New functionality added to Odoo
Odoo now lets form screens respond directly to barcode scans, including triggering fields or buttons when matching barcodes are scanned. This improves barcode-driven workflows by making scanning actions faster and more integrated across supported screens.
Enhancements to existing features
This update improves day-to-day usability in several Odoo apps, including clearer product weight and volume fields, a more practical CRM pipeline view, and cleaner recruitment screens. It also adjusts default data such as company logos and removes some recruitment defaults to simplify setup and navigation.

Currency symbol placement is now based on the user's language settings rather than being fixed by the currency itself. This makes amounts display more naturally for different locales and improves consistency with regional formatting expectations.

Warnings set on a company partner now also appear when working with that company's contacts. This helps teams consistently see important customer or supplier alerts, reducing the risk that a warning is missed just because a contact person is selected instead of the parent company.

This update centralizes how Odoo serves downloadable files and images, helping pages load and cache media more consistently. It also improves attachment previews and allows website editors to add downloadable documents more easily, benefiting users across mail, web, project, point of sale, and related apps.
Resolved issues and error corrections
This update fixes a small spelling error by changing "overdued" to "overdue" in the Fleet app. It improves wording consistency and avoids confusing labels or messages for users.

overdued > overdue typo Should be fixed in 9.0
This fixes an issue where text inside stat buttons could disappear when users moved their cursor over them. The change keeps non-boolean stat button content visible, improving clarity and avoiding confusing page interactions.
Original PR description
A 'display: none' rule on hover has been added for boolean buttons, on each 'o_stat_button o_stat_text' that hasn't classname o_hover. This applies on every stat button that isn't a boolean button, so their content is always hidden on hover.
Code cleanup and technical improvements
Delivery pricing setup has been streamlined by merging delivery grids into delivery carriers, making shipping rules easier to manage. The delivery app and website checkout were also refreshed to improve usability, including tighter control over available delivery countries.

The partner website features were updated to use Odoo's newer internal framework conventions. This keeps the partner-related website pages easier to maintain and compatible with ongoing platform improvements, with little expected change for end users.
