WooCommerce 2.6.1 Fix Release

The WooCommerce update 2.6.1 was released on June 16 and contains fixes for several minor issues and some small tweaks.

List of changes:

• Fix – Added missing localized format for line taxes in orders screen to prevent total miscalculation in manual orders.
• Fix – Improved the hour and time fields validation pattern on the orders screen.
• Fix – PayPal does not allow free products, but paid shipping. Workaround by sending shipping as a line item if it is the only cost.
• Fix – SKUs prop on products shortcode.
• Fix – Layered nav counts when term_id does not match term_taxonomy_id (before splitting).
• Fix – Fixed referer links from cart messages in WP 4.4.
• Fix – Fix the showing/hiding of panels when terms do not exist by using wc_get_product_types() for retrieving product types.
• Dev – content-product.php and content-product_cat.php contained the wrong version.
• Dev – Show «matching zone» notice on the frontend when shipping debug mode is on.
• Dev – Restored missing WC_Settings_API::init_form_fields() method to prevent potential errors in 3rd party gateways.
• Dev – API – Fixed returned data from product images.
• Dev – API – Fixed products schema for grouped_products.
• Dev – API – Fixed products attribute options when contains ,.
• Tweak – Hide ‹payment methods› screen if no methods support it.
• Tweak – If shipping method count changes, reset to default.
• Tweak – Avoid normalization of zone postcodes so wildcard matching can be performed on postcodes with spaces.
• Tweak – Allow max_fee in addition to min_fee in flat rate costs fields.
• Tweak – Wrap order_schema_markup() output in hidden div in case script tag is stripped.

More detailed information for all updates can be read in the WooCommerce changelog or developer blog.
