I can see that the features highlighted here closely matching with another product. May it be a business win-win move? Because, these are the features missed out in the current releases (expected by many people 2 years back) mainly at customer end. I thought these features will be well covered in V5. now confusing more esp in making decisions. What suggestions we can give/propose to x-cart customers? Do we have to stop all development & wait until we see a stable release? The customer who spends money on customizations definitely will not be willing to spend more in short span of time to upgrade to the next version. They may have only two choices

1. Wait for 3-6 months to see a stable release. then, start development

OR

2. Start the development with basic design elements (not much customization), assure that it is upgradable easily & cost effective. Upgrade to the latest version in 6 months time.

Obviously, no one is willing to spend more money unless the business is returning more. Since most of the x-cart customers are low-medium sized, they can't afford to allocate budgets every 6 months (few exceptional cases).

Lets wait to hear from others!
