minh Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 I am now on v1.2.5 and looking for an upgrade. My main concern is finding a bug free and fast version. Since 1.5 still very new I am thinking of waiting for all bugs to be cleared out. So, what version should I go with, that is, what version below 1.5 would be the fastest bug free version in your experience? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dumbelo Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Hello! I am using PS 1.4.8.2, I upgraded from 1.3.6. Reasons were that I needed some payment modules and them were made for PS 1.4. PS 1.4 also offered more professional look themes than PS 1.3. The speed was no issue for me, both were fast enough. I like to say that take 1.4 just in this time. There are still too many issues upgrading to PS 1.5. Or wait some time and then upgrade to PS 1.5. I think that in my need all coolest and most needed modules are for PS 1.4 at this time. It is going to change after 1 year, of course all active people are updating these modules to PS 1.5 right now. In my point the fastest and most bug free version is now 1.4.9. I have not tried, but what I have read about it. But speed was not my issue right now, so no experience with this version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhapsody Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 I am using 1.4.9.0 on 3 different shops. One started early with 1.3.2 and was upgraded over time. The 2nd started with 1.3.7 and has been upgraded. The final started with 1.4.7 and uses the newer "1.5 compatible theme". I have tried test shops upgrading all of these to 1.5.1.0 and have decided to stay with 1.4.9.0 until the bugs are worked out of the 1.5 release. Version 1.4.9.0 is very stable. If you use PayPal, you may find the older PayPal module from 1.4.8 works better - that's what I found. Many including me have issues with the newer PayPal module.

PrestaShopDeveloper Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 If you need best performance, try 1.3.7.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clayton29657 Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 (edited) Just to add some input I started off using 1.4.5.1 and only had 1 issue that was in manufs. section the meta title in seo would not over-ride the title name like in products section and was very easy to use thats only issue but since then I have upgraded to 1.4.9 with no issues at all so I would recommend using this version except paypal lol but who hasn't had issues Cheers and good luck Clayton Edited October 17, 2012 by clayton29657 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carolina Custom Designs Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 We find 1.4.9 to be a very good version. Marty Shue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Patron Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 it depends on your business goals if you want to use a mutlship (seo) stragety, then you should go to 1.5. Also lots of cool stuff is going to be written for 1.5 that will not be written for earlier versions, including 1.4. Lots of changes in 1.5 to make back leveling new modules a consideration for developers. before doing anything I suggest: Identify any after market modules you have installed and whether you need them or if so are they compatible with the release you want to migrate to. regardless of which version you choose you will need a new tempalte, it try an upgrade your old template would be courting disaster. me I would go 1.5...it can't be any harder than going 1.2 to 1.4.9... suerte 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many including me have issues with the newer PayPal module. That is good to know. I do need PayPal. Is it possible to use PayPal module from 1.4.8 with PS 1.4.9?

Rhapsody Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Yes you can use that PayPal module with 1.4.9 - I do and it works fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moy2010 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Does anybody else have a new opinion on this matter? I'm currently in PS 1.4.8 but I need to upgrade soon. I've been looking for PS 1.5, but it's very slow for my needs. And 1.4.9 looks nice and fast, but the problems that people have described with Paypal make me afraid :S. I hope that in the next versions, the prestashop team will focus on performance so more merchants migrate to PS 1.5.X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Dalton Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 According to this thread PrestaShop v1.4.9 is — on average — is 321% faster than its predecessor. It also claims the number of PHP function calls has been significantly reduced in v1.4.9 — as compared to v1.4.8.3. This means v1.4.9 functions with much greater efficiency. I assume this would have also been carried forward to 1.5X one would think. http://www.prestashop.com/blog/en/upgrade-your-online-store-to-prestashop-v1-4-9/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cactusman2 Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 It's been confirmed on the French forum by Damien Metzger a few days ago that a 1.4.10 is still on the roadmap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandCraft Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 These ppl must focus on 1.5x and not on 1.4x............what is point in going back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noesac Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 I was about to get ready to upgrade to 1.4.9 until I saw this thread. Didn't think there would be a 1.4.10. I know there's no release date yet but based on past releases, any one have a guess on roughly how long it's going to be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
