GLS Shipping Labels & Parcel Shops changelog

All notable changes to GLS Shipping Labels & Parcel Shops (kv_gls) are documented here. The format follows Keep a Changelog and the project uses Semantic Versioning.

  • Initial release: integrates with the MyGLS API (GLS Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Romania, Slovenia, Croatia), REST JSON, test and live systems per country.
  • Labels in two steps (PrepareLabels, GetPrintedLabels): 1 to 99 parcels, PDF (A4_2x2, A4_4x1, Connect, Thermo, ShipItThermoPdf) or ZPL (ThermoZPL 203 dpi, ThermoZPL_300DPI, ShipItThermoZpl), A4 start position; print again in another format without a new parcel.
  • Cancel at GLS (DeleteLabels) before hand-over.
  • GLS ParcelShop & Parcel Locker shipping service: point search at checkout near a postal code or town, type filter, opening hours, distance and cash-on-delivery badge, server-side check against the public GLS point list (20 countries, refreshed daily, broken downloads not applied); PSD service with the mandatory contact data and the backup address.
  • Cash on delivery (amount, currency, reference) from a chosen payment method; points without cash on delivery are refused.
  • Extra services per shipping method: FDS, FSS, SM2, INS, 24H, T09, T10, T12, SAT, TGS.
  • Return labels from the customer to the shop with optional SRS or PRS.
  • Tracking with GetParcelStatuses and the GLS status codes (created, in transit, waiting at the point, delivered, problem, returned), never downgraded after delivery; tracking link to the GLS tracking page on the order, the customer’s order page and shipment e-mails.
  • No double parcels: request recorded before sending with a deterministic reference, per-order locks, “Check at GLS” (GetParcelList) for lost answers, “Prepared” state when only printing failed.
  • Data protection: customer e-mail and phone only sent when GLS needs them or when switched on.
  • Multi-Vendor: marketplace owner account (vendors view only) or one MyGLS account per vendor with the vendor’s own labels; queue, cron and point download admin-only.
  • Encrypted credentials, connection test, job queue with retries, cron (command line and secret address), log with CSV export, domain-bound licence, self-healing upgrade synchronizer.
