Thanks Torben and Don,

Torben: are the api issues referred to in the bug reports acs core changes, or an effect of the shift to postgres 8? Do you think I'm best off starting with 5.1? (I have a very tight deadline)

Don: I used to have commit rights (user marka) but they either disappeared or I have forgotten the password - if you could re-add me that would be great.

First priority will be basic functionality, but I'd like to refactor it enough to use existing core modules like categories. Gradual pragmatic refactoring should let me get quite a lot of useful functionality out I think.

Ps: it seems the email replies from my blackberry disappeared - I guess forum email replies are turned off.

Something else that would be nice would be to hook it up to the db agnostic search we have nowadays. It's easy to do ...

From the bug report Torben mentioned it looks as though there's a fair number of issues that are just related to the toolkit moving and leaving ecommerce behind...

Mark,

Yes, the deprecated procs are part of core. Using 5.3 *should* be the fastest path for testing in 5.3, but you might want to have a 5.1 available to refer to, since the deprecated functions may not be documented in 5.3 and the changes are not necessarily simple substitution.

cheers,

Torben
