All 2.7.1 Updates

• BUG FIX: Fixed issue on some MySQL setups that would throw an error about the primary key in the pmpro_memberships_pages and pmpro_memberships_categories tables.

All 2.7 Updates

• FEATURE: Added a “Spam Protection” option to the advanced settings page. When used, IP addresses are blocked from checkout if there are more than 10 failsures within 15 minutes.
• ENHANCEMENT: Checkouts with Stripe will now reuse Stripe Products and Prices.

• ENHANCEMENT: Include reCAPTCHA on Billing Page form.
• ENHANCEMENT: Membership pages URLs are now included in the Site Health Information.
