So, versions 2.1.2 through 2.1.6 went by without any official announcement, so it seems like it’s probably a good idea to note that 2.1.7 will be the last release of YAK for the v2 series of WordPress (other than a bug fix release or two, perhaps).

Changes (in this latest release) since 2.1.1 include:

2.1.2

• Fix bug with sales tax via manual CC entry, along with removal of spurious <td>
• Fix bug with sales tax via accounts receivable entry

2.1.3

• Fix sales tax in PayPal Std checkouts

2.1.4

• Fix processing problem with failed Authorize.net payments
• Fix rounding issue with sales tax values sent to PayPal

2.1.5

• Fix bug with confirmation email (missing sales tax, totals wrong)

2.1.6

• Add back missing code to handle unlimited quantities

2.1.7

• Fix problem with incorrectly calculated shipping after validation error
• Increase timeout on Authorize.net connections (occasionally seems to cause a problem)
• Fix problem with unlimited quantity handling
• Add shipping type to email flags
• Add check for the address_entry function existing (seems to cause an incompatibility with another plugin)

The next release (which may not include any major changes at all), will be 2.2.0, which will be the first official version tested against WP3.

YAK version 1.8.0 was released yesterday. This release includes the following changes:

• Add a discount override, to allow for discounts on a per-product basis (useful to get rid of old stock, for example)
• Add option-selection to products. This differs from the categorisation-method of specifying different types of a product, and allows you to setup a selectable range of options (multi-select). Thus you might have a mix-and-match product, where a customer can select 3 out of 10 options, and so on.
• Split installation code into separate file
• Fix a compatibility problem with the exclude-pages plugin
• Add more logging to product update process
• Add threshold-based promotions — promotions which are triggered by the value of the order, rather than by a promotion code/voucher.

I’m currently in the process of updating the handbook to take into account the new features. Those who have previously purchased the handbook will receive an updated copy as soon as it’s done.

Version 1.7.7 of YAK for WordPress has been released.

This release includes mainly bug fixes, including the following:

• Hopefully fix a problem with glob (on some PHP installs)
• Move order widget into separate file
• Change “Espana” into “Spain” in English files.
• Fix problem with country missing from shipping address in confirmation email and in order screen
• Add a new tag [phone] to confirmation email
• Fix a problem with address in order export
• Add message to Credit Card entry notifying the customer that they have a final chance to confirm/cancel the order
• Updated German translation, provided by Joern

This release has been tested on both WP and WPMU.

Hold off on upgrading to YAK version 1.3.9. There’s an annoying bug in the settings screen — for which I’ve just released 1.4.0.

The following changes are included in these 2 releases (note: replace { } with [ ] in the tags below):

• an override setting for confirmation email subject
• 2 new tags: {yak_back_to_cc} and {yak_back_to_address}, to be used on an authorize.net or paypal error page (when payment processing returns an error)
• initial support for Google Analytics (including new tag {yak_google_analytics} for the final confirmation page).
• support for html confirmation emails
• removed __autoload which was colliding with another plugin
• add proper monetary formatting to total on cart
• facility to override the message displayed when the customer’s basket is empty
• facility to embed customer details in the final confirmation page (after confirming order).
  The following tags are now available:

  {yak_customer_name}
  {yak_customer_phone}
  {yak_customer_address}
