X-Cart 4.5.6 upcoming changes (UPDATE: the next version will be 4.6.0, but not 4.5.6)

x-cart v5.6 should be faster than v2!!!!!!

If you refer to V2, as the famous rocket built by nazi in WW2, we cannot compare it with XC. Just two different products.

Thank you for your suggestions and thoughts about upgrade process. Unfortunately, it is impossible to make the one-click upgrade in v4 without totally architecture refactoring.

However, we already decided to provide upgrade patches between branches, and all the merchants can upgrade their existing stores, but not start new development on new 4.6.0 version

PS. Meanwhile, our new platform - X-Cart Next has one-click easy upgrades. We have tested it on our hosted customers and stores were upgraded successfully. Here is the video:

PS2. Let's back to the initial topic: new features and changes in new X-Cart v4.x version

Maxim,
I do not think you understood my post.
I am not requesting one-click upgrading.
I am discussing last-minute "bring the production database to new version" as it was in all versions prior to 4.5.5
Please re-read my post. I think I speak here for many.
Thanks,
Jeremy

Any idea when in June this will be released?

I think they'll take it live while a bunch of us are in Chicago at IRCE. I predict June 4, 7am, EDT

LOL @ carpeperdiem. Your guess was very close....if only I'd had your crystal ball....I released a 4.5.5 site just yesterday about 24 hours before 4.6.0 was released!

Now looking into whether it feasible to upgrade 3 quite heavily customized sites. Not a particularly happy bunny

Liking of the Ajax modifications coming through slowly and surely. However, I been asking/commenting about features like this over 4 years ago though so been a bit of a loooong wait.

I personally would welcome comments on whether people think it is worth rushing to upgrade especially as all my sites are 4.5.4/4.5.5? Not really sure if I am gonna gain much although one of my sites uses Ideal Comfort and I am being swayed slightly to upgrade to get the responsive version

Bit reluctant to get back on my PC after 8 months of redesign/upgrading etc. It seems like X-Cart time upgrades to release just as I finish.

IMO, responsive does justify a look.
I'm at 4.5.4 (heavily modded) and many things have to fall in place before I'd consider the jump.
i would wait until next week at the earliest -- there will be an assembly of some of the xcart brain trust in Chicago this week (IRCE) and I think we will all learn a thing or three before the week is over. And considering they dropped the release right as many are getting on planes/trains/automobiles, no opportunity for some of the major developers to deal with this... until later in the month. I will look, but I need to hear from my BFF devs before I proceed. remember, there is a new mod architecture that will break all older mods without some edits.
