Reviews version 2.1.11

Like with Software Licensing, our focus for this update of the Reviews extension was fixing minor issues that have lingered for some time.

We fixed six bugs in version 2.1.11. Those bugs were:

• Fix: Ensure custom code snippets cannot cause undefined index errors in the [downloads] shortcode

• Fix: Compare version and only show admin notification for upgrade with outdated versions.
• Fix: Verify that orders are complete or published before request review emails sent
• Fix: Remove unused variable $post_id in class review widget
• Fix: Use timestamp $now to ensure review request emails are being sent at correct time relative to store timezone.
