I update the blog on the main OpenCart site semi-regularly with Development status.
Please check today for the full 1.4.8 change log and expected release date:
http://www.opencart.com/index.php?route ... &blog_id=9
Its really a lot of small but tedious changes. It should not break most mod integration. For some of the new module positions, if a custom module doesn't support it, then it should degrade to the normal sidebox position.
v1.4.9 will be very few new features and mostly just last minute bug fixes to make it the most stable
v1.5.0 will be the next major release but that has not been planned out.

Depends on you version but I assume that 1.4.8 comes with an upgrade script like 1.4.7 did.chirashi wrote:if you are already running a a store, can you just update, or do you need to reinstall for the new .8 version?

So I lost 2 days over the stupidest typo that I couldn't figure out. I finally figured it out now so there is a 2 day delay but back on track. Just finishing up the order edit and module positioning and it'll be ready to go. Couple more days

OC 1.4.9 release date goal is August 7th.
What's in so far:
Fixes:
- Improved featured products query to make all status checks and return all pertinent data to match latest and bestseller queries.
- If no shipping, tax zone set to buyer's payment zone instead of default store zone
- Session uses full path for session to prevent session sharing
- Removed unneeded products variable from admin order.php
- Removed error on empty language file
- admin/controller/catalog/review.php double text validation cleaned up
Added:
- Feature Module uses category-style selector for products to allow for large stores
- Extension custom install/uninstall hook. Now when you install/uninstall extensions, if they have their own install/uninstall functions, they will be called.
- Sort by model
- Featured products uses cache
- Image class supports proper extension name on resize (instead of forcing .jpg) and now supports transparency for png and gif.
- Extensions will "self-clean" if the files are deleted without uninstalling the extension first to prevent "Error: could not load xxxx/xxxx" when the module files no longer exists.
I will be trolling through the bug thread as well and add all appropriate bug fixes there.
I am currently working on Paypal Improved that includes itemized listing and PDT support. As well as support for all IPN order updates and additional security checks
Finally I will redesign the Admin order edit/add to clear up confusion and support options and update totals.

Does this list look manageable? or do you not need sleep?
We have our most recent addition to the family, a 3 month old baby girl, so there are nights when I know what you meanQphoria wrote:I have 3 baby girls... I don't sleep!

Does this mean extensions needs to be updated to work with 1.4.9?- Extension custom install/uninstall hook. Now when you install/uninstall extensions, if they have their own install/uninstall functions, they will be called.
Great!- Extensions will "self-clean" if the files are deleted without uninstalling the extension first to prevent "Error: could not load xxxx/xxxx" when the module files no longer exists.
Looking forward to it.Finally I will redesign the Admin order edit/add to clear up confusion and support options and update totals.
Can I mention 2 additional changes in the Admin:
Settings -> Localization -> Languages: Change the view so you can see the Status (enabled or disabled).
Better would be the option to enable/disable it as well without having to go into the language settings as well.
Same goes for Settings -> Localization -> Currencies and Settings -> Localization -> Countries
And while your add it: Do the same for all Extensions
