Will the next release announcement will be in this thread, or perhaps just in the "General Discussion" as a new thread?

I love that there is a product type, which can be set for shipping limitations, download, oversize and more.

The template management through the admin interface is also really enticing, doing this stuff in Cre Loaded, many of the template customizing tasks either require stylesheet editing or main_page.tpl.php editing, which can really slow down the development process. It's nice to see it all in one screen through one interface

Should I give my evaluation feedback here?

We don't have all of the product type stuff tied in yet,

As far as the template design stuff we were holding off for a bit while we got the rest of the template code changes done. Hopefully by the time we hit .6 that will be in place.

In case you look for a main_page.tpl.php  it is now called layout.php

I downloaded the previous release but never installed it. I am downloading 0.52 and will install it tonight so i can check it out.


Is that the same maestro from CRE? What... no cussing??

Michael,

Thanks - I'm looking forward to your feedback.  Yes - that is the same Maestro. Hey, he generally does a lot more discussing than cussing...

Either here or via the issue tracker, links to which are in the documentation now.  Feel free to establish new topics, just use the version number in the title.

We'll be adding post rating features as soon as we find time, so having the topics separated should  help the community to vote on which way to go with certain features.

Some notes:

You may note that .52 is large then .51, this difference is that imanger is present where it is not in .051.
Imanger is the same as ibrowser, but there is image manipulation stuff present. Imanager is not fully working yet., as there is one bug in it where the image name is not yet passed back to tiny mce.

Another note: The CMS is not fully working yet,  The sub parts such as article, faq, pages, and download are pretty much there. But the main manger is a in progress work, There is also some catalog display stuff for the CMS that that has been worked on.

Template stuff: there is a number of planned features in the design area that are kind of stubbed in in the menu. That is to say there are entries and a page to go to but they are not working yet. Once we get to beta level they will be.

Some work has been done on draft documentation, on how things work. Mostly new and change items in the cart is what has been targeted.

During the install there is a requirement for php 5.2.X,  but the cat can run on php 4 at the moment. you can override this check by editing catalog/install/templates/pages/install_2.php around line 45. you can change the 5.2 to the version you are using. Once the classes get change to php 5 style classes you won't be able to run with php 4.
