Release Notes

Version 1.4.9 - November 5, 2007

There are 2 big changes in this release: 1) Added Shipper Service for StoreFront 7.0, and 2) Removed the requirement to create a user account using the Shipper Service Configuration Page for stores that include role-based authentication (basically all but StoreFront 6).

Version 1.4.8 - October 18, 2007

Fixed the few small bugs that have cropped up since 1.4.5 was released. Versions 1.4.6 and 1.4.7 were never released.

The significant change only affects Shipper Service for BVC5. Starting with release 1.4.8, the carrier information that is downloaded from the store will include both the carrier name and the name of the shipping method that the customer selected. For example, let's say that you have 2 shipping methods called FedEx Standard and FedEx Expedited, and that both methods are identical except that FedEx Expedited includes a $10 surcharge to provide expedited handling.

In previous versions of Shipper Service for BVC5, only the carrier and service would have been downloaded regardless of which shipping method was selected, and the shipping department would not know if they should expedite the handling or not. In this version of Shipper Service for BVC5, both the carrier and shipping method name are included:

Old: FedEx / Ground

New: FedEx (FedEx Expedited) / Ground

Note that this will break any Shipper service assignments that depend on the old shipment carrier text. You will need to update the service assignments (Tools > Options > More Settings > Service Assignments) or simply re-assign the services (Edit > Prepare Shipment > save the assignment).

Shipper Service for BVC2004

Added support for the order status change email. If Shipper Service changes the shipping status, this will trigger an order status change. This in turn will cause the order status email to be sent to the customer if you have configured your site this way. Similarly, if Shipper Service also changes the order payment status, it will trigger a second order status change.

Version 1.3.4.0 - April 21, 2006

Updated to record the ShipTo address in the database. This means that if you edit the shipping address during processing, the actual address that was used is recorded.

Version 1.3.3.1 - March 1, 2006

Time zone information removed from OrderDate and ShipmentShipDate to prevent date change if Shipper and Shipper Service are running in different time zones.

1408: Voided UPS Ground shipment interpreted as a conflict

Problem: Shipments that are processed then later voided in UPS WorldShip are displayed as conflicts. Also shipments processed in UPS WorldShip are recorded with ShippingType.None. [BVC2004]
