For users using APC; need to restart the server after PEAR upgrade
XAMPP/WAMP Users - While testing upgrades from the PEAR channel, issues were discovered. At this time we do not recommend PEAR channel upgrades in these environments
If you installed 0.714800 not using the PEAR installer, you can still use the PEAR channel upgrade (make sure all directories are writable for web server user) by going to Remote Extensions (admin) and clicking on Interface_Adminhtml_Default, Action tab and click install. Repeat same procedure for Interface_Frontend_Default and Interface_Install_Default.
After upgrading, please logout to refresh the current installation
Avid Magento fan and community member, Sean Culver, presented Magento in Bangkok’s first BarCamp. The event was a huge success and the response from the audience was great (the Magento stickers Sean printed certainly helped out).
BarCamp is an international network of user generated conferences — open, participatory workshop-events, whose content is provided by participants — often focusing on early-stage web applications, and related open source technologies, social protocols, and open data formats.
Thanks for the initiative Sean! Magento thanks you greatly
