Frosmo Platform releases

Maintenance release (2021-09-20)

Improvements

In the Control Panel:

• In shared code, you can now use the sharedCode.id variable to get the shared code ID as a number..

Platform component versions

Maintenance release (2021-09-06)

Bug fixes

In the Control Panel:

• Fixed a bug where the re-login popup, which is displayed when your login session expires, was sometimes hidden under another UI component. The re-login popup is now always displayed as the topmost component.

Platform component versions

Maintenance release (2021-08-24)

Improvements

In the Control Panel:

• Added the Setup > Products page. The page lists all the products tracked for the currently selected site, with the full product data displayed for each product.
• In workspaces, if a workspace publication fails with an error that the platform cannot roll back, the UI displays an error popup with a Copy button for copying the error details to the clipboard. Previously, the copy function Base64-encoded the error details. However, the encoding can fail in certain cases, resulting in nothing being copied. Now, clicking the button copies the error details as raw unencoded text.

Platform component versions

Maintenance release (2021-06-23)

Improvements

In data tracking:

• Updated the new product data structure for product tracking to include categories as a standard attribute.

  The platform has supported the new structure, which splits attributes into standard attributes and custom attributes, under the hood since 2021-04-12. The old structure is now officially deprecated, although the platform continues to support it for backwards-compatibility until otherwise communicated.

  The product tracking guide will be shortly updated with details about the new structure.

Bug fixes

In Frosmo Preview:

• Fixed a bug where the Debug > Shared code view listed both the production and workspace versions of a piece of shared code as active for the current page.
• Fixed a bug in the Site view where the Script > Location field was empty.

Platform component versions

Maintenance release (2021-06-21)

Improvements

In the Control Panel:

• In modifications:
  • In the modifications list, the details for a multi-armed bandit modification now show the distribution percentages for the different variations.

  • In modification settings, you can now easily switch between the basic settings view and the statistics view by selecting the corresponding tab in the top left corner of the page.

    

  • In modification variation settings, if a variation uses a template, the Content options section now shows the JSON object describing the content options set for the variation. You can view the object by expanding the Content options object (JSON) subsection.
• In placement settings, for URL matchers, increased the width of text input field to better accommodate longer values.
• In trigger settings, updated the settings view to match the layout of similar component settings views.
• Revised the UI copy for the Google Analytics integration page.

In Frosmo Preview:

• In the Visitors view, added the Cookies section for listing all first-party cookies that do not have the HttpOnly attribute set. The Cookies section is also shown in the Visitor tab of the modification debugging view.

Platform component versions

Maintenance release (2021-05-31)

Improvements

In the Control Panel:

• In recommendation strategies:
  • Added support for the Most bought on the site in recent months algorithm. The algorithm returns the most bought items on the site in, by default, the past 60 days.
  • Added support for the any one of contains filter rule operator. This operator allows you to search an array of strings (attribute value) for a single string or substring (your target value). The rule evaluates to true if at least one item in the array contains the string.
  • Added the predefined filters Only return items whose categories include the viewed category and Only return items whose categories include at least one category to which the viewed item belongs for category and product pages, respectively. Both filters use the categories attribute of an item.
  • Renamed the predefined category page filter Only include items that match the viewed category to Only return items whose type matches the viewed category. As before, the filter uses the type attribute of an item.
  • Renamed the predefined product page filter Only include items that match the category of the viewed item to Only return items whose type is the same as the viewed item's. As before, the filter uses the type attribute of an item.
  • Renamed the algorithms to omit the specific day ranges. For example, Bought together with current item - 60 days is now Bought together with current item, while Most bought on the site - 7 days is now Most bought on the site in recent days.
• In recommendation configurations:
  • Added support for the anyElementContains filter rule operator. This is the same operator as the any one of contains operator for recommendation strategies.
• In email recommendations:
  • The copy code popup now additionally displays the ID and number of slots for the email recommendation.
  • Updated the UI copy for clarity and consistency.

In Frosmo Core:

• Made various improvements, which resulted in reducing the script file size from 56 KB to 54 KB (4%).

In Frosmo Preview:

• In the Debug > Segments view, added debugging information about the triggers associated with the selected segment.

Bug fixes

In the Control Panel:

• Fixed a bug in segmentation where removing a segment in the Control Panel did not always remove the segment from the site. This was caused by the site's custom script getting exported to the site before the segment was removed from the script.

In Frosmo Preview:

• Fixed a bug where, if you were in a workspace, the Site view incorrectly reported that the site's custom script is out of date. This was caused by Frosmo Preview checking the modified timestamp of the currently loaded workspace custom script against the latest available production custom script rather than the latest available workspace custom script.

Platform component versions

Maintenance release (2021-05-11)

Bug fixes

In the Control Panel:

• Fixed a bug in recommendation strategies where, if you edited a filter and clicked to add a new rule, the settings page went blank.

In the Control Panel:

• Added context-sensitive Learn more links to the email recommendations UI, and updated the UI copy for clarity and consistency.

In Frosmo Preview:

• Added information and features for tracking how the application loads the necessary site data from the Frosmo back end:
  • Added a loading screen with a message and progress indicator that is displayed while the application loads the data. Once the data is successfully loaded, the main application UI is displayed.
  • If the application fails to load the data, either because of an error or because the request timed out, the loading screen displays an error message and provides a Copy button for copying the relevant debugging information to the clipboard.
  • Increased the timeout for loading the data to 2 minutes.
  • In the Site view, in the Frosmo Preview section, added the Load time field for showing how long it took the application to load the data.
• Increased the waiting time for visitor context to 30 seconds.

Platform component versions

Maintenance release (2021-05-03)

Improvements

In the Control Panel:

In Frosmo Core:

• Added a unique script namespace for template prerenderers: frosmo_message_pre_renderer_script_id_<modification_id>. This allows you to easily find and debug template prerenderer code in your browser's developer tools.

In Frosmo Preview:

• Added support for Google Analytics (GA) events. To view the GA events sent for a modification, select Debug > Modifications, select the modification, and select the Google Analytics tab.

Platform component versions

Maintenance release (2021-01-11)
