Display/User Interface fixes

• Added Display Preferences option to offset the "sticky" sidebar by a different value.
• Corrected display issue where specific configuration/reconfiguration steps would result in an album displaying instead of only one track.
• Added final price to pay on Single-Page Checkout's submit button. This is necessary for mobile devices especially, where the total being paid is not in view when clicking Submit.
• Removed Album Player volume controls for iOS devices.
• Fixed an issue where a certain series of customer steps may have resulted in improper shipping charges.

Admin Area

• Added Gift Card feature.
• Added auto-login feature. Users accessing the Admin Area from the same device at the same IP address can be logged in automatically instead of entering a username and password.
• Updated links in config setup page (this change only applicable for new users)
• Product Block Layout Drag/Drop sorting sometimes failed to renumber the sort. This has been corrected.
• Digital Files for Products, Form View did not show correct PDF Watermark Style if the product filename included an apostrophe. This has been corrected.
• Digital Files for Products, Form View did not allow deletes. This has been corrected.
• Category copying would sometimes fail when the Custom URL field had a value. This has been corrected.
• Incorrect table read when displaying a single Tag Category. This has been corrected.
• Order Notification Preferences now checks for valid email addresses on save.
• Updated Text Translations page for ease of use.
• Updated Albums to use the new layout.
• Updated Manage Orders page to use the new layout, and made the following changes:
  • To improve page performance, the list of orders now limits to show only 300 records.
  • The order total and payment methods are now displayed in Table View.
  • Form View for Orders now displays a log of individual download attempts for each file. (This data has always been recorded but was not previously displayed.)
  • Form View now includes extra information like "Total Earned", which represents the total of the transaction minus PayPal/Credit Card fees.
• Added an option to Configuration Preferences that will add a "Save" button to the bottom of all new-style configuration pages. This is intended for and was requested by non-sighted users.

IPN

• Removed HTML Entities in product names.
• Changed the method in which custom information is sent to and returned from PayPal. This change means that customers should no longer enter "note to store" at PayPal; it should always be done from the checkout page.

Misc

• Updated "Russian Federation" to "Russia" in database. USPS shipping failed with "Russian Federation" setting
• Added method to insert "Custom URL" of product onto a product's META Tags on the product description page.
• Updated email validation function to allow for top-level domains (.com, .org, etc.) of more than three characters (.guru, .info, etc.)

Technical

• Added potentially-necessary PDF filter options. Experimental usage for some PDFs.
• The following changes have been to the cart object. Stores using these functions in custom code should change the code to use the applicable function:
  • Removed functions:
    • cartvalue() returned a sum of the prices of every product in the cart. This was the cart subtotal.
    • grandtotal() returned a sum of cartvalue(), totalShipping, and totalTaxes, minus totalDiscounts.
  • Introduced new functions:
    • products_total() returns a sum of the prices of every product in the cart. This is the cart subtotal; its equivalent was cartvalue().
    • total_payable_balance() returns a sum of products_total(), totalShipping, and totalTaxes, minus totalDiscounts. The previous equivalent was grandtotal().
    • current_payable_balance() returns total_payable_balance() minus the total of gift_card_payments(). There was no equivalent in the previous versions, as it was not possible to apply a partial payment. Since gift cards added this ability, this new function was necessary.
• Updated remaining mail() function calls to use PHPMailer. Added a custom hook for all email calls, allowing SMTP authentication settings or other requirements based on server-specific needs.
• Updated the USPS class to use the RateV4 API, as required by September 28, 2014.
