This edition of the Core Weekly report highlights changes in PrestaShop’s core codebase during the previous week, from Monday 20th to Sunday 26th of June 2016.
General messages
More than a year after creating the 1.6.1.x branch (and thus, deprecating the 1.6 branch) and warning not to use the 1.6 branch anymore, we chose to finally close the 1.6 branch. Several pull requests (79, to be exact) remained open in the old 1.6 branch, most of which could not be merged anymore for obvious reasons; they were automatically closed as soon as we closed the branch.
Despite our “Review your PR” campaign in November 2015, which asked PR contributors to update their code and switch it to the 1.6.1.x branch or the develop branch, many PR remained untouched. While we did port some to the develop branch, we just cannot work them all into PS 1.7 while we are hard at work making it happen.
About 1.7…
Have you tested Beta 1 of PrestaShop 1.7?
Have you tried one of your module in 1.7? Have you tried to create a 1.7 theme? How did it go?
Give us your feedback!
Want to help things go faster? There are several ways:
- Test the Beta version (or better, test the current development version, straight from GitHub);
- Report issues on the Forge (or confirm issues that are already listed - use the search engine!);
- Fix issues by submitting a pull request (or confirm that a submitted pull request does indeed fix the presented issue);
- Help improve the 1.7 tech documentation (both for themes and modules), with issues and pull requests.
You can find an up-to-date thread about the 1.7 development in the forum.
The 1.7 Project FAQ is always available here: http://build.prestashop.com/news/prestashop-1-7-faq/.
Do you live near Paris? Do you want to come test-drive the design of PS 1.7? Let us know!
