Release: QUIQQER 2.35
Executive summary
QUIQQER 2.35 combines a substantial Core update with practical work across payments, ordering, privacy, content editing, authentication, PDF generation, bookings, and scheduled operations. The main theme is operational clarity: administrators receive better diagnostics and controls, editors gain more direct tools, and several modules handle edge cases more predictably.
Core 2.35.0 is the foundation of this release. It reorganizes backend navigation, improves user and authenticator views, corrects permission handling, and tightens HTTP and login behaviour. PayPal 3.5.0 adds a focused diagnostics layer for connection and checkout problems, while Bricks 2.39.0 and GDPR 2.12.0 introduce visible improvements for content teams.
This report is based on the available release notes and is intended as orientation. The relevance and risk of an update still depend on the modules, integrations, and operating environment of each project.
What changed
Clearer Core administration and more reliable access control
Core 2.35.0 adds grouped backend navigation and expands the address grid and its toolbars. Authenticators are now presented as compact icon rows, making account security settings easier to scan when several methods are configured.
The release also restores additive user and group permission grants. Login errors are normalized and duplicate error logging is avoided, while site-lock notices now show the correct last-login time. Together, these changes reduce ambiguity in administration and make access-related incidents easier to understand.
At the protocol level, Core corrects not-modified responses and forwarded status codes. Console progress output is disabled in screen sessions, which keeps unattended and remote command execution cleaner.
Payment diagnostics that support real troubleshooting
PayPal 3.5.0 adds order context to API failure logs and records safe SDK, browser, and checkout diagnostics. Administrators can run connection tests and inspect a dedicated log view, giving payment issues a clearer path from customer report to technical investigation.
The module also preserves the correct live-mode setting, skips pending captures that have no PayPal order ID, and guards recurring checks and orphan cleanup. These are operational safeguards rather than new checkout features, but they matter when payment workflows run continuously.
SEPA 3.4.2 normalizes creditor and debtor IBANs before export and reports download and validation failures more clearly. This should make export problems easier to trace before files reach downstream banking processes.
Commerce and customer communication
Order 2.18.1 presents order statuses as badges, resolves user details in lock messages, and keeps standalone products in the regular basket. Order-confirmation emails now use a consistent locale, while localized processing-status titles are repaired during setup.
The updated ERP dependency is relevant for localized order emails. Projects with customized mail templates or basket rules should therefore include these workflows in their update tests rather than treating the Order release as a purely visual change.
More direct editorial and privacy controls
Bricks 2.39.0 adds an edit action to the brick selector and reuses the shared selector in button settings. Button bricks can configure mobile popup behaviour and automatic popup height, while accordion entries can receive optional anchors for direct links. These changes shorten common editing paths and make structured content easier to reference.
GDPR 2.12.0 allows project-specific Cookie Consent banner logos and adds compact corner banners with fixed actions. The custom-logo picker appears only when that option is selected, and the user-side GDPR panel moves to XML settings. Content and compliance teams gain more precise presentation controls without changing the underlying consent model.
Maintenance, automation, and platform compatibility
Cron 2.11.1 connects automatic-update management to the system cron status, records machine execution results, and uses atomic local locking. These changes provide better evidence about whether scheduled tasks ran and reduce the risk of overlapping local executions.
HTML-to-PDF 4.5.2 adds ARM64 and Debian support to the Chrome installation script, avoids unnecessary recommended packages, and reports backend test errors in the interface. REST Auth Token 2.3.0 removes the former Core REST dependency and provides a route for user login. Booking 1.5.3 corrects pagination parameter binding.
What this means for projects
For administrators, the most relevant changes are permission handling, login diagnostics, scheduled-job locking, and the expanded PayPal troubleshooting tools. Editorial teams will mainly notice the grouped backend navigation, improved brick selection, anchored accordions, and more flexible Cookie Consent presentation.
Commerce installations should pay particular attention to payment mode, capture handling, localized emails, and basket behaviour. Projects generating PDFs on Debian or ARM64 systems gain broader installation support, but should still validate the bundled browser setup in their own deployment environment.
Operational notes
- Verify representative user and group grants after updating Core, especially where permissions are layered.
- Run the PayPal connection test in the intended sandbox or live mode and inspect only sanitized diagnostics.
- Test order-confirmation language, standalone basket items, and localized status labels.
- Check scheduled jobs for duplicate execution and confirm that machine results are recorded as expected.
- Review Cookie Consent layouts on desktop and mobile when using a project-specific logo or corner banner.
Looking ahead
QUIQQER 2.35 is a broad maintenance release with several useful operator-facing improvements. Its value lies less in one headline feature than in clearer diagnostics, more dependable permissions, and smaller reductions in friction across administration, publishing, payments, and automation. A staged update should focus on the workflows actually enabled in each project.
