ubercart 6.x-2.0-beta1

The first beta release of Ubercart 2.0 for Drupal 6 has arrived! A this point, we have ported all of the modules we plan on supporting, and made use of most of the API improvements available in Drupal 6.

New and Improved

There aren't too many new features, but that's not what we've been concentrating on for this version. Instead, we've been working hard on making the code better, faster, stronger...or something like that.

• Conditional Actions: A Rules-like system that we needed to write because Rules wasn't finished by the time we needed it. It handles taxes, shipping quotes, and a host of other tasks that Workflow-ng did in Ubercart 1.
• Email notifications are now configurable as Conditional Actions. The email body is a setting for the action, and integrated with Token.
• Google Checkout is included as a core payment gateway.
• Implemented product fields as CCK extra fields so they can be reordered or hidden on the same form.
• Use SimpleXML for 3rd party shipping quote integration, reducing the amount of code loaded.

Known Issues

It's still a beta release, so there are still some things to take care of:

• Workflow-ng configurations won't be automatically converted to Conditional Actions predicates.
• uc_stock gives email notices for every order after threshold levels have been reached.
• The product kit discount on a single item should not make that item have a negative price.
• Updating a product will only update its price in any product kits if it has a negative discount, because you can only have no discount if you set the price to a fixed amount.
• No standard way to import nodes, orders, or anything else.
• Anything else already in the issue queue. ;)

As always, please report any bugs so that we can keep improving Ubercart.
