Default Re: X-Cart 4.4 beta testing

So I installed the beta. No problems with the installation at all. A lot of admin is the same, just different interface and a way to display it. But I also see a lot of improvement. I hope store front speed is improved. Ajax checkout page is a nice upgrade and I don;t think it will look too bad with X-Payments (2 page checkout with compliance is still better then what we have right now). I did not have the chance to test it yet but having Quantum Gateway iFrame integrated by default is a huge plus for me (I use that gateway). I don't know if I will be using it or when but it's still a big deal right now. Didn't see X-Payments listed (X-Connector is not in as a module) - I guess is not included in the beta. CSS is still a problem for QT I think. main.css is almost 70K. And again the use of floats and 200% widths for the main area. Isn't there a better way to make it work? So again we will have to do a lot of modifications to the css file. The buttons are still the same nightmare. Flyout menus didn't work - the second level goes underneath the other info on the page (IE). File structure has been changed - I hope for good. XML site map worked pretty good. There are a lot more modules now included by default - I like that. Almost looks like QT is trying to get rid of all the modules as a separate software and have them included in xcart by default. This may lead to price increase in the future with v5 but we will be getting more for the money. That's about it for now.
