[[Upgrading|View Standard Upgrade Steps]]

As this is a minor version increment there is no incremental being provided. The upgrade process however remains the same once the full version files have been uploaded.

=Release Notes=

* '''New Order Form Templates''' - Version 6.1 introduces 4 new order form templates: Standard Cart, Premium Comparison, Pure Comparison and Cloud Slider. All of these carts are responsive, desktop and mobile friendly, and support a number of new features and options not present in earlier order form templates. These order forms can be activated and used in the normal way via the General Settings or Product Group configuration areas. More information on these can be found in [[Standard Order Form Templates]]

* '''Expanded Product Group Functionality''' - The new order forms also include a range of new functionality. This includes product group headlines, taglines, featured products and product group features. For more information on this and other changes relating to product groups, please visit [[Product Groups]]

* '''Health & Updates Page''' - The new Health & Updates page is designed to provide an overview of a WHMCS installation and system environment status. Accessable via the Help menu, it will highlight any potential configuration or security related issues that may need your attention. For further information, please see [[Health & Updates]].

* '''MaxMind Address Verification Warnings''' - We've added a new setting to Maxmind named "Do Not Validate Address Information". This replaces the "Do Not Include City" setting that existed previously, and expands on that setting to ignore not only City based validation warnings, but also State, Zip Code and Country validation failures. This allows for more permissive behaviour as defined by MaxMind's warning rather than error level responses. If you had the "Do Not Include City" option enabled prior to upgrading, the new "Do Not Validate Address Information" setting will be automatically enabled during the upgrade process.

* '''Product/Service Unsuspension Notification Email''' - Back in 6.0 we introduced the ability to configure an email to be automatically sent whenever a product is automatically unsuspended. In 6.1, we've taken that a step further and added an option to have this email sent when performing a manual unsuspension from within the Product/Service Module Commands popups when invoking an unsuspend.

* '''Support for Custom Ports in PDO''' - We have always supported custom ports for MySQL in WHMCS, but with the introduction of PDO in 6.0, we found that we hadn't exposed the option for defining a port via the WHMCS configuration file. In 6.1 we've addressed that and a Custom MySQL Port can now be defined using the $db_port variable. The installer has also had a dedicated field added to make it possible to perform new installations on customised MySQL setups.
