=== New Retention Report ===
We've finished porting the retention report to NATS4.
=== Extra FHG Displayed ===
When you try to display the first 20 FHG adtools, the first 21 are
displayed. We fixed this minor display error.

You can now make transactions through CCBill Web900 in NATS4.
=== NetBilling Poll Fixed to Update All Sites ===
We fixed the NetBilling poll so that it gets updated information for
all of your sites instead of just one site.

information, please see the following article:
http://wiki.toomuchmedia.com/index.p...word_Retrieval

Affiliates will get a paginated list of all adtools by default. To
restrict the list to a subset of the available adtools, affiliate must
enter a search criteria.
=== Site Settings Overriding Tour Settings ===
Between NATS 4.0.34.1 and 4.0.37.1, site default settings overrode tour
specific settings. This has been corrected going forward. If you are
currently in between the versions mentioned above, please submit a
support ticket to be upgraded.
=== Wrong Banner Shape Reported by NATS ===
NATS reported the wrong banner shape in some cases. We fixed this.
=== Improved Administrator Reports ===
We made numerous small improvements to the NATS4 administrator reports.

advanced users who felt comfortable editing their configurations files
are now available in the NATS Configuration Admin. Next to each option
is a description of what changing this option can do for you.

On some versions of NATS4, the exchange rate was always zero. This issue
is fixed as of the latest version. If you are experiencing this issue,
please submit a support ticket.
=== sTrack Changes Ampersand in URLs ===
An ampersand in an strack URL was sometimes replaced with "&".
This is fixed.

We've removed a bug that prevented searching on an affiliate's first or last
name.
=== Automatically Downloading WTS IP Addresses ===
NATS will now automatically download a list of WTS IP addresses from
WTS so that you don't need to update NATS every time WTS changes their
IP addresses.
=== Payvia Field Conversions Failed When Conversion Not Needed ===
When you add a new field to a PayVia, NATS tried to convert the field
name you gave to a valid internal name, but that didn't work if the name was
already valid. We fixed it so that you can enter valid names directly.
=== nats_encode and nats_list_linkcodes Now Take userid Parameter ===
You can now generate linkcodes for a specific user using the userid
parameter. Please refer to the following wiki article for complete details:
http://wiki.toomuchmedia.com/index.p...list_linkcodes

A bug prevented NATS from processing automatic cascades. We fixed the bug.
=== Affiliates Overcharged for Credits ===
NATS deducted the biller fees for a credit twice. NATS now computes
the charge correctly.
=== NATS Sent Erroneous Notifications About Payout Failures ===
NATS told program owners that payouts failed even when they didn't and
it didn't correctly record information about the alleged payout
failure into the log. Both of these problems are fixed.
=== Downloadable Adtools Linked to Wrong Program ===
Downloadable adtools didn't grab the correct program I.D., so
affiliates weren't always credited under the correct program. This is
now fixed.
=== Member Session Information Update ==
In various places, NATS will now try to pull member information from sources
other than the session if the surfer's browser disables cookies.

We've updated the default payvia dumps so that they are more consistent and use
the correct fields throughout these dumps.

NATS now provides the ability to dump your admin reports in either a CSV of XML
format, allowing you to view your stats outside of NATS.
=== Weighted Cascades Bug Fix ===
The was a bug in the signup process that occured at random times when using 2
or more weighted cascades with the same description. This is fixed as of the
latest version.
=== Site Admin Internal Improvements ===
We've added better validation checks when editing a site in the Sites Admin,
making it easier for your to find any potential mistakes if you enter in bad
site information.
=== Switching Adtools Didn't Reset View Count ===
Switching from one adtool type to another didn't reset the page view
count, so going from adtool 20 on one page to another page with only five
adtools didn't show the five new adtools. This is fixed as of the latest
version.
=== Creating Adtools with Spaces in Their Names ===
You can nowcreate adtool types with spaces in the name.
=== NATS Required Unrequired Netbilling Fields ===
NATS required several fields that Netbilling doesn't require; we
no longer require the following fields: birth date, social security
number, driver license number, and state.

You can now choose one of the alternative form URL's for CCBill.
CARMA 1.3
~~~~~~~~~

start generating the video as mplayer looked for a sound card. We added
sound card-disabling code to CARMA to speed up video production.

member's IP address in the member notes when they login.

prevent affiliates from changing their account details without

=== Cleanup Admin Speed Improvement ===
Several small changes to our back-end code can be enabled with the
following configuration variable to speed up the cleanup admin.
$config['CLEANUP_ADMIN_EXEC'] = 1;
=== Using WebCams's Amount Field ===
NATS usually gets the sale amount from the WebCams "Commission"
variable, but a configuration variable in your NATS configuration file
lets NATS get the sale amount from the WebCams "Amount" variable. For
details, please see the following article:
http://wiki.toomuchmedia.com/index.php/WebCams
=== Third Parties List Sorted Alphabetically ===
We sorted the third parties list in the Third Parties Admin
alphabetically so you can quickly find specific third parties.
=== $0 Transactions Recorded ===
On version 3.1.54.1, NATS recorded legitimate CCBill 900 transactions
as $0 transactions. This is fixed in the most recent version of NATS.
=== Conversion Ratios Added to Tour Report ===
We added conversion rations for the raw and unique clicks to the tour
report.
=== Email Sent Multiple Times On Slowly Replicated Databases ===
Slowly replicated databases couldn't tell NATS when an email was sent,
so NATS sometimes sent the email several times. NATS now checks the
master database to see if the email was sent, resolving the problem.
=== Duplicate Billers Sometimes Ignored ===
NATS supports multiple instances of the same biller, but sometimes it
only used the account information for the first biller. This is fixed.

We made a few changes to the retention report to reduct the amount of
memory it uses when displayed.

NATS now supports EU Debit transactions with DHD Media.
