Hi all,
Yesterday my 1.6.1.6 store reported it needed to update 12 modules, as of today that's risen to 31 modules!
I've tried searching everywhere online to find the reason for so many updates needed and can find no reason. I contacted PrestaShop through their online chat but they weren't aware of any updates. I've seen this issue now on 3 of my ecommerce stores, two of which are 1.6.1.6 and one is 1.6.1.5.
I ran up a demo store and went through all of the updates but there doesn't seem to be any changelog as to why so much has changed. I did notice that the updates correlated with a lot of changes someone called Maxime Biloe is currently doing on GitHub. for example the BankWire change is for stating it's not compatible with 1.7.
I don't suppose anyone can advise as to why so many of the modules are being updated and whether it's safe to actually take the changes as I don't wish to break my websites.
The modules that are requesting updates are:
Bank wire, Banner Block, Cart Block, Categories Block, CMS Block, Contact Block, Contact Information Block, Currency Block, Custom CMS Information Block, Featured Products on the homepage, Image Slider for your homepage, Language block, Layered Navigation block, manufacturers block, my account block, my account block for your websites footer, new products block, newsletter block, payments logo block, product payment logos block, quick search block, social networking block, social sharing, specials block, store locator block, tags block, theme configurator, top horizontal menu, user info block, viewed products block and wishlist block!
Thank you,
David
