    Default It's time for a new forum!!!

    osCommerce Online Merchant v3.0 Alpha 5
    is out and it's hot to trot!! If they pay attention to some of my glitch and error reporting it will be flawless. And no offense, but it might not need a osCMax version because of its wealth of features within itself!!

    I doubt it, there will always be a need for osCMax... we will just update to add missing features to the 3.0 branch. Yes there will be a 3.0 forum when it gets out of alpha.

    Now, realize that 3.0 has been under development for about 5 years now, and it moves at a snails pace. We may not see a stable release for a long time, so don't hold your breath. In the mean time osCMax is here now, stable and working great.

    Donations will not speed anything up if history is any sort of measure. osCommerce development is sloooooooow.

    The MAJOR issues with osCommerce Online Merchant v3.0...

    - There focus/timeline/feature etc has been changing throughout the last 5 years. (3 or so years ago they had like 3 or 4 out of 12 points still yet to be completed--more than 1/2 done - hopefully to be release soon - they total changed it and like hardly anything was completed..)
    - Code has changed ALOT over time between releases.
    - IS 100% incompatible with all mods/addon/contributions from version 2.0. Most would need a total rewrite.
    - Very few mods/addon/contribution for V3.0 Alpha 5 - have been made for or converted to date.
    - Install base of osCommerce 2.0 code base and all variants (osCMax, CRELoaded, Cubecart and others) is in the hundreds of thousands of active installs. osCommerce 3.0 ???? - Unknown - maybe in the upper hundred or low thousands....maybe. And would be split between the several CVS, MS and Alpha releases over the last 5 years.
    - Convert tool to move 2.0 to 3.0 does not exist. (or even from alpha 1/2/3/4 to 5)
    - V3.0 is still much unproven code (unknown stable?) and is not gerneral accepted by there own community yet.
    - Feature set not set in stone (many things add then dropped then added again over the years).
    - We are not a programing house or have a ton of $$ to convert or rewrite the 100+ features that osCMax currently has that osCommerce 3.0 still does not have.

    Just my point of view.

    Absolutely right, of course Interesting to see how things are developing/or not but that's about it. Only for the certified (mad) amongst us.
