The Interchange Development Group is pleased to announce the release of Interchange 5.4.3 and 5.6.1, maintenance releases to the current and previous stable versions of Interchange.

There were several changes, including bugfixes to prevent cross-site scripting prevention and to fix regressions in the previous releases.

Request tracker (RT) on rt.icdevgroup.org has been updated on last Saturday to 3.8.1. The 3.8 series introduces lots of new features and fixes hundreds of bugs.

Last month, the YAPC::Europe conference for 2008 took place in Copenhagen
(http://www.yapceurope2008.org/ye2008/). ICDEVGROUP member Stefan Hornburg
was one of the speakers. His talk was "Interchange - The Open Source Online
Shop Platform" (http://www.yapceurope2008.org/ye2008/talk/1339).

The next upcoming event is the Twincity Perl Workshop on 7th and 8th
November 2008, held in Vienna and Bratislava
(http://conferences.yapceurope.org/tcpw2008). ICDEVGROUP members Jure
Kodzoman and Stefan Hornburg will visit this event in both cities.

Error messages targetted to the user are kept in the session and are manipulated with the [error] tag. Warnings are manipulated with the [warnings] tag.

This model has the following flaws:

• By default, the errors are retained in the session. This utterly confuses the user.
• [error all=1] displays errors in a all but random order. Errors should be displayed in the same order as they appear in the corresponding form.
• Different semantics of [error] and [warnings].

The 14th LinuxTag closed the doors yesterday. We had a lot of interesting
talks at the booth, ran a two hour project workshop and discussed Interchange development day and night.

The Interchange booth featured a banner across the wall, a big Interchange hanging logo, six-page brochures
and a monitor running a slideshow. It was well received by the visitors and the LinuxTag
project team. Visitors from Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Netherlands
and other countries were attracted and equipped with an Interchange mug
which was a favorite among the visitors.

After a successful exhibition at last years' LinuxTag 2007, the
Interchange Development Group is happy to announce their presence at
LinuxTag 2008 (http://www.linuxtag.org/2008/en/).

LinuxTag, Europe's leading exhibition on Linux and Open Source, is
expected to attract thousands of visitors ranging from IT managers,
developers, system administrators and users of new and existing Open Source
solutions.

The international event (conference languages are English and German)
takes place from May 28 - 31, 2008 at Berlin's Messezentrum unter dem Funkturm.
