Hi All
My quick observations of V4.1.0 from the distribution files are:
1. Pages generated are not XHTML compliant (all HTML tags must be lowercase and must have closing tags).
From the demo site (http//:
www.x-cart.com/demo_preview/ ) given in a previous post:
I am running Mozilla Firefox which has a plugin that checks the HTML validity of pages.
The demo site has 24 errors (serious HTML compliance) and 158 warnings (usually titles for tables and images - not critical but would be nice to make compliant)
Some search engines will not spider pages with errors, so this could become a serious issue in the future.
Here is the link to the W3C validator for the xcart demo:

Also in config.php a Blowfish key is generated during the install process:
Quote:
#
# The variable $blowfish_key contains your Blowfish encryption key automatically
# generated by X-Cart during installation. This key is used to encrypt all the
# sensitive data in your store including user passwords, credit card data, etc.
#
# NEVER try to change your Blowfish encryption key by editing the value of the
# $blowfish_key variable in this file: your data is already encrypted with this
# key and X-Cart needs exactly the same key to be able to decrypt it. Changing
# $blowfish_key manually will corrupt all the user passwords (including the
# administrator's password), so you will not be able to use the store.
#
# Please be aware that a lost Blowfish key cannot be restored, so X-Cart team
# will not be able to help you regain access to your store if you remove or
# change the value of $blowfish_key.
#
# It is quite safe to use X-Cart with the Blowfish key generated during
# installation; however, if you still want to change it, please refer to
# X-Cart Reference Manual or contact X-Cart Tech Support for details.

If we setup a test site and wish to import an existing live database - do we copy the blowfish key across from the live site to the test site (as a new one is generated on the test site when the software is installed)???
Here are the competitor's verifications:
I am just trying to help with QA.
