This is great, but it sends email when either billing or shipping addresses are changed. How can we restrict it only to shipping ?

Would also be good to show the timestamp of the changes. How to get the timestamp?

It seems like this plugin sends out the old address instead of the newly updated address. Anybody here knows how to fix it?

Works great. Thank you for this plugin.

After few days of using your script I have discovered some problems.

This script works only if the customer change the address from MyAccount page.
If customer change his address during checkout, email won't be sent.

As alfonsberger claimed that plugin sends out the old address, I can also confirm that this happened to me once, but it happened.

Ok I made some changes to this function which works for me. It gives the updated data and not the previous data. Hope it works for others as well.

`function patricks_get_formatted_shipping_address() {
global $woocommerce;

// get the data from the profile after it's set by the customer save
$curr_user      = wp_get_current_user();
$user_id        = $curr_user->ID;
//$woocommerce->customer->set_default_data();

//Shipping Address
$address .= get_user_meta( $user_id, 'shipping_address_1', true );//$woocommerce->customer->get_shipping_address();
$address .= "\n";
if(!empty(get_user_meta( $user_id, 'shipping_address_2', true ))){
	$address .= get_user_meta( $user_id, 'shipping_address_2', true );//$woocommerce->customer->get_shipping_address_2();
	$address .= "\n";
};	
$address .= get_user_meta( $user_id, 'shipping_city', true );//$woocommerce->customer->get_shipping_city();
$address .= " ";
$address .= get_user_meta( $user_id, 'shipping_state', true );//$woocommerce->customer->get_shipping_state();
$address .= ", ";
$address .= get_user_meta( $user_id, 'shipping_postcode', true );//$woocommerce->customer->get_shipping_postcode();
$address .= "\n";
$address .= get_user_meta( $user_id, 'shipping_country', true );//$woocommerce->customer->get_shipping_country();

return $address;

}`

Thanks @BFTrick for the idea and especially thanks to @PegWeb who has solved the problem that it was sending the old data instead of the new one.
For me it works correct like this

I added this in order to evaluate if there is made any changes - feel free to copy

/*** add hidden field to frontend edit billing address form */
function my_custom_woocommerce_before_edit_address_form_billing(){
echo '';
}
add_action( 'woocommerce_before_edit_address_form_billing', 'my_custom_woocommerce_before_edit_address_form_billing' );

and then you can simply replace

if ( empty ( $email ) ) {
return;
}

with

if ( empty ( $email ) || $shipping_address == $_POST['$old_shipping_address'] ) {
return;
}

not tested
