changelog to be added

[rocky]

Hello, X-Carters!

X-Cart v4.5.5 has been officially released.

You are welcome to download it from our official web site and your personal HelpDesk accounts.

4.5.5 upgrade packs are also available.

[carpeperdiem]

Congratulations to X-Cart on 4.5.5!

I went through the changelog and started looking at the many changes...

First big question -- Is X-Payments also going to have a revision to coincide with 4.5.5? With the changes to the xpc, does this require xpayments to also upgrade?

2. I see many diff files that simply change a file's commented out header/modification date, with no edits to the code. Why is that? Honest question?

I will continue to read the changelog. More to come!

Yes, you need to upgrade X-Payments to v1.0.6 if you want to use it with X-Cart v4.5.5.

[ADDISON]

What about some "must have" changes to X-MultiCurrency I reported since October 2012? Did you leave them for the next version?

I will revise this release according to the issues I reported to the bugtracker. Hope I will not find them again in this release.

[RichieRich]

It noted CloudSearch was updated to version 1.1.0, but cannot see what was actually updated. Looking at the post, it looks like just the version number?
