Upgrade Notes

ECommerce

All Master pages require a ScriptManager control (see Alpha.Master as an example)
The StaticCategory control has been removed...convert to the StaticCategory property on the Page directive
Merchandise has become Categories19
Merchandise2 has become Categories20
BillTo.aspx changed significantly
Any Pages that uses Default as the Layout needs to have the layout changed to another layout (Home1, Home2, or any custom layout). Otherwise the site will go into an infinite loop on startup.
Due to changes in the handling of Sales Tax, any taxable Customer that is in a taxable Country / State | Province will need to have its' Tax Code / Schedule updated to the correct Tax Code / Schedule. Previous versions defaulted new Customers to a non taxable Tax Code / Schedule...these Customers will need to be updated.
Handling of showing Logged In / Logged out has been changed on /UserControls/uc_Login.ascx...review stock uc_Login for changes.
