Rails - Nov 2007 - Substruct 0.95 RELEASED - E-commerce, CMS engine, etc...

I''ve just finished tagging a new release of Substruct, the open-source
Ruby
on Rails e-commerce and cms engine.

For the particulars, visit:
 http://sublog.subimage.com/articles/2007/11/17/substruct-0-95

There are tons of new features and an update UI. If you haven''t checked
it
out recently, now is the time.

Version 1.0 should be out before year''s end – including an easier way
to
install for n00bz to rails, amongst other things. I''m really bad with
version numbers – this thing has been out about two years now and I still
haven''t felt comfortable calling it 1.0 :)

The release is available at:

substruct – for SVN auth credentials)*

Version 0.95

MAJOR UPGRADE...lots of new features. Do some thorough testing before you
roll this out if you''re upgrading.

Upgrade steps:
    1. script/generate plugin_migration
    2. rake db:migrate
    3. You should diff your application.rb file with application.rb.example
       in config_stubs. New before_filters have been added.

    -- Item quantities decremented after a successful order
    - Live shipping rate calculation RIPPED out, replaced with shipping
      rate table and new preferences UI.
    -- FedEx is a bitch to set up for most people, and this can achieve the
same
       damn thing.
