There is an old saying: "the steps to making a successful software product"

1. make the t-shirts
2. ship the product
3. figure out what the product specs need to be
4. fix the bugs

unfortunately, X-cart sometimes stops before step #3 is completed.
but it's very close if some of these nasties can simply get sorted out WITHOUT adding new features. Reputations can come and go quickly. If Xcart fixes a small list of long-standing bugs, 4.6.1 can be the best release ever.
