WooCommerce Releases 8.6.1 with Fixes for 8.6.0 Issues

WooCommerce 8.6.1 is a patch release that resolves four critical issues introduced in version 8.6.0, with a focus on improving stability, script caching, and admin functionality. The update addresses fatal errors on the admin order screen, fixes product display issues for logged-out users, and enhances the stability of Order Attribution.

Key fixes in 8.6.1 include:

• Admin Fatal Error Fixes: Resolved fatal errors affecting stores using extensions that apply the woocommerce_admin_shipping_fields and woocommerce_admin_billing_fields filters by adding appropriate default values.

• Product Display Improvements: Fixed an issue where single product pages appeared blank for logged-out users on certain themes.

• Order Attribution & Script Caching: Updated asset hashing to use the WooCommerce core version instead of the deprecated WooCommerce Blocks version, preventing improper script caching.

• Metabox Handling: Improved rendering of the attribution metabox for unsupported order types.

Overall, this release improves compatibility, performance, and reliability following the WooCommerce 8.6.0 update.
