Does this new version now address the new requirement by MasterCard & Discover for Authorize.net gateway? Someone from Qualiteam mentioned it would be available in this thread: http://forum.x-cart.com/showthread.php?t=53163 but I don't see the update in the changelog (unless I just overlooked it).

[cflsystems]

I don't think they had the time to do this for the 4.3.2, it will be probably included in 4.4

4.3.2 is a bug-fix version, it doesn't contain new features
New features go into new major update which is going to be v4.4

[drudden]

I'm only asking about this, because in a previous post on this forum the Qualiteam CTO stated: "The ability to use updated Authorize.net AIM API will be added in X-Cart 4.4.0 as well as in X-Cart 4.3.2."

Given this statement and the need for compliance with the credit card companies being due within the next month, naturally I would've thought this would be included in the update.

Auth.net has extended that deadline for another year, don't need to worry about it just yet.
