For those of you who are interested in what to expect from the next JShop Server update, here is a list of new features and changes. This is not exhaustive and we will add to this list here on the forums before the release. Please note that we are not accepting any new feature requests for inclusion in this update.

Account type assignment rules at customer account creation allow you to automatically specify which account type to give a customer.
New granular controls over user access to admin system.
Addition of supplier cost.
Re-designed email template system allowing multiple email templates sent to different places on triggers, instead of one per trigger.
Many new payment gateways
Large amount of optimization work done on database queries.
New caching of recommended products to greatly reduce mysql cost in creating these lists.
Ability to add additional fields to sections in much the same way as with products.
Quickbooks export
Labels support in email templates and in receipt.html template
Changes to order status system, allowing the creation of custom order status and attachment of email templates to these status changes
New reports, including stock level report
Time zone offset setting now in admin system for servers operating on different time zones
Built-in carts auto-prune facility
Built-in scheduled database optimize facility
Tax enhancements
Ability to set an order status to something other than NEW depending on the payment method.
Display shipping charges on the cart page.
Sorting facilities available for products within sections on the front of the store
XHTML complicance in all JShop Server produced HTML and JavaScript
Send to a friend facility
"Invisible" extra product fields allow you to add extra product fields that are not for display in the store via. the usual extra fields loop on the product page. This allows you to setup extra information fields that you may not wish to show to the customer.
Built-in returns system.

We are now planning to release this new version in January, to allow time for some further optimization work and the addition of some other new features. Once this release is out we will be reverting to an update every 6 months.
