Releases for Ubercart

Finally, a 1.0 release. As of right now, there are no known issues except for reports of trouble with Postgres (which is not officially supported). We're excited that the day has finally arrived and are looking forward to moving on to Drupal 6 and improvements beyond.

Refer to our news announcement for more information.

This version brings with it many bug fixes and UI improvements reported and/or patched by community users and core developers since the April 23rd RC 4 release. It also contains a clean-up and simplification of the reporting features such that version information is now all that gets reported to Ubercart.org when enabled, and a full preview of the data sent is now shown.

A functional bug that has been fixed involves sweeping changes to credit card settings and processing. This means any site accepting credit card payments should update carefully, making sure to setup the Ubercart encryption and to ensure the new settings don't disrupt your current checkout process. If at all possible, you should demo the update on a development site before rolling the change into your production site so you are the most comfortable with the new settings.

The changes were made to address the fact that it was difficult for store owners in the past to ensure their checkout process was fully PCI compliant. As of this release, if you're accepting credit card payments through the Ubercart checkout form over HTTPS, you will be fully compliant and most secure with the default settings.

Read through this post to get the full scoop on the changes. I will be updating the documentation to reflect the changes as soon as possible.

RC 4 removes some old modules (manufacturer, Viaklix, and Wonderpay) that crept back in when the RC 3 was being packaged up.

This version fixes one "show-stopper" bug regarding the product module's implementation of hook_access(). The full list of changes includes:

• Fixed invalid type issue in uc_product_access().
• Improved suppression of UPS error messages.
• Fixed order total calculating in the payment checkout pane's Javascript.
• Fixed a bug in the order comment add query for Postgres.
• Fixed a bug regarding truncated encrypted CC numbers in checkout.

This release marks the first foray of Ubercart into release candidate territory. We're happy to report that the core has been stable for some time now, with the majority of commits over the last several weeks restricted to code clean-up, improved security, and nuanced bugfixes. New features in the form of some additional Workflow-ng integration and country import files made it in during the beta 7 as well.

Whereas previous releases looked back, noting what had improved or been altered since each prior release, this marks the turning point where we start to look forward. We're on the lookout now for those remaining bugs that turn up when a piece of software is tested in the variety of environments and uses that we simply can't predict. Let's nail down any remaining clean-up and bug fix issues so we can move on to the 1.0 release and beyond!

This release fixes one security issue. See SA-2008-023 - Ubercart - XSS for details.

This release includes a few minor fixes and one security fix for text based product attributes. Users who sell products with text based attributes should update to this version or correct their uc_attribute.module file per this forum thread. Please be aware that the line number may have changed on your version.

See SA-2008-020 - Ubercart - Cross site scripting for details.

Well, we were hoping to be in Release Candidate territory by now, but we're more committed to a solid core than we are to marching through development phases. There were too many "simple" fixes in this last beta to jump on up to rc1, so here's beta 6!

This release primarily fixes some niggling little bugs related to a few queries and maybe an install file that keep popping up in the forums even though they were fixed upon first report. C'est la vie.

Get it while it's hot. ; )

Ahh, beta 5 is here. It brings with it a host of improvements, including up to date PostgreSQL support, license compatible icons, a recurring payments framework, and much more. We've squashed all the outstanding bugs and issues we needed to fix before moving onto release candidates, so you can expect an even more solid Ubercore. As always, you should create backups before updating to the latest version, and you can grab this contrib to keep using the old icons.

Find more info in the news post at Ubercart.org.

Beta 4 fixes a critical installation bug for the attributes module along with a host of smaller resolved issues and code improvements. Those interested in helping translate or downloading a translation of Ubercart should check out the recent news post about Ubercart.org community member rak's translation server.

Let's keep those betas moving!

This beta release includes many bug fixes that may be tracked on our Bazaar log site. The default payment methods check, COD, and 'other' have been moved into their own module that will need to be enabled if your site is using them. Finally, credit card encryption has made it into core and could use some testing. For more information, check out the news post at Ubercart.org.

Bugs fixed, among others, may be seen scratched off the list in this thread. The bugs not on the list of most importance are the bugs in the roles and shipping systems that have been fixed but keep getting reported. ; )

Beta release of Ubercart... for more details, check out this news post at Ubercart.org.

Ubercart Alpha 8 brings many new core features to the table, including file downloads, user role promotions, and Workflow-ng integration. Other features have been enhanced or tweaked, and the usual stream of bugfixes have been applied. It feels like cheating to call this a minor release from Alpha 7e, but all these changes have made it in over the last few weeks. Plenty of credit goes to our newest active developer, Shawn, who was able to spring board off the efforts of community developers aymerick, CpILL, torgosPizza, and others.

For update instructions, view the News post at Ubercart.org.

For more details on updates, view the latest commit messages at http://bazaar.ubercart.org.

Alpha 7e is really a maintenance release fixing a few minor installation/update problems that popped up with the last release. We're pretty used to this happening now, but the alphabet has 26 letters so we've got plenty of room to screw up. Barring more unfortunate installation bugs, we are not planning any more minor release to Alpha 7 but will move on to Alpha 8 and beyond.

All translation templates have been updated, and missing ones were added.

This release also introduces the product features system which allows modules to add multiple, optional features to product nodes without cluttering the node edit form. Product features are summarized in a handy table and may be added or updated at will based on the features enabled by installed modules.

For more information on the product features system, check out the following thread:

http://www.ubercart.org/forum/announcements/972/product_features_system_...

Well, well, well... this should be the last minor release for Alpha 7. It includes a major overhaul to the order status system to provide configurable/custom order statuses for order administration. Other minor bugs have been fixed, including updating the product code to be based off of revision version IDs instead of just node IDs. Bugs related to the previous checkout pane API updates have also been squashed.

When updating, please remember to backup your files and database. Sites that use contributed modules that depend on the old order status API will see errors if they update to this latest version right away.

This update has been long in coming and was delayed a few weeks by the server crash and subsequent restoration. (Also, Ryan got married, honeymooned, and bought a house... all of which played a part in distracting him from the code!)

This release features many bug fixes that have popped up in the various systems. We've had the largest turn out of testers for this latest version and are really thankful for the community's effort in posting those last minute bug reports. Many new features have made it into this release, although there are still a few key things left on the Alpha 8 Battle Plans to move on to that version. Some of them are:

• Views integration in core.
• Directory structure reorganized - please see the notes here if updating.
• More theme functions and cleaner XHTML/CSS in the cart and checkout pages.
• Updated the Checkout Pane API to better integrate with Forms API and get rid of div/class clutter.
• Checkout updates to fix JS errors, add collapsing features, and improve address copying.
• Product and product kit updates, including kit discounts and add to cart form options.
• Tax system improvements to provide tax rules based on different product classes.
• Import/export systems for orders and CCK fields (plus JSimpleXML integration).
• PostgreSQL compatibility supplied by japerry.
• Improved shipping quotes, quote retrieval methods, and per country specifications.
• UPS order fulfillment and label printing.
• More country files.
• And more...

For more information, follow this thread in the Ubercart forums:

http://www.ubercart.org/forum/announcements/637/ubercart_alpha_7c_releas...

Bugfixes include:

• Product viewing permissions fixed.
• Catalog typos and bugs fixed.
• Display fix to PayPal Website Payments Standard in checkout.
• Minor fix for uc_googleanalytics PHP 5 compatibility.

Ubercart Alpha 7 has finally been released! For full details, you should check out the forum post here:

http://www.ubercart.org/forum/announcements/1297/alpha_7_released

It's really impossible to list off all that's changed since our last major version, but feel free to read about the goings on in our releases here or at the forums of Ubercart.org.

Of special notice to many store owners: Ubercart is now a certified PayPal solution for Website Payments Standard, Website Payments Pro, and PayPal Express Checkout. You can read more about it at http://www.ubercart.org/paypal if you're trying to figure out which service to use.

Thanks go out to the many folks who have been helping Ubercart get better and better. Be sure to check out all the live sites listed in our forums and the project page here at Drupal.org.

Ciao.

This third Alpha 6 release is jam packed with new features and screaming toward Alpha 7 with many items crossed off the to-do list...

• Expect to find a much easier to use administrative interface for most of the settings menus. (A few may still need to be converted.)
• E-mail notifications have been given a total overhaul and joined with the new addition of invoice templates for on site order viewing and e-mails.
• Furthermore, product classes have finally been made into their own content types, so you can now leverage the full might of any node altering or listing module in Drupal to individual types of products on your site... without ever having to code or enable a new module!
• The Authorize.net module has been revamped and work is underway on a suite of PayPal modules to be released with the Alpha 7. Get ready to start making money... ; )
• Oh... and a lot of those niggling little bugs have been killed outright. ^_^
• The release also includes new country files and my first go at including translation templates. These will certainly need to be updated in the very near future, so I'm really just looking for feedback to make sure I'm handling them right!

Many other fixes and features have been added. You can see what's been scratched off the list on our Alpha 7 Battle Plans or just browse the forums in general.

Special thanks to the guys at Ny Media for donating their time and development prowess to this release. You can check out one of their live Drupal + Ubercart sites at http://www.ametrine.no! We look forward to continued development with them and all the other active members of the forum who have been submitting patches, feature requests, and brainstorm posts this last month.

As always, when updating remember to run the update script at yoursite.com/update.php! Also, you should clear out the table cache_menu in your database. If you were using the old module authorizenet_gateway.module, you need to uninstall that and use the new uc_authorizenet.module instead. This new version also requires the Token module for templates and e-mail notifications. Please remember to backup your site before upgrading! It worked great in testing... but there are always exceptions. ; )

This minor release fixes a mistake in an install file and a menu hook that affect catalog browsing. Another bug fix or two may have gone in, too, thanks to the lightning fast testers in the community! Please refer to the Alpha 6 release notes or the announcement below for more information.

Ahh, Alpha 6 is out the door! It's taken the longest to achieve out of all the Alpha releases so far for good reason. Tons of new features have made it into the code, basically all the items checked off these lists:

http://www.ubercart.org/forum/development/620/alpha_6_battle_plans

We've also been tearing through the issue tracker cleaning up old issues and squashing bugs that pop up as more and more people adopt Ubercart for live sites. It's been encouraging to see other community members getting involved submitting bugfixes, more country files, and contributing lots of enthusiasm to a fun project!

Four live sites are out and more are in the works.

Check out the following thread to get the inside scoop on the next planned release:

This is an early release of Alpha 5 required for some installation fixes and better updates. Country import files have been given their first face lift as well. Read more about the release here:

http://www.ubercart.org/news/apr-10-2007/alpha_5_alive

Alpha 4 is out the door! It features many bug fixes and feature enhancements, including but not limited to the following:

• Improved user interfaces for taxes and attributes.
• Assign default attributes to product classes.
• Changed image support to use Imagefield + Image Cache.
• Country file importing for international support. (Thank you, contributors!)
• Address formatting for different countries.
• Probably a dozen other things I'm forgetting to mention...

This release is the first in a wave of bugfixes from what I dubbed the "bugfix blitz" of early alpha releases. Many thanks to all those who have been pointing out PHP/MySQL incompatibilities and suggesting improvements for internationalization. Expect a release to come early next week with improvements to the attributes and cart systems!

Wasn't anticipating a second release so soon, but there were a few .install files missing curly braces around table names. A couple other bugfixes have been applied to this code as well. Can't have everyone testing getting failed database creation!

The initial release of Übercart is being classified as an alpha release. There are definite plans for improvement on this code, but the basic systems are in place. The image handling is guaranteed to change, and various improvements are already being added to the issue tracker. Check out the module and post your bug reports and ideas at http://www.ubercart.org! Thanks for checking this out!
