Classified 1.2.0 is on the store. Most of it comes out of a detailed audit by BladeForums, and two of the fixes are the kind I would install even on a quiet board.
Per category permissions are now actually enforced
They shipped in 1.1.0. They could be set, they were stored, they were cached correctly, and outside the posting form nothing ever read them. A category restricted to one group still showed up in browsing, in search results, on seller profiles, through a direct link, and its photos stayed reachable. They now hold in every one of those places, and on favourites, widgets, alerts and saved search notifications as well.
A board that never set a category permission sees no change at all.
A listing type that is two things at once now needs both permissions
Wanted to buy or trade was authorised by the wanted permission alone, and for sale or trade by the sale permission alone. A member who had only ever been given one of the two could still post the half they were not entitled to.
Every printed figure counts only what the reader can reach
The marketplace headline, the All count in the sidebar, the number on a seller card, the featured row. A headline that counts what you cannot open is not a rounding error: it advertises the existence of the private section.
The euro is no longer assumed
It was hard coded in eight places, so a board configured for dollars still met euros in the posting form and in its summaries. There is now one setting, Default listing currency, and one place in the code that answers the question. Members still pick per listing, and this is separate from the featured listing currency, which is about paying for placement rather than trading.
Also in this release
Updating
Admin CP, Add-ons, Install/upgrade from archive. Settings and data survive. If your classifieds are restricted to a group in any way, this is the update to install first.
Every change, typed and dated: the changelog

Also in this release
- Sub categories, so a marketplace can have a structure rather than a long flat list.
- Custom fields that can be shared across categories instead of being rebuilt in each one.
- A permission copier, to apply one category's setup to the others without doing it by hand.
- A transaction-only option for feedback, and sold prices that stay blank when the sale price was never recorded, rather than printing what the seller hoped for.
