In May of 2011 the USPS, United States Postal Service, will be retiring older versions of their rate API.  This means that if you are using any USPS rate features in PDshop, you will need to download and install an update or upgrade to a version that supports their RateV4 and IntlRateV2 APIs.

How does this affect my website?
If you are not using USPS real-time rates with PDshop, no action is required.  If you are using USPS real-time rates, you will need to make sure your copy of PDshop (or the USPS Add-On) is up to date.
