Old Changelogs & Perstashop version releases

[zigon]

Hi

I was wondering if anyone knows where i could find the changelogs for old versions of Prestashop (if they are to be found).

I am currently running an old version of the shop with a few substantial modifications. As such i am hesitant to upgrade as i will need to re-implement my custom features. I am looking for the changelog (at least, a back catalogue of old release version would be better) of old versions of prestashop.

I checked your subversion server which unfortunately only displays the trunk to the general public, as your running svn i would imagine you have old versions taged. If you could make the public i would be very much obliged.

One of my reasons for this request is to see the changes/fixes relating to security. Are these available in the changelogs? I was deeply concerned when reading this post http://www.prestashop.com/forums/viewthread/123/security/9_security_issues_discovered in which it seems you are opting for "security though obscurity" Personally i think this can be a disasters approach, especially with open source software and would strongly advise you to reconsider your stance. As such i will post a thread on this in the security board.

Back to the main point of this request. Where are the changlogs?

Thanks in advance and also for a great product.

If anyone wants to read my post about the issue of "security though obscurity" here it is

(would have added it to my first post but unfortunately causality was a bit of an issue).

You can use SVN to examine the old log messages. In the file CHANGELOG you can find relations between versions and releases. If I want to see which files that have been changed from 1.2.3.0 to 1.2.4.0 I type:

svn log -r 1328:1339

Cheers presta-dyr good thinking!

I outputted all change (svn log http://svn.prestashop.com/ | tee changelog.txt) and had a browse.

It unfortunate it only goes back to 2008-12-01 15:37:59 +0000 (Mon, 01 Dec 2008) - I assume this is when they started using svn.
(its nice to see they have number reffed the bugs mostly and you can see them via http://www.prestashop.com/bug_tracker/view/enterbugnumber )

This is a bit better than http://svn.prestashop.com/trunk/CHANGELOG which shows changes made from April onwards.

So i was wondering if there are any changlogs for version before 01 Dec 2008 and if so where can i find them?

Also i was wondering how i could find the revision number of various releases, as there is only the 2.5 tag viewable to the public this is a little difficult. Have releases any other releases been taged or branched?

Cheers in Advance.
