Hello Matt,

2.7.0 is already in beta and will soon be marked as stable.
Unfortunately the page http://www.ttproducts.org/support/software.html 
is a bit outdated. You can also look at http://ttproducts.de .

The major enhancement is the dynamic change of the price, image and text 
if you select another size or color of the product. This is done via 
Ajax without a reload of the page.
The main change is a better structured code.
E.g. if I compare the folders model and view.

tt_products 2.6.0  |    2.7.0
model       16           27 + 10 in subfolders
view         9           24 + 10 in subfolders

So the amount of files for model and view has increased by a factor 2 or 
more. This makes it easier to enhance the extension.

And in 2.7.0 you have more category lists, one for the menu and one 
normal list. The category select box has not been fully implemented yet.

Another change since 2.7.0 is that you can show the article together 
with the product. In 2.6.0 the product has been replaced by the selected 
article. But now you have the ARTICLE marker to show you the article 
merged with the product, if some fields of the article are empty. The 
PRODUCT marker will always contain the products original data.
And you have a related article and related accessory list in the single 
view of a product. And you can have a undefinite amount of text fields 
in the single view.
