Fix Australia Post international rates (from 2.4.13).

Add Provider::EVENT_MODIFY_SHIPPING_METHODS.

Change product summary to limit to 20 variants for performance.

Improve project config storage for settings. Postie will now no longer save (some) settings for disabled providers.

Add Sendle shipping provider.

Add Interparcel shipping provider.

Add Royal Mail shipping provider.

Add PostNL shipping provider.

Add Colissimo shipping provider.

Add new 4D bin-packing algorithm to more accurately pack your boxes.

Add ability to define box dimensions and weights for each provider, so you can better split order items into boxes.

Add "Packing Method" setting for all providers.

Add "Pack items individually" packing method, allowing all line items and quantities to be boxes individually.

Add "Pack items into boxes" packing method, allowing provider-supplied boxes, or user-created ones.

Add "Pack items into a single box" packing method - a slightly improved version of the box-packing algorithm in pre 2.4.0. This ensures a non-breaking change to box-packing behaviour to date.

Add EVENT_BEFORE_PACK_ORDER and EVENT_AFTER_PACK_ORDER events to all providers, allowing modification of the box-packing logic.

Add "Restrict Shipping Methods" setting for all providers. This allows opt-out of restricting to certain shipping services, and always use whatever is returned by the provider. This is particularly beneficial for some providers where services can't always be determined.

Add weightUnit and dimensionUnit to each provider for consistent use with boxes. These should always be provided in grams.

Add supportsDynamicServices() to providers whose list of services isn’t statically defined.

Add getMaxPackageWeight() to providers, to define what their maximum package weight is.

Add support for all providers to use env variables in their settings.

Add API connection testing for all providers, allowing you to troubleshoot API credentials before getting to shipping.

Add supportsConnection(), checkConnection() and getIsConnected() methods to providers.

Add testing classes for addresses and packages. Can be freely used to fetch a range of different values for testing responses.

Postie now requires PHP 7.1+.

Multiple packages are now possible for Australia Post, DHL Express and TNT Australia. This not only improves a "too large to ship" response, but should provide more accurate pricing overall. Previously, Postie bundled all items in a single package, which would often go over maximum dimensions/weights.

Existing providers now use the "Pack items into a single box" box packing algorithm. This is essentially the same as previous versions to prevent a breaking change.

Tidied up the shipping methods table for providers.

Some internal cleanup with providers (may affect custom providers). Refer to the updated docs.

Provide field instructions for a number of provider settings.

Visually highlight provider API instructions.

Fix settings sidebar overflow in some cases.

Ensure the lowest amount is always used for Fedex amounts.

Fix UPS error for carts that have no shipping country selected.

Add special-case for completed orders, and fetching non-live-rate shipping methods. This allows the correct use of order.shippingMethod.name. Please note that calling this for completed orders will report all Postie-provided shipping method costs as 0. As such, use the shipping costs recorded on the order (order.totalShippingCost()).

Fix errors for console or queue requests.

Ensure we check for cached rates when manualFetchRates is turned on. Otherwise, the shipping method won't save on cart, or persist on page load.

Remove duplicate cakephp/utility composer package. (thanks @codebycliff).

Fix saving shipping method settings not working.

Fix logging error Call to undefined method setFileLogging().

Canada Post - Fix incorrect URL for live requests.
