Well, this is another major release, because I made a lot of Schema changes and also added a ton of new features. Hopefully this will make it easier for everyone to customize the module to do EXACTLY what they need.

One of the major new changes is the ability to control which roles will be able to purchase or upgrade to certain memberships. This allows you to control which subscriptions show up on the registration screen, by making subscriptions available only to 'authenticated users'.

Another major new feature is the ability to control if and when a user account will be blocked and/or have their role removed. You can choose from Never, Upon Cancellation, or Upon End of Term. This allows you to customize the module to fit your site needs.

I also added the ability to store and show the Expiration Dates for subscriptions. This lets users see when their subscription expires, and in the future releases it will be used to make sure that no subscription stays active longer than it should (will require cron to be properly set up).

Last but certainly not least, I have provided integration with the 'User Types' module, which when used in conjunction with this module provides a powerful way to create custom membership registration screens, with the ability to set different profile fields and show different subscriptions for purchase depending on the user type. To download User Types and check out how it works (recommended), go here: http://drupal.org/project/user_types . Thanks to Dennis Loh for requesting this functionality.

Here are a few screenshots illustrating the new features:
