Arriving at the release candidate stage of development is significant as it is now considered stable enough for general use. If you have been waiting patiently, now is the time to get your copy installed!

With the help of an ever growing group of quality beta testers we have been able to find and resolve a very significant amount of moderate to minor issues. Since Beta-3 was released, we have resolved 85 reported issues and several dozen unreported issues.

The lead up to RC1 saw a significant amount of progress made on making the administrative panel fully multi-language capable. Completing the included language packs for both the customer facing catalog and administrative panel was a high priority and the results are excellent. In addition, the installer is now fully multi-language capable for easy translation.

michael_s — Mon, 20 Dec 2010 21:17:41 +0000

osCmax v2.5 Beta 2 is now available for download. This release fixes the vast majority of issues reported in Beta 1.

I am extremely happy with the performance of the initial beta, and I am looking forward to sharing beta 2 with you. The response from the osCmax community has been overwhelming and I want to personally thank all the community members that took the time to test the initial beta.

If you haven't tried v2.5 yet this is a great time to try it. I encourage everyone to download the new version for testing, as it is a major change in osCmax and you will want to get familiar with all the new features and changes.

osCmax v2.5 Beta-1 Released

michael_s — Tue, 02 Nov 2010 20:17:57 +0000

Beta 1 of osCmax v2.5 was officially released Monday. This is a pre-release for testing, and while it is quite stable, it is not recommended production use just yet. After a few weeks of beta testing, if all goes well, v2.5 stable will be generally released for production. For those following development, you will notice that the version number has changed a bit from what we had been using. Due to the large amounts of changes to the code, we wanted to reflect that more accurately with our version number designation, thus the jump to v2.5.

We encourage everyone to download the new version for testing, as it is a major change in osCmax and you will want to get familiar with all the new features and changes.
