Upgrade from version 4.0 to 4.1 - 11 September 2026
--------------------------------------------------

1. Back up your store files and database.
2. Upload and replace all addon files from "new_files", preserving customizations.
   Use your actual admin folder name and update the addon overrides in your active
   template if it is not "override". Include all supplied language files.
3. Keep your installed modules and settings. Version 4.1 requires no database
   migration or module reinstallation when upgrading from version 4.0.
4. Check zero-balance display, partial and full points payments, review rewards,
   and admin point confirmation. See install_manual.txt for the 4.1 changelog.

Existing module "Current Version" settings are stored in the database and may
retain the previous value after a file-only update; this does not prevent the
4.1 code from running. Do not reinstall modules solely to refresh that label.
