1.1.0 on the 8th of September 2025

• The domestic shipping API the plugin implemented was not working properly. We changed to another API and it now works. We had to add several settings for this: "Processing Category", "Rate Indicator", "Entry Facility Type" and "Price Type".
• We've added a "Has non standard characteristics" setting you can activate for domestic shipping when shipping cylindrical tubes or rolls, certain high-density items, cartons containing more than 24 ounces of liquids in one or more glass containers, cartons containing 1 gallon or more of liquid in metal or plastic containers, and parcels with contents that may cause the parcel to roll or not maintain the integrity of the packaging during processing.
• We've added tooltips to many of the options of the plugin so that the merchant can better understand what to do.
