WooCommerce Address Book version 2.0 is a major update with new functionality and several minor bug fixes. With this update, there is now support for both Billing and Shipping address books. Both are enabled by default, but there is a new setting to enable or disable each address book. After updating, be sure to review these settings.

This release also includes new settings for checkout behavior. You can now choose whether to have the default address as the Primary Address or “Add New Address”. You can also choose whether or not to display the address Nickname field during checkout. 

Users now have a confirmation popup when trying to delete an address from the address book, and we’ve fixed the checkbox to change address that malfunctioned with the WooCommerce Subscriptions plugin. We’ve also improved backwards compatibility with prior versions and compatibility with the Conditional Checkout Fields for WooCommerce plugin.

There is also now support for PHP 8 and jQuery 3 (thanks to Hinyka for that, along with several other fixes – see the pull request for details).
