Releases for Amazon Module

If there are no significant issues with this version, it will be the basis for a 1.0 release.

Please don't forget to run update.php after upgrading.

New Features

• Add views handling for Amazon images, including linking.
• #437158: Make date-type fields in ASIN module into real date fields instead of strings: Date-related items are now supported in views as dates.
• #511008: Unpublish or Delete Amazon Nodes if Unavailable on Amazon: Track and handle invalid ASINs. We now mark them as invalid_asin in the amazon_item table, and some of the tpl.php files make note of this. The invalid_asin is also available via views.
• #598588: Provide filters for additional Amazon information (detailpageurl, various images): Many new filters are now available through [amazon ASIN detail]. Everything that is preprocessed in amazon_preprocess_amazon_item() is available for use. For example, [amazon 0596515804 detailpageurl]
• #595980: Ship a feature with Amazon that has a view and a cck type: Added a demonstration module (requires features module) that provide a CCK type and a view.

Bug fixes

• #278034: When a node has multiple amazon items, the display of those items runs together. by iva2k - Fix node-view CSS when there is more than one ASIN field
• #543990: Insert of ASIN content type does not populate amazon_item table until 'load' op happens by rfay - Fix bug where save didn't include Amazon database update
• #353285: Remove 'not null' on items for which Amazon might not return attributes - Remove "NOT NULL" from database definition where Amazon might in fact not return information.
• Added delete of amazon_item when related node is deleted.
• #350320: Display of & (and possibly other special chars) isn't handled correctly - Allow HTML in title of Amazon item
• #326963: asin_field returns $items when it shouldn't, which kinda breaks stuff. by bangpound: Correct return values in hook_field()
  

A number of issues fixed, including a major change to the module's requirements -- you must now set up an Amazon API account to use the module, as they require a custom API key for each site.

#426786: Image URL length
#421940: amazon field says ID number not found (if ISBN starts with 1) -- patch solution
#465516: AAWS "Request Authentication" must be implemented by August 15, 2009
#415366: Amazon cck field returns empty when used in flexifield (cck)
#329463: Force fetch when testing ASINs via admin interface

Progress on #231612: Upgrade path for Amazon associate tools module? -- the ASIN module now includes a clean upgrade path for Drupal 5 users who had the ASIN module. The D5 version used an improper storage mechanism for its data, and automatic upgrades were previously impossible.

BETA-6 was broken. It was broken because Eaton is dumb.

A tragically minor fix for a bug that broke views integration.
