From this release, Subscribe Merchant Portal login flow for both Portals (1.0 and 2.0) starts with a username field validation only. Once the username is submitted, a new screen with both **username** and **password** fields appears and the login process takes place.

This feature is part of an enhancement to support external user authentication via stand alone Identity Providers starting with OKTA IDP. Full support for OKTA login should be available in Subscribe's September's release. In future releases, Vindicia will integrate its own IDP through MarketOne Connect.

### Subscription Renewal Push Event Added in Invoice Event Class

## Known Issues

This release includes the following known issues:

* Subscribe Merchant Portal 2.0 - High data volume searches in Accounts, Subscriptions or Transactions may require long search times or time out. To shorten search times, please provide as many details as possible and limit the date range for the search.
* Large data reports fail to display in Reports 2.0. There is a timeout issue when generating and fetching large reports. As a temporary workaround, please schedule large sized reports rather than running them on demand and set SFTP as the delivery method.
