Overview​

This release represents a significant evolution of the platform's billing infrastructure with the introduction of a comprehensive multi-creditor finance system. The new architecture supports multiple creditor configurations with intelligent routing, enabling flexible billing arrangements and improved financial operations.

The quoting system has been substantially enhanced with price tier v2, introducing sophisticated tier selection logic, forecasting capabilities, and optimized quote generation. These improvements provide more accurate pricing and better support for volume-based pricing strategies.

Quality improvements continue with expanded automated testing across core services, while infrastructure enhancements enable more flexible deployment configurations through improved Helm chart support. Contract management has been refined with better tenant integration and performance optimizations.
