New in this version

This release contains minor improvements and bugfixes from the Cloudscraper development team. Magento 2.4.3 with security patch 1 is the base for this release.

Category URLs

Due to remaining, but unused url_path for products, the category URLs were not correct when using the tool to create the URL rewrites.

We have cleaned up the database to remove the unnecessary entries in the rewrite table. Details can be found in the development Wiki (not publicly available).

We have cleaned up the categories at the same time, by removing all not used or empty categories.

New tools

We have added two new tools for maintaining the product and category URL rewrites.

  1. baldwin/magento2-module-url-data-integrity-checker
  2. elgentos/regenerate-catalog-urls

The first one finds incorrect duplicates in the url_path and url_key columns of the rewrite table. You use the second tool to regenerate all URL rewrites based on the SEO meta information available on products and categories.

We have effectively removed the banner slider. It now allows one picture, without animation controls. It makes the home page load faster and results in less clutter on the home page.

Firefox update

Firefox rendered not well. The font-size-adjust CSS function resulted in incorrectly scaled fonts. Only Firefox uses the function, all other browsers ignore the function. We have removed the effect of the font-scaling function.

Note: we created and applied a patch for this update on March 29th, 2022
