Is there a date when 4.2 we'll be announced as stable version for production store? I've got this message on help desk:
"The 4.2. version will be available within 2-3 weeks only."

could be reffered as Greater London, not Outer London, that is just simply made-up

East and west Sussex are considered separate counties.

A man can endlessly enjoy 3 things: fire sparkles, water purl and UK counties discussion

I have disabled Counties for the UK in my store, they are not needed for Postal addresses by the Post Office any more.

Although replacing the drop-down box with a text input looks like the right decision, we have decided not to do so. X-Cart users can quickly remove the counties (if needed), but can't quickly add them.

There will be no add-on skins for 4.2; only the Light&Lucid skin supplied out of the box. The reason is that making a css-based skin is too time consuming - about a couple of weeks per one color scheme.

If you will go ahead and make the first color layout in CSS, I will be glad to cut your development time for the additional colors to 2 hours for each additional color

I followed all the procedure but still can't download 4.2 beta. It only shows me upgarde upto 4.1.11. I tried different status for licenses.

Hi,

I downloaded and I am testing X-Cart 4.2 beta.

I want to report a problem related with htmlspecialchars() function.

When you add a new language to X-Cart that uses encoding other than iso-8859-1 (which is the default for English), you see warnings like the following. I did the test using Greek language with encoding set to iso-8859-7:

Warning: htmlspecialchars() [function.htmlspecialchars]: charset `iso-8859-7' not supported, assuming iso-8859-1 in C:\x168\htdocs\x420b1\include\templater\plugins\fu nction.meta.php on line 128

OR

<b>Warning</b>: htmlspecialchars() [<a href='function.htmlspecialchars'>function.htmlspec ialchars</a>]: charset `iso-8859-7' not supported, assuming iso-8859-1 in <b>C:\x168\htdocs\x420b1\include\templater\plugins \modifier.escape.php</b> on line <b>60</b><br /> Javascript (Definitive Guide)

Based on PHP's manual (http://gr.php.net/manual/en/function.htmlspecialchars.php), htmlspecialchars() function supports only the following encodings:
ISO-8859-1
ISO-8859-15
cp866
cp1251
cp1252
KOI8-R
BIG5
GB2312
BIG5-HKSCS
Shift_JIS
EUC-JP
and, UTF-8

I wonder, how difficult it is when X-Cart 4.2 is released to support UTF-8 encoding instead of ISO?

Thank you!

Xplorer... I can't post in bugs section but I should bring this to your attention, I have taxes based on my invoice/wholesale cost that applys to instate purchases... and some states have a cap on their excise.

This pertains to cigars/tobacco, but there may be other industries
