Today we released a new version of n98-magerun (1). This is the first stable release of 2015.
Most of the time we spent in development n98-magerun2 but this don’t mean that 1.x branch will get no new features.

Giftcard management

Steve Robbins created a list of commands to work with EE Giftcards

Before any creation of new gifcards you need a generated giftcard pool. This can be done in Magento Admin system configuration (System -> Configuration -> Giftcards -> Gift Card Account General Settings) where you can define i.e. the format of the generated codes.
If you don’t like to change the defaults or have configured the giftcard pool already a handy new command gitcard:pool:generate can be used.

$> n98-magerun.phar giftcard:pool:generate
New pool was generated.

If a pool is available you can create new cards with the giftcard:create command by passing the amount as argument.

$> n98-magerun.phar giftcard:create --website=base 110
Gift card 00JX7J72BGQH was created

Informations about an existing giftcard can be obtained with giftcard:info command.

$> n98-magerun.phar giftcard:info 01ATX1UDLX0T

Show Cronjobs history in your timezone

With new –timezone option it’s now possible to see the cronjob history in another timezone than UTC+0.

Examples:

n98-magerun.phar sys:cron:history --timezone="America/Los_Angeles"

n98-magerun.phar sys:cron:history --timezone="Europe/Berlin"

• #416 Convertstimes to local or specified timezone (by Steve Robbin)

Disable commands by config.

In some cases it’s possible to have a command conflict. One case is if you have two 3rd party modules which define the same
command name (not PHP namespace).
In such cases you are now able to disable a command by it’s fully qualified class name over any config.
This is also useful for providers which install n98-magerun and like to disable some commands.

Example:

commands:
  disabled:
    - N98\Magento\Command\Database\DropCommand

This will disable the db:drop command.
