Ubercart 2.0 Reaches Release Candidate for Drupal 6 in a Late Night Hackathon

In:
  • Drupal
  • Ubercart
18Apr2009
So, Lyle and I were in need of a good morale boost last night to spur us ever onward in our quest to catch up with the Drupal community. My wife was out of town, so we hunkered down for a few hours at Chick-fil-a and hacked away on the final issues related to an Ubercart 2.0 release candidate until the restaurant closed. We returned home and finished watching Fullmetal Alchemist (incredible anime) while waiting on an eleventh hour patch from sammys. The patch received, we proceeded to refine, test, and test again the latest changes since the last beta until we felt confident to package up a release candidate some time after 3:30 AM. Surprise! The release notes show the most recent changes, primarily the addition of a core price handler to centralize development related to price altering discount, fee, and tax related features. Here's hoping the year was worth the wait and the new system is leveraged by the awesome developer community to put up some solid contributions! These last few months alone have seen 30+ new patch contributors to Ubercart core, so I know you all have some muscle to flex. We're expecting a final 2.0 release to follow soon and can't wait to get back to working on core and rewriting some of our first Drupal modules ever. Enjoy. I know we will. Smile And yes, I slept like a baby last night.
