			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The upgrading mechanism in recent WordPress version downloads an incremental upgrade zip file. I couldn&#8217;t find anything online to get the urls, so I dug into the code and I&#8217;m posting here.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The upgrade from 3.3.0 to 3.3.1 was in the file <a title="Incremental upgrade from WordPress 3.3 to 3.3.1" href="http://wordpress.org/wordpress-3.3.1-partial-0.zip" target="_blank">wordpress-3.3.1-partial-0.zip</a>. I&#8217;ll try to remember to update this post as future versions come out. I&#8217;m not sure of the exact file format. I think it&#8217;s -partial-0/1/2 to mark how many minor versions back the upgrade goes.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Personally, I use these files for minor upgrades because it&#8217;s faster, but I use the full download file for a full version upgrade.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My <a title="Fergus Macdonald" href="http://fergus-macdonald.com/" target="_blank">brother</a> has been having some trouble with <a title="Buy kilts, sporrans and highlandwear online" href="http://macdonald-sporrans.com/" target="_blank">his</a> <a title="Zen Cart - open source e-commerce software" href="http://www.zen-cart.com/" target="_blank">ZenCart</a> powered store. Customers couldn&#8217;t check out using PayPal&#8217;s Website Payments Pro, or something like that. Anyway, today, he finally convinced me to look into the problem. So I dug into the code. Wow. Zen Cart is not a developer&#8217;s dream.</p>
<p>It took me forever to get my head around it. Eventually, I tracked down where the issue was coming from, and between Ferg and I, we solved it. I&#8217;m pretty confident we found the underlying cause of the problem. So I whipped up a patch and headed off to submit it. Again, Zen Cart is not very developer friendly. I had to file a <a title="My first Zen Cart patch" href="http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=97762" target="_blank">bug report</a> in <a title="The Bug Reports forum on Zen-Cart.com" href="http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=140" target="_blank">this forum</a> and then attach my patch.</p>
<p>I think there&#8217;s a huge market for an open-source ecommerce platform. Something with the power and flexibility of Zen Cart but simpler to use, install and manage.</p>
