2.9.0

Release 2.9.0 — Splash Prestashop module (splash/prestashop)

Highlights

• Full compatibility extended to PrestaShop 9.x while keeping support for 1.7 → 8.x.
• New customer groups management helpers, including default group updates.
• POS orders (Kerawen) handled gracefully when customer email is not available.
• Modernized translations: switched to a unified LanguagesManager::translate() path and refreshed language packs (ES/IT/DE/FR).
• Cleanup and UX consistency: removed legacy Noty rendering in favor of PrestaShop native notifications.

What’s new

• Customer groups management
  • Added utilities to fetch groups by ID and by name.
  • Added support to update a customer’s default group.
• POS orders integration (Kerawen)
  • Orders created by the Kerawen POS module may not include customer emails; the module now sets email = null in such cases to prevent invalid data handling.
• Address relay codes
  • Introduced relay code handling for addresses (creation and updates), improving shipping/relay workflows.

Improvements

• PrestaShop 9.x readiness
  • Initialization of AdminKernel when required (PS 9.x).
  • Added explicit PrestaShop 9.x compatibility declarations in static analysis and CI.
  • Adjusted show_price field creation behavior for PS 8+ to avoid incompatibilities.
• Translation & i18n
  • Replaced legacy Translate usage with LanguagesManager::translate() across the module.
  • Logger now reports missing translations in debug mode to help maintainers.
  • Refreshed/added translations for ES, IT, DE, FR; added license headers to translation files.
• Data and domain logic
  • Dimensions refactor: better handling of conversion factors during computations.
  • GLS RelaisPoint code validation refactor for clarity and robustness.
  • Improved customer address consolidation from multiple sources.

Cleanups

• Removed unused CSS/PHP files from module views.
• Removed obsolete local object translation keys and redundant configuration entries.
• Dropped legacy default-deny rule from module .htaccess to rely on a clearer, compatible config.

Fixes

• Updated error log keys for WS ID and WS Key validation in the Local module to improve diagnostics.

Breaking changes

• None known. UI notification rendering switched to PrestaShop native methods, which should be transparent for most users.

Deprecations

• None formally introduced. Internally, direct Translate usage has been replaced; external APIs are unaffected.

Compatibility

• PrestaShop: 1.7 → 9.x
• PHP: ^7.4 | ^8.0 (see composer.json)
• Database schema: unchanged

Upgrade notes

• No migrations required.
• If you run custom themes or overrides relying on Noty in Splash views, verify notifications render as expected with PrestaShop native methods.
• For environments integrating Kerawen POS: ensure integrations accept null customer emails on POS orders (this is expected behavior now).
