vBShop v2.0.1:

• Multi-Currency Support
  Those of you interested in selling real-world items should find this a welcome change - you can now have a "special" currency that can only be used for purchasing your special items.
• "Custom Field" Items (w/ purchase notification)
  A new item type has been added, "Custom Item", which in the Lite version is used to house the previous "Gift" items that have no actual functionality. You can be notified when someone buys the item.
• Revamped Shop Layout
  One of the main problems of vBShop v1 was that the layout wasn't exactly stellar, and having Gifts and Items separate was confusing to members. Both these problems have been corrected for v2.
  The layout uses AJAX for adding items to the shopping cart.
• Revamped Purchase Process
  It is now possible to buy more than one item in one go, via the use of a shopping cart. For that reason, we've split the "configuration" from the "purchase" process.
  What this means is, say a member buys "Username Change". Upon completion of their purchase, they will be redirected to their inventory, where they can click "Configure" for the newly purchased item. This is the page that lets them actually change their username.
  The main reason why we implemented this change is that it is now possible to set items to be re-usable. To follow up on the above example, a member may use the item to change their usernames multiple times (either infinitely, or until the item expires.)
• Stock
  Each individual shop can have its own individual stock (and price / currency) of an item.

The following features are missing from vBShop v1.x and will be restored over the course of the next couple weeks:

• Lotteries
  • No data from existing lotteries will be carried over to the final incarnation of vBShop 2.0 lotteries due to the vast differences in data storage and functionality.
