# Combined Retail applications release notes for upgrades from Zurich to Australia
Consolidated page of all release notes for Retail applications from Zurich to Australia.
## How to use this page
To help you prepare for your upgrade, we have combined the cross-family Retail applications release notes onto one page. Read this summary of the new features, changes, and updated information for your product from Zurich to Australia.
**Tip:** If there were no updates for a release notes section in a certain family release, we included a short note for your reference. For example, if a product did not have any updates in Tokyo, the row says "No updates for this release."
## Important information for upgrading Retail applications to Australia

- **Upgrade information**
Starting with this release onwards, the retail base case has been made abstract. \(An abstract case or abstract case type is a base configuration of a case that is intended to be extended by specialized case types rather than used directly.\) After upgrading to the Zurich release and for any version updates beginning with the Yokohama release, if you are using the retail base case table you will no longer be able to create new cases or update existing cases. Use the following case types instead:
- Store Inquiry
- Retail Customer Complaint
- In-store Operations
- HQ Communications
You can also extend your own case types. For more information on these changes, see the [Impact analysis and guidance: Retail case table updates \[KB2216547\]](https://support.servicenow.com/nav_to.do?uri=%2Fkb_knowledge.do%3Fsys_id%3Da312916e978aa650f03d739c1253af88%26sysparm_view%3D%26sysparm_domain%3Dnull%26sysparm_domain_scope%3Dnull) article in the Now Support Knowledge Base.
