### v1.1.3

{{site.data.var.im}} 1.1.3 (module version: `inventory-composer-metapackage = 1.1.3`) is supported with version 2.3.3 and compatible with version 2.3.2, 2.3.1, and 2.3.0 of {{site.data.var.ce}}, {{site.data.var.ee}}, and {{site.data.var.ece}}.

- {:.fix}**Better integration with {{site.data.var.ee}} and {{site.data.var.b2b}} features.** {{site.data.var.im}} now works correctly with the following features for websites using non-default inventory sources and stocks:
- Order by SKU ({{site.data.var.ee}})
- Quick order ({{site.data.var.b2b}})
- Requisition lists ({{site.data.var.b2b}})

- {:.new}**Increased performance.** Storefront catalog browsing performance has significantly improved for websites running the default inventory stock and source.

- {:.new}**Increased test coverage.** The automated Functional and Integration test coverage has increased significantly.

### v1.1.2

{{site.data.var.im}} 1.1.2 (module version: `inventory-composer-metapackage = 1.1.2`) is supported with version 2.3.2 and compatible with version 2.3.1, and 2.3.0 of {{site.data.var.ce}}, {{site.data.var.ee}}, and {{site.data.var.ece}}.

- {:.new} **Added a Bulk Partial Stock Transfer Endpoint** - Current bulk transfer endpoints move all assigned quantity from an origin to a destination source. The new `/rest/V1/inventory/bulk-partial-source-transfer` endpoint allows merchants to transfer partial stock from source-to-source as a bulk operation. Enter a request to the endpoint with the `sku`, `qty`, `origin_source_code`, and `destination_source_code` to transfer a specific amount of quantity. Transfers verify the source is assigned to the `sku`, enough quantity exists to transfer, etc. See [Inventory Bulk Actions]({{ page.baseurl }}/rest/modules/inventory/bulk-inventory.html). <!-- https://github.com/magento/inventory/pull/2117 -->

- {:.new} **Added Reservation CLI** - New commands give you options to detect and resolve reservation inconsistencies. As orders submit and change status, {{site.data.var.im}} generates initial reservations and updates through compensation reservations. These commands return a list of detected inconsistencies by Order ID, SKU, and Stock ID and create reservations to resolve.

- {:.new} **Distance Priority Algorithm** — The Distance Priority Algorithm is a new, out-of-the-box Source Selection Algorithm for distance-based shipping recommendations. This algorithm compares the location of the shipping destination address with source locations to determine the closest source to fulfill shipments. The distance may be determined by either physical distance or the time spent traveling from one location to another, using imported geocode location data or Google directions (driving, walking, or bicycling). See [Configuring Distance Priority Algorithm](https://docs.magento.com/m2/ce/user_guide/catalog/inventory-configure-distance-priority.html) in the _Magento Admin User Guide_.

- {:.bug} Known issue with Magento v2.3.1 - Asynchronous migration of data between sources will encounter issues due to changes in Asynchronous APIs with topic names reflecting PHP class and method names. We recommend using synchronous operations, setting **Run asynchronously** to "No". To configure, see [Configure Global Options](https://docs.magento.com/m2/ee/user_guide/catalog/inventory-options-global.html) in the Magento User Guide.
