Deployment Date: June 1, 2026 17:00-18:00 PDT. Databases will be offline during this period while databases are migrated to new virtual machines.

No other functional changes are planned, but 3rd-party application components will be updated as required to include security and required patches. This means that ShipperXL for Windows and ShipperXL Kiosk will prompt you to update once you restart them or when you first log in.

The next planned quarterly release, if needed, will be on Saturday October 31, 2026 1700-1800 PT.

ShipperXL for Windows will prompt you to update once you restart or when you first log in. 

New Features:

1. The user management tool, HAAL, has moved to https://secure.hurkin.com/haal with a complete redesign.

2. The Queue menu now shows how many items are in your queues, and how many are urgent -- meaning they have been in the queue for longer than specified in your queue configuration.

3. Shipline changes are made immediately as they are received. The shipment will be added to your booking change queue for visiblity, along with a note with all of the changes/messages.

4. For containers with more than one product, split by weight, we're testing a new feature where you can include a scale ticket for each product in the container contents.

Deprecated Features

1. Scheduled Jobs no longer support BCC for emails.  Any BCC's have been moved to CC.

2. X-Link is being shut down. It is an unused feature. 

3. Web Portal is being shut down. It is an unused feature.

Bug Fixes:

1. When opening some bookings there were silent issues preventing you from seeing booking changes.

2. The sales order line item was having trouble when there were work orders involved in fulfillment or assignment.

3. Importing customers using the Import Tool was expecting a Code column

The next planned quarterly release will be on Monday June 1, 2026 1700-1800 PT. 

Deployment Date: December  31, 2025 17:00-18:00 PST

Your database will be read-only during deployment. The Apps, ShipperXL for Windows and ShipperXL Kiosk will prompt you to update once you restart them or when you first log in. 

This release introduces the "Watch Shipline for changes" feature. Our systems will keep in contact with Shipline systems and will notify ShipperXL of any changes to bookings you select. That will automatically place the booking in a queue so you know which bookings have changes. Then, when you open booking you'll be prompted to accept the changes, and optionally save them. This comes at an introductory price of $3.25 per booking.

To enable this feature, just click the "Watch Shipline for changes" checkbox on the Shipment screen.

New Features:

1. Ocean Bookings can be set to watch the shipline systems for changes. Changes to vessel, voyage, and dates are detected and the booking is put into a queue for you to accept the changes. There is a nominal fee for this service. The Party screen has a new field for SCAC code that you will need to update.

2. Queues now show the number of items and an alert symbol if there are overdue items.

3. Party screen includes links to HAAL to create or manage users

4. Item now includes Bill of Materials, and SKUs, and a "Create SKU" button. 

5. SKU screen now includes Bill of Materials, and a "Create Purchase Order" button on the On Hand tab.

6. Sales Order Item screen now includes a "Create Work Order" button

7. Party screen allows attachment of Signature, Specification, and Logo images. See Agreement Report 

8. The in-product browser is back, allowing for home and help screens to display web pages within the app.

9. Work Order Report now shows Specification images for any Items or SKUs included

10. When an "As Of" date is a report parameter, is now included in the report footer

Bug Fixes:

1. Queues were showing the wrong date for date/time in PST. They were also miscalculating the "Max Hours" in the queue and were showing as overdue too early. See Creating Queues. 

2. Item was not hiding several fields only applicable to Products

3. Work Orders search was slow when no parameters were provided

4. Shipment screen was loading about 1-2 seconds slower in most cases

The next planned quarterly release will be around March 31. For product enhancements or bug fixes please email us at support@hurkin.com
