Improvements
Disable Correspondence Section from Bookeasy Member Consoles

Bug Fixes
Guest Names Unable to Include Apostrophe
Due to Bookeasy's strict security measures, special characters such as apostrophes resulted in an Unexpected Error. As guest names can sometimes include apostrophes, such as O'Connor, Bookeasy have since ensured that apostrophes are permitted.
PayPal Producing Errors
Payments made via PayPal through Bookeasy's booking gadgets are now successfully processed as expected.
