It has been a case of unfortunate timing. The NoChex payment module code is not very good. It was a hack someone did by mashing the PayPal IPN code. When I started using NoChex I realised that there was a number of bugs in the module and tried to fix them. My original intention was to post the fixed code up for other people to help test and then upload a working v1.2 module to the contributions section. Unfortunately, just before I had finished getting feed back on the v1.2 code someone else went and uploaded there own v1.2 code to the contributions section. After that I became too busy to worry about it so left it alone.

Recently, I've done some more work on the module and released some updates for people to test. Again my intention was to uploaded the module to the contributions section once I had some feedback that it was okay. Bad timing strikes again and v1.3.8 comes out with a version of the NoChex module integrated into core code.

Why the dev team felt the NoChex module needed to be integrated into core code I have no idea. There has never been any mention of it, nothing on a road map, not a single post stating that it was the intention. The NoChex module as it stands still has bugs in it and missing features. The v1.3.8 code is a step backwards on even that.

The closed source development of Zen Cart really frustrates me at times because contributors are left in the dark up until a release is done. We then have to spend time reverse engineering the release to find out how to fix our contributions. If we knew what was being changed ahead of time then life would be so much easier. We could have had v1.3.8 compatible modules ready for release which would have made everyones upgrading so much easier. Ho hum
