ActiveMerchant 1.0.0 Release

This is just a quick announcement to let you know that we have released ActiveMerchant 1.0.0 and created a new homepage for the project at http://activemerchant.org. The homepage has links to all relevant information such as the source code, documentation, mailing list, gems, etc.

ActiveMerchant currently supports the following gateways:

Authorize.net, eWay, LinkPoint, Moneris, Psigate, PayPal Payflow Pro, PayPal Website Payments Standard, PayPal Website Payments Pro US, PayPal Website Payments Pro UK, TrustCommerce, USA ePay, Chronopay, Nochex, and Banca Sella GestPay

What does it look like?

creditcard = ActiveMerchant::Billing::CreditCard.new(   :type => 'visa'   :number => '4242424242424242',   :month => 8,   :year => 2009,   :first_name => 'Bob',   :last_name => 'Bobsen' )

if creditcard.valid?

  # Create a gateway object to the Authorize.net service   gateway = ActiveMerchant::Billing::AuthorizeNetGateway.new

  # Authorize for 10 dollars (1000 cents)   response = gateway.authorize(1000, creditcard)

  if response.success?

    # Capture the money right away     gateway.capture(1000, response.authorization)   else     raise StandardError, response.message   end end

Please note that we have switched the svn repository over to Google Code and there will no longer be any more updates to the old repository. We will leave the old repository in place for now, but we will be taking down sometime in the near future.

In the future we also hope to beef up the documentation, including some tutorials, so that new users can get started more quickly.
