The 3rd and hopefully last release candidate of VirtueMart 1.1.0 has been released. A lof of bugs have been fixed since the 2nd release candidate and performance has been improved a little bit. Database table structure was left unchanged.
The new version allows to use external files (through http protocol) as product download files. The VirtueMart Updater has been improved in this version, so Patch Packages can also be uploaded instead of just being downloaded from dev.virtuemart.net.
You can download the Packages from dev.virtuemart.net. There are Packages available for Joomla! 1.0.x/Mambo and Joomla! 1.5. Just download the one you find appropriate for your CMS version.
When will VirtueMart 1.1.0 go stable?
You might have noticed that the original release plan had to be rescheduled. The team didn't find enough time to fix all the smaller bugs. So we concentrated on the bugs with higher severity.
If most of the smaller bugs have been fixed and no ciritcal or blocker issues are left, we can release VirtueMart 1.1.0 stable. This will be in early April (currently April, 9). No new features will be implemented and the database structure will be left untouched, so you could start creating new shop sites with this version and wait to go live until the stable version has been released:
Please don't use this Release Candidate in Production Sites.
