Misc Changes

Added support for an older version of the data bridge in this version of TM

Minor change to database utilities to allow checking files on a case by case basis and skipping calculation of files size for them so that utilities will run under certain error conditions (as advised by support)

Also changed utilities to ignore any empty files added for version 7 migration a a preventative measure for opening the data utilities

Revised notification for tickets sales. Added support for notifications based on sales promotion for web sales only.

Fixed issue with plug ins that depend on donations when tickets are sold at the box office. If the box office entered a donation that made a customer eligible for a discounted ticket, then reduced the value of the donation to make the customer ineligible, the ticket could remain at the eligible price. (this only affects sales at the box office).

Fixed a display issue with plug ins to re-calculate the amount owing on an order.

Fixed an issue where it was possible to re-price a ticket in the box office using the promotion for a different venue under some very odd and unusual circumstances. The probability of setting up the situation where this could occur is very low - and we just happened to notice it ourselves. Its now fixed

Misc minor changes to address compatibility with version 7 as we notice things

Fixed a bug for authenticated SMTP server which could affect sending emails - under certain SMTP server configurations.

Fixed a bug where the tax amount was not being calculated properly on tickets ... if the ticket was purchased, then a pass was used to pay for it -AND- the ticket fees did not have the same tax tables applied to them as the ticket did.

Fixed a bug in web sales under outlet version where either outlet could clean up carts for the other. Now a web listener can only clean up carts for its own outlet.

Added code to bias the main web listener to start up first in a multi-outlet listener ... where the data utilities is restricted to a certain IP address

Changed the code in the listener on PC's NOT to unload and reload the TCP/IP stack in case that might be cause issues on the web listener during retart after backup.

revised archive code to remove only tickets that are not sold and have no transactions. This keeps all ticket sales history and thins the database at the same time.

Added code to assist migration of database to version 7 - to check for duplicate main indexes.
