Hello
 
I was informed that Viart 3.5 will be released in in the mid of May.
 
When can we expect the new version of Viart (3.5) ?

I presume that it is being thoroughly tested to be free of bugs?

 
hummmm . . . this is a joke, right?
 
I just discovered that when we wanted some custom work done, that to my mind should have been an issue of altering templates (we wanted to use large images for product lists, not the default small images), viart went and altered a core application file to make the change we wanted.
 
SO . . . now when we update the application we are pretty much locked into having them do the updates ($$$) because this core file has been changed and can not be altered without breaking viart.
 
nice, huh? reminds me of the oscommerce days!

Oh the old oscommerce days, what have you reminded me !!!

hmm, viart team does seem to be out of the scene.
 
I hope they are doing fine

Anyone know what's in 3.5?

Not the slightest of hint !

when?

Not a major upgrade
 
normal features

display tiny images on PDF/HTML invoices and checkout pages
 
it's very good features
thanks

Min/Max quantity limits for products
 
Yeah baby!!

Ibn not major, but at least the software keeps evolving and improving. There are many small developments that are needed - none would excite us but together they make shop life and admin better.
 
Chris

Guess i was expecting some major features
 
But something is better than nothing

For sure I always expect something exciting

so Anjula when is the expected date for Go-Live realise for 3.5

I'm a bit behind, about to upgrade from 3.3 to 3.4 - I like to let the dust settle with microsoft and all other software upgrades. But, I am really pleased at the new features in 3.4 and 3.5 sounds good too.

vic140 you will be delighted when you go from 3.3 to 3.5

when when please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello
 
Viart.. Any news on the 3.5 version ?

today I download new version 3.5 is available , but where is the complet list of changes or news functions ???

Interesting
 
It is in downloads - where normally only new users would go to try Viart: ViArt Shop 3.5 - Free Evaluation Download
 
Would be nice for established users to get notification first -and the change log etc?

Some changes are good. New security role to block access to Upgrade Area... much been needed!

Thank-you for letting us know

I got the email notification of 3.5 being available, but why no upgrade instructions? I have not customized the site other than creating a new style sheet, so is it just a matter of unzipping and copying the new files up to my server? Any database structure changes that need to be done?

I see that dmaui has a similar issue to me regards upgrading - any chance of a clear instruction on how to upgrade - in my humble opinion the manual is not clear!
