## Key Takeaways
- Summarizes the notable November 2022 updates outside the normal holiday release cycle
- Highlights the PWA Kit, Account Manager, and plugin_slas changes most relevant to active storefront teams
- Calls out bug fixes, new ideas, and cartridge releases worth tracking during the slower release period

It is a slow period in B2C Commerce Cloud update land as no significant [releases](/category/release-notes/) happen during the holiday period. But updates still occur in other places!

In this article, I consolidate all the updates I have found across the different areas encompassing Salesforce B2C Commerce Cloud.

## SFRA v6.3.0

A [maintenance release](https://github.com/SalesforceCommerceCloud/storefront-reference-architecture/releases/tag/v6.3.0) has happened with no more than updated dependencies. So nothing too exciting to mention here!

This usually means plugin cartridges (such as wishlist) have received updates, and the SFRA version has been “upped” to match.

In this case, it was a major update to [plugin\_slas](https://github.com/SalesforceCommerceCloud/plugin_slas/releases/tag/v6.3.0).

## PWA Kit v2.3.0

As expected, another big update hit the PWA Kit with quite [an extensive changelog](https://github.com/SalesforceCommerceCloud/pwa-kit/compare/v2.2.0...v2.3.0). The “spotlight” change is the added [React Query](https://tanstack.com/query/v4/docs/overview) support for the server side.

Some other noteworthy changes (besides bugfixes):

-   [New Einstein API activities](https://github.com/SalesforceCommerceCloud/pwa-kit/pull/714)
-   [Updated the demo ODS instance URL](https://github.com/SalesforceCommerceCloud/pwa-kit/pull/799)
-   [Performance improvement on the Managed Runtime](https://github.com/SalesforceCommerceCloud/pwa-kit/pull/720)

An [upgrade guide](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/commerce/pwa-kit-managed-runtime/guide/upgrade-to-v2-3.html) is available if you are already working with the PWA Kit and need to update to this version.

## Bugfixes

Even though there are no “big releases”, bugfix releases still happen in this period.

-   [basket.reserveInventory on Product Bundle fails with NPE when parent bundle item has null inventory record](https://trailblazer.salesforce.com/issues_view?id=a1p4V00000219j2QAA&title=basket-reserveinventory-on-product-bundle-fails-with-npe-when-parent-bundle-item-has-null-inventory-record)

## Account Manager

The Account Manager got some love again at the end of October (after my [last release notes post](/salesforce-b2c-commerce-cloud-october-updates/)).

-   Security Fixes

-   Bug Fixes

-   Usability Improvements to the API Client List Page

-   **[Updated API Client List Page](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.b2c_rn_am_api_client_list_page_je.htm&type=5&language=en_US)**


With the addition of two new columns and filters, the Account Manager API Client List page is now easier to use.
