Read the [22.6 release overview](/salesforce-b2c-commerce-the-22-6-release/). ## Social Commerce ![Social commerce artwork introducing the 22.7 release theme.](/salesforce-b2c-commerce-cloud-the-22-7-release/social-commerce-salesforce-a88048dff4_hu_2c1544f76f70918a.webp) Forward-looking statements apply! During the [Connections ‘22](/get-connected-at-salesforce-connections-2022/) event, it became apparent a more significant focus has been put on Social Commerce! I already mentioned this in the [22.5 release](/salesforce-b2c-commerce-the-22-5-release/), but a Tiktok and [Snapchat](https://forbusiness.snapchat.com/) integration is happening now. To access these BETA features, contact your CSM (Customer Success Manager)! ## Development ### Rhino Engine Whenever an update happens to the Rhino Engine, many developers (including me) have a smirk. It means we get to use more modern JavaScript in the back-end! Some of the highlights: - [Shorthand property names](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/Object_initializer) - New JavaScript primitive type [`bigint`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/BigInt), replaces `dw.util.BigInteger` - [Template literal](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Template_literals?retiredLocale=nl) support - [`Object.values`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Object/values) / [`Object.entries`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Object/entries) / … For a complete list, you can have a look at [the documentation](https://documentation.b2c.commercecloud.salesforce.com/DOC3/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.demandware.dochelp%2Fcontent%2Fb2c_commerce%2Ftopics%2Fsite_development%2Fb2c_compatibility_mode_considerations.html). If we look at this list, it is also clear this is an update to the 1.7.14 version of the engine. To get a complete list of what is possible, you can look at the [support list on the official website](https://mozilla.github.io/rhino/compat/engines.html). ### API Encryption Parameter Has Been Changed Some significant encryption changes have been made to the [Order.getOrderExportXML](https://documentation.b2c.commercecloud.salesforce.com/DOC3/topic/com.demandware.dochelp/DWAPI/scriptapi/html/api/class_dw_order_Order.html#dw_order_Order_getOrderExportXML_DetailAnchor) API, mainly around the encryption of payment instrument data. A complete list of changes is available [in the order export encryption update notes](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.rn_b2c_OCAPI_order_export_mc.htm&type=5). ## PWA Kit v2.0.0 A big release a lot of people have been waiting for. Focussing mainly on developer experience, this is an important release to set a solid base to support development for the future to come. - 🥳 TypeScript support. The build tools now support TypeScript by default—without having to update the configuration files for Babel or Webpack. - 🧰 An updated development server that supports hot reloading on the server-side and makes it possible to support hot reloading on the client-side in a future release. - 🤓 An all-new command-line tool called pwa-kit-dev that bundles our recommended development tools like Webpack, Babel, and Jest to support zero-config project templates. - 🖌️ Experimental support for non-React apps for those users interested in using Managed Runtime to host other Express-based apps (not just the Retail React App). For a full changelog, have a look at the [GitHub Repository](https://github.com/SalesforceCommerceCloud/pwa-kit/releases/tag/v2.0.0). ## Bugfixes I had a look at the “[Known Issues](https://trailblazer.salesforce.com/issues_index?page=2&tag=Commerce+Cloud+Platform),” but I could not find any new “resolved” items for this 22.7 release. ## Updated Cartridges & Tools A new section to this monthly blogpost that I found could be handy for some people. The cartridges that have received updates in the past 30 days! Not all of them will be listed here, and I will mainly focus on [Salesforce and Community cartridges](/community-repositories/). ### [b2c-tools (v0.7.1)](https://github.com/SalesforceCommerceCloud/b2c-tools/releases/tag/v0.7.1) > b2c-tools is a CLI tool and library for data migrations, import/export, scripting and other tasks with SFCC B2C instances.
