Bug Fixes:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-Updated whois listing for eu domains to correctly identify when available

-Updated 2checkout nonmerchant gateway to reflect change in POST URL

-Fixed whois lookup with some servers requiring "\r\n" as termination signal 
for input.

-Fixed verifyemail() function, previously returned invalid email response for
addresses that have no MX record without verifying that the DNS record for that
domain is also invalid.

-Modified paypal and paypal subscription gateways to handle callback 
confirmation using URL encoding, due to changes Paypal introduced recently
causing multi-part form encoding to fail the verification test.

-Fixed issue that prevented ability to create a new order form immediately 
after deleting one.

-Fixed issue that create a new transactions when updating a transaction's
status from unapproved to "approved", rather than simply updating the existing
transaction.

-Fixed issue in a-center.php that displayed client-only tabs to admins in the 
manage service section.

-Fixed issue that allowed support departments to be updated without a name.

-Fixed issue that caused a client's currency to change to the system's default
currency upon an update to the client's My Info page.

-Fixed issue that prevented late notices from being sent if no admin was
subscribed to receive BCC notices.

-Fixed issue with mass mailer that prevented the subject and from address from
being properly set.

We're just working on finishing up the documenter, so we can provide proper documentation with minPHP, after that it will be available at www.minphp.org. We'll announce it on our forums, our blog, twitter, and some other places.

Nice! Lack of POP3 pickup was an issue for me, when we eventually get around to implementing Blesta the plan was just to use something like fetchmail to inject mail locally... now that's one thing off the list!

I've said it multiple times, while it's still not 100% where we need it to be just yet, Blesta is shaping up nicely and I really like how receptive and hard-working the dev team is.
