#### Bug fixes (29)

- The shipping method name was not always displayed properly on the control panel latest orders listing.
- The display of the taxes in the invoice generated by the PDF invoice plugin didn't work properly when an increment was set in the currency.
- The coupons with percentage value didn't calculate properly when taxes were used and the "floating tax prices" setting was activated.
- The product export could potentially result in errors in some rare cases.
- We fixed an issue we had with the "X\_PRODUCTS\_ARE\_NOT\_SHIPPABLE\_TO\_YOU" shipping error message.
- We've fixed a notice when the geolocation system doesn't get an answer from the geolocation service.
- When you were selecting "all" in the pagination dropdown of the emails listing in the backend, it would display no email instead of displaying all of them.
- We fixed an error in some cases with the limit system on PHP 7.3
- The type selection on limits wasn't working properly and would redirect to the listing of limits instead of saving and staying on the page.
- We fixed an error message when calling the cron task URL in HikaShop Starter (where there is no cron).
- The search on coupons/discounts would have the coupon code display strangely on the backend listing in some cases.
- The ReCaptcha plugin didn't work properly when you were in guest mode on the checkout and you clicked on the "change information" button.
- The group plugin could create an error at the end of the checkout in some cases.
- The products listings could not display anymore when the menu item was of the categories listing type and wasn't saved once since Joomla 2.5 as the language parameter of the module would be empty instead of the default \* for Joomla 3. We've added a patch to avoid that.
- When displaying carts in the backend, if you had low prices attached to specific users and the carts were not assigned to any user (guest carts), these low prices would be used. Now, the prices attached to users are discarded.

- Report graphs could display wrong in some cases when your website would be configured with a timezone and the sales would be grouped by month.
- The link on the update language message from the HikaShop configuration didn't work properly anymore following the improvements to the language override edition of HkaShop 4.0.3
- The improvement to filter the "modules under the product page" by language from HikaShop 4.0.3 was actually creating products listing display issues in some cases on the frontend with Joomla 2.5.
- There was a bug in the conversion rate displayed on the backend dashboard which lead to wacky percentages being displayed.
- Custom fields of the type "link" didn't display properly if only the link was entered without any text.
- The radio/checkbox custom fields didn't handle properly selection for values with special characters in their "value" field.
- The unpublished sub categories were not taken into account for discounts (like it is for coupons).

- We've added messages to the cron system when the google products plugin is not able to connect to the google FTP due to wrong credentials.
