    • new split view between scheduled (future date) preferences and active (non-schedule or past-date) ones
    • when buying credits, the amount shown correctly reflects your best discounted rate
    • opt-in text shown on create-account updated to include provider-required verbiage

  • new/changed menu options
    • new "Force Orders Enabled" flag for use on old menus to temporarily enable and place orders (no need to change menu dates)
    • can now change Delivery Date per menu, rather than relying on default configuration (once set, date will now not change even when menu dates changed)
    • Duplicate Menu will now auto-adjust dates up to either a week from current date or a week from most recent menu (whichever is newer)
    • fixed an issue preventing Duplicate Menu from working if an active menu with same dates already existed
    • useForDelivery menu flag is deprecated
  • order page changes

    • added a notice by checkout when order amount mins apply to clarify that tax and fees not included
    • change in meal tag filter functionality - meals with no tag will now be hidden when a tag is selected; products with a "Non-Meal" category (e.g. "Merchandise") will no longer be filtered out when a tag is selected
    • new option to waive order/delivery fees for $0 subtotal (e.g. for all-credits orders for customers not on active plans)
    • if last location for customer is no longer active, their next order will start with the default location (if set)
  • misc feature improvements
    • duplicate order check
      • now still automatically runs when orders finalized by plan, even if feature flag is disabled
