The latest update to Avalanche is now available with plenty of bug fixes and improvements. Over the last few months we’ve been polishing the existing code in anticipation of several new extensions still in development.
Most notable is compatibility with Magento CE 1.7.0.1 and 1.7.0.2, which significantly overhauled PayPal payment methods and required some bug fixes. I’m also very pleased to announce support for multistore stylesheets which make it incredibly easy to generate styles from the Avalanche configuration panel. You can now change your store configuration scope, update your Avalanche Desktop design settings and have a stylesheet generated specifically for the website / store / store view.
