1.7.7.0 Release Candidate 1 status

The QA team is still running the test campaign on the second build for Release Candidate 1.

A major issue has been found in this build: a change made from the Back-Office in an order that does not use the default currency results in the details of this order being displayed with the wrong currency symbol #21566.

Since this issue is located into the “View an Order” Back-Office page, it has been decided that a third build, created after the bug has been fixed, will be necessary. However, this 3rd build test campaign will only target the “Order” Back-Office pages; other areas of the software will not be tested again as they have already been verified during the current test campaign.

If no other issues are reported, 1.7.7.0 Release Candidate 1 should be delivered by the end of this week.

A new external maintainer

The maintainer team welcomed another new member that is not an employee of the PrestaShop Company: @pululuk, who opened his first Pull Request for the project over a year ago, was granted the maintainer status after he submitted his application on October 2nd. Another major milestone for the project and a warm welcome for him!

Notable progress on Continuous Integration

Thanks to @Progi1984, our Continous Integration is now analyzing PrestaShop code under level 3 of PHPStan. PHPStan has been recognized as a quality vector for PHP projects and we hope it will greatly benefit PrestaShop.

Composer v2 is released

You might have noticed it, the package Manager for PHP Composer version 2 has been released! Some packages and projects need an update to be compatible with it and PrestaShop is no exception. We achieved compatibility with Composer v2 this morning so you can use this new version when contributing!
