There are a couple of reasons this bugfixed version hasn't been uploaded yet. I guess the *main* reason is that the bug it fixes is rather small and doesn't affect the majority of users. I've also been pretty flat out for the last 4 or 5 months and haven't really had time to create, dissolve and test a new distribution package.

Although the 'latest' version I've supplied people is 1.0.6, there hasn't been any other interim releases.. the update in version numbers have been for my own reference as I've been making other changes and improvements to the code. On reflection I probably would have (or should have) created 1.0.6 distribution package several months ago.. I simply didn't expect it to take me as long as it has with some of the later developments. Hindsight is 20/20

As for the old/obsolete "AusPost" and "AustPost - Improved" modules, thanks for removing those, I'm sure it'll help avoid a lot of confusion.

I will also add that these two modules are/were not related in any way (other than making use of the Australia Post quotation servers).

The 'original' AusPost module (by Gerard Serna?) was broken (due to server changes) long before I created the "AustPost - Improved" code, and the AustPost - improved code got broken in September due to server/hosting issues beyond my control. Meanwhile, the fully functional ozpost module has been available since last February.

In theory, I could have ported the broken part of the AustPost - Improved code over to the new servers, but as mentioned, I had been pretty flat out, and it took all my 'spare' time getting 'ozpost' wotking again.

I know I don't really need to tell you (or justify the sequence of events to you), but felt that this short(?) summary would at least help you (and others) appreciate why there is a lot of apparent confusion, especially to those that don't frequent the forums on a regular basis.

Bottom line: The current ozpost module available in the downloads section is fully functional. It does have a couple of known bugs, but these bugs will not affect the majority of users because it relates to a combination if shipping methods that are so rarely used it was almost six months before the problem was first reported.

The next planned update is for early in the new year, with some significant improvements and additional shipping methods avaialabe.
