Thread A new major version of the Connector has been released, version 1.0!

After 3.5 years of rapid development it is now time to officially give the Connector its own major version number. A number of big changes have emerged from this new release. The Connector has been re-branded to become the "Squizz.com" Connector. This reflects how the http://www.squizz.com social Ecommerce platform will be used to distribute the Connector to a broad number of businesses, allowing businesses of all shapes and sizes to integrate with each order, regardless of which website, software or platform they use. TOTECS will still be commandeering the development of the Connector, as well as using it to integrate business systems into its platform.

Version 1 of the Connector has been developed to run completely separate from version 0.X. Version 0.29 of the Connector has been released with a tool that allows the Connector's data to be migrated up to version 1.0 of the Connector. Over time TOTECS customers will be migrated up to the new Connector version. More details about the new version are listed below.
