MAS_Paypal 0.2.5 is a documentation and Module Manager polish release for the PayPal utilities module for CMS Made Simple. Payment behaviour, IPN handling, and MAS_Cart return processing are unchanged.


What's new in 0.2.5


Module Manager About now includes the same change history as GetChangeLog(), rendered from CHANGELOG.md.

About intro copy is generic and no longer tied to a specific host name.

No database schema changes and no PayPal account settings migration required.



Upgrade notes


Install or upload the release, then run Upgrade in Module Manager if prompted.

Existing business email, sandbox mode, IPN listener, button defaults, and MAS_Cart return HMAC continue to work unchanged.

Compatible with CMSMS 2.2.22+ and PHP 7.4+ (PHP 8.x recommended).
