Releases for Amazon Product Advertisement API

Bug fixes
- Fixed bug with encoding of the url
New features
- Locales (localized items) are now stored in the database
- Made number of items to be processed on cron configurable
- Added Simpletests

The Amazon Product Advertisement Drupal 8 Module is in super-duper early development. In other words "Are you a developer?" and "Do you want to contribute to the module?"

This release adds basic API functionality and a still incomplete API Test Form. It can be improved and deserves the attention of several developers to ensure correctness and project completeness.

August 21, 2015

The core Amazon Module has been updated to save all of the product images within the "amazon_item_image_gallery" table. The new table introduces a category and image_order column. The category column marks the first product image as primary and every other image as variant.

In addititon, the ASIN module and the new Amazon Component module integrate with the new image gallery features.

Future releses will include support for a Gallery Block and Views.

No tricks, just treats!

Long overdue, a few pesky bugs have been squashed, including adding a new feature that is also sort of a bug fix.

Please don't forget to run update.php after upgrading.

New Features

• Add views handling for Amazon images, including linking.
• #437158: Make date-type fields in ASIN module into real date fields instead of strings: Date-related items are now supported in views as dates.
• #511008: Unpublish or Delete Amazon Nodes if Unavailable on Amazon: Track and handle invalid ASINs. We now mark them as invalid_asin in the amazon_item table, and some of the tpl.php files make note of this. The invalid_asin is also available via views.
• #598588: Provide filters for additional Amazon information (detailpageurl, various images): Many new filters are now available through [amazon ASIN detail]. Everything that is preprocessed in amazon_preprocess_amazon_item() is available for use. For example, [amazon 0596515804 detailpageurl]
• #595980: Ship a feature with Amazon that has a view and a cck type: Added a demonstration module (requires features module) that provide a CCK type and a view.

Bug fixes

• #278034: When a node has multiple amazon items, the display of those items runs together. by iva2k - Fix node-view CSS when there is more than one ASIN field
• #543990: Insert of ASIN content type does not populate amazon_item table until 'load' op happens by rfay - Fix bug where save didn't include Amazon database update
• #353285: Remove 'not null' on items for which Amazon might not return attributes - Remove "NOT NULL" from database definition where Amazon might in fact not return information.
• Added delete of amazon_item when related node is deleted.
• #350320: Display of & (and possibly other special chars) isn't handled correctly - Allow HTML in title of Amazon item
• #326963: asin_field returns $items when it shouldn't, which kinda breaks stuff. by bangpound: Correct return values in hook_field()
  

A number of issues fixed, including a major change to the module's requirements -- you must now set up an Amazon API account to use the module, as they require a custom API key for each site.

A tragically minor fix for a bug that broke views integration.

Adds working template files for books, movies, software, and other media types, fixes a number of minor bugs, and generally moves us much closer to a final release candidate.
