Medusa v2.17.0 — Release Notes & Engineering Impact

## Highlights > **IMPORTANT:** This release contains a regression around worker instances. You should not upgrade to this but instead 2.17.1. ### Global Product Options 🚧 Breaking change Product options in Medusa can now be global — defined once at the store level and reusable across any number of products. Previously, options such as "Size" or "Color" had to be recreated independently for each product. With this release, you define an option once, attach it to as many products as you need, and manage values from a single place. This unlocks consistent variant modeling across large catalogs and reduces duplication when building storefront filters or admin tooling. [#13817](https://github.com/medusajs/medusa/pull/13817) Read more in the [announcement post](https://medusajs.com/blog/announcing-global-product-options/). --- ### Provider-Agnostic Auth Verification 🚧 Breaking change Auth verification (email, phone, etc.) has been reworked into a flexible, provider-based system. You can now declare exactly which verifications are required per actor type and auth provider via the new `authVerificationsPerActor` config — for example, require email verification for customers using `emailpass`, but skip it for those signing in with Google. Codes are issued and confirmed through pluggable code providers, with a built-in token provider out of the box. This is a breaking change: - The verification endpoints moved from `POST /auth/:actor_type/:auth_provider/verification/request` (and `/confirm`) to flat `POST /auth/verification/request` and `POST /auth/verification/confirm`. The request route is now authenticated and takes `entity_id`, `entity_type`, and `code_provider` in the body instead of actor/provider in the URL. - The JS SDK's auth verification methods were updated to match — upgrade the SDK and adjust any custom verification calls. - A database migration replaces the `auth_verification_token` table with a new `auth_verification` table. Run `npx medusa db:migrate` after upgrading; any pending (unconfirmed) verifications are discarded. [#15696](https://github.com/medusajs/medusa/pull/15696) --- ### Medusa ESLint Plugin A new `@medusajs/eslint-plugin` package ships with this release, bringing first-party linting rules for Medusa projects. The plugin covers API routes, subscribers, scheduled jobs, admin customizations, and module patterns. Lint runs automatically via the Medusa CLI when the plugin is installed: ```bash npx medusa lint ``` Rules are grouped into config presets (`recommended`, `modules`, etc.) so you can opt in to the level of strictness that fits your project.
