UI Improvements

Added a default option to the State dropdown on address editors, so that users are forced to make a valid selection
Improved the display of the address area of checkout when only one address is needed
Fixed an issue where shipping method icons could not be removed from shipping methods on the checkout page
Added support for newer Discover card number ranges in the credit card formatter and validators
The address editor has been slimmed down and made easier for the majority of people to quickly fill out
The Place Order button is now at both the top and the bottom of the checkout page
Added configurable security seals, header labels, and icons to increase the "feel" of security during checkout
Additional information and a button to print the receipt have been added to the order confirmation page
Improved the validation enforcing the DisallowShippingToPOBoxes setting

Multi-variant XML packages that include dropdowns always show the variant dropdown as long as at least one variant is purchasable. This makes it clearer to the customer what exactly is being added to the cart. (Some customers may need to apply changes to store code to take advantage of this. See Note, below.)

New Features

Contact form emails can now be configured to go to a different address than new order notifications do
Store admins can now control the sort order of academic departments on the courselist builder page

Note: If variants do not display as expected (see last bullet in UI Improvements), on any product xml package based on product.TabbedUI.xml.config or product.VariantsInDropDown.xml.config, add the @PublishedOnly = 0 parameter to the dbo.aspdnsf_ProductInfo stored procedure call at the top of the xml package in the "sql" node.
