Just a couple questions though. Is there a lot of changes to the core and template system? Just wondering how hard it is going to be to convert older templates to a newer template layout/features. Will older templates still work once the cart is upgraded? (As in everything except the template).
Though I do realize that (The last I heard), it is still some time away, I'm just curious
Keep up the good work!

But will it be possible to use affiliate module with 1.4.8?

With past experience as a gauge the opencart dev team does not do backports of new features, so the answer would be no.

all the old payment, shipping, module, order totals will work.some peoples templates will need to be altered though.

1. The strapline in the dummy logo says "Yours" instead of "Your".
2. Is there a choice of category menu orientation? e.g. horizontal or vertical menu
3. The hyperlinks in the second-level nav are a bit hard to read (may need to make a darker blue).
4. I think the "Home" link should appear in the primary nav instead of the light grey bar. You could then also remove the text link from the header.
5. Why are the PayPal, VISA and Mastercard logos in the fat footer as well as the bottom left corner of the page?
6. Are the social networking icons configurable/extensible? i.e. Can I choose which to show, or add more via the admin panel?
7. Can the information pages be displayed in feature boxes and/or primary nav as well as the footer? I think "About Us" is a fairly important link - too important to have buried at the bottom of the page.
8. Where is "Advanced Search"?
9. I think the "Checkout" option should be a button to increase its visibility.

Any chance of a response to these comments/questions?
