In an attempt to give an overview of the evolving changes in GetPaid's code, I am adding another summary of the change logs.

Updates from rev1079

Overview:

  • Product tarball size, 463KB (get it here)
  • Outstanding issues for release: 8 total. 2 critical bugs, 1 critical task.
  • Documentation: 22 items. 2 tutorials, 9 FAQs, 6 Howtos, 5 error references. Find it here
  • Release date: December 15, 2007

Product fixes, cleaning related to release, making it Just Work

Several things recently have gotten better as we get more testing feedback. In particular:
  • Buildout working on windows
  • Merging the Plone 3.0 and 2.5 buildouts to be common, adjusting the structure. See info from Maurits
  • Fixing tarballs (and the script that generates them) so they have more general layout (get them here)
  • A problem with the CMFofFive version was fixed
  • Typos and errors in the buildout process were fixed. Tabs removed from files. Typo on null processor fixed.  "fulfillment" typo fixed.
  • The recipe used on buildout for Plone 2.5 was switched to support Windows
  • Readme added to the nightly build script.
  • The US states list was fixed (adding back in DC).
  • Plone hotfix made a part of the buildout
  • Fix to check site encoding before filling out the checkout form automatically with that info.
  • Readme updated 
  • Fixed donation checkout to allow anonymous checkout (if site set to do so)
  • Dutch translation updated
  • Bug fix with five.intid subscribers.

New features and goodies

  • Address copier: let's you designate the shipping address to be the same as mailing, and thus not need to re-enter all the info. Thanks, Lucie!
  • Ogone payment processor: updated to work with the latest GetPaid interfaces, you can now use the Ogone payment processor (for European merchant accounts). Thanks, Jfroche!
  • Subtotal and total views: now on the cart review and checkout you see a subtotal for the cost of your order and total. In the process, Kapil refactored total pricing to be an adapter against a line item container,  orders implement this directly, shopping carts can be adapted, tax and  shipping utilities now need to distinguish between the two.
  • Upgrade helper: the upgrade tool now automatically tags the database version on install.
  • Credit card validator: made more robust.
  • Button ordering on checkout made more friendly
  • Tests updated on email notifications. Changes made in implementation to make it easier to customize email messages (moving parts from the subscriber to the adapter). Also fixed email notifications for anonymous checkout. Thanks Lucie!
That takes us back to rev1000.
