[seyfin]

We are glad to announce that the new X-Cart v4.5.2 and X-Payments v1.0.5 have been released and are available now for downloading in the "File area" section in your HelpDesk account at https://secure.qtmsoft.com. Also, X-Cart v4.5.2 can be downloaded at http://www.x-cart.com/download.html.

New features & modules:

• PayPal Access - this built-in module enables your customers to sign in to your store quickly and securely using their PayPal login credentials. If you accept a lot of orders by PayPal it should be a very good idea to enable PayPal Access in your store as it decreases cart abandonment. Also, by integrating with PayPal Access, you get instant access to more than 100,000,000 PayPal customers from all over the world.

• iFrame One-step checkout for X-Payments - now your customers don▓t see an extra step to enter credit card details with X-Payments v1.0.5. Credit card form from X-Payments is loaded within iframe in X-Cart▓s one step checkout and everything is PCI compliant. This new feature works in X-Cart v4.5.2 integrated with X-Payments v1.0.5. Using older versions? Upgrade!

Bring us more news like this By the way - change the title of the thread to read 4.5.2

[cflsystems]

Glad to see couple bugs I reported on 4.5.1 to show as fixed for 4.5.2. Small changelog... looks great

[ADDISON]

I would like to get more information about this improvement. As I checked, phpunsharpmask.php has the same parameteres as before for sharpening:

function UnsharpMask($img, $amount = 120, $radius = 0.4, $threshold = 1)

In my opinion after installing 4.5.2 I do not see any changes in good. Photos still have sharp ugly edges. I already provided you a good way for DPI and changing parameters, but QT engineers don't like ideas from outside ...

PHP Code:

[*] 24 Jul 2012, random - Improvement (0124413): Sharpening parameters adjusted to improve quality of auto-generated thumbnail images. 


[JacksmithxD]

Well done, I quite like the view cart, but still need those dam error boxes to be in the centre instead of the top right!

[Eyeglasses Expert]

x-cart updates so quickly!
