MySource Matrix Developer Newsletter - Issue #110
The first new stable version of MySource Matrix's 3.12.x branch was released last Monday. The 3.12.x branch adds almost 80 new features and improvements compared to the 3.10.x branch, and this is expanded by more than 10 new features and changes between the release candidate and the stable version. The new version 3.12.0 also fixes 41 bugs found in 3.12.0 RC1. The 3.12.0 release also marks couple of major changes for MySource Matrix. First, the 3.12.x branch is the first version of the CMS where the core is available under a dual licence, either using the GNU General Public Licence (GPL) or the commercially-supported Squiz Supported Version (SSV) licence. Also, some assets previously only available as part of the commercial module package are now available for use as part of the downloadable (GPL) version. Now available in the free version are all assets from the CMS package (except for Remote Content), all assets from the News package, and some parts of the Import Tools package (particularly the Bulk File Upload tool). Other assets will remain available only under a SSV licensed system. An procedure for upgrading systems to 3.12.0 is available from the MySource Matrix web site (http://matrix.squiz.net/resources/upgrading and follow the 3.10 to 3.12 link under "Major Version Upgrades"). This script has been tested on upgrades from version 3.10.4 to 3.12.0, however it will work with 3.10.5 as well. Upgrades of earlier systems should first upgrade to at least 3.10.4 before upgrading to 3.12.0.

Two new point versions of MySource Matrix were released on Monday. Version 3.8.10, the last of the 3.8.x branch, fixed 8 bugs. Version 3.10.5 fixed 24 bugs and also brought a few minor changes in functionality. One feature was added in 3.10.5: the ability to add a Card Verification Value (CVV) field for the Esec Payment Gateway asset. Users on earlier versions of 3.8.x and 3.10.x are strongly recommended to upgrade to these versions. A reminder that with the 3.8.10 release, the 3.8.x branch is now deprecated. Bug fixes will now only be placed into 3.10.x, 3.12.x and development branches.
