Dear community,


Thanks to the contributors, I'm pleased to announce you the following 
releases.


New releases
------------

 - Version 2.1.0 of the OpenERP Connector framework
 - Version 2.3.0 of the Magento Connector
 - The connector_ecommerce module has now its own project and has been 
released with a 2.1.0 tag [0]

Most notably, I underline the refactoring of the Mapper [1] and the fact 
that it introduces some backward incompatible API changes (documented in 
[1] and [2]). But also the possibility to give a custom description to a 
job, on_record_create/on_record_write events now receive the vals 
(keys+values) instead of the field names, a new API to generate special 
order lines, German translation and several fixes.

You can see the detailed changelogs here:

http://openerp-magento-connector.com/project/changes.html

All the branches got bzr tags with their release number, I strongly 
encourage to use them for the production installations.


Branch lp:openerp-connector/7.0-e-commerce-addons deprecated
------------------------------------------------------------

I started to deprecate the lp:openerp-connector/7.0-e-commerce-addons 
branch as it is a duplicate of lp:e-commerce-addons/7.0 (it was always 
intended to be a transient branch during the development of the connector)
What I have done so far is:
 - extracted the connector_ecommerce module in its own project [0]
 - proposed (and got merged) the changes done in the other addons of 
the branch in the main branch (lp:e-commerce-addons/7.0).

Practically, when updating to the new release, the steps are:
 - remove the old e-commerce-addons branch from the openerp-connector 
project
 - make a branch of lp:e-commerce-addons/7.0 in place of the old one so 
you get the standard branch
 - make a branch of lp:openerp-connector-ecommerce/7.0 to get 
connector_ecommerce
 - (then updating the modules etc. as usual)

I noticed one difference between the old and the main one:
the payments generated by the old sale_payment_method were linked to 
account moves, whereas the version in the standard e-commerce-addons 
links them to the account move lines (diff: [3]).
You should be aware of that when upgrading to the new version.(if 
someone could propose a migration script for that it would be nice, it 
shouldn't be too hard)
I'm conscious that this move can be an issue, so I'm leaving the old 
e-commerce-addons branch in the connector project (apart from the 
connector_ecommerce module) for a moment, but it won't be maintained.

There is 2 known bugs on the new e-commerce-addons branch [4] and [5], 
but I proposed fixes for them so I hope they will be merged within days.

The installation guide [6] has been updated with the branches as well as 
the buildout [7].

Have a nice day,
Best,
