Well, a busy week. So, the bad news first: no release before Christmas! I know I said it would happen, but there is just so much time.

On the other hand I did get some stuff done. The forum continues to be a source of inspiration and discussion and that is great. One of the results of those discussions is an experimental haml plugin that I just checked in.

It’s far from being perfect, but it works.

Also, I refactored the code from init.php and store.php, although not all is used yet. However, it allows to use the mvc code standalone, without any zen cart stuff involved. Pretty much all that is still missing is session handling and then the mvc code is ready to be used for *any* application! (I am sure there are still hidden dependencies, but nothing major).

If you are interested in the templating discussion please have a look at haml and voice your preference…

Happy Christmas or whatever you may celebrate this weekend.
