1	# WCPOS 1.8.15 — Changelog Draft
2
3	> The biggest WCPOS release ever. Almost three months of work, ~330 substantive PRs. Highlights below.

5	## Unreleased
6
7	- Added: anonymous analytics identifier (`wcpos_anon_id`) for the admin welcome screen — random UUID, no store data, deleted on uninstall, manageable via `wp wcpos anon-id rotate\|delete`. Landing data contract `schema_version` bumped to 2.
8	- Added: `woocommerce_pos_consent_copy` filter so the tracking-consent prompt copy can be overridden.
9	- Added: `woocommerce_pos_get_anon_id()` accessor (used by the Pro licence-activation request).

13	## 🧾 Receipt Templates — Complete Rebuild
14
15	This release introduces an entirely new receipt template system. It started in early March as a "receipt data + multi-engine rendering" foundation and grew into a full template platform.
16
17	- New Template Gallery with starter templates for every common use case — thermal (58mm, 80mm, narrow), A4 receipts, invoices, quotes, packing slips, gift receipts, kitchen tickets, and right-to-left languages (Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, Urdu).
18	- New Template Editor built on CodeMirror 6 with a field picker, live preview, paper-size + engine locking, and a Sample/Order preview pill toggle.
19	- Multi-engine rendering — HTML, Logicless (Mustache), PHP, and Thermal engines. Each template can declare which engine it uses; the active template is resolved per-store and per-order.
20	- Receipt Data v1 contract — a stable, branchable data shape that custom templates can rely on: refunds, transaction IDs, line tax labels, per-row meta, fiscal/refund context, customer notes, store address composed via `WC_Countries`, structured `store.tax_ids[]`, customer tax-id labels, localized `status_label`, and a render-time `order.printed` timestamp.
21	- Store-aware presentation — receipts now respect store currency, locale, timezone, tax display setting, price presentation, opening hours, and site logo, instead of falling back to global WooCommerce options.
22	- Refund-aware totals — refunded orders keep totals positive and add Refunded/Net rows so receipts stay readable.
23	- Discounts as first-class data — each coupon emits its own discount row, with `discounts[].code` as the canonical reference and `discounts[].label` taking the coupon description when available.
24	- Tax-summary guard so templates correctly distinguish tax-inclusive vs tax-exclusive stores, and summaries use real post-discount taxable bases instead of reverse-calculating from rounded tax.
25	- Black-and-white safe printing — light tints actually print, dark reverse-out fills removed, thermal receipts made 42-column-safe with star-column support.
26	- PHP gallery catalogue registry (#1035) replaces JSON tracking for shipped templates, keeping the gallery cleaner and easier to extend.
27	- Template-management admin redesign — unified Templates table with sidebar filters, drag-and-drop ordering, inactive-but-visible status, and a kebab menu replacing the old card "Settings" link.
28
29	## 🪪 Customer & Store Tax IDs (new feature)
30
31	- Customer tax IDs end-to-end — reader, writer, REST exposure, persistence (#850, #863).
32	- Store Tax IDs settings UI with dedicated REST endpoints and country defaults (#851, #859, #872, #883).
33	- Consolidation — Tax IDs folded into General → Customers and into the Store Details block (#860, #924, #942).
34	- Structured `store.tax_ids[]` exposed on receipts with a derived `tax_id` scalar for legacy templates (#853, #874, #875).
35
36	## 📈 Tracking Consent & Analytics (new feature)
37
38	- GDPR-friendly consent prompt with a two-tier landing page (#787, #788, #790, #792, #801, #804).
39	- PostHog analytics foundation with consent gating; session recording is explicitly disabled (#795, #799).
40	- Reusable `@wcpos/consent` package so the same consent flow can be embedded elsewhere (#822, #824, #829).
41	- Landing Profile service for personalized A/B testing (#781, #784, #797).
42	- Upgrade-funnel instrumentation (#798).
