From VM 2.0.2 To 2.0.4

If you use another template then the default one provided, please adapt it to those changes :

1) The calls for creating the prices have been changed
The display:

$prow->subtotal_tax_amount

has been changed to

$this->currencyDisplay->createPriceDiv('taxAmount','', $this->cart->pricesUnformatted[$pkey],false,false,$prow->quantity)

The reason for this change is that the prices are not stored anylonger in the cart to keep the session clean, so that more products can be added to the cart.
The file affected by these change is :
- all price layouts in the cart
=> /components/com_virtuemart/views/cart/tmpl/default_pricelist.php

2) The function priceDisplay has changed

Before:

echo $this->currency->priceDisplay( $item->product_basePriceWithTax)

Now:

echo  $this->currency->priceDisplay( $item->product_basePriceWithTax ,0, $qtt)

Files affected are:

=> /components/com_virtuemart/views/invoice/tmpl/invoice_items.php
=> /components/com_virtuemart/views/invoice/tmpl/mail_html_pricelist.php
=> /components/com_virtuemart/views/invoice/tmpl/mail_html_pricelist.php

3) display of the single items in the cart, mails, invoice and orders
Furthermore we changed the display of the single items in the cart, mails, invoice and orders.
When you used overwrites consider to start with the new layout and add your changes again,
it may be faster and cleaner.
