[sinobest]

great, i have waited for this stable version more than 1 year already!

[swijaya0101]

Woossshhh ... Finally

[minfinger]

And what is the upgrade procedure for this?

[qualiteam]

It depends on the version you use. See Upgrading X-Cart.

The upgrade packs ==> 4.4.3 will be available in a week.

[cflsystems]

Good to see this release out and lots of the reported bugs marked as fixed. Is it possible to get a report showing bugs reported between 4.4.2-4.4.3 release dates that were NOT fixed? Without going to the bug tracker

Thanks, I'm using 4.4.2 I'm just concerned about having to rebuild the customization in the template.

[cflsystems]

You don't have to - 4.4.3 is a bug fixing release/upgrade so you keep same templates
