What are interesting in this released?
- To keep updating easy, VirtueMart team added many features of next major version 2.2 into this version 2.0.22 without breaking the APi. The next step for vm2.2 will be updating some extensions, caused by the changed API. It is in our interest that templates have a long lifetime.
- The VirtueMart project is now powered by Phpstorm, using this tool the code has been cleaned up again and some hash based caches improve the performance. Split language files reduce the consumed RAM noticeably. This means you can have more users parallel visiting your store.

AvaTax Calc:
- Validates and corrects the address - including ZIP code +4
