Here are the new features (I'll blog about them in more detail soon :)
SortExpression setting
An optional sort of the options after all records have been processed.
You can sort the options by any expression involving the shipping option fields: Rate, Name, Description
Query Expression support for First(), FirstOrDefault() and Select()
e.g. Instead of saying Items.Where(...).First(), you can just say Items.First(...)
More Extension functions:
String
Split(separator)
IsNumeric()
IsInteger()
ShoppingCartItem
GetAttributeValues(attributeName, valueSeparator)
GetAttributeValues(attributeName)
HasAttributeValue(attributeName, valueName)
HasAttributeValue(attributeName)
HasAttributeValue(valueId)
Product
HasCategory(categoryName)
HasCategory(categoryId)
HasCategoryMatch(categoryNameRegex)
Test
A store owner or developer can test their shipping calculations in the configuration page. Testing here is not limited to the 5 transaction limit in trial/evaluation mode.
You can select a customer to use test cart/address. (You must take that test customer through checkout process to the point of shipping address selection for that address to be stored with customer.)
Export tab delimited
Import tab delimited
Export/Import is not only great for backup and migrations, but also allows store owner to use different shipping scenarios with ease.
Additionally, you can work in Excel where data entry can be easier for advanced users - just save as "Text (tab delimited)".
