New releases of Episerver CMS UI (add comments on a content item), Episerver Forms (improved WCAG AA level compliance), and Episerver Commerce (including a critical fix). Bug fixes for Episerver Find for Commerce, Episerver Content Delivery API, and Episerver Profile Store.

The update applies to Episerver projects version 7.5 and higher, and contains finalized work items included in the latest iteration.

Episerver supports all platform updates and strongly recommends that you keep ongoing projects up-to-date. You can install the updates from the Episerver NuGet feed.

Main packages
This release information lists updated main package versions for the Episerver platform. When a release is built, other dependent packages also may be bumped to new versions, although they contain no publicly visible changes. This is done to avoid dependency errors. When you upgrade, NuGet alerts you to upgrade related packages to the required versions. For Commerce, it is important to ensure that you are running the same version of CMS and Commerce, both in the front-end and back-end applications.
