Update to version 3.8.2 R.1

Please read the following if you have made any changes to the following areas of your cart

  • Checkout

The following files will be renamed if they have been modified using Cart Designer or if they exist in your custom skin:

  • templates/pages/checkout/cart.html

This action is necessary to ensure that your cart has all the necessary bug fixes related to this release. Because the files are renamed, you can apply the difference between your skin file and the original engine skin file to the .382r1 suffixed file. When you are satisfied with the change, you can rename the file and remove the .382r1 suffix. After doing, clear the Skin Cache by logging in to the admin area and going to Cart Settings > Appearance Settings and clicking on the Refresh Theme button.
