PrestaShop Core Weekly - Week 19 of 2016

This edition of the Core Weekly report highlights changes in PrestaShop’s core codebase during the previous week, from Monday 9th to Sunday 15th of May 2016.

Milestones

The work being done on version 1.7.0.0 is still going strong, working towards a proper first Beta!
In the meantime, the 1.6 branch is being supported, as expected, and you should soon see 1.6.1.6 land :)

Want to help things go faster? There are several ways:

Test the latest alpha version (or better, test the current development version, straight from GitHub);
Report issues on the Forge (or confirm issues that are already listed - use the search engine!);
Fix issues by submitting a pull request (or confirm that a submitted pull request does indeed fix the presented issue);
Help improve the 1.7 Theme Development doc (yes, it is very sparse at the moment).

You can find an up-to-date thread about the 1.7 development in the forum.
The 1.7 Project FAQ is always available here: http://build.prestashop.com/news/prestashop-1-7-faq/.

Do you live near Paris? Do you want to come test-drive the design of PS 1.7? Let us know!
