== Changelog ==

= 2.7.0.8 =

### Fixes:
- Synced `formattedPrice()` across both `app.js` and `app.min.js` — added second currency support, better null/NaN handling, and always 2 decimal places on all prices. Fixes sites where minification plugins may load `app.min.js` instead of `app.js`.

= 2.7.0.7 =

### Fixes:
- All prices now display with 2 decimal places (e.g. $10.00 instead of $10) via `formattedPrice()` using `toLocaleString` with `minimumFractionDigits: 2`.

= 2.7.0.6 =

### Fixes:
- Added missing `estimatedPrice`, `content`, and `isShop` template variables to widget and shortcode `lot-content-template` calls, preventing potential ReferenceErrors on catalogue pages with ended auctions or shop items.

= 2.7.0.5 =

### Fixes:
- Fixed Stripe payment form not visible in Add Payment Method modal — `#stripePaymentElement` had `hidden` class that was never removed. Now unhides form on Stripe `ready` event and re-hides on modal close.

= 2.7.0.4 =

### Fixes:
- Fixed `bidspiritApi.getAuctionSettingsData is not a function` error in getFullPriceInfo — use local auctionSettingsData variable instead of non-existent API method.

= 2.7.0.3 =

### Fixes:
- Fixed `fullPriceInfo is not defined` ReferenceError that prevented bid confirmation modal from opening on single lot pages and catalogue pages.
- Added missing `getFullPriceInfo()`, `getCommissonInfoForPrice()`, and `roundToCents()` functions ported from upstream.
- All three bid submission paths (submitBid, submitBidCatalog, submitBidCatalog3) now correctly pass fullPriceInfo to the modal-bid-template.

= 2.7.0.0 =
