Innar.Hunt Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Hi folks, Is there any information available, when we can expect new release for PS? I mean 1.6.1. Asking this, as there seems the be many bugs and I'm really waiting for new release, before starting to work on my shop. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roband Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 From what I have read 'off the record' a 1.6.0.6 release with loads of fixes is planned for later this week. Cheers, Rob. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds good. Would that be 1.6.1 stable version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrestaHeroes USA Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Personally I think 1.6.0.5 had very few bumps in the road. What you will see is people upgrading, this is 'always' creating some issues... but one must have good 'business' reason to upgrade 'anything' so while you are waiting for next release, go theme shopping, because more than likely you theme will not be 1.6 compliant. also, this would be a good time to create a test shop of our production shop, then back that up and practice upgrade...then you be ready to roll, regardless of this or future release.

Well said, I fully agree. Given the huge changes in 1.6, I've been pleasantly surprised how well it works for fresh installations. With the amount of fixes in the upcoming 1.6.0.6 it looks even better. Upgrades is another matter though. Clearly Prestashop could have done better there. Hope that also improves with the upcoming bugfix release. Cheers, Rob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrestaHeroes USA Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Hey Rob, i.e. upgrades...my two cents... if people would stop making changes 'outside' of their template...upgrades would be much more smoothly but what happens most and which makes any upgrade seem fraught with issues: the don't 1) have fallback plan 2) create test shop to test upgrade... 3) test upgrading until it works perfectly 4) create cutover plan, back up and implement to not do these two simple things is utter folly...in my mind I want to tell them, I'd like to help you out but I don't know what door you came in. No business should put themselves at risk without taking some minor preperations and precautions. and to update just because you are prompted by back office to do is is NOT recommended, you should have good business reason 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
