Overview of BuySpeed 15.5.0

 

Periscope is pleased to announce the availability of BuySpeed 15.5.0.  This release of BuySpeed 15 is approved for use in production environments, and includes many feature updates. However, this release is not available independently and must be combined with 15.6 (see here).

 

This release includes a number of feature updates and bug fixes in the following BuySpeed components: 

  • Payments
  • Security
