We didn't spend as much time whipping up this batch of Hotcakes as we have most of this year. In fact, this is probably the shortest period of time between releases since January or maybe even 2013. That doesn't mean that we didn't include more delicious features to help you, your clients, and your/their customers. Our team has been hard at work on the features below, and more that have yet to be announced.
In this release, we focused on a couple of highly anticipated features in a new Ogone payment method that rounds out our support for Ogone, Quickbooks export, and numerous stability and usability updates. One of the great things about this release though is that there are very few viewset changes for you to merge (if you're upgrading).
As always, please test your upgrades on a development version of your site first. Be sure to back-up prior to upgrade, and merge any noted viewset changes as desired. We are not responsible for any Hotcakes that get spilled on the floor.
You can always download the latest Hotcakes release and other related downloads from our download page.

Viewset Changes
Viewset changes unfortunately happen with every release as we add new default features, fix bugs, address browser compatibility issues, and so on. As you might imagine, some of these updates are “nice to have” while others are very necessary updates for you too.
In the very least, you should always review the Cart and Checkout updates when there are any. These are two areas that can directly affect how well your store is performing.
