As Flow mentioned, CS-Cart 4.15.1 — which, by my preliminary estimation, should release this June — will include EU-related improvements. The improvements themselves are in the works, but we're looking into the following things:
- Subtracting tax from a price that includes in when the customer is tax exempt.
- Ability to request consent for specific types of cookies, rather than "everything or nothing".
- Ability to show price per unit (milliliter/kilogram, etc.) next to product price.
- Ability to show energy efficiency labels (though a special type of product feature, most likely).
- Ability for vendors in Multi-Vendor to specify the information necessary for imprint by default, and show it in documents.

As for the issue that John mentioned (this one is not related to EU), there was an answer in Help Desk, but I can go in a little more detail about how or why it happened.
The setting originally existed for options (and therefore, for option combinations, before variations were even a thing). It still exists and works for options. We may remove the [Deprecated] part, because options still need this functionality.
It used to work for product variations before version 4.10.1 as well, because they were based on product options.
Starting with version 4.10.1, product variations are based on product features. This has allowed us to significantly improve variations: add filtering, simplify import, and allow you set prices on variations directly, not through option modifiers. That functionality was very requested back in the day, on the forum and through Help Desk alike.
But because new variations aren't based on options, the old setting (called "Disregard product options when calculating quantity discount") no longer applies to variations. It has been that way since 2019, and this topic from a month ago was the first complaint I found. John also contacted us though Help Desk, so Customer Care did forward it to the developers for consideration.
We understand how it could be useful, so we'll look into the ability to let different variations contribute to the quantity eligible for discount. If we can, we'll add it in 4.15.1. But I can't guarantee it 100% just yet, because it will depend on technical complexity.

P.S. Also, John's post might have given the idea that CS-Cart and Simtech Development are the same company. So I just just have to clarify it and say that we're not. :) CS-Cart and Simtech Development are independent from each other.
- CS-Cart team develops CS-Cart and Multi-Vendor. That includes the current and future built-in add-ons. When you request something that is not there by default, we take note. But the idea is to solve the problem promplty, and we can not promise to implement everything requested as soon as possible. So, if there is an affordable third-party solution in our marketplace that can address the issue right now, we tell you about it. If there is no solution yet, we suggest a third-party developer.
- Simtech Development is a company that does custom work on CS-Cart and develops some of the third-party add-ons available in our marketplace.
So, the promise to consider it for future versions came from CS-Cart Customer Care, whereas the quote came from Simtech Development.
