[DBTech] DragonByte eCommerce 3.4.0

Update highlights

This version adds a new back-end statistic for tracking products sold, which is currently only intended to be used by 3rd party developers.

Furthermore, it refreshes the design of the license list by adding direct links to editing license info, and purchasing add-on licenses (if they are available for the license's product). The number one question received @ DBTech is "how do I buy add-ons after buying the product", and it should now be more obvious.
The refreshed license list also displays the product's requirement labels.

The other major change involves VAT and geolocation. It is now no longer needed to enter an API key for a 3rd party webservice, as VAT validation is now done using the VIES validation webservice made by the European Union themselves.
In previous versions, the old webservice was also responsible for IP address lookup, which is now handled by GeoIP instead. This means your customers' IP addresses are no longer transmitted to any 3rd party service.

As a result of these changes, the API Key option has been removed.

A multitude of other smaller fixes have also been included, please see the full change log for more information.

Update highlights

This version is a major upgrade that restructures the way product types function.

In previous versions, it was only possible to have "digital" and "physical" products, and all digital products had the same capabilities / functionality; add-on products, licenses and downloads. Not every digital product requires these features, however.

To address this, product types have been re-structured so they are dynamic, making easier to add new ones. The first example of this is the new Service product type.
Services do not have any of the functionality of digital downloads; no add-on products, no licenses and no downloads.

In the future, more product types will be added, such as the ability to sell serial keys for things like games (from a finite, pre-determined stock of keys), and more.

This version fixes a few lingering issues since Beta 2.

Note: If you are running DragonByte Tickets, you must upgrade Tickets to v2.1.0 in order for it to continue working. Failure to do so will cause errors when viewing support ticket threads.

Update highlights

This version fixes a few issues that cropped up after the 1.6.0 release.

When using the "Generated" download feature while running XenForo 2.1.7, downloads could fail if your PHP version had updated to a new version of the ZipArchive extension.

An issue was also discovered with the coupon code field, in which it would only appear if the order also required an address.

Fix: Fix an issue with XF 2.1.7 causing release builds to fail
Fix: The coupon code field would only show up if the order required an address

Update highlights

This version contains one major feature aimed at giving you the option to make the checkout process even smoother: You can now control whether address is required during checkout, even for paid orders.
(Physical orders still require an address no matter what, for obvious reasons.)

If you don't use the Sales Tax system, you may not need to know the user's address at all for digital orders, and you now have the ability to disable address collection entirely.

This version also merges the "Validate billing country before payment" setting into this new setting.

Furthermore, a potential server error when logging API requests was discovered by the community and has now been fixed.
