Stripe Optimized Checkout
WooCommerce has recently added support for Stripe’s optimized checkout. This release comes with the necessary changes to integrate Newspack’s modal checkout with this new checkout experience.
New Look for the Republication Tracker Tool
The Republication Tracker Tool styles have been updated for improved user experience:


New Threshold Setting for “Updated Date” Byline
Introduces a new setting in the customizer to control the threshold for when the updated date appears in a post’s byline. Previously, this was set to midnight of a post’s published date, but we are now allowing publishers to fine-tune this to allow the updated date to appear sooner for stories that have hourly updates, etc.
