5.2.7-5.2.9: I will not even try to squeeze all changes into the title!=)
 

Seriously, there are so many important and interesting updates: Shipping and Payment markups, 8 new payment gateway integrations, custom order statuses, integration with Pitney Bowes, "Operate as this user", Back-in-stock notifications, geolocation, product tags and other changes.

A major update of Multivendor: PayPal Adaptive Payments ( send payments directly to providers!), provider commissions, modes of warehouse/vendors as separate shops...

I did my best to describe it all shortly, yet in a comprehensive way in X-Cart blog:
http://blog.x-cart.com/5-2-7-released.html

How do you like it?

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.

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

Some new nice features in this release.
By the way although my.x-cart.com shows for days now there is new version coming I have nothing in my dev store and resources page for 5.2.7. So there is some sort of time discrepancies (and yes I have the option developer checked in admin).

Also about the admin directory change - you should make it clear and discourage the use of name which suggests "admin" or not to have it in the robots.txt. robots.txt file is public and can be seen by anyone - example - http://www.x-cart.com/robots.txt

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

Some welcome additions! also was refreshing to see the quarterly upgrades going forward. well done team

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

Is there a place where we can see all the bug changes/fixes for this new version?

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

http://kb.x-cart.com/display/XDD/5.2.6+-+22+Jul+2015

The new one will show up when officially released I guess

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

It all showed up today

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

So this is what happened with upgrading from 5.2.6 to 5.2.7.

On step 13 running post rebuilt processes - fatal error at


The file mentioned tries to run foreach loop without checking if the variable is not empty causing the error. Putting an if statement in there fixes the error and the upgrade continues.

After all is done going to site front renders "The requested page could not be found." on any page request from the top horizontal menu. The reason being all links there are missing the "cart.php" portion. I am not sure if these links were like this before the upgrade but I know they worked. Keep in mind this is stock XC and stock XC modules. Only few of my modules are installed there but they have nothing to do with menus or links.

Forcing cache rebuilt does not fix the menu problem. So basically "www.domain.com" does not work - it has to be "www.domain.com/cart.php". This must be a bug.
Ok this turned out to be related to AllowOverride directive so now it is fixed.
So this server side directive must be set to all no matter if clean urls are in use or not.

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

Enabling a module, any module, results in

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class Includes\Utils\AUtils in /var/www/xc5/xcart52x/var/run/classes/core.php on line 49

at step 13 of the rebuilt process. Cannot continue until file is deleted.

Not sure if this is due to the issue from my previous post or it is a bug in the upgrade

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

Hi Steve!

We appreciate your testing the upgrade procedure from your side. That's the reason why developer wave exists =)
The issue you reported has been confirmed, and we fixed a bug in the upgrade hook, so the users in the merchant wave should not face it.

In case of your particular store the recommendation is as follows: please find file etc/config.php and set the compress_php_core variable to OFF.


Sorry for inconvenience. It was a previous test wave, an internal one, when our own engineers from support, sales, dev teams upgrade their test stores, before we start the next wave and open it to the external developers. Next time we will take into account that it's seen from outside.

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

Thank you Ksenia

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?

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

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.

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

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

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

Re: 5.2.7-5.2.8: I will not even try to squeeze all changes into the title!=)
 

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.

Re: 5.2.7-5.2.8: I will not even try to squeeze all changes into the title!=)
 

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.

Re: 5.2.7-5.2.8: I will not even try to squeeze all changes into the title!=)
 

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.

Re: 5.2.7-5.2.9: I will not even try to squeeze all changes into the title!=)
 

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.

Re: 5.2.7-5.2.9: I will not even try to squeeze all changes into the title!=)
 

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

Re: 5.2.7-5.2.9: I will not even try to squeeze all changes into the title!=)
 

The update is not working, on either of my sites.

It shows the updates are available, go to updates, click continue:

And then it locks up / times out.

Plenty of these for each module and core show in the log file:

It never makes it to the update confirmation screen asking to make sure I've backed up the site.

Re: 5.2.7-5.2.9: I will not even try to squeeze all changes into the title!=)
 

I'm worried about moving a live store to this with the recent issues

Re: 5.2.7-5.2.9: I will not even try to squeeze all changes into the title!=)
 

I tried to take a live store from 5.2.6 > 5.2.7 and it was a complete disaster so I think your feelings are well founded. Better to wait...

Re: 5.2.7-5.2.9: I will not even try to squeeze all changes into the title!=)
 

5.2.7 was in developer wave. 5.2.9 is in the merchant wave. This is the difference.


That's why we implemented the waves. It helps us to find critical issues without forcing live stores to update. So, you can wait, it is up to you.


It seems that we had a lot of requests to marketplace. Please, try again. Also, I would recommend to review the installed modules and remove unused to minify package size to downloading.

Re: 5.2.7-5.2.9: I will not even try to squeeze all changes into the title!=)
 

First of all please double check the server meets all the requirements:

* X-Cart 5 - Server requirements

Specifically, make sure the memory and timeout limits are set properly:

* X-Cart 5 - Setting time limit of your server

Also, please check your web-server error log, to find out if there are any errors related to the X-Cart upgrade.

If the issue still persists, please create a support ticket in your personal Helpdesk area, so our support engineers could look into the issue.

Thank you,
Sergey

Re: 5.2.7-5.2.9: I will not even try to squeeze all changes into the title!=)
 

5.2.6 - 5.2.9 upgraded today without any issues

Re: 5.2.7-5.2.9: I will not even try to squeeze all changes into the title!=)
 

I wasn't aware of the "waves" thing when I tried to upgrade on my own a live 5.2.6 store to 5.2.7 and it was a disaster. Because of that, I decided to pay X-Cart to do it for me this time. No problems now, money is coming in already, whew!

Re: 5.2.7-5.2.9: I will not even try to squeeze all changes into the title!=)
 

I am having an issue in Firefox all the catalog pages come up with Error there is a problem with the site. But in Safari it all works okay.

Re: 5.2.7-5.2.9: I will not even try to squeeze all changes into the title!=)
 

Please provide us with access to your web-site (FTP or SSH credentials), via your personal Helpdesk area, I will look into this issue.

Thank you,
Sergey

Re: 5.2.7-5.2.9: I will not even try to squeeze all changes into the title!=)
 

thank you sergey it was fixed and working again, there is some bug fix that will be for 5.2.10

Re: 5.2.7-5.2.9: I will not even try to squeeze all changes into the title!=)
 

I was glad to help you, the bug is confirmed and has been fixed for version 5.2.10 (https://bt.x-cart.com/view.php?id=45257).

Re: 5.2.7-5.2.9: I will not even try to squeeze all changes into the title!=)
 

I've got the latest version of Firefox, I'm not seeing any category errors at all in 5.2.9. Will there be a patch?

Re: 5.2.7-5.2.9: I will not even try to squeeze all changes into the title!=)
 

I don't think it was Firefox specific, it was all browsers, it was I think because the Safari I was logged in on the laptop.

Re: 5.2.7-5.2.9: I will not even try to squeeze all changes into the title!=)
 

Getting this error and no shipping methods are showing up. It is happening on two of our stores.

Re: 5.2.7-5.2.9: I will not even try to squeeze all changes into the title!=)
 

Hello,

I'm trying to upgrade from 5.2.6 to 5.2.9 and when the upgrade begins I get the following error:

-------------
Installing updates, please wait...
Error
ERROR: "0" (code N/A)

An exception occurred while executing 'UPDATE xc_modules SET installed = ?, fromMarketplace = ? WHERE moduleID = ?' with params [1, 0, 1024]: SQLSTATE[23000]: Integrity constraint violation: 1062 Duplicate entry 'XC-Add2CartPopup-5.2-6-0' for key 'moduleVersion'
------------

This is my 10th try to upgrade without success. Now portions of my Admin back office are scrambled. and other admin pages work fine.

My hosting company is "TSS" X-Cart friendly.

Any advice on what I'm doing wrong or how to fix it would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Kevin

X-cart Version 5.2.6

Re: 5.2.7-5.2.9: I will not even try to squeeze all changes into the title!=)
 

Please check Store setup >> Cart & checkout >> Default customer address section, make sure the State field is not empty, or just try to re-set a new value for the State field - it should help to fix the error.

Re: 5.2.7-5.2.9: I will not even try to squeeze all changes into the title!=)
 

Not bad at all. I wonder how long the list will be for 5.2.10 so we can compare between versions...

Re: 5.2.7-5.2.9: I will not even try to squeeze all changes into the title!=)
 

I am getting orders coming through where it says "Oops something went wrong", but the payment is taken from PayPal. So the customer is ordering again and again. One customer ordered 3 times and another twice. So it took 5 payments and they were given error messages but the payment went through. This release is causing me some problems. :( could this be related to this bug? https://bt.x-cart.com/view.php?id=45257

I need this fixed ASAP, because the last customer has gone to another shop now and wants a refund as the order said it didn't go through, so I have lost the customer and the order went out and now I have to refund it. X-cart should be refunding this.

Edit: I am going to disable PayPal checkout due to the bugs I am having with it until they are fixed.

Re: 5.2.7-5.2.9: I will not even try to squeeze all changes into the title!=)
 

Thank you for the bug report created (https://bt.x-cart.com/view.php?id=45304), our developers have already replied in that bug-report ticket. As for another bug, it believe it is not related to the problem with orders paid via PayPal.
