Magento CE 1.4.2.0 veröffentlicht

Major Highlights

• Integration der TheFind Extension (momentan nocht uninteressant für Merchants im deutschsprachigen Raum).
• Der neue Magento Connect Manager Verison 2.0 wurde von dieser Version noch ausgenommen. Wird erst in Magento 1.5 integriert.
• Upgrade Hinweis:
  Diejenigen, die Magento Version 1.4.2.0-beta1 oder 1.4.2.0-rc1 über Magento Connect installiert haben, sollten 1.4.2.0 manuell neu installieren, da diese die alte Version des Magento Connect Managers enthält

Die Verbesserungen und Änderungen geben wir direkt auf englisch wieder.
