Yes, maintenance release v8.3.1 is now available.

This maintenance release addresses the issues listed below:


SHOPPING CART:

* fixes an issue encountered on some ShopSite v8.3 stores on Linux servers using Google Checkout where the Google Checkout transactions initiated from the ShopSite shopping cart would not appear as ShopSite orders in the Orders menu.

* fixes an issue where merchant using Google Checkout would see an error message, 'We tried to decode your message as "UTF-8", but couldn't -- it didn't map correctly.' in their Google Checkout account when a shopper attempted to purchase a product with high-ascii (accented, etc) characters in the product name, SKU, or ordering options. These products can now be ordered via Google Checkout.

* fixes an issue where in rare circumstances a ShopSite order placed through Google Checkout would have the subtotal off by one cent from the grand total.

* added support for Google Checkout's new requirements to provide a list of all countries that you will ship to or else you can only accept Google Checkout orders from shoppers shipping to addresses in your own country. The new list of available Google Checkout countries is configured under Commerce Setup -> State and Country.

* fixes an issue where Ordering Option Pricing values were not being removed from the selected Ordering Option when the shopper was sent to Google Checkout to finalize the order.

* fixes an issue when Google Analytics is enabled where Google Analytics goals and funnels were not tracking a unique shopper through the shopping cart if the domain name changes between the initial shopping cart screen and the secure checkout screen.

* fixes an issue where merchant with their initial shopping cart screen set to be secure (non-standard) could receive a browser security warning about non-secure content on this screen if they had enabled Google Analytics in their ShopSite store.

* fixes an issue for some stores using the LinkPoint payment gateway where if the shopper's first order attempt was rejected by the gateway, all subsequent attempts would also be rejected even if the shopper corrected the information that caused the initial failure.

* fixes an issue with the LinkPoint gateway where transactions would be rejected with an error similar to 'Error: SGS-020003: Invalid XML' error if the shopper's name contained high-ascii characters.

* fixes an issue where registered customers with previously saved address information could not select a new country for a new shipping address in the checkout screen.

* fixes an issue that would cause ScanAlert to report a XSS (cross-site scripting) issue for ShopSite v8.3 stores.

* fixes an issue that caused coupons with a record number higher than 9999 (affecting only merchants who have created over 9999 coupons) to not work properly.

* fixes an issue where a coupon's "Price" column would contain a garbage number if the coupon was 'not applied' because there were multiple coupons placed in the cart but the merchant settings were to only allow one coupon per shopper.

* fixes an issue If the merchant shipping option "Default Selected Shipping Option" is set to "None" then the first shipping method displayed in the cart can never be selected by the shopper.

* fixes an issue encountered by some Pro stores on Solaris-SPARC servers with the mini-cart feature enabled where using the United Kingdom pound or Japanese yen currencies would prevent the shopping cart screen from displaying (only a blank screen would be seen).


BACKOFFICE:

* fixes an issue for some Manager and Pro stores where attempting to download orders in QuickBooks .iif format will result in a blank downloaded file.

* added Inventory Assembly as a QuickBooks product type option.

* fixes an issue where products with ampersands in their name couldn't choose their QuickBooks item type because the pop-up window for the item type chooser would fail.

* fixes an issue where the Credit Card Security setting to not save credit card information could not be enabled (or disabled if already enabled).

* fixes an issue that prevented a merchant from deleting a database upload field map once it had been created.

* fixes an issue with Automatic XML Order Downloads that would cause download requests with startorder and endorder parameters to take longer than normal to produce the resulting download file.

* fixes an issue with Automatic XML Order Downloads that caused the optional 'maxorder' parameter to be ignored if provided.

* fixes an issue with Froogle feeds where products with spaces or ampersands in their More Information Page filename would cause the feed to be rejected by Froogle/Google Base.

* added 10 new currencies to the available currency selection for PayPal Website Payments Standard to support all 16 PayPal-supported currencies as of this release.

* fixes an issue where the coupon assignment was not removed from a Customer Registration group when that coupon was deleted.

* added support for Google Checkout's new requirements to provide a list of all countries that you will ship to or else you can only accept Google Checkout orders from shoppers shipping to addresses in your own country. The new list of available Google Checkout countries is configured under Commerce Setup -> State and Country.

* fixes an issue where the Pages -> Arrange Items function in a Manager store could result in duplicating a page or product on the page being arranged if all pull-downs in the arrangement sequence did not contain unique items when it was saved.


MISCELLANEOUS:

* fixes an issue where the SC_Cart shopping cart template tag would only allow 6 optional parameters instead of all 7 that are available.

* fixes an issue where large numbers of special characters in the data passed to a custom template CALL tag would cause the tag to fail.

* fixes an issue where in certain circumstances an extra "[--" would be output on a ShopSite-generated store page when using custom templates with INCLUDE tags.

* fixes an issue where the IMAGE custom template tag that should return only the image filename was also prepending the image size folder.

* fixes an issue where image resizing settings had no effect (the original image would always be displayed) when using some of the older default page or product templates.

* fixes an image resizing issue that caused the image to be resized (and resampled) when image height/width is equal to but does not exceed the maximum dimensions.

* fixes an issue where the _udn parameter required in the Google Analytics JavaScript for certain stores was misspelled as _und.

* fixes an issue where some additional variables were required in all Google Analytics JavaScript code if the domains change from the regular to the secure shopping cart screens (previously these variables were only added if the domain changed between the store pages and the initial shopping cart screen).

* fixes an issue with page links from the search results not working (resulting in a 404 page not found error) in certain circumstances where Google Analytics is enabled, caused by a bug in Google Analytics' __utmLinker function.
