4.0.0 (2014/02/15)

THIS IS A MAJOR UPDATE – PLEASE MAKE SOME TESTS ON YOUR DEVELOPMENT AND TEST SITES BEFORE UPGRADING YOUR LIVE WEBSITE

• Completely changed the way information is displayed in the frontend. Now the plugin uses a system of pages similar to the one used by WooCommerce for example.
  This has allowed greater possibilities for customization (Widget areas, more templates to override, …)
• The customer area main navigation menu now is a WordPress menu that can be customized just like any other WordPress menu (from the admin page: “Appearance” > “Menus”)
• Restructured the options page. It now has less tabs and should group options in a more logical way. If you have commercial add-ons, you may need to enter their
  license key again. These are available by logging-in with your credentials at https://foobar.studio/shop/your-account/
• Added category column in the admin page for private files and private pages (A pending feature request from several users)
• Refactored a lot of code to make the plugin ligher and more efficient. Should also reduce the amount of duplicated code and thus the potential hidden bugs.
• Add possibility to include a function file in your Customer Area theme (See included frontend theme: default-v4). Works like WordPress’ functions.php file for themes
  except that this file should be located in your Customer Area theme folder (not the WordPress theme’s folder) and it should be named ‘cuar-functions.php’
