G’day everybody! And the topic does not lie — the 3rd version of CS-Cart has reached the release candidate stage! Which means that the final release is on its way pretty soon.
The release candidate includes all the features that will be present in the final version:
- Completely new storefront look and feel
- New 960.gs based layout manager
- RSS Feed add-on
- Watermarks add-on
- Import/export subscribers
- Refreshed installer
- Lots of small improvements
Also, CS-Cart 3 RC is already available in Ultimate edition with multi-store functionality. Basically this is the final version, the work to be done further is mostly bug fixing and flaw polishing.

Good luck trying the new release! Let’s make CS-Cart a better tool together.
UPD: When the final release is out, we will introduce a special script to migrate database from CS-Cart 3 RC RC to the final version.
So you can start filling up the database in the RC — you will be able to transfer it to the final version when it’s released.
