R195.0.7 Minor System Update

Question

Hi everyone,
On Tuesday, September 23'rd, we have updated the Business Catalyst service to include a series of security updates and minor bug fixes. Please find below the detailed list of changes:
Require users to confirm identity by re-entering their admin passwords when  updating sensitive information like payment gateways, user accounts, user roles or current user details. This has become a standard security practice that reduces risks on admin changes made by unauthorised users. Along with the change, the sensitive information can only be edited over https.
Disabled auto-completion on password and password confirm fields in web forms. While this will prevent auto-completion to work for these fields on most browsers, some browsers do not enforce this standard and will still have this enabled.
We have removed SPF from DNS since it's now deprecated and replaced with TXT fields
Updated Captcha to include additional security measures preventing DOS attacks
Added support for all alpha TLD domains to enable users to create email accounts on domains like .marketing, .photography, etc
Fixed a bug in Product_UpdateInsert API to correctly escape quotation  marks in product name
Fixed a typo on Remove admin user success message
Thank you,
The Adobe Business Catalyst team

Two things i wished you would have fixed:
1. If updating a product's attribute variations through the API, the attributes tag won't render on the shop. I need to do an additional update of the attribute without variations before it shows up - or go into the admin and edit an attribute and hit save before the tag renders. I have reported this, but the support ignored the request to file it as a bug.
2. ReleaseDate and ExpiryDate seems to exist on everything except Product_UpdateInsert in the Ecommerce API, maybe add it in V3 at least.
Oh, and I'm not sure about using CDN by default for apps scripts, i keep getting frequent timeout and slow load times - no matter if i use my USA VPN, EU VPN or China VPN.
