January flew by very quickly and I can’t believe its time for another newsletter. I hope that you have recovered from the December festivities and that you are all back blogging or running your websites with plenty of new ideas.
Once again we have reached the end of November and it’s time to put out the newsletter.
Finally we have caught up with the backlog and I’m happy to announce that all our products are now compliant with WordPress 2.8.6. As our regular readers will remember in many of the apps the problems were caused by some major changes that were made to the core of WordPress when version 2.8 was released. It has taken a lot of hard work on the part of the Tribulant team to catch up with these changes. Thankfully, this is now done and we can now concentrate on further development and improvement to our products. The last of our products to be upgraded to WordPress 2.8 was Custom Fields.
By the looks of it, WordPress 2.9 doesn’t seem to pose too many major threats and moving over to WordPress 2.9 with our plugins shouldn’t be a problem but please wait for an announcement from us as a green flag.
October seems to have rushed by and for those of you who have been reading the blogs you will know that we have been extremely busy. Finally we managed to release version 1.3 of the WordPress Shopping Cart plugin which is now compatible with WordPress 2.8.5.
We have just uploaded v1.3 of the WordPress Checkout plugin to Tribulant Software and it is still warm as it is lying in your downloads management section, waiting to be downloaded.
For some of us (yes I use the shopping cart as well) the wait for a new release has been painfully long and overdue. We have taken the time to put a few neat upgrades and new features in this release. The were two major problems that needed to be addressed, firstly WordPress changed there core code and many of you who automatically upgraded from WP 2.7 to 2.8 found “Save” buttons missing in the Dashboard Section of the Cart. In my earlier blog I mentioned in detail the steps that were being put in place such as the helpdesk support system and during August we hoped that we would be able to get a release. I then went on leave for two weeks leaving Antonie hard at work. On my return in the middle of October I began final testing. Antonie is a big fan of his Mac and Firefox but when the cart hit a Windows or Linux platform more bugs were found. This time with regard to IE8. Finally after long days and evenings we decided to release version 1.3 and with it we felt that with the added features Shopping Cart had grown up and deserved a name change hence Checkout.
