Very short changelog... very suspicions ;)

Re: Meet 4.6.6: Simplify Commerce, SagePay API update, Universal Analytics, VAT exemption
 

But with your name in it ;)

Re: Meet 4.6.6: Simplify Commerce, SagePay API update, Universal Analytics, VAT exemption
 

Yes I saw that, thank you. Also sent you PM

Seen as I encountered several bugs with the 4.6.5 update, which have cost me a lot of money/a complete weekend of downtime, I will wait this update out for a month while the kinks are worked out.

Sorry to sound like an ass, but that won't be happening again, I'd rather wait a while before updating.

I like the idea of validating a VAT number & automatically removing tax after validation, sounds great.
I've been waiting for the universal analytics update, great to hear it has been implemented.

Re: Meet 4.6.6: Simplify Commerce, SagePay API update, Universal Analytics, VAT exemption
 

always a good idea to wait a bit. Please tell me you added a note in the upgrade notes that any version 4.6.4 or lower will require SOAP to be enabled on the server.

Re: Meet 4.6.6: Simplify Commerce, SagePay API update, Universal Analytics, VAT exemption
 

Upgrade notes have this

After the upgrade is completed, check the following features (Enable and configure the ones you will use and disable the ones you won't)

-Fedex shipping settings (SOAP extension is required)
