Re: X-Cart 5.5 Is Out! What's New?
 

I was told this is due to licensing - new way or something. So your current XC5 license works for XC 5.4. and earlier. You have to ask them for a new one for XC 5.5 and replace the existing one in order to be upgrade.

Besides the previous PHP Release questions in this thread, the other related question, is; What Database Releases will XC 5.5.* run on?

Here: https://support.x-cart.com/en/articles/5258766-x-cart-tech-stack we have MySQL 5.7+ AND/OR MariaDB 10.2+ listed, but in both cases the + is totally non-specific and therefore, it is pretty meaningless.

Can we have an Official X-Cart Confirmation of what the LATEST release of MySQL and MariaDB is fully supported by XC 5.5.* ?

Re: X-Cart 5.5 Is Out! What's New?
 

It works on MySQL 8.0.31 so I would assume latest MariaDB as well. From my very limited test mainly the installation and few pages load

Re: X-Cart 5.5 Is Out! What's New?
 

Thanks for that first hand knowledge. FWIW On several previous occasions, X-Cart's compatibility with recent MySQL releases has been in advance of the updates that include recent MariaDB releases. That's why X-Cart need to be a bit more open and accurate with the details, instead of the non-specific, vague, generic PR stuff that they seem focused on. So on that note @Anastasia Zhavoronkova Can you check and post the correct, official answer please?
