Default Re: X-Cart 4.5.5 released

Folks as it is now XC4 it is very hard to wait for new versions. I come again with the proposal to keep a DB of daily changes. In this way XC users can buy a version for example 4.5 then keeping this branch updated using this DB, daily - weekly - monthly (but is up to them). If something bad is going around they can revert so easy. You have full control to your updates, can you see?

If I would be QT I will release a branch like 4.5 than pull you all taking the updates from this DB. If QT releases a new version 4.6 they will create a new section inside the DB for this version. No more dots and dots. In this easy way, time is not a problem, waiting 2 - 3 months for issues to be solved. Once the Maintenance team is dealing with an issue they post it public. Everyone can use it immediatelly.

Why is so hard to do this? Believe me this solution will work like a charm and will improve once and for all functionality for this procedural programming architecture which is present in XC4.
