The Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council (PCI SSC, or simply PCI) is enforcing a deadline for the transition to TLS 1.2.
All payment gateways, including Authorize.Net and PayPal, will require TLS 1.2. In turn, your site must support TLS 1.2 or you will be unable to process credit cards.
Other services, such as UPS, are also enforcing this requirement. If you recently experienced problems with UPS real-time rates on your store, this is likely the reason.

Installation InstructionsGo to the Downloads section of your store account and download "BV Commerce 2013 - hotfix #1".

During beta testing we upgraded a production site to 2013 beta 2. This site, however, was running on IIS 6. Until this upgrade we had not tested IIS 6, though for 2013 we specifically chosen to support ASP.NET 4.0, rather than 4.5, so it would still be compatible. Surprisingly it worked perfectly with no Web.config or IIS changes (other than changing the app pool to .NET 4).
However, we did notice one issue. On the first request to the site homepage (new session), the URL shown in the browser ha...
