It is going to fast...

Thank you Andrei. But when is the multistore feature going to be released? Is it comming with the  2.0 version?

I love the pace of activity but I agree with the original poster, the caching issue has really put us in a tight spot as early adopters of the later versions.  We're currently backgrading every application to 1.5 until we get a firm ability to load test the later versions.   They simply don't scale to where we have to have them with the EF caching problems.

I REALLY LOVE the platform though and multistore will be a huge help... I just have to be patient until the EF caching issues are resolved and thoroughly resolved.  Sadly I can't take a performance hit until the testing and debugging is completed but I will help out to get it moved forward.

I hired an outside consultant to evaluate the SQL side of things ($250 an hour... ugh) and he determined the same thing... it was the EF implementation that was bogging us down.  In our case we store images in the DB (looking to reevaluate that), we have 21 variants per product with at least 10 productvariant attributes for each one and 20k+ categories with minimal traffic.

Until the platform can survive that scope of data, we have to sit on the sidelines and watch everyone else have all the fun.

Just an FYI, the way I've been dealling with the changes is to load up WinMerge (a free merge tool for windows) and havei t compare entire project folders. The tricky part is still isolating the modifications youve made to the app, but I've found that sorting by file edit date can help you isolate these files. So normally, you can just copy over all the newer files, but then open and compare the ones you have modified and merge over any required changes. Not perfect, and not super fast, but the best I've found so far.

Much better is to use GIT. When doing a commit it not only shows you only the files that have been changed, but also what the changes were.

Check out this tour I found:- http://nathanj.github.com/gitguide/tour.html

Fully agree: GitHub is the best invention ever for programmers. It is the easiest (and prettiest) way to participate: fork projects, send pull requests, monitor development, all with ease. Hope the NC team will consider it in the future.

Is it practical to use git with a project that is not hosted on git?

Sure it's very practical for managing your local code. Is an absolute life saver. It also effectively allows you to undo and revert to older versions of your code.

I don't think this is the right place for a long discussion on Git. Give it a go and if you need more info / assistance make another post.

No, I think not.

btw: Is it possible send a bugfix / change I made to the NC team? (= pull requests in git)
