Phoca Cart RC question

[Rusty]

Hi!

I read that Phoca Cart 5 will arrive next (?) time. So I guess there will be release candidates, right? If so, is it planned to make this RC versions updatable? Currently an update of beta versions is somethink like "risky". ;) Okay, it's a beta - everyone knows that.

BUT ... currently I build a new website - and plan to integrate PC 5. I want to know if it's possible to install the (soon?) coming release candidate to update it any time. My plan is to create my website - with PC 5 - and when PC 5 FINAL has been published (soon?) I make an update and start my website in the real world.

Hi, all versions are updatable the same way (except, if there are more Beta versions, some SQL update queries need to be updated manually, as there is no option to have update SQL between Beta and Beta).

So if you will install RC version, most likely, there will be no more SQL update and the update to stable should be standard (where there will be some SQL change in RC, I will warn users to update manually if needed).

So there is no problem with updating files and folders, these are automatically updated by Joomla update, the problem could by only SQL queires between the same versions (e.g. Beta10 -> Beta30). Manual update of queries found in 5.0.0.sql file fix this problem easily.

Thanks for your information. Is there any timeframe on when we can expect the first RC?

Hi, in fact it depends on users how now test the multilanguage feature, if there will be no large problems, the RC will be released soon (I don't have any planned task for this version except fixing possible bugs in multilanguage).

What multilanuguage feature do you want me to test?

I can get it all working on my test site in EN, ES, DE, FR, NL. Of course some language files may not yet be up to date to 5.0 but as long as those new features aren't used, there isn't a big issue, I think.
