    I received this email and wonder if somethings will stop working or need to change anything:
    current version = 1.9.3RC10PRO


    Code:
    Dear xxxxx,
    
    There have been some recent changes to our Instant Payment 
    Notification (IPN) product.  Because you've previously used 
    IPN, we wanted to inform you that these changes will affect 
    both new and existing fields.
    
    -----------------------------
    1) New Fields
    -----------------------------
    
    The following two fields have been added to IPN:
    
    * payer_business_name - Applies to transactions in which the 
    buyer has registered a business name with PayPal. This field 
    contains the buyer's business name and can be useful when 
    shipping to the business address.
    
    * receiver_id - This is the unique account ID of the payment 
    recipient (i.e. the merchant). This is the same as the 
    recipient's referral ID and will be given in all transaction 
    posts.  3rd party developers could use this field to manage 
    licensing of their IPN-enabled software to one PayPal account.
    
    -----------------------------
    2) Changes to existing fields
    -----------------------------
    
    This December, we'll be making a minor change to the payer_status 
    field. Currently, payer_status returns one of the following 
    four values:
    
    * verified
    * intl_verified
    * unverified
    * intl_unverified
    
    Starting in December, payer_status will not differentiate between 
    International and Domestic verification status.  Therefore, the 
    only potential values for payer_status will be verified and 
    unverified.
    
    For further clarification, please refer to https://www.paypal.com, 
    or the IPN Manual (https://www.paypal.com/en_US/pdf/ipn.pdf).
    
    We look forward to bringing you continued support and expansion 
    of IPN.  
    
    Sincerely, 
    
    The PayPal IPN Team
