Release Notes

• New Order Form Templates - Version 6.1 introduces 4 new order form templates: Standard Cart, Premium Comparison, Pure Comparison and Cloud Slider. All of these carts are responsive, desktop and mobile friendly, and support a number of new features and options not present in earlier order form templates. For further details, please refer to the Feature Spotlight available here: http://blog.whmcs.com/?t=106071
  • Standard Cart is the new default order form for all new installations. When upgrading, your default order form settings will not be altered. To take advantage of the new fully responsive mobile friendly order form however, we recommend changing your Default System Order Form setting in Setup > General Settings > Ordering.
  • To utilise the new Premium Comparison, Pure Comparison or Cloud Slider order form templates, we recommend configuring these at the Product Group level in Setup > Products/Services, where you can choose a different order form template on a per product group basis.
  • When utilising one of the new order form product selection pages, we always recommend using the Standard Cart as the system default order form template.
  • For more information on the Order Form templates and what features and functionality each supports, please refer to our Standard Order Form Templates documentation.
  • New documentation has also been made available for working with Order Form Templates which includes details on how to take advantage of the new parent relationship functionality for template inheritance.
  • All existing order form templates will continue to work without requiring any changes.

• Expanded Product Group Functionality - The new order forms also include a range of new functionality. This includes product group headlines, taglines, featured products and product group features. For more information on this and other changes relating to product groups, please visit Product Groups documentation.

• Health & Updates Page - The new Health & Updates page is designed to provide an overview of a WHMCS installation and system environment status. Accessable via the Help menu, it will highlight any potential configuration or security related issues that may need your attention. This feature replaces the Check for Updates page that existed previously. For further information, please refer to the Feature Spotlight available here: http://blog.whmcs.com/?t=106158
  • Full documentation can be found at Health & Updates

• MaxMind Address Verification Warnings - We've added a new setting to Maxmind named "Do Not Validate Address Information". This replaces the "Do Not Include City" setting that existed previously, and expands on that setting to ignore not only City based validation warnings, but also State, Zip Code and Country validation warnings. This allows for more permissive behaviour as defined by MaxMind's warning rather than error level responses. If you had the "Do Not Include City" option enabled prior to upgrading, the new "Do Not Validate Address Information" setting will be automatically enabled during the upgrade process.

• Product/Service Unsuspension Notification Email - In 6.0 we introduced the ability to configure an email to be automatically sent whenever a product is automatically unsuspended. In 6.1, we've taken that a step further and added an option to have this email sent when performing a manual unsuspension from within the Product/Service Module Commands popups when invoking an unsuspend.

• Support for Custom Ports in PDO - We have always supported custom ports for MySQL in WHMCS, but with the introduction of PDO in 6.0, we found that we hadn't exposed the option for defining a port via the WHMCS configuration file. In 6.1 we've addressed that and a Custom MySQL Port can now be defined using the $db_port variable. The installer has also had a dedicated field added to make it possible to perform new installations on customised MySQL setups.

• eWay Token Payments Gateway - eWay is a leading global merchant payment services provider that operates accross a number of countries. The new eWay Tokens module included in WHMCS 6.1 is a tokenised gateway module that allows you to perform credit card processing and recurring billing without having to store credit card details locally. For more information, please refer to the eWay Tokens gateway documentation page.

• 101Domain Domain Registrar - 101Domain is a domain registrar that specialises in the registration of international domain names, supporting many of the world's local gTLDs. For more information, please refer to the 101Domain dedicated documentation page.

• If you are looking to perform a license refresh, this can now be done on-demand in Help > License Information.
