F.A.Q.
Q) How do I get the beta?
A) Make sure your 5.5 store is fully up to date it shows "Software Up-To-Date". Login to your 5.5 admin, expand the Global Settings -> Domain Settings -> Upgrade Settings -> Upgrade Stream change from Production to Beta. Click Update and then you'll notice there are updates available via the streaming update mechanism. Run the Wombat Beta 1 update on your store.
Q) Will this break my store?
A) The streaming update system is designed to not break your store during a failed update, however this is a Beta 1 release and is not recommended to be installed on a live store without first testing on a development copy.
Q) If I use the Beta can I ever get back to the production release?
A) Yes, this beta is specifically designed to allow you to continue streaming updates and ultimately have the production release when it ships.
Q) Is there API Docs or a Limited Source Kit available?
A) Both will be posted very shortly in the developer section of the Forums. We'll post an update here when they're available, it should be no later than Wednesday October 21.
