Hello, X-Carters!

I am very proud to announce X-Cart 5 release. View press-release in our blog (a long read!)

You are very welcome to post any questions or feedback here.

A big thank you to all those who took part in beta-testing of the new platform.

Max this is a long blog post Interesting read though.

Congrats on the release.

Seems like a milestone has been reached! Well done on the release.

Question though - it seems XC4 is gone from x-cart.com - pricing page lists only XC5 now. Does that mean XC4 will not be for sale anymore? Development?
I read the blog post and it did mention XC4 will continue but still wanted to ask....

P.S. Same goes for modules - only XC5 modules are listed.

So is XC4 officially out or....

[RichieRich]

I think they are continuing with XC4 from the blog post,

Will I still be able to purchase a new license for X-Cart 4?

We continue developing and supporting of X-Cart v4 branch. You can purchase new licenses and add-ons for v4 branch under "Products -> X-Cart Classic" category.

I would have waited for the XC5 to have at least what default XC4 has in terms of features before releasing, and that way you would be starting at equal or better, instead of catching up.

Also, I would imagine XC4 will be phased out, although previous posts have suggested it will be supported. I think this is because support is paid for and they are not expecting everyone to upgrade yet when the feature-set is less than what they have.

Yes I read the post and it does say this but the x-cart.com right now implies XC4 does not exists....

I agree

@Max, I appreciate for your gift. This month I celebrate 6 years being almost daily with XC Community. I wish you a successful version, greetings to the team. Hope very soon to have a version 5 competitive in extensions/features/developers/customers with XC4.
