ANN - Satchmo 0.9 Released

[Chris Moffitt]

I am very happy to announce that Satchmo 0.9 is now released.

Satchmo is an ecommerce framework built on the Django framework. It is designed to be robust and full featured out of the box but allow developers flexibility to modify the store to fit your unique needs.

This release is a major milestone in our path towards 1.0. This release has been in active development for over a year and includes many enhancements, new features and bug fixes. You can read the full changelog here -
http://www.satchmoproject.com/docs/svn/release-notes-0-9.html

Some of the highlights:
- Major reorganization of the Satchmo components to make it more modular
- New US SST tax module
- New Canada post shipping module
- Google checkout v2 integration
- Migrated to using Sorl Thumbnails
- Upgraded Authorize.net to ssl v3.0
- Improved currency display in the admin
- Many bug fixes and performance improvements

From a project perspective, this is the first release since our migration to bitbucket for code hosting and distributed development support. We have also made multiple updates and improvements to the documentation system to make it more complete and easier to navigate. All of these changes have been instrumental in getting Satchmo on a solid foundation for this release.

Thank you to everyone that has contributed to Satchmo and I look forward to finalizing a 1.0 release.
