Let us know if there are specific operations you would like to see supported.

This is a hotfix release that includes a single feature (see below) that was needed for one of our implementation partners.

See release notes for more information. https://github.com/openboxes/openboxes/releases/tag/v0.7.5 Bulk update shipments (receive, mark as received, rollback receipt)
