Guest Mister Paul Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Hello, I have seen that the 4th version of CuberCart was already betatested… so I am wondering when this new version is planned to be released if everything is OK… If you know, thank you to inform me : perhaps I can wait some time, avoid modifying the version 3 code for a new production and use the 4th version directly… Thank you for your infos !

Guest Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Actually, beta testing hasn't even begun yet. A beta version is supposed to be ready in another couple of weeks, and then it may be another month or so before it gets to the next step. If you want a store operational within the next month or so, build it with the current version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 There has not been an official Alpha release yet. The Alpha team is a VERY SMALL group of highly skilled coders with a LOT of CubeCart experience. Things are still being tweaked daily in preparation of the Alpha/Beta releases. I'm not sure exactly how many people are on the Beta team, but the ones I know about are also very competent and will help fine tune the Gold release to be the best CubeCart has to offer.

Guest Mister Paul Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Thank you for your replies Is there a way to download any pre-alpha release ? Just to know what should be the major improvements ? B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Brivtech Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Thank you for your replies Is there a way to download any pre-alpha release ? Erm, you don't get pre-alpha, alpha is already at the beginning. Beta is what happens next, and in this case, the beta team need to meet a specific criteria, rather than just being people who have an interest in what's happening because of their stores. After that, the final release will be made available. CubeCart 3.1 (Which you are referring to as te fourth version) is intended as an added value package with more features, but consequently, will not be a free version, like the existing cubecart 3.0.x is. Yes, I know there's a copyright removal licensing fee with 3.0.x, but 3.1 wants the money to cover the additional features and work. Personally, I think this number versioning will prove very complicated in the long run, and that version 3.0 should be given a name (with version numbers after), and version 3.1 should be given a different name. Like CubeCart Silver 1.2, and CubeCart Gold 2.7 for instance. But that's not my call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Brivtech, no it really is CubeCart 4.0.0. Part way through the development process, it was realized that what was to be 3.1 was such a major rewrite of so many areas that it was indeed to be a new full major version. And from what I've seen of the code, the version designation is rightly warranted. B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest offthehook Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 How easy will it be to upgrade a store from version 3 to 4? And how might this affect third party mods? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How easy will it be to upgrade a store from version 3 to 4? And how might this affect third party mods? Well, clearly, if the code has changed, the MODs will need to be re-programmed to fit the new code. Don't forget though, that CC 4 (YAY!) comes with quite a few mods now forming part of it's improved functionality. I think there should be an official CubeCart 4 launch party!
