Default Re: X-Cart 4.4 beta testing

I'm going to stop with the customization of my current version.

Hi Lori -
Your questions seem to indicate you are just getting started with X-Cart. I think you need to set your expectations for a stable, production v4.4 appropriately. If your time schedule is open-ended, that is, you are not under the gun for a production release of your site, then it may be okay to wait for the v4.4 expected August release. Also, if you plan on being an early adopter of 4.4 for production a site, it is advisable that you are skilled with X-cart. History shows us that the early versions need a little time to get stable, so it is a bit risky for a live shop, unless you have some experience at debugging any issues, applying patches and working well with QT and people on the forum in case there are any major problems for your implementation. Just take the risks of a using a new version into account with your schedule and skill level so you don't get into an difficult situation. If you need v4.4 quickly - it is advisable to be working really hard with the betas, so you are familiar with it and have tried implementing the mods you will need.

(To get an idea of history - look at the bugs forum at the activity near the 4.3.0 and 4.2.0 releases. QT are getting better each time, and the quality of this beta test may be higher - but just be aware of the risks.)
