commerce 7.x-1.0-alpha2

Alpha 2 represents a ton of work on the systems in general and on the Payment module specifically. Contributed modules may actually begin to integrate payment components into the checkout process, as Commerce PayPal does for PayPal WPS. Transactions can actually be created and associated with orders, and are visible on an order's Payment tab in a View that includes a form for adding new payments. There's still work to be done, but it is now ready for some outside eyes to take a serious look at the way modules will have to integrate with checkout and the payment terminal.

I've recently made an effort to document all the info hooks int he Commerce modules in the Specification handbook on drupalcommerce.org. This work turned up some API inconsistencies that have been addressed. Additional attention still needs to be paid to the Entity and Field implementations to detect similar issues and develop a working specification.

The last couple of days have also seen bug fixes to get Commerce running on Drupal 7.0-beta1. Similar work was done on the Address Field module, so I rolled that into an alpha1 release for some serious testing and bug reporting as well.

Many thanks to auzigog for his work on building out a SimpleTest base class we can use to develop Commerce tests. He's documented how to use the class in the Specification handbook, so let's see some test patches now. ; )

As before, the best way to start testing Commerce quickly is to use my Commerce Dev installation profile. To get it, click the download button in the top right at http://github.com/rszrama/commercedev and extract the contents into drupal/profiles/commercedev. There are some issues with display formatter settings in the default image fields the profile is creating, so use it with a bit of patience. Alternately, the longstanding issues with module installation seem to be fixed, so you can always set everything up by hand.
