Magento 0.6.13110 Available for Download
We are pleased to announce the availability for download of Magento Preview version 0.6.13110. The biggest highlights of the release include performance gains, ability to control currencies on a per store level including enabling/disabling currencies from the Zend locale, and the finalization of the shipping and payment API's (see a recent wiki post on how to create a payment module).
Yoav, Varien's CTO discusses the release in the video below (recorded a few hours before the release):
--- RELEASE NOTES ---
Major Changes:
- Added product tags multistore functionality
- Implemented currency administration
- Currency rates updating via webservices was reworked, the tutorial on currency rate webservices integration will be posted in Magento blog soon
- Locale settings configuration added to choose allowed Zend_Locale data

- Unified events and layouts names, documentation will follow soon
- Mage_Core, Mage_Checkout, Mage_Catalog, Mage_Cms and Mage_Review modules helpers implemented for better performance

- Few minor bugs fixed in installation wizard
- Added custom database port/socket setting in installation wizard
- Refactored controllers, moved operations from constructor to preDispatch

Known Issues:
- New allowed currency is immediately available in frontend that causes 'Undefined rate from "XXX-YYY"' messages and wrong calculations in shopping cart and checkout until the currency rates are updated
- Configurable product price doesn't use locale format to display

Cheers for the new version. Just downloaded magento-0.6.13110.zip but it seems it still contains the previous version. A quick check of app\Mage.php shows the version as 0.6.12840.
I am sure this was completely intentional

thanks, I am updating my pre-live sites, now most urgent to my mind is VAT for Europe

the shipping & payment APIs are finalized--excellent. How about the product data model? That is to say, can I start adding products in earnest, and be confident that I won’t have to do it again before the final 1.0 version? (To me that’s the most important milestone.) Thanks!
