		+	==API Changes==
		+
		+	===XML Response Format===
		+
		+	As of 4.1, the API supports both name/value pairs and XML responses for API calls. As before, name/value pairs will remain the default response format but you can include "&responsetype=xml" in your request to receive an XML output such as:
		+
		+	<whmcsapi>
		+	<action>createinvoice</action>
		+	<result>success</result>
		+	<invoiceid>123</invoiceid>
		+	</whmcsapi>
		+
		+	===New API Calls===
		+
		+	The addition of XML response methods have enabled us to add a lot more data retrieval functions to the API. New functions include:
		+
		+	*Get Clients - retrieve a list of clients where the name or email matches a given string
		+
		+	*Get Orders - retrieve a list of orders based on ID, user ID and/or status
		+	*Get Order Statuses - get a summary of the number of orders in each status category
		+	*Pending Order - set an order back to Pending
		+	*Fraud Order - change an order status to Fraud
		+
		+	*Get Invoice - get the details and line items for a given invoice ID
		+	*Get Payment Methods - get a list of active payment methods

		+	*Get Support Departments - get a summary of tickets open and awaiting reply per department

		+	*Delete Ticket - erase a ticket from the database

		+	*Get To-Do Items - retrieve the list of to-do items based on various criteria
		+	*Get To-Do Item Statuses - get a summary of to-do items per status
