[ANN] ActiveMerchant 1.5.0 Released

[Cody Fauser]

I'm happy to announce the release of ActiveMerchant 1.5.0. This is a
big release that contains 9 new gateways, many enhancements to the
existing gateways and support for Ruby 1.9.

Thanks to all the contributors of the many gateways:

Transax Gateway by Mike Mangino
Merchant E-Solutions Gateway by Zac Williams and Robby Russell
Instapay Gateway by Thomas Rideout
MerchantWARE by Cody Fauser
FirstPay by Phil R
Ogone by Nicolas Jacobeus
Elavon by Jesse Storimer
JetPay by Phil Ripperger and Peter Williams
SallieMae by iamjwc

Another notable feature in the release is support for logging and wire
dumping of requests. This is easily enabled by assigning a logger:

ActiveMerchant::Billing::AuthorizeNet.logger = Logger.new(STDOUT)

Or you can dump the entire HTTP request response by setting a wiredump_device:

ActiveMerchant::Billing::AuthorizeNet.wiredump_device = STDOUT

* Be careful with logging in your production environment.

There are many, many more gateways and patches to get through on
ActiveMerchant's Lighthouse project [1] and github [2] that need to be
merged in, but this is a start.

Thanks again to all the contributors and users that make
ActiveMerchant such a great library.

Holy crap, talk about awesome timing. I'm working on a project for a
client who uses US Bank and I was just about to start coding Elavon
support today!

Jesse Storimer is my new hero.

How can we help to make this process faster and more efficient?

In particular my interests are with the Sagepay gateway and in
particular supporting:
- 3DSecure (since it's pretty much mandatory in the UK now)
- A standardised process for outsourcing the CC number collection, eg as
per Sagepay Server/NoChex and perhaps home grown solutions where the CC
details only touch some remote locked down server which can be PCI
tested separately to the main code. Right now the NoChex path is
sensible, but not documented as a standardised way for gateways to behave.

Thanks
