Bug Fixes

• FedEx "Use List Rates" setting wasn't used--rates always used account rates
• Free Shipping offers didn't discount shipping rate adjustments or product extra ship fees
• Advanced Search displayed out-of-stock products set to not show on site
• Successive searches from search page revert to original keyword after page 1

• New orders always have status set to "On Hold" when loyalty points are disabled and when the "Debit Loyalty Points" workflow step is configured to change the order status on failure
• Rolled back hiding of browser header and footer when printing in Chrome & Firefox because it caused an issue with Internet Explorer
• Editing an order with deleted products from the cart (before order was placed) caused erroneous data in admin and would generate an error when editing the order
• Editing an order and assigning a user account to it caused product prices to update
• Editing an order set the 'admin price' which prevented the use of the "Recalculate Product Price" button from working
• Hidden categories were not dislayed in category tree

• Product prices and inventory quantities sometimes wouldn't load in admin product picker
• In the admin the "Category Type" (SourceType) dropdown was not properly set when creating a new category that wasn't a "Static" category--if the dropdown wasn't changed the category might not have been properly setup
• Adding promo code on cart page does not update order discounts until page is reloaded
• Editing placed and partially or completely shipped orders caused incorrect real-time shipping rates because LineItem.GetTotalWeight() only included non-shipped items
• Impersonating an admin account with an expired password redirects impersonator to expired password page
• Inventory was not reserved properly when using the web services API to place orders

• Buy X Get Y By Category offer was not applying the discount to the most expensive item that was equal to or less than the least expensive qualifying item when a qualifying item was the same as a promo item

• Some attributes (e.g. alt text and Facebook Open Graph page title) were being double encoded
• Search keyword query string was not being properly encoded with theme overriding
