One month ago we kicked off the Drupal 7 Commerce Sprint. This sprint is an initiative to work on Drupal Commerce 1.x and contributed projects in the ecosystem.
Drupal 8 is now ready for production use, with RC1 released just recently. This also means that work on D8 contrib is accelerating, and everyone is curious about when they can start their first eCommerce sites.
Ask anyone involved with Drupal Commerce, or Drupal itself what the single greatest thing that keeps them working with the software, and they'll likely say: "THE COMMUNITY".
Commerce Kickstart 2.27 was released today, and includes quite a few bugfixes and features. Recently Commerce Kickstart 2 upgraded from Features 1.x to the Features 2.x API, and we've added some measures to help with the upgrade process!
