The alpha 5 release benefited from the efforts of many contributors at the Paris Drupal Commerce sprint from July 17-21, 2011. A lot of the volunteer effort went into providing more complete Token / Entity / Rules / Views integration for the various modules. As a result, we were able to remove the anonymous checkout settings form in favor of an entirely Rules based account creation process. We also were able to turn the shopping cart form into a View through the use of some tricksy post-processing.
The shopping cart saw other improvements as well. Line items in shopping cart orders will now "refresh" as expected if the price of any product on the order changes. We also fleshed out the cart API to make it easier to manipulate the cart contents and determine when an order is actually considered a shopping cart.
This release primarily includes updates to LayoutStudio that are needed to enable certain features in the LayoutStudio Extras companion module. If you are using LayoutStudio <= 7.x-1.6 you should update to this release or higher.
This release also includes the following new feature:
feature #1034736: Set defaults for theme features so that LayoutStudio can support them, but have some turned off by default.
