Important system information: PHP compatibility

Please note: Since shop version 3.0.0 rev 15588, PHP 8.0 or later has been required. The new release also introduces support for PHP 8.4, ensuring strong future compatibility and performance on modern server architectures.

Future-ready interfaces & API restructuring

A central focus of version 3.2.0 is migrating and updating essential partner interfaces to modern REST APIs and current standards:

• DHL module: The old GKV SOAP API v1 has been replaced on schedule, and the module has been completely migrated to the modern REST API. A problem with the Closest Droppoint has also been fixed (`#3018`).
• CleverReach & Easycredit: CleverReach has been migrated to the new REST API module (`#1228`). Easycredit has been updated to API version 3.
• Payment & analytics updates: Updates for PayPal (including easier shipping method selection for Express Checkout `#1742` and fixes for purchase on invoice `#3057`, `#3069`), PAYONE (PayDirekt version 1.23 `#2749`), Klarna, Sofortüberweisung (`#2610`) and Google Analytics (item ID fix `#3100`).
• Inventory management & ERP: The CAO Faktura Connector (`#2731`) and the CAO interface have been fundamentally revised.

New features & highlights in the admin area

In addition to bug fixes, version 3.2.0 offers noticeable convenience improvements for everyday shop operations:

• Enhanced database manager: Individual tables can now be selectively restored from a complete database backup (`#2433`).
• Optimised image management: The “Delete old images” function has been revised (`#3053`) and now runs efficiently via Ajax. In addition, image-manipulator has been adapted for the WebP format (`#3099`).
• Flexible shop maintenance: Maintenance mode can now be conveniently started using a file.
• Practical improvements: Delivery time displayed directly in order editing, reviews sorted by date, dynamic robots.txt (`#3042`) and extended export modules including customer group and age 18 checks (`#6`).

Data protection & GDPR compliance

The update also brings important optimisations to the storage of personal data:

• Automatic IP deletion: IP addresses can be deleted automatically after a certain period (`#3059`), and the customers_ip table can also be emptied selectively (`#2989`).
• Consistent settings: The system configuration SAVE_IP_LOG is now applied consistently throughout the entire shop (`#3060`).

Stability, security & system maintenance

Numerous core components have been updated and secured behind the scenes:

• Library updates: GuzzleHttp has been upgraded to version 7.10.0 (`#2482`) and PHPMailer to version 7.0.0 (`#3064`).
• Layout & frontend fixes: H2 headings have been removed from product boxes (`#3043`), and mobile H2 tags in easyTabs.js have been corrected (`#2937`).
• Various bug fixes: Fixes for display and logic errors at checkout, autocomplete problems in address fields (`#2870`), favicon display in the backend (`#2873`) and various PHP warnings.
