We finally released a new version of openSteam today.

This release introduces some major enhancements of the checkout- and order-process, like shipping-rate calculation, tax management and an ActiveMerchant integration for credit-card payments.

New Features:

• Taxes: define taxes or tax-groups for products and regions
• ActiveMerchant integration
• PaymentMethods: use implemented payment-methods or implement your own
• ShippingRate: define rates for products, regions and payment-types.
• PDF-Export for invoices (using the excellent prawnto plugin)

For a full list of changes please read the CHANGELOG, and if you're curious what to expect in future releases, please visit the Roadmap at our homepage.

In future posts we will try to describe some of the new features and their implementations in detail.
