  • Removes the entire attribute mechanism and replaces it with a flat list of options.

    This means that shops using the attributes will need to adjust their products because instead of having multiple "attributes" there is now one flat list of options with a simple text field to describe them.

    Additionally, summary and detail templates where attributes were displayed will need adjustment.

  • SKUs are now required by default (as they are needed for the Cart2 module)
  • Numerous bug fixes.
• Version 2.20 - October, 2013
  • Refactor the search action
    • Improved ability to search on custom fields
    • Improved ability to specify search behavior in the search template, as opposed to the Products Tag.
    • Fixes pagination links.
    • Improved documentation in the prototype search form template.
    • Now uses the same classes used for generating summary views.... with the same optimizations.

• Version 2.21.x
  • Adds ordering to the product options.
  • Rewrote the product options dialog.
• Version 2.22.x
  • Rework the hierarchy action again... now support showing items from child categories by default.

    This is a change in behavior: you may need to adjust your websites.

    This means that the action=hierarchy will now generate links to summary views that will show the products of that hierarchy, and its children.

    To restore the old behavior the nochildren=1 parameter was added. However, the URLS generated when nochildren=1 is added to the tag will not be pretty.

  • Improvements to ASCII importing:

    Now supports importing product options properly.

    Now support importing categories with the delimiter in its name.

  • begin removing deprecated functions and functionality.
  • Improvements to the orderupdated event wrt updating quantity on hand.
