DragonByte Shop 6.1.0a4

Feature: Lottery
Change: Converted some database columns to JSON

Welcome to the fourth preview version of DragonByte Shop v6.1.0

Version 6.1.0 represents a complete re-write of the product, making it more deeply integrated with XenForo 2.1, improving performance, and making bugfixes easier.

Before we delve into the (rather staggering amount of) changes, let's get some things out of the way:

• This version requires XenForo 2.1.0. It will not install on XenForo 2.0.x.
  
  
• This version is flagged as "Alpha". It's the earliest possible preview version that contains the minimum feature set (items & inventories). It is missing the following features:
  • Trading
• The "User shops" feature and surrounding item management in the front-end has been permanently removed from the add-on and will not be making a return.
  
  
• If you are still running DragonByte Credits v5.0.x, you need to disable both DragonByte Credits and DragonByte Shop before upgrading both of them to the latest versions. Not doing so will cause your site to crash until you edit the config file to disable addons from running.
  
  
• It is recommended you upgrade both this and DragonByte Credits via the new "Install from archive" feature in XenForo 2.1.0.
  
  
• Please see this post: #213 for further upgrade notes.

With that out of the way, on to the changes!

Lottery: The Lottery feature has been re-added, simplifying its functionality from previous versions to make it easier to understand for users. Any given lottery's draw history is now visible on the lottery information page in a paginated list. Furthermore, the interface for purchasing lottery tickets has been updated to use checkboxes for selecting numbers rather than drop-downs.

In addition, various bugs have been resolved and made the occasional behind-the-scenes change.
