Compatibility Changes
While we try to deliver releases that are free from breaking changes, it is worth highlighting aย potentialย breaking change within the WooCommerce Admin package, stemming from theย removal of a number of settingsย from theย wc_admin
ย namespace within theย wc/data
ย store. Thisย mayย impact some third party code that aims to integrate with WooCommerce Admin.
