nBill 1.2.9 is now available. This is mainly a collection of bug fixes, but there are a couple of enhancements. In most cases, you can upgrade by clicking the upgrade link that will appear next time you access nBill administrator, but if your server configuration will not allow automatic upgrade, you will need to upgrade manually as described here:
http://www.nbill.co.uk/documentation/index.php?page=upgrade-from-a-previous-version.htmlThere is a new configuration option (available on the 'display options' page) to specify whether or not to include the 'option' parameter in the URL for form submissions. If you have found it necessary to hack the front-end files to remove the option parameter, as described
here, you do not need to worry about that any more (no need to re-instate the hack) - you can just set the new display option to 'no'.
If you are using the user subscription plugin (mambot), and have the expiry redirect set to 'default' on your user subscription product record, when the user tries to login after their subscription has expired, if possible, they will now be shown a link which will enable them to renew immediately (it is probably still a good idea to use a reminder as well). Please note: In order to use this feature, you will need to upgrade (uninstall and re-install) the user subscription plugin (available at the end of this page:
http://www.nbill.co.uk/component/option,com_docman/Itemid,10/task,cat_view/gid,15/).
Here is the full change log (also available in /administrator/components/com_netinvoice/CHANGELOG.PHP):

- Added a new display option to allow configuration of form submissions where template or SEF component requires the option parameter to be used (or not)
