General Support / notifications for new code and updated extensions
« on: November 18, 2013, 03:45:05 PM »
Hello Abantecart support! Thanks for making this cart.
Here's what seems to need a solution: when there are code fixes and extension updates (Abantecart extensions) how does one know this? Currently there is a need for the PayPal Express Checkout to have a fix this to be available in a couple of days - So how do those of us who have that extension know there is a fix and what we need to do - download the latest version or go to github, etc?
Reading the board frequently gets me some of the fixes - but if they came prior to my starting on the board a couple of months ago - it's not a sure thing I will get know.
Can you perhaps make a new section on the board that actually posts fixes and updates to extensions. This would need to inform us in addition to what is being fixed as to which version the fix is for - ex. http://forum.abantecart.com/index.php/topic,1208.0/topicseen.html This was good information if one wants to disable the review - And if running ver 1.1.7. I am assuming once 1.1.8 is ready, it will include this. Therefore the fix needs to state that it is for versions 1.1.7 and earlier (if that is correct)
Just going to github - doesn't quite do it. I never know exactly what the code is really fixing - and rather I need it or not.
Thanks for considering a more concise way for users to find this information.
