Autocomplete for many areas around admin now support ID based search as well as their existing searches.

Ecommerce & Reporting

We now show example SPF records for you in the admin area > SMTP settings to help you get this sorted for your site. 
SPF is also becoming a requirement for delivering to many email providers such as Google/gmail so it's an important step for all sites to consider.

Admin login IP checks
When logging in we now verify the IP/location you're logging in from is one we've seen from you before. 
Edit Customer > Subscribe to Security Emails

Suspended admins are now immediately logged out.
Previously suspending another user would only affect them on log in, this has now been re-worked to immediately invalidate their session in the case that they are already logged in, letting you take action right away if an admin needs to be removed from your site.
