Hello Fintan,

The layoutchange.zip have some images which shows the layout source (VM default FE template) compared between version 2.0.6 and version 2.0.8. So is more easy to find the changes have been applied to default VM template in 2.0.8 and change them quickly on your custom template when upgrading VM to 2.0.8.

Hope it helps.

Regards.

Is there a way to know which lines have been changed ? It could be very tiresome to look through each file  :(

Hello Wonderland,

I use a product called BeyondCompare found at http://www.scootersoftware.com/shop.php (http://www.scootersoftware.com/shop.php)
It cost $30 but it is worth every penny.  You can do a side by side compare of the code showing very easily the difference between files. It also can be used to sync files and folders.
I have been using this for 3 years now and it has saved me a lot of hours and headaches, especially after hacking the VM1.5 code.

Yes, BeyondCompare is an excellent tool. I also use ExamDiff (freeware) for looking at individual files.

You can also keep a check of more recent updates to the SVN on https://github.com/VirtueMart/virtuemart/commits/master
