* Allow specifying alternate location of counter files in the Database directive
with AUTO_NUMBER_FILE setting.
+* Add option to use a custom SQL function as a counter.
+
+ This allows something other than a plain database sequence to be used to
+ replace counter files, for example to allow character prefixes or suffixes
+ with sequences, or to avoid writing files locally when in a cluster
+ environment.
+
+ For example, if you create a function called "custom_counter" in PostgreSQL,
+ you would set up catalog.cfg like this:
+
+ UserDB default sql_counter "userdb:custom_counter('userdb_username_seq')"
+ Route default sql_counter "transactions:custom_counter('order_number_seq')"

* Allow [if var ...] as shorthand for [if variable ...].
* Quell threaded perl warning for 5.8.8 and above.
* Fail gracefully on bad searches (#164).
-* Fix bug where previous rows values were left in $Row if [loop] was iterated
- with [PREFIX-next].
+* Make global ActionMap input consistent with catalog ActionMaps (RT #48), such
+ that they all have the action at the beginning of the path.
-UserTag
--------
+* Add new Preload catalog directive. This is just like Autoload but runs at the
+ earliest possible stage of page processing, which allows tweaking the session,
+ path, robot status, cookie handling, authorization, cookie handling, etc.
+
+* Add new UserTrack boolean catalog directive, which enables or disables
+ sending the X-Track HTTP response header. Off by default, but formerly was on.
+
+* Allow the shipping.asc weight to be modified with weight_callout SpecialSub.
+
+ This SpecialSub modifies the 'weight' criteria in shipping.asc. It does not
+ affect other calculations, such as the [weight] usertag. In the following
+ example, it is used to exclude items that are part of a free shipping
+ promotion from the calculation of the shipping cost. That is, if two out of
+ three items qualify for free shipping, then only the weight of the third
+ item would be used for weight-based shipping methods.
+
+ # Override the normal shipping.asc weight calculations to take the free
+ # shipping promotion into consideration. Uses custom is_free_shipping and
+ # weight Item Modifiers. Only non-free-shipping items have their weight
+ # included.
+ Sub custom_weight <<EOF
+ sub {
+ my ($normal_weight) = @_;
+
+ my $new_weight = 0;
+ for my $item (@$Items) {
+ $new_weight += $item->{weight} * $item->{quantity}
+ unless $item->{is_free_shipping};
+ }
+ return $new_weight;
+ }
+ EOF
+ SpecialSub weight_callout custom_weight
+
+* Allow default error labels to be set in the Locale.
+
+ The previous behavior was to use the variable name when no label was given.
+ This change causes it to first check for a default label in the form of an
+ error_label_${variable name} entry in the Locale configuration before
+ falling back on just the variable name. As such, it is fully backwards
+ compatible.
+
+ This is useful if you use Locale to override the error messages in core
+ modules and also want to override the display of the label without setting
+ up or modifying the profile everywhere the error may be displayed (with
+ labels) on the site. For example:
+
+ Locale en_US <<EOF
+ {
+ # Override an error in Order.pm with one specific to this catalog.
+ "'%s' for item %s is not numeric/integer",
+ "We do not offer fractions of a product. (The quantity you entered was '%s'.)",
+
+ # Also override the error label.
+ "error_label_mv_order_quantity",
+ "Quantity",
+ }
+ EOF
+
+* Allow rounding of negative numbers by round_to_frac_digits routine.
+
+* Allow empty field changes to stick, fixing "(none)" image selections.
+
+* Give the "flypage" SpecialSub the choice of returning a plain SKU value
+ rather than the overly-complicated { mv_results => [[$sku]] } hashref.
+
+* Added a cache to save on lookups in the min/max quantity enforcement code.
+
+* Stop including an old version of HTML::Entities with Interchange.
+ Use the current CPAN version instead.
+
+* Remove never-used dump command, which is only for the DBM sessions that
+ no one uses any more.
+
+* Fix problems caused by prototype mismatch in Perl 5.10.
+
+* UserDB: Allow saved shipping and billing addresses to be returned as a raw
+ hashref for use in Perl.
+
+* Add ability to set attrDefault for the Widget codedef type, which then
+ transmits that to the opt hash prior to widget routine call.
+
+* Add ability to define multiple columns in the same Database COLUMN_DEF line.
+
+* Make explicit the various implicit dependencies between PreFork,
+ PreForkSingleFork, and StartServers.
+
+ PreForkSingleFork should only ever affect behavior in conjunction with
+ PreFork true, ensuring the prefork code path is entirely controllable by
+ the value of PreFork.
+
+ Fixed condition on StartServers where a positive value for that parameter
+ when not in PreFork mode spawned a StartServers number of superfluous
+ daemons that were never used. Now, StartServers is effectively ignored
+ unless PreFork is also true.
+
+* UserTag aliases now allow names tags to be specified using hyphens or
+ underscores. Previously, only underscores were allowed.
+
+ITL

* Added scratch option to [get-url] for saving binary content into a scratch
variable instead of returning it.
* Fixed invalid JavaScript generated by the button tag (#135).
+* Allow [include] et al. to scan the local TemplateDir as well as the global
+ version.
+
+* [save-cart]: Don't delete the cart after saving if the new "keep" parameter
+ is set true.
+
+* Respect new "charset" parameter for [email] to allow sending UTF-8 emails.

+
+ The docs here:
+
+ http://www.icdevgroup.org/interchange-doc-5.2.0/frames/ictags_121.html
