This edition of the Core Weekly report highlights changes in PrestaShop’s core codebase during the last week, from Monday 7th to Sunday 13th of March 2016.

Milestones

Pull request with notable information this week:

  • 5170: In order to make it easier to use ModuleAdminController (instead of using “configure” all the time), hook-related methods are moved from the Module class to the Hook class.
  • 5174: Making sure that PrestaShop 1.7.0.0 runs smoothly on PHP 5.4.

The team is hard at work on PrestaShop 1.7, the next major version of the most complete e-commerce software solution there is. You can find an up-to-date thread about it in the forum.

Please note that finishing the planned projects for 1.7 and delivering a quality beta version soon is the top priority for the PrestaShop Core developers at the moment. Merging community pull requests has therefore slowed down until then, but will be back with a vengeance once we have a first beta to release to you! So please keep testing, and keep sending patches our way: it’s the raison d’être of this community project!
