  • Fixed with Magento: in the order browser, the Ship To column showed the 'customer name' which actually corresponded to the billing name rather than the ship to name.
  • Fixed with Amazon: 'actual ship cost' was being set to the imported ship cost.
  • Fixed with Stamps.com: if the misnamed 'Large Envelope or Flat Rate' package type was selected as the default package type and the software was upgraded to 5.1, the settings screen would no longer open. This error could also occur if an arbitrary string was entered for default package type and the settings screen was reopened.
  • Fixed with the FTP Exporter: the settings screen wouldn't work right for new users.
  • Fixed with CSV/ODBC importing: if residential indicator was not configured, the "import all addresses as residential when ambiguous" option would not kick in.
  • Fixed with Stamps.com: if an APO or FPO shipment did not have the required unit weight and unit price defined for each item, an unhelpful error message of '(null)' would be displayed. An explicit error message is now displayed instead.
