Re: 5.2.7: I will not even try to squeeze all changes into the title!=)
 

What "wave" are we on now? Is it safe to update to 5.2.7 if you have a live store at this time?

Hi Kevin,

Right now it's still "developers".

By default the wave of all X-Cart stores is set to "merchant", unless you changed it earlier. Will you please go to System Settings -> Environment, and scroll the page down till you see section "Upgrade options", and check? There's a selector of the wave:


In case of "merchant" selected, you will not see the notifications about upgrades in your store, if they're still being tested by developers.

We have downloaded the changelog for the most recent version, please find it here (yes, Steve was right about the link ;)

UPDATE 22.10.2015: Release of v 5.2.8
During the testing stage of v.5.2.7 (developer wave) we discovered a critical bug and took decision to release v.5.2.8 with the fix aboard. There are no changes from the functionality point of view. It also starts from a developer wave, so the upgrade will NOT be available for the production stores before we make sure it's stable for live stores. After that, once the upgrade wave is switched to "Merchants", you will see a notice in the admin backend about the availability of the updates for your store.

s does it go from 5.2.6-5.2.8 for merchant wave when its released?

You may want to look at the subscriptions module as well. Today I realized we lost all of the pricing and values in all of our subscription products after the upgrade when a customer placed a subscription order for $0 a month. Rather than making a ticket it will probably be easier to re-enter the data.

Hi Richard,


Thank you for your question.
1)within a single major branch ( 5.1x, 5.2.x) there always exist a direct upgrade to the latest version within this brunch. Hence, if you store is running v.5.2.6, you will be able to upgrade to v.5.2.8 directly.

2)and though you haven't asked,I'll answer it too =) For those who run v.5.2.7 (just installed a fresh copy or upgraded within a developer wave): the upgrade to v.5.2.8 will also be available.

I did install the 5.2.8 yesterday over 5.2.7 and there were no issues with the installation itself or the store running after that.

Hi everyone.

Bad news: we found another bug, so the merchant wave is delayed.
Good news: the live stores are safe and sound;)

The "wave" approach pays off. So, it's a developer wave of v5.2.9 now, and I hope it will be followed by a merchant wave of 5.2.9, not by a dev wave of 5.2.10!

We're sorry for the inconvenience caused.

Updates to v.5.2.9 are now available: Merchant wave has started!
