[DBTech] DragonByte eCommerce 5.0.2

Update highlights

This version updates the country fetching code to be more reliable, and no longer requires an API key. If you previously had problems fetching the country list, please run the "Update country list" cron job one more time manually, after which the list should populate itself correctly.

Furthermore, since no API key is needed, fresh installation should once again find the country list pre-populated.

Change: Switch to a more stable method of updating the country list

This version adds a major new feature; quantity support for physical products. When adding the same product variant to cart, it'll also merge into the existing order item, making bulk orders easier than ever.

Another important change in this version is an update to support the new API for fetching the list of countries. You now require a (free) API key in order to fetch this data, added via the new setting.

Lastly, a few bugs have been fixed.

Update highlights

The most important part of this release is: This product now requires PHP 7.3. This is a requirement set by one of the most important 3rd party libraries used by eCommerce, so it's entirely outside of our control. This library has had an important update that needed to be included in a release prior to Jan 1st 2021.

Please be aware that if you are not able to update to PHP 7.4 yourself, you should contact your web host and ask them to assist you with upgrading.
PHP 7.2 has been officially declared end-of-life and no longer receives security updates. Continuing to run PHP 7.2 may expose your website to unpatched security vulnerabilities or exploits.

The U.K. will no longer be classed as an EU country as of Jan 1st 2021, and its sales tax rate will no longer be automatically updated past that date.

This version also improves database query performance of the release / download lists in the front-end, meaning the functionality will scale better when you have a lot of releases available.


Complete Change Log

Change: Multiple performance improvements for download/release list in the front-end (Thanks @Xon)
Change: Updated PHP version requirement to 7.3
Change: The UK will no longer be listed as an EU country as of Jan 1st 2021
Fix: Fix potential server error during checkout

Update highlights
