New features

This beta release includes many bug fixes that may be tracked on our Bazaar log site. The default payment methods check, COD, and 'other' have been moved into their own module that will need to be enabled if your site is using them. Finally, credit card encryption has made it into core and could use some testing. For more information, check out the news post at Ubercart.org.

A businesses email address is now passed through check_markup to allow filters such as invisimail to be applied.
