Re: X-Cart 5 beta testing
Finally you've made the first step for a new XC5. Great to hear again the name "X-Cart 5". I could say what Neil Armstrong said when he put his foot on the moon surface. Hope in the next two years to get this version in its best shape to make everybody look behind to XC4 just as a old stage.
I am testing it and I can say it is easy to customize, clean code, good speed (CentOS 6.4). Very difficult for me because I need to understand the API and Fley, but in time I can make this effortless. I do recommend it. The only concern is about missing XC4 modules, custom code, forum heritage. But if you could get them in the next versions, the switch is smooth. Please keep an eye on XC4, its customizations and modules.
Good luck and get testing!
P.S. If I swap Apache for ngix + APC (php) + Varnish(http), can I speed it up more than it is now? Did you test some server configurations for providing a point of view about the best speed we can achieve?
