DETAILS

Patch to Service Release AbleCommerce 5.5 CFMX - 1a

After the release of AbleCommerce 5.5 CFMX - SR1, certain defects were identified in the production code that were significant enough to warrant an update.  Versions of AbleCommerce 5.5 CFMX build 1357 can be upgraded directly to the SR1a release.  If you have already upgraded to SR1 build 1380, you do not have to complete the entire upgrade.  Instead, you can directly install the patched files to bring your installation up to SR1a.
