OFFICIAL BUG THREAD:
viewtopic.php?f=31&t=28937

EXTENSION & THEME NOTES:
Most 1.4.9.x themes should work fine. There were only tiny changes to the tpl files and only the header.tpl is likely to be something you'd have different in a custom theme. Be sure your custom themes never have their own "payment" folder as that folder should always be left out so that the default is used so that any updates to payment modules are applied to your store

OTHER NOTES:

If you are using vQmod, you will need to redo the manual steps from the vQmod installation to change the new index.php files to add back the vqmod code
The USPS update to the V4 Rate API has some stricter rules and may or may not throw an error message.
1. If you get an error that "RateV4 is not a valid..." that is because their new api doesn't work with usps test accounts. Contact usps to have them enable your account for production mode.
2. If you get no rates where you used to, this is possibly due to you choosing rectangular sized packages but either left the dimension fields blank or the WxLxHxGirth don't create a rectangle or square. Try variable package shape.
If you still see 1.4.9.3 in the footer, then you didn't upload all the files
If you see errors about invoice_date then you either didn't upload all the files or didn't run the db upgrade script.
Be sure to read the doc files:
-- install.txt for new installs
-- upgrade.txt for upgrades
-- PatchOnlyReadMe.txt for patch only upgrades

Thanks for another update!

Were you planning on adding in my update to Weight-Based Shipping at any point? If not, that's fine, just let me know and I'll put it up in the extension store.

Great work as always, this should be a very stable version

by **joegti10** » Sat Mar 19, 2011 11:05 pm

Maybe im missing something but in the patch version im trying to upgrade with i dont see /install/upgrade.php in the zip...

by **marvmen21** » Sat Mar 19, 2011 11:08 pm

Hi Q, I didn't find the upgrade.php file in the install folder,

by **florinsith** » Sat Mar 19, 2011 11:32 pm

Ya sorry. The upgrade.php file didnt actually change but the upgrade.sql did. I forgot to include the upgrade script with the patch. For now you can grab the install/upgrade.php file from the full install and add it to the install folder after uploadung the patch. Ill add it to the patch when I get home.

-EDIT- updated the patch only to have it

by **joegti10** » Sat Mar 19, 2011 11:37 pm

was going to do that but figured id wait before i bork my install lol, thanks

Ok I fixed the patchonly version to include the install/upgrade.php script now

by **Purebeads** » Sun Mar 20, 2011 4:35 am

I have version 1.4.8b. Would it be better for me to install each upgrade, or to go directly to 1.4.9.4? I guess that either way I'll have to re-do my modifications to the code.

Well I never made a 1.4.8b to 1.4.9 patch only.. I only started patching the 1.4.9.x versions. So you'd need to get to 1.4.9 first. Then you could do the patches pretty easily.. just upload them one after the other in order and run the upgrade script at the end

Great Work Q! Tenk's
Sincerly, Marco

by **Purebeads** » Sun Mar 20, 2011 8:08 am

Qphoria, you say, "get to 1.4.9". 1.4.9 came after 1.4.8b, right? So there should be a patch if I find the right thread.

I see that few core files I made minor modification to, have changed after this release...
Correct me if I'm wrong, but modification of core files could be done with a help of VQMod? (To avoid future editing of core files) Where could i get "how to" for VQMod with syntax?
As far as I see, translation to another language only needed for admin panel. No new strings in front end, right?

But I never made a "patch-only" from 1.4.8b to 1.4.9. You'll have to either:
A) do the full upgrade from 1.4.8b to 1.4.9
B) use WinMerge to diff the 2 versions and copy the changed files out to another folder to get just the changes.

http://vQmod.com has the syntax. You can also take a look at the vQmod script archive and learn from the many examples:

You sneaky person you!

I downloaded and installed it, working like a charm!

Dutch language is updated as from now on.

Thanks for your hard work on this.

Hint: maybe next-time a refresh button on the Install-page where it checks if the rights on files and directory's are set correctly

Would it work to just copy over the files that have a newer date than the files on my server? Or have all the dates been changed?
