Hi Alex,
Do you know if the security bug mentioned in http://forum.x-cart.com/showthread.php?t=71473 is fixed for 5.2.1 beta too? Or was that just a bug with 5.1.10?

qualiteam · #22 03-02-2015, 10:13 AM

Yes, it is fixed in 5.2.1 too.

Wouldn't this be 5.2b2, not 5.2.1b?

Yes I am confused right now. Was 5.2.0 ever released? If it wasn't why do we have now 5.2.1 beta? If you go thought 2-3 more betas before the official release will the 5.2 XC branch start from 5.2.5 or similar?

It is how the X-Cart 5 upgrade/distribution system works: every new version must have a different version number.

That's why there will be a few beta releases having their own version numbers (5.2.0 beta, 5.2.1 beta, perhaps 5.2.2 beta, and so on), and the "final" X-Cart 5.2 release will start from a version number like 5.2.3 or sort of this.

Yes.

Am working on a new customer and even though I have had six 4.x sites am planning on letting this customer be my first x-cart 5.x install.

I need to start the design and am wondering if I start with the latest beta, create the custom design / layout and start adding the ~250 products now...will it be ready for prime time in about 3-4 weeks?

or am I better starting with 5.1.x?

thanks in advance for your opinions,

I am not sure if upgrades are being released for beta packages. But I am hesitant to recommend you start with 5.1.X because so much has changed with 5.2. I am interested in the answer as well. Will beta 5.2.1 installations be able to upgrade?

Hi Folks!

There's a special paragraph about the availability of upgrades in the 5.2 beta announcement:

There will be NO upgrades from 5.1.10 to 5.2 Beta - as long as it's in Beta.
There WILL BE upgrades from 5.1.x to 5.2.x, when a stable release of v.5.2 is available
There WILL BE upgrades within branch 5.2 Beta and from Beta to a stable version

Hi!

I would like to announce that 5.2.1 was the last beta version of X-Cart 5.2.

On March, 24 we will release 5.2.2 version and make it available for downloading for users who purchased an X-Cart 5 license.

Thank you for your time and help with testing X-Cart 5.2!
