2.3.0

⚡ Features

• Shopify Dynamic Sections: Edgemesh now automatically bypasses cache for any sections containing the word cart. This improvement facilitates seamless integration with incrementally updating carts.

• Preview Theme Cache Testing: Added the ability to utilize the em-enable-caching search parameter to allow for cache testing on preview themes. Since preview themes automatically bypass cache, this feature enables comprehensive cache testing during integration.

✨ Enhancements

• Improved UTM Parsing: Enhanced UTM parameter parsing in Insights, adding support for Northbeam and Triple Whale parameter schemas to improve data accuracy.

• Improved Caching Strategy for Logged In Customers: With this patch, we've refined our caching strategy to better handle logged-in customers. This update reduces onboarding and maintenance overhead, enabling seamless integration with vendors that rely on customer ID and other customer data. Additionally, it restores the accuracy of customer based Shopify analytics.

🐞 Bug Fixes

• Article Page Classification: Resolved an issue where article page types were incorrectly classified in Insights data collection, ensuring accurate data categorization.

🔒 Security Patches

• Addressed a minor security vulnerability that could potentially allow phishing attacks on Edgemesh-enabled websites, enhancing overall security.

2.2.0

✨ Enhancements

• Dynamic Attributes: Added the ability to define dynamic fragments via the dynamic attribute. This is useful for circumstances where using the <dynamic> element would result in CSS rules that rely on children selectors ceasing to function properly. For example div.cart:first-child. Utilizing the dynamic attribute will keep your HTML structure intact, allowing you to use dynamic fragments without needing to change your stylesheets. For detailed information, visit the documentation.
• Default Content for Dynamic Fragments: Added the ability to define default content for dynamic fragments. This content will be displayed while the dynamic content is loaded. This is designed to prevent layout shifts and to allow for better user experience. For detailed information, visit the documentation.

• Timestamp Added to Requests to Shopify's Origin CDN: Added timestamps to requests sent to Shopify's origin CDN at /cdn/shop to regain control over the caching behavior, improving cache management and performance.
