e-Commerce release 4.7.x-2.1 (14-Dec-2006) doesn't include the intended bug fixes described at http://drupal.org/node/103270.
Diagnosis: This appears to be due to incorrect CVS tag placement. Tags DRUPAL-4-7--2-1 and DRUPAL-4-7--2-0 both seem to apply to the same revisions across the entire ecommerce module in the repository. So when creating revision 4.7.x-2.1 the release system picked up the incorrectly tagged revisions (without the bug fixes) rather than the latest revisions in the repository.
Example: product.module revision 1.116.2.17 is tagged with both DRUPAL-4-7--2-1 and DRUPAL-4-7--2-0, so that that revision appears in both releases 4.7.x-2.0 and 4.7.x-2.1. But the bug fixes described in the release notes at http://drupal.org/node/103270 were fixed in product.module releases 1.116.2.18 - 1.116.2.21 (latest on 7-Dec-2006).
Workaround: If you are still using e-Commerce 4.7.x-2.x and want the bug fixes described in http://drupal.org/node/103270 intended for inclusion in 4.7.x-2.1, this can be obtained with a cvs checkout of branch DRUPAL-4-7. (As a bonus, some new/updated translation *.po files will be included if you do this.)
OK I know e-Commerce 4.7.x-2.x (and even Drupal 4.7) is not supported anymore, and 16 months is a long time in Drupal-land, but it may be worth considering creating a 4.7.x-2.2 release for:
(a) people happy with 4.7.x-2.x who want those final bug fixes
(b) people who have customized from 4.7.x-2.1 and so not quite updated to ec3 yet
(c) or even just for historical interest for cvs repository browsers :-)
Best wishes, Mark
