Release Notes

BrickSeek 3.1.2

Released 10 / 17 / 19

This was a minor release which was made in order to account for a change in the way Walmart reports inventory quantity information.

We made the following changes to the way inventory quantities are displayed for results from Walmart locations:

Quantity ranges for some results will now be more concise “quantity: 2-5” or “quantity: 3-5″ for example will now be displayed as “quantity: 2-3” and “quantity: 3-4″ respectively.
A small number of results which previously would have been displayed as “In Stock” will now be displayed as “Limited Stock”.
Inventory quantities of 6 or more will now be displayed as “6+“.

The above changes will impact the following areas:
