Released under the GPL.

version 2.3.8

• 06/07/2009
• Added Royal Mail Surface Mail and Royal Mail Surface Mail International Signed For Modules.
• 03/06/2009
• Standard parcels (all 4 insurance versions) had a bug with the minimum weight for Guests using the shipping estimator so it would quote inappropriate rates and then when they logged in the rates would disappear.

version 2.3.7

• 18/05/2009
• Airsure bug fixed where it was not detecting the "rest of the world countries"
• International Signed for upgraded to be able to exclude countries.

version 2.3.6

• Bug fixes to royal mail standard parcels modules.
• Undefined constants errors removed in all Airmail modules.
• Beta - ability to exclude countries added to Airmail Small Packets

version 2.3.5

• 13/05/2009
• Bug fixes to royal mail standard parcels modules.
• optional shipping estimator code now upgraded to Zen Cart version 1.3.8a and re-arranged in directory to enable easier installation.

version 2.3.4

• 06/04/2009
• Minor bug fix to Airmail Small Packets, when uninstalled and error was displayed in admin.
• Major change in that parcelforce and all courier modules have now been removed and are to be found under ParcelForce shipping modules.

version 2.3.3

• 29/03/2009 :
• Major change - all modules when installed are now "disabled" by default. The majority of "shop owners" are installing on live sites and so if they install a module it would appear on a customer's shopping trolley and checkout before the owner had a chance to check the figures or that the handling fees are correct.
• New Modules - ukcourier, this is a very basic module for shop owners that want a basic courier module without going to the trouble of setting up zones and placing the Scottish Highlands in a separate pricing zone.
• specialdeliverysat - This is BETA CODE, this module will appear to the customer after the post office has shut on a Thursday through to when it closes on a Friday, giving the option of Saturday Special Delivery, but it does rely on the server having the correct time and being in the UK, in the next release this will be corrected.
• Module Update - Standard Parcels now has a minimum weight setting. The royal mail calculates the price in a band from 0 to 2Kg, whereas some shop owners may prefer to send items by 1st Class up to a kilo and then offer standard parcels, this new setting enables this scenario and will be migrated across all modules.
• Removals - the sql that removed all the royal mail details from the database and the sql for when people upgraded version that were 2~3 years old has been removed from the optional section after a newbie ran it on his live site by mistake and damaged his installation.

• All airmail countries have been altered to move from Royal Mail's 2006 definitions to 2009. Airsure countries have been corrected, The code base for Airmail and International Signed has been altered to create a cleaner more accurate code, reflecting the Royal Mail's change from Europe, World Zone 1 & World Zone 2, to Europe & the Rest of the World.
• 12/03/2009
