Prestashop V1.2 when?


Recommended Posts

Hi there Presta Team.

Sorry to start a new post with this title, The last post V1.1 had a lot of debates.

I've noticed that the rate at witch bugs are resolved is great, updates on a daily basis.
The new 1.1 v has a lots of new functions that i need like air, but is a little buggy and i understand that dew to the lots of new functions.
I dont want to stress you guys, but can you make a RC with the v1.1 with some bugs that are resolved updated?
Or even better in 1-2 month will be available the V1.2?
I'm asking because i hardly wait to use the cms function and all the other good stuff, but want to start my new site with a little cleaner site. I use now V1.0.8 witch is very stable.

Million thanks guys
GOOD WORK

Are you aware that PS is free of charge?
Are you using PS to make money?
Did you ever donate to the PS project?

No?

Then please, be patient because in time 1.2 will come.

If you want to speed up the process maybe you, and others using this free product, could consider a small donation for all the free time the PS-team spents on getting us this great project!

I think its a reasonable question but what TropischBruin states is also correct. I am sure developing Prestashop, with all the good new features but just a barrage of more requests, features etc that the Prestshop people must sometimes feel frustrated.

But, the work is great and Prestashop will, I am sure, become a very good eCommerce script.

However, Prestashop is used for real business sites so there are commercial pressures when things are not 100%. I think the issue mainly is that there is an argument for interim releases. So if there is a bug fix in a core module, file or others, people have the opportunity to download the fix (if completed) to solve their problem. But with the provision of doing their own testing before going live.

I have no idea what issues or resources may be involved is releasing intern versions of fixes, but that would be ideal IMO. Maybe even Prestashop offer a (dare I say it) paid support package which provides access to interim fixes and some support incidents. With magento for example, you pay for support and you pay to be a recognised partner.

PS will not release any in-between-releases fixes for bugs.
If you need a fix you can use de SVN to find the one's you need.

I do believe that PS is releasing fixes to their own payd customers which I fully understand.
What I do not understand is that people making money while using PS are shouting and complaining about small issue or "the long time" to yhe next release without even concidering donating, even if it is just a small amount.

Hi

I think Prestashop is near the perfection for me, I'm a newbie and in 3 month, and now with Prestashop 1.1, i can do the better e-shop than one day i ever dream.

I try a lot of e-commerce solution ( Magento, Zencart, Oscommerce ...), and the best, easiest, most complete, professional and FREE e-commerce solution is ........PRESTASHOP.

Good work, now there remains nothing any more but some detail.

And thank you very much for that.

Ray

ps: sorry for my poor English!

Sorry, I'm new here. What is "de SVN"??

P.S. As soon as I launch my shop and start making money, I'll definitely be donating a fair amount. I greatly appreciate all the support and hardwork the PS team puts into this wonderful project! :)

SVN - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subversion_(software)

You can take from SVN development snapshot and test/use it.
I am happy now with 1.1 and this is enough right now to develop and open my stores. Main store I want to open already February. All needed main features are included to 1.1 and some small bugs - I can handle them.

So lets wait and give PrestaShop team time to polish new version.

But ovcorse - we need to test also SVN and beta versions - to find bugs.

yes, helping with the testing and reporting bugs is the best way we "the users" can help to make our cart better.

I'm normaly against the question if and when we can expect a new release but having worked with PS 1.1 over the last weeks trying to set up a very basic shop has made me drawn the conclusing that I have never seen such a buggy application in a long time!

I'm wondering why anyone would use this version in a production enviremond when the use of many "build-in" features or options is almost like playing with a blindganger (you know, a bom that has been dropped but not yet exploded) waiting for it to explod or comming to the conclusion that the option/feature is not working at all.

So, here's my support to the question of the topic-starter and I ask the PS Team: when can we expect a version that has the current bugses fixt, no new features included so we won't run into yet another long trail of bugses and thus a useless PS for many of us?

Take a look at all the returning and same questions on the forum, the fact that there is no active moderation and the lack of reply's by any of the PS Team (yes, some of you reply, but that is to little).

Don't get me wrong, I like/love PS but for a shopowner as myself the current version of PS sucks BIGTIME.

Just my 2cents.

My opinion is that PS should just come out with a new/stable version and start charging for it. Bringing in funds should allow them to provide much better support on a timely manner.

If you're running a shop you're obviously making money and can afford to pay for such great software. The ones who aren't willing to pay can use oscommerce, or whatever other software you feel is better.

Looks like you seem to be eating some humble pie, you have been very quick off the mark to shoot people down for moaning about bugs, looking round the forum you seem to be very big on the donation front so why not make a bigger donation to help speed up the release of V1.2

If you have been "arround the forums" related to PS you would have known that the PS Team has no interest in speeding up the release on any version nor including requested code even for any (large) donation of money, help or anything.
Do a search on the reason why the whole German community and developmend of the PrestaClient has come to a halt.

Let me tell you that the way PS is going atm looks a lot like the osCommerce community has gone the last 3 years and Mambo before them.

And yes, I shoot people for not using the search first, placing topics in the wrong part of the forums, not speaking English as requested in the main forum, asking if they donate to the PS project while making money using PS and that is because I care. And yes, I donated money, not because I'm making money using PS (as I don't) but the be ahead of people like you complaining about me that I point people to their responsability that a project like this can only exist and grow when enough people donate knowledge, money AND support.

btw. I've looked at you contributions on these forum, have you done that yourself and compaired them to mine. Probably not.......

I would never compare myself with you and never will. i make contributions on here and help out where i can, i am not a programmer or a designer or anything computer related i am just a forum prestashop user like the majority. yes i have donated my advice and have helped useres out in my spare time and donated to the module community with a module i have paid to be developed.

But yes i don't have 889 post as i do have a life away from prestaforum, but hay just 1 helpful post in the forums is a useful contribution.

I think enough siad on the subject now and time to move on this thread is a Call for V1.2

Hers looking fowared to V1.2 ;-)

TropischBruin you should try the current SVN version, its currently at 1.2.01.

I'm using it for the site in my signature, and have to say it is stable enough for me. There a few bugs but nothing massive that breaks the site (SSL still doesnt work too well), and there some new features on it too.

I'm building an production site and I'm not keen on using files from the SVN for that.

Thanks anyway for your help!
