This update includes the following items:

• Shipping address bug
  Fixed an issue in the Place an Order tool in which customer names containing apostrophes, or other characters that can cause security issues, would prevent the user from being able to select a shipping address in certain circumstances.
• Support Ticket Attachments
  Support Ticket attachments have been re-enabled. A variety of files may again be attached to Support Tickets from within the store's administration area.
• Customer Import
  Made some improvements to the customer import system to prevent the creation of customers with duplicate email addresses. Added error checking so that newly imported customers may not have the same email address as an existing customer.
• Error Handling
  Added some new internal error handling features. (Including silent failure for non fatal issues.)
• PayPal COST Integration
  Added some improvements to the PayPal COST system to improve management of customer shopping session ID numbers. Since the customer completes their order on PayPal's website, the shopping cart sometimes has difficulty allowing the customer to pick up where they left off and place another order immediately after returning to the shopping cart.
• XSS Attacks
  Updated the system that protects against XSS attacks to improve the handling of PHP objects embedded within $_SESSION data.
• Navigation Menu
  The following links in the Hosting and Support menus have been updated to open in a new browser window: Hosting Control Panel, All Manuals, Forums, Knowledge Base, QuickCode Tag Glossary and Spheres of Support.
• Support Ticket Editor (v3.4.13a)
  Removed some debugging output from the top of the Support Ticket Editor screen that was left over from the work done to the file attachment options.
