fix submitted by Sathish Subramanian in pull request 27567. GitHub-27091

Running bin/magento config:show <vendor_module>/general/value now returns 0 or an empty string as expected. Previously, it returned Configuration for path: "vendor_module/general/value" doesn't exist. Fix submitted by Vadim Malesh in pull request 28549. GitHub-23290

bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy --language=all now deploys all languages that are used on the storefront and all languages configured by Admin users when no language parameter is set. (en_US is always deployed by default.) Fix submitted by Anton Evers in pull request 28922. GitHub-29218

Magento no longer displays the Backup menu when the Backup feature is disabled. Fix submitted by Eden Duong in pull request 29222. GitHub-29280

Catalog image helper initialization now uses the product model instead of DataObject. Fix submitted by jmonteros422 in pull request 29435. GitHub-1711

Admin users can now save an empty Customer Token Lifetime (hours) field (Admin Stores > Configurations > Services > OAuth > Access Token Expiration). GitHub-29502

The Create Permanent Redirect for old URL setting is now disabled by default for categories. Fix submitted by Vadim Malesh in pull request 28752. GitHub-24922

Adobe Stock Integration

Added support for reading exif_image.png or exif-image.jpeg metadata. Fix submitted by Nazar Klovanych in pull request 29576. GitHub-1449

The Used in field of the Adobe Stock gallery image details page now accurately identifies if the image is associated with a product. Fix submitted by Nazar Klovanych in pull request 28798. GitHub-1474

\Magento\MediaGallery\Model\ResourceModel\Keyword\SaveAssetsKeywords::execute now deletes the links to the keywords that are not specified on the parameters and insert the new ones when deleting keyword tags while editing image details. Fix submitted by jmonteros422 in pull request 29207. GitHub-1391

The Login failed message that Magento displays when a merchant clicks License for a previously saved, unlicensed Adobe Stock image no longer contains HTML tags. Fix submitted by yolouiese in pull request 29398. GitHub-1684

Clicking on the links in the Used in section of the image Details page now displays a grid that displays all entities that are filtered by the image. The asset filter is also set and displayed correctly. Previously, Magento did not display the asset title in the Applied filters section. Fix submitted by Nazar Klovanych in pull request 29367. GitHub-1694

Magento no longer displays the Used in section of the image Details page when the image is not in use. Fix submitted by Nazar Klovanych in pull request 29367. GitHub-1699

Magento now adds tags correctly when you edit multiple images successively in the Media Gallery. Fix submitted by Nazar Klovanych in pull request 29429. [GitHub-1755](https://github.com/magento/adobe-stock-integration/issues/1755

Magento now removes tags for Adobe Stock images after a merchant deletes the tags and saves the image details. Previously, tags were not deleted until the page was refreshed. Fix submitted by Honeymay Louiese Ignacio in pull request 29400. GitHub-1703

Amazon Pay

Amazon Pay now checks whether a user is already logged in before rendering payment options.

Issues with multi-factor authentication and abandoned carts have been resolved.

Amazon Pay now correctly populates the store name in emails and other displayed locations.  If the Store Name field in Amazon Pay configuration is empty, the extension retrieves the store’s default name (that is, the name you give your store in Magento Admin).

Localization/translation issues for Decline scenarios have been addressed. Displayed text is no longer always in English.

Bundle products

Magento no longer throws an exception when you try to create a product in a deployment in which Inventory is installed but the Magento_InventoryBundleProduct module is disabled.

Fix submitted by Michał Derlatka in pull request 29256. GitHub-26110
Cache

Local cache storage is now retained for the period of time set in Stores > Configuration > General > Web > Default Cookie Settings. Previously, the expiry date of cookies was hard-coded to one day, which put it out of sync with this setting. As a result, welcome messages did not retain returning customer information for the expected duration.

The number of calls to page cache config has been reduced. Fix submitted by Lukasz Bajsarowicz in pull request 28992. GitHub-29159

Varnish no longer throws a Connection reset by peer error when a large catalog is reindexed on schedule. Fix submitted by Matthew O’Loughlin in pull request 26256. GitHub-8815

Full page cache is no longer cleared for unrelated products when a product has been edited in the Admin. GitHub-25670

Cart and checkout

Direct SQL queries have been replaced by Data Provider, which has improved checkout performance. Fix submitted by Lukasz Bajsarowicz in pull request 29376. GitHub-29453

The Products in the Comparison and the Recently Compared Products lists now work as expected. Previously, when the comparison list was expanded, Magento did not display products, even though the section indicated that the list contained products.

The Delete button on the Add to Shopping Cart by SKU section of a customer’s Manage Shopping Cart page now works as expected when multiple rows are selected.

Magento no longer throws an error when you try to order a product by SKU when the digits you enter match a valid SKU but the case of these digits differ. Previously, when you entered an SKU on My Account > Order by SKU that did not exactly match a valid SKU, Magento threw an error.

A customer’s shipping address is now selected by default at checkout when the address is located in the country identified on the Allow Countries list and that list includes only that country. Previously, Magento did not select the address as default and displayed this error message: Please specify a regionId in shipping address.

Merchants can now enable Apply to Shipping Amount in the Action tab of Marketing > Cart Price Rules > Add New Rule when Fixed amount discount for whole cart is applied. GitHub-24422

Magento no longer throws an exception when a shopper tries to unset the persistence cookie after beginning checkout and then navigating to the storefront home page. Previously, when the shopper clicked the Not you? link on the home page, Magento threw this exception: The shipping address is missing. Set the address and try again. GitHub-24218

Magento now displays an add-to-cart success message when a customer adds an out-of-stock product to their cart. Previously, the product was added, but Magento did not display a success message.

Custom address attributes are now included as expected in the form that displays for the payment step in the checkout workflow.

The State/Province/Region input box is now enabled as expected on My account > Address Book > Add new address.

Discounts are now applied as expected to shipping charges when Apply to Shipping Amount is enabled. Fix submitted by Andrii Kalinich in pull request 28839. GitHub-26723

The code that supports closing the mini cart has been refactored to remove the closeSidebar function. The appropriate click binding has been added to the [data-action="close"] element. Fix submitted by lumnn in pull request 28906. GitHub-29161

The new Show “Clear Shopping Cart” button on the cart page configuration setting provides control over displaying a Clear Cart button on the shopping cart view page. By default, this setting is disabled. Fix submitted by Pavlo Sydorenko in pull request 27917. GitHub-28705

Validation has been added to the phone field in the checkout workflow. Fix submitted by Oleh Usik in pull request 27537. GitHub-28800

Guest checkout is now disabled as expected when a cart contains downloadable products when the Shareable and Disable Guest Checkout if Cart Contains Downloadable Items settings are disabled. Fix submitted by Rani Priya in pull request 23972. GitHub-23971

The success message that Magento displays when a shopper adds a product to their cart from the customer account sidebar now contains a link to the shopper’s shopping cart. Fix submitted by Ajith in pull request 27977. GitHub-29097

Magento now displays a customer registration form when a guest user completes checkout.

Custom customer address attributes fields are now displayed as expected in the storefront checkout workflow.

Magento now retrieves the current customer group for an active quote during checkout. Previously, Magento used the customer group that was active when the product was first added to the cart, and if that customer group was deleted before checkout, Magento threw an error. Fix submitted by Konstantin in pull request 28902. GitHub-29327

Catalog

Magento now removes disabled products from a shopper’s cart before checkout. Previously, when a shopper added a product to their cart that was disabled before checkout completed, Magento removed the disabled product from the cart, but the product remained in the quote, and the shopper could not check out. GitHub-26680

Magento now sorts bestselling products as expected. Previously, both product count and the pagination of sort results were incorrect. GitHub-25955

Shoppers can now open a product’s detail page by clicking on the product name in the compare products sidebar. Fix submitted by Eduard Chitoraga in pull request 27451. GitHub-21101

children_count values now remain positive when an administrator deletes categories. Previously, when an administrator deleted categories, the children_count for remaining categories was negative. Fix submitted by Vitaliy Prokopov in pull request 28044. GitHub-27969

Magento now uses the default option (Configuration > Web > Default Layouts > Default Product Layout) that you have selected for the page_layout attribute when creating a new product. Previously, your selected default value was not applied.

You can now successfully perform mass actions on Inventory product stock. Previously, when you tried to perform a mass action on inventory product stock, Magento displayed a blank page. If you performed this action with Magento in developer mode, Magento threw this error: Notice: Undefined offset: 32000 in /Users/kodithuw/sites/m23inventory/inventory/InventoryCatalogAdminUi/view/adminhtml/templates/catalog/product/edit/action/inventory.phtml on line 24.

Configurable products

Pagination problems with the Configurable Product Edit Current Variations list have been corrected.

Magento no longer updates the Related Products price box whenever a shopper selects options for a configurable product. Previously, Magento updated the price box whenever a shopper selected an option for a configurable product.

Magento now displays the correct price for configurable products with customizable options on the Admin Create Order page. As expected, the displayed price is a sum of the child product’s price and the custom option’s price. Previously, Magento displayed only the custom option price. GitHub-25766

The order summary now displays the correct discount amount when a cart price rule has been applied. Previously, the rule did not correctly round amounts when calculating shipping discounts.

Admin user accounts created from an admin account with a restricted scope can now create a configurable product with attributes as expected. Previously, Magento threw this error: Notice: Undefined index: value_index in 23develop/app/code/Magento/ConfigurableProduct/Helper/Product/Options/Factory.php on line 101.

Magento no longer throws a validation error when you use POST /V1/products to a configurable product with an int value of 0. Previously, Magento threw this error: Product with id "%1" does not contain required attribute “%2”.” Fix submitted by Vadim Malesh in pull request 29001. GitHub-13210

cron

Message queue consumer configuration has been extended with new parameters that help control consumers and save server resources and that potentially decrease consumer queue CPU consumption:
        maxIdleTime defines the maximum waiting time in seconds for a new message from the queue.
        sleep specifies time in seconds to sleep before checking if a new message is available in the queue.
        onlySpawnWhenMessageAvailable identifies whether a consumer should be spawned only when an available message exists in the related queue. This setting is enabled globally by default for all consumers but can be configured per consumer.

cron expressions such as  3/10 * * * * are now scheduled as expected. Fix submitted by Anton Evers in pull request 28930. GitHub-29240

sales_clean_quotes no longer loads all expired quotes at once. Previously, Magento failed with this fatal error because all expired quotes were loaded simultaneously: PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 2147483648 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 20480 bytes) in /path/to/magento2/vendor/magento/framework/Model/AbstractModel.php on line 359,

CSS

Magento no longer duplicates CSS when Critical CSS is enabled. Fix submitted by Tu Nguyen in pull request 28480. GitHub-26498

The server-side LESS compiler now imports all remote CSS files as expected when you run bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy -f. Previously, Magento did not import the remote files and threw an error. GitHub-25119

Customer

The region names in Admin customer addresses are now translated as expected.

The State/Province fields are now populated as expected on the Edit Address page (My Account > Address book).

Magento no longer throws an error when a customer clicks the Submit button multiple times on forms throughout the storefront for which invisible reCAPTCHA has been enabled. Previously, clicking this button multiple times resulted in an internal error similar to this: Internal error: Make sure you are using reCaptcha V3 api keys.

Saving a deleted customer from the Admin now generates an error message only. Previously, Magento displayed a blank page and generated a report that contains this string: "0":"No such entity with customerId = 3","1":"#1 Magento\\Customer\\Model CustomerRegistry->retrieve() called at [app\/code\/Magento\/Customer\/Model\/ResourceModel\/CustomerRepository.php:340".

Magento now displays an error message as expected when an administrator tries to save an address for a customer whose account has just been deleted. Previously, Magento displayed a blank message box.

The labels for address fields in the checkout workflow and the address book have been edited for consistency.

Frontend labels now fall back to store labels if their values are not null. Previously, customer attributes used the default frontend labels. Fix submitted by Toan Nguyen in pull request 27064. GitHub-27063

The sortOrdernumber of links in layout XML has been corrected. Previously, this order was reversed and used descending order. Fix submitted by Tu Nguyen in pull request 27340. GitHub-27162

Directory

The format of the State/Province drop-down menu is now consistent across the Admin.

dotdigital

Order sync no long fails when an order contains product SKUs that no longer exist in the catalog.

Empty product categories are no longer included in web insight data.

Web behavior tracking now works for merchants with certain theme configurations. A new fallback selector addresses this.

The subscriber status data field no loner includes empty values when customer sync was run using cron. (App emulation addresses this issue.)

Address book mapping now works as expected when a dotdigital account is enabled at the default level but disabled for the main website.

Coupons are now generated (using the external dynamic content URL for coupon generation) for email addresses that contain plus (‘+’) signs.

Contacts are no longer resubscribed when their last_subscribed_at value is null.

Upgrade errors (dating from 4.5.2) that affected earlier Magento versions have been resolved.

A regression issue that was introduced in 4.5.3 that affected using a method to obtain the subscriber status when preparing subscriber export has been fixed.

The total figure for synced subscribers (presented in the logs and on screen) is now correctly calculated.

Downloadable

The My Downloadable Products area now displays links to purchased downloadable products that are part of a grouped product as expected.

Clicking on a downloadable product’s Sample button from the Admin product page now downloads a sample as expected. Previously, when you clicked Sample, Magento displayed this error: The product that was requested doesn't exist. Verify the product and try again.

Shoppers can now download samples of downloadable products that are out-of-stock.

The order status for a credit memo with zero total is now Closed. Previously, Magento reported its order status as Complete. Fix submitted by Andrii Kalinich in pull request 29023. GitHub-22762

Payment methods

Magento now displays a message that prompts you to enter mandatory credit card data when you click Submit for an Admin order without entering valid payment information. Previously, the Braintree card validator did not throw an error when payment input fields were invalid and the page became inactive.

You can now change the shipping method for an order you create from the Admin for a customer whose account has a stored credit card (Braintree). Previously, when you selected a different shipping method, the stored card was not selected, and Magento did not place the order.

PayPal

The Order Review page of the checkout workflow now displays the correct shipping amount for PayPal through Braintree orders for which the shipping method has been changed during checkout. Previously, when a customer changed the shipping method on the PayPal Order Review page of the checkout workflow, Magento did not update the order total with the correct method.

Merchants can now successfully cancel orders that were authorized using PayPal. Previously, Magento did not cancel the order and displayed this error: Declined: 10601-Authorization has expired.

Magento no longer empties your cart when you cancel an order by closing the PayPal payment popup window after first completing another order.

Performance

Three new configuration settings support a decrease in consumer queue CPU consumption. These optional parameters provide increased control over consumers and save server resources. See Configure message queues for a description of the maxIdleTime, sleep, and onlySpawnWhenMessageAvailable parameters.

Plugin list configuration is now generated during the execution of the di:compile command. This configuration information is written to generated metadata folders based on scope. Previously, this information was stored in cache. Resulting performance improvements include:
        Network cache size has decreased
        Execution time for many scenarios has been improved.

Magento now loads the appropriate slider widget on demand, which has improved page loading. The touch slider widget customization has been moved to a separate file so it can be loaded only on compatible devices. The appropriate slider widget type is now loaded only when range binding is actually used on the page. Fix submitted by Mateusz Krzeszowiak in pull request 27616. GitHub-28807

The performance of checkout with multiple simultaneous orders has been improved.

Deadlocks no longer occur when the import process executes a bulk insert and the re-index process simultaneously executes a large insert from select. Previously, Magento displayed this error: PDOException: SQLSTATE[40001]: Serialization failure: 1213 Deadlock found when trying to get lock. GitHub-8933

Reviews

A unique key for entity_pk_value-entity_type-store_id has been added to the review_entity_summary table, which prevents the creation of duplicate rows for the same product ID (entity_pk_value). Previously, this lack of unique key resulted in duplicate rows for the same product ID and SQL errors.

Sales

Magento no longer assigns a status of Complete after invoicing an order that requires zero payment.

The New Shipment email generated by the REST API now contains the same shipping and customer information as shipments that are created manually from the Admin. Previously, this email did not contain the customer name, tracking information, products ordered, and other order information.

Guest user names are now visible as expected in invoice- and shipment-related emails when the emails are loaded or customized from the Admin.

The PDF invoice is now translated into the language of the store view where the order has been placed. Previously, the PDF invoice was translated in the language of the Admin.

You can now issue a refund as expected from the credit memo page. GitHub-29014

Localised region names that are displayed on the storefront Order page are now correctly translated. Previously, the region name was not based on the specified locale unless it was edited in the Admin.

Shipments created through the POST /rest/V1/shipment endpoint now update orders properly. Previously, Magento created a shipment, but shipment status remained in the processing state.

Credit memos now display the payment method that is derived from the scope of the store in which the order was made. Previously, credit memos displayed the name as defined the default store scope. Fix submitted by Ledian Hymetllari in pull request 27582. GitHub-27570

You can now search for products by attribute from the Admin Customer view using QuickSearch. Previously, an exception occurred on the catalog search result page.

Magento now displays configurable products on the category page as expected after you add a product attribute.

Elasticsearch results now include the correct values for each store view’s attribute options. If a Dropdown or Multiple Select attribute has a different option value in the non-default store view than in the default store view, Elasticsearch now indexes that value or returns the product with that value in the results. Previously, Elasticsearch did not index that value or return the product with that value in the results.

Searching by SKU now works as expected in advanced search with Elasticsearch. Previously, when you tried to search by SKU, Magento displayed this error message: We can't find any items matching these search criteria. Modify your search.

Advanced search no longer lets shoppers filter on negative prices. Fix submitted by Rohan Hapani in pull request 27359. GitHub-27358

Scope values are now reset as expected on the New Synonym Group form. Fix submitted by Sathish Subramanian in pull request 29206. GitHub-28947

Shipping

Magento now calculates shipping table rates correctly after upgrade. Previously, shipping table rates were calculated based on net price, which excluded VAT.

Magento now displays shipping rates in the correct currency in the checkout workflow for orders specifying FedEx as the shipping method.

Multi-page PDFs of shipping labels for orders shipped by UPS now display the correct count.

Problems with the JavaScript components of the Create Packages page have been resolved. Previously, Magento did not display the Create Shipping Label checkbox on this page, and you could not create a shipping label for an existing order.

Sitemap

The sitemap in robots.txt is now store-specific. Fix submitted by Vadim Malesh in pull request 29331. GitHub-28901

Encoded values are now correctly escaped in the sitemap.xml file. Previously, when you included encoded characters in a product name or image title, the generated sitemap was invalid.

Store

Deleting a previously created store view no longer results in an error in deployments with a split database configuration. Previously, Magento threw an exception.

You can now export config.php and default website code from one website to install and configure Magento on a second website in a multi website deployment. Previously, the default store and view disappeared after the export, and errors occurred on the storefront.

Swagger

You can now generate a customer token with Swagger. Previously, Swagger did not generate a response code when valid customer access information was entered, and Magento displayed this error: The account sign-in was incorrect or your account is disabled temporarily. Please wait and try again later. Fix submitted by Vadim Malesh in pull request 28822. GitHub-27098

Swatches

Configurable products with swatches now show tier pricing when a shopper clicks Edit in the cart. Previously, Magento did not display tier prices in the cart before checkout. Fix submitted by Sathish Subramanian in pull request 29137. GitHub-28270

Magento now displays tier prices as expected for configurable product variations.

Tax

Magento no longer displays a fixed product tax attribute on the storefront for a product after a merchant has unassigned it from the product’s attribute set.

Fix submitted by Alexander Menk in pull request 27338. GitHub-26682

Known issues

Issue: The new CAPTCHA feature for checkout does not work as expected on the Place Order page when using third-party payment providers. Merchants running Magento 2.3.6 or 2.4.1 who have enabled CAPTCHA protection on the Place Order storefront page will see this error when checking out using a third-party payment provider such as PayPal: Please provide CAPTCHA code and try again. A fix for this issue be available in the next few weeks, and will be included in our next quarterly patch (Q12021). Please contact Support for additional information.

Issue: Users without administrator privileges cannot currently set up their personal 2FA access. 2FA as implemented in Magento includes two ACL roles. One role affects global system configuration and it is needed only when configuring the system. The second ACL role affects individual user 2FA accounts. An admin user must configure this second type of 2FA ACL. Workaround: After the user has logged in and seen the Access denied screen, they can visit https://<magento store>/<admin_path>/tfa/tfa/requestconfig/ to force configuration. Note: We do not recommend disabling security settings. However, this workaround is effective only when Admin URL secret keys are disabled.

Issue: Merchants cannot log in to dotdigital from the Admin in Safari when dotdigital is enabled. See the It’s impossible to login in the dotdigital via admin panel when dotdigital account is enabled Knowledge Base article.

Issue: Vertex address validation does not work during payment when the shopper selects a shipping address that differs from the billing address. The issue will be fixed in Magento 2.4.2. See the Magento 2.4.1 known issue: Vertex Address Validation message does not disappear after updating address Knowledge Base article.

Issue: Magento displays an empty page when a merchant saves a dotdigital Page Builder form on the Safari browser. Workaround: Reload the page to apply your changes. See the Magento 2.4.1 known issue: empty page after saving dotdigital Page Builder form Knowledge Base article.

Issue: Under certain conditions, Magento automatically signs in customers to previously used Amazon accounts rather prompting them to log in during checkout with Amazon Pay. See the Magento 2.4.1 known issue: unable to change Amazon account in Google Chrome Knowledge Base article.

Issue: Magento briefly displays an error message on the billing page of the checkout workflow when PayPal Braintree payment and multiple addresses shipment are selected. See the Magento 2.4.1 known issue: error popping up on Checkout with PayPal Braintree Knowledge Base article.

Issue: Magento displays a non-informative error message when a guest customer tries to place an order with PayPal through Braintree when guest checkout is disabled. See the Magento 2.4.1 known issue: non-informative error message during guest checkout using Paypal through Braintree Knowledge Base article.
