CBSubs 1.2.1 Released!
.
CBSubs 1.2.1 is mainly a maintenance release.
Special thanks to Kyle for helping us now on payment gateways, while we are preparing the pilot developers program, and to Nick for the huge documentation made (now at 470 pages!) and to both for the non-regression tests.
There is a new AlertPay payment gateway included now, that we have developed with the cooperation of the AlertPay support team, many thanks for their help. There is a small bug at AlertPay's side that we identified and that AlertPay will be fixing asap, but a work-around is included in the fine CBSubs manual.
We have also updated the 2Checkout gateway to the newest release of their protocols. So
if you're using 2Checkout, this is a needed upgrade.
Based on our own experience here on this site, we have improved the Ogone error message when a credit-card issuer is denying a transaction to suggest to the buyer to contact his credit-card issuer to fix the problem (e.g. that his card has not enough credit, or that the issuer blocked temporarly, in most cases a phone call solves the problem, and since adding that message, we reduced our payments-related support a lot. Ogone liked the idea and is implementing the change also on their platform for the next release.
Main fixes are for the new features of CBSubs 1.2 (Promotions engine, Conditions on plans availability, pending payment emails, ...), and the handling of different refunds INS events that came with the new version of Ogone's server-side software. Finally, Joomla 1.6 multiple usergroups are now correctly supported in CBSubs 1.2 (backend usergroup changes in CB user manager will also require the upcoming CB release to work fully).
This makes CBSubs 1.2.1 a recommended upgrade for CBSubs 1.2 users.
Upgrade is easy as usual: backup, install over the extensions that are installed, and existing settings are kept.
