Norwegian went out in beta 6. Absolutely no negative feedback in the last weeks, so all the testing and debugging that went into 3.1 is proving itself.
B. is playing with Smarty for possible templating uses. There are pros and cons, but Smarty at least compiles its templates to PHP interleaved web pages so it is fast past the first access.
We released 3.1b5 this morning. The new version includes support for MSSQL and Oracle. The java installer was also changed to give the new SQL options.
I got Oracle working with an installed FishCart and tested it. I'm working on moving it into source right now.
To Do: Finish adding Oracle into source. Add Oracle and MSSQL choices to Java installer. Test clean install with both.
Added initial MSSQL support to FishCart, committed to CVS; still needs to be tested from a full installation. Looks very good so far running FishCart on Linux using the drivers from freetds.org; login was not via an NT domain, user was an MSSQL user only.
