Please forgive me for being a bit of a pleb but could you elaborate a little on

Now accepts transactions in Dollars and Euros as well as Sterling when using Actinic Payments. PSP-256

[leehack]

If we can do many currencies now with actinic payments, that sounds good.

Any chance of the changes written in English also please:

9.Dragging and dropping sections no longer causes a crash a content category field has null value. AC9-2816

[brucet]

Dragging and dropping sections no longer causes a crash a content category field has null value.

Sorry, that should read:

Dragging and dropping sections no longer causes a crash if the database has a content category field (Product.nContentCategory) with value NULL

If you haven't had it, it may not mean much to you. Personally, I haven't had it ;-)

If you have Actinic Payments, you can now set up your site in Dollars or Euros instead of Sterling, and accept payments in those currencies.

And they'll settle in Sterling in to a Sterling account?

Intermittent VAT exempt problem

Have looked at the list of bug changes and would like confirmation that you are ignoring or have not dealt with the bug as outlined in

about incorrect tax calculations

in particular following the quote from Ben in post #39

"Hi Tracey,

I appreciate this is highly frustrating. I want to assure you we are taking this very seriously and currently working on the problem. As soon as we have a fix it will be going into the next maintenance release, which we plan to be rather small, targeted and available quickly.

Hi Dave,

It is covered by

'Order totals no longer differ if Component set to separate order line in Tax Inclusive mode. AC9-2707'

[NicolaUK]

And they'll settle in Sterling in to a Sterling account?

Any chance I can get clarification on this please?

Actinic Payments wont actually change the currency, it just passes this to the bank who will deal with it. Your bank will be able to answer how this is done their side and what merchant account would be required.

Thanks Darren.

and I can confirm, from what testing I have been able to do, that it appears fixed and working as it should

I've tested our site with this beta and the snapshot export issue seems to be resolved. Can take snapshots now without disabling drillpine's multi image plug-in. So that's one good thing to know. When is 9.0.5 going to be fully released?

Seconded!

Actinic can only get better...

I've rewritten all my add-on's to work around this bug.

The new versions also have the advantage that they work about 10 times faster than before. Very useful if you've a big site.

Email with details of what you're using and I'll send the updates.
