Hello, X-Carters!
We would like to announce
beta testing of X-Cart v4.5.0 (ex 4.4.6). Feel free to download it from your personal HelpDesk account -> File area.
Note: we do not recommend using
beta versions for running live stores. If you want to use 4.5.0 for a live shop youâ–“d better wait till the official version is released.
Should you find any issues related to the new functionality please post them to our open bugtracker at
https://bugtracker.qtmsoft.com/
We decided to release new X-Cart version as 4.5.0 and not as 4.4.6 because we added several new major features and did a few serious changes to the existing ones. Here is the list:
- All background/on-site/merchant hosted credit card payment methods removed due to PCI-DSS requirements (see the list of removed methods below). You can still use them via X-Payments software.
- Two new built-in skins
- New demo products and related data.
- USPS module completely revised and updated to meet the latest USPS APIs requirements.
- UTF-8 is now supported
- TaxCloud module integration for better and more accurate tax calculation.
- Updated shipping methods. Weight limits corrected for the USPS First Class methods
- Protection from SQL injection attacks has been improved.
- Completely removed the subscriptions module.
- Updated a bundle of CA Root Certificates.
- Below payment gateway integrations updated: PSiGate, DIBS (cc_dibs.php), Authorize.Net SIM, Paypal, Checkout by Amazon, ProxyPay3
- Removed some unused CSS classes and obsolete language labels
- International product descriptions are now stored in separate tables (Multi-language stores performance optimization).
- Socialize module update - Pinterest available.
X-Cart 4.4.x users are welcome to contact us for a patch to cut all the background methods off from their shopping carts in order to meet the PCI-DSS requirements.
