X-Cart forums

Finaly after months of hard work we consider X-Cart 4.0.x robust enough to announce it stable and preferrable version and recommend it for usage in live ecommerce shops. The long work of software stabilization is finished and we would like to thank all customers who helped as to bring X-Cart version 4.0.x into its current state.

Here is also copy of newsletter that was sent today to all X-Cart customers:

I. X-Cart 4.0.x goes stable
We are glad to announce that from now on we officially announce X-Cart 4.0.x branch stable and recommend X-Cart version 4.0.12 or higher for building live online stores. However this does not mean that older versions are abandoned, their support will be substantially continued.

II. X-Feature Comparison module
Also we would like introduce new X-Feature Comparison add-on module for X-Cart. This module helps your customer to choose the right product from your online store. When selling complex products with numerous features it is quite easy to stun potential customer with profusion of technical details. With Feature Comparison module customer can easily place products side by side in one table to compare their characteristics in one glance.
Please visit http://www.x-cart.com/feature_comparison.html for more information.


III. Three additional color schemes for the "Neon lights" template set released.
Now the "Neon lights" template set is shipped in four different colors.
You can quickly and easy change look & feel for your X-Cart store.
Please take a look at using different color schemes for better match the nature
of your business http://www.x-cart.com/skin_template.html?skin=0

I'd have to second that. I just went live with our new store http://ride.aerostich.com and there are no glaring problems, just mostly places for improvement.

I've taken 220 orders since friday and no problems to report.

BTW it's actually 4.0.10 that we are on.

Now that is some good news!

Way to go guys

Love to hear those news and I would love to upgrade, my question is just if we now can expect some kind of tool to upgrade a 3.5.14 (being the latest stable) database as well? As I would hate to type all that information in again, even if it would be by copy and paste.

An other thought, is it OK with the license to install and run a none public version of 4.0.x alongside 3.5.14 while preparing for the switchover? Better ask before doing somethings that might violating the license :P

Jump upgrade patches from 4.0.0 - 4.0.11 to 4.0.12 and database migration tool from 3.5.14 to 4.0.12 will come in a short while.

Its been discussed numerous times and it is well known that it is legal to run one non public development copy of X-Cart per each license that you have.

a database only patch from 3.4.latest would also be a welcome addition and any other earlier ones for that matter.

this would help bring many people all up to the same place
