Title: VirtueMart 1.1.4 Released
Post by: aravot on October 16, 2009, 20:07:59 PM
VirtueMart 1.1.4 is a recommended maintenance update, which provides numerous bug fixes for problems discussed in the forum and on our bug tracker, other enhancements and a lot of minor bugs (see the changelog (http://dev.virtuemart.net/cb/wiki/4245) for full details).

Full installation packages and patch packages are available on the download page (http://virtuemart.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=54&Itemid=147).

To update to version 1.1.4, login to your VirtueMart administration area and choose "Check for Updates" from the "Admin" menu, then click the "Check now!" button and follow the instructions there. (Or, you can download the 1.1.4 patch package directly (http://virtuemart.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=54&Itemid=147) , save it to your local hard drive, and choose to "Upload a Patch Package" from the "Upload a Patch" tab.)

If you are using VirtueMart 1.1.0, you must first update to VirtueMart 1.1.1 before updating to VirtueMart 1.1.4.

Post all bugs related to VirtueMart 1.1.4 release in Quality & Testing VirtueMart 1.1.x (http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?board=61.0) board.

Can not do an automatic update from the VirtueMart Admin (1.1.3)

getting this error on all of my three sites:

QuoteError: Failed to retrieve the location of the Patch Package virtuemart.net Server. Probably there's no Patch Package available for your Version. Try again later if you think it's a network problem.

I'm getting the same error:

Is this my site or virtuemart.net issue?

Any updates in language files?

Same problem as MAD King and others. Appreciate it can be manually downloaded but that is not the point. Virtuemart have provided the service to update via the panel and it should work, at present it does not. Could someone let us know why and when we are likely to see it work?

Download the correct version directly from here and upload it through VM:

The error was due to server issue which hosting company was having, this type of issues are out of our hand.

Last I checked it was fixed.

@Eraser, language files should be updated and provided to us by language translator.

Any list of files/lines, that needs updating? or do I have to track them down manually?

thanks for the update! updated on joomla 1.5.14 and virtuemart 1.1.3 from the backend. automated downloading and installing. the whole process worked like a charm.

Great job and many thanks to the development team.

As mentioned in this thread ... are there any changes we need to know about regarding language files?

PS: The online automatic update through the admin panel works like a charm and it even warns you what files will be overwritten, to make sure that users with customized versions are aware of what will be changed.

QuoteCheck out the bug tracker!
According to bugtracker (witch isn't comfortable way at all) there is  only one line added to language files. ::)
Is that correct?

Untranslated language string in checkout_register_form.php
User registration is disabled, it must be enabled in order to proceed.

Our language translate coordinator is studying for his university finals and is not available, don't know if anything has been added or not, just use a compare software and compare the files.

That's going to be annoying, since I can't compare English and Estonian file. I have to compare two English files (v1.1.3 and v1.1.4) and then include changes in Estonian file. And I have to repeat this 18 times. Needlessly lot of work. So the list of files and lines that need editing would be really helpful. Lines that are added into the language files aren't even in different (highlighted) section.

No hurry by me ... :) ... I suggested my clients and Estonian community to hold up with upgrading anyway. That's because the upgrade has messed up some sites already. :(

This is just awesome .. thank you very much for your hard work and commitment to the virtuemart project.. this is a huge day! Thanks for the improved version.

The auto update function was smooth and works!

If you think comparing few files few time is a lot of work for your own benefit, I don't think any of of us who put a lot of time providing support, coding, testing writing documentation will be doing the work for you.

It is up to you and other users to decide whether to upgrade or not.

My purpose by no means wasn't to criticize the work done by the developers in any way. ;D

I also don't expect anyone to do my work for me, but I would appreciate, if that could be done easier. I don't think that it is too much to ask. Joomla! developers manage to generate a list of changes in language files. OK, one may wonder, that there are more people working on Joomla!, but even developers who are working on their extensions alone, manage at least to highlight lines, that are added to language files. Something like that ...

'VM_FIELDS_CAPTCHA' => 'Captcha Field (using com_securityimages)',
# Added in 1.1.14
'VM_FIELDS_AGEVERIFICATION' => 'Age Verification (Date Select Fields)',
'VM_FIELDS_AGEVERIFICATION_MINIMUM' => 'Specify the minimum Age'


Keeping translations of tens and hundreds of extensions up-to-date is also quite huge work. ;) And if updating language files of one extension takes as much effort as updating the language files of ten other extensions, then it's also quite frustrating. So I don't think that I'm asking others to do my work for me. :-\

Eraser, I don't mean to offend you in any way, but I think you are missing the point.
