We are happy to announce that we released a stable version of DJ-Catalog2 that includes e-commerce features.
The previous stable releases used to have 3.5.x version numbers, whereas some of you might already try version 3.6 beta. The "beta" stage was quite long and we were able not only to fix the bugs you reported but also add even more significant options. That's why we are skipping the number 3.6 and the newly released DJ-Catalog2 is having a version no. 3.7.
Let us now go through all significant changes. You will surely have questions, so don't forget to visit FAQ and check out our updated Documentation.
