5.0.2

• Added new action seamless_donations_tab_settings_before_payments which runs just before seamless_donations_tab_settings_before_paypal.

• Deprecated the following admin filters: seamless_donations_donor_header_style and seamless_donations_donation_header_style. This is now formatted in adminstyles.css
• Changed how admin validation filters are called. Before, the filter took three parameters. Now, it’s only passed one, the $POST. You can process admin form validations for any button pressed in the Seamless Donations admin UI. The filter is validate_page_slug[page_slug_name]. For example, if a page’s slug is seamless_donations_tab_thanks, it calls the filter validate_page_slug_seamless_donations_tab_thanks.
• Changed the naming convention for all admin callbacks. Prior to 5.0, admin pages were previously of the form seamless_donations_admin_[name] and, as of 5.0, are now of the form seamless_donations_tab_[name]. Therefore any callback that would have used the slug seamless_donations_admin_[name] must now use the slug seamless_donations_tab_[name].
• Fixed issue in Basic Widget Pack where a crash was caused when deactivating Seamless Donations itself. Other Seamless Donations add-ons did not have this problem.
