Catalyst upgrade keeps dependency versions current

catalyst upgrade now carries @bigcommerce/catalyst* dependency version bumps through its merge automatically, the same as any other package.json change.

  • Dependency versions move with the merge — a project pinned to a real semver range picks up the version the target release shipped, or surfaces a conflict if you pinned that dependency deliberately.
  • Projects still on workspace:^ get an opt-in migration prompt after the merge, offering to swap to the published version so future upgrades can keep it current the normal way.
  • New upgrade guide walks through prerequisites, running the command, recommended upgrade cadence, and how the dependency migration prompt works.

For details, see Upgrading and the Catalyst CLI reference.

Guidance for deleting all products

Thanks to user feedback, the Delete Products reference now explains how to clear an entire catalog.

  • Batch deletion pattern — the endpoint requires a filter and caps each request at 250 products, so the reference now documents the fetch-IDs-then-delete loop for removing every product.
  • Why the safeguards exist — the filter requirement and 250-product limit are intentional protections against inadvertent mass deletion, and the reference now says so.

For details, see Delete Products.

Wishlist breadcrumb URLs become absolute on September 26, 2026

Beginning September 26, 2026, breadcrumb links on Stencil wishlist details pages will use absolute URLs instead of storefront-relative paths.

  • What’s changing — Every item in {{breadcrumbs}} will return a url that includes the storefront scheme and domain. For example, a wishlist URL will change from /wishlist.php to https://www.example.com/wishlist.php.
  • Scope — The change applies to customer wishlist details pages and public wishlist share pages.
  • Action required — If your theme prefixes breadcrumb URLs with a domain or base path, remove that prefix and render {{url}} as-is. Themes that already render {{url}} directly, including the default Cornerstone breadcrumbs component, require no changes.

For the breadcrumb properties, see the Stencil object reference.
