what exactly does this accomplish? Looks like that whole page could be cleaned up a lot.

The main changes are related to "Categoryselector" and "Cost_Pricing" features. The other changes are removing some spaces in the templates.

Congratulations to the team working on XC4: a lot of small bugs were fixed in very little time!
Great accomplishment, thank you very much.

I will need some time to test the upgrade since we don't really have much time for this now.

A bug I have encountered in 4.7.4 is that when using "Create new order" in the admin, no tax is displayed on invoices created by the admin (even when selecting a country where tax is set).
Tax is calculated in the prices, the field for tax on the invoice just stays empty.
Has this been addressed in 4.7.5? If not, here's another bug for the list
