Update - Emerald v.9.266 Stable

Here is the new version of Emerald 9.266 - Joomla membership component.

Enhance - emerald update mechanism table synchronizer

Enhanced new mechanism to update DB structure. Joomla has it's own mechanism but it was proven that with this approach you may fall into all sort of problems. For example you update extension, your ALTER queries was applied, but then something ant wrong and update report failure.

Version of extension is not updated but DB changed are not reverted. If you try to install the same update again, now you have errors that those columns for DB was already created.

Emerald and Cobalt now users absolutely different approach. We were able to implement it because our building process is automated.

During the build we create DB snapshot and save in form of JSON files.

During each install or update, we read those filed and compare DB according to that snapshot, and we create ALTER queries on the fly. This means that new Emerald or Cobalt may update from any version to latest with very high accuracy of DB be exactly like it should be.

Enhance - action - google

Now google analytics Emerald action uses latest Google analytics.js instead of old ga.js. This gives you number of advantages and better analytics reports.
