About this release

The Commerce Suite includes:
- Commerce Service – version 2024.10
- Mobile POS (Android) – version 2024.10

Note: There is new Encr setting for password encryption to use in Appsetting. The hard-coded key for it has been removed and moved to Appsetting, and it can be encrypted there as well. If you used encryption for passwords in older versions, you may need to redo the password encryption and update the settings files with new data. Use the new CommercePwdGenerator.exe tool to generate a new encrypted password. To encrypt Encr Code, use the tool without Encr Code, and put the password into the Appsettings file as:
<add key="Security.EncrCode" value="Rxxxx=:encr:" />
