### OpenIddict Updated to 3.0

- Virto Commerce updated OpenIddict from 2.0 to 3.0. One of the reason for update is that OpenIddict 2.0 is deprecated and no longer supported.
- More lightweight due to logic decoupling.
- All features retained: Password authorization, Client app authorization, Token sharing. Seamless update for all modules achieved.
- Ready for .NET 5.

### Added API for Country regions

- Added Country regions Rest API. You can manage country regions and select them from the drop-down. Added region translations for German and Russian.
- The manager can enter a custom value.
- The developer can create provide a custom set of the regions in /countriesRegions.js. More information in the documentation: [Countries management - Virto Commerce Documentation](https://virtocommerce.com/docs/latest/techniques/countries-management/)

### Allowed to add custom columns to order grid via JS Script.

To add custom grid column, you need:

1. Add extensions service for columns registration:

```js
'platformWebApp.ui-grid.extension' as gridOptionExtension

```

1. Add code snippet:

```js
gridOptionExtension.registerExtension("customerOrder-list-grid", function (gridOptions) {
    var customColumnDefs = [
        { name: 'newField', displayName: 'orders.blades.customerOrder-list.labels.newField', width: '***' }
    ];

    gridOptions.columnDefs = _.union(gridOptions.columnDefs, customColumnDefs);
});

```

1. Is a way to add a field to the drop-down menu without adding it to the grid - need to add `visible: false` to the column definition.

You can find the complete sample code here: [vc-module-order/samples/VirtoCommerce.OrdersModule2.Web/Scripts/order2.js at master · VirtoCommerce/vc-module-order · GitHub](https://github.com/VirtoCommerce/vc-module-order/blob/master/samples/VirtoCommerce.OrdersModule2.Web/Scripts/order2.js#L79)

### VC-Build moved to its own repository.

- Vc-build with CLI-tools documentation was moved to the own reposiotry.
- Vc-build was updated to .NET 5
- The workaround which downgraded dotnet version in workflows was removed
- The Jenkins pipeline which makes documentation for [Documentation](http://virtocommerce.com/docs) was updated to retrieve the CLI-tools section from the vc-build repo
