We are exhibiting and sponsoring Web 2.0 Expo New York this September — WebAsyst is a silver sponsor of the exhibition.

Web 2.0 Expo NY will be held September 16-19th, 2008 at Javits Center, New York (show on map). Our booth number is 1529.

Looking forward to meeting you there!

Finally! We have launched completely renewed and united WebAsyst and Shop-Script website. I apologize for 2 days delay (we planned to release on August 19th).

Shop-Script PRO and PREMIUM software products are not on sale anymore — these products are now replaced with the new and more powerful WebAsyst Shop-Script. Website explains all details.

WebAsyst Shop-Script has been updated today.

Design themes got better — we fixed various visual defects (e.g. font sizes, paddings).
Few bugs fixed in product image management and upload form.

WebAsyst Installer now offers manual installation option for servers which do not allow automated scripts installation due to system restrictions.

On August 19th we open our new www.shop-script.com website which will be fully dedicated to WebAsyst Shop-Script.

At the time of the new website release WebAsyst Shop-Script beta period will finish and software will be officially available on sale. New version is already being used by many customers worldwide.
With time WebAsyst Shop-Script will replace Shop-Script PRO and PREMIUM versions.
We will continue to support PRO and PREMIUM in the future, but these products will no longer be available for sale starting from August 19th.

Special offer is valid through August 18th — Shop-Script PREMIUM is $100 off now! It’s a great opportunity to get both Shop-Script PREMIUM and WebAsyst Shop-Script at the discounted price.

Today we have released a newly enhanced WebAsyst Issue Tracker.

New features:

1. New view added to the issue list – « group issues by projects». This allows you to display issues linked with different projects in the same list. The feature is useful for those who work on several projects at a time and wish to see all their issues.
2. Now you can add issues not linked to any project.
3. Added “Add Comment” feature. All comments are linked to issues and accessible in the issue’s  history.
4. Add, edit, and forward issue functions have been enhanced and work much faster – they do not require reloading of the issue list anymore.
5. «Issues» tab has been added to the WebAsyst Projects service. This makes it easy to switch to issues related to a project without leaving Projects service.
6. Project manager can now manage assignments directly from the Add Issue form. It is convenient when you want to assign a new employee not previously assigned to this project – it is not necessary to switch to a separate form to set assignments.
7. View «Table» has been eliminated. Now there is one view for the issue list, but with some customization options. Table view is incompatible with our further interface enhancements.
8. Some interface elements have been changed:
• Removed buttons «Add Issue» and «Customize Workflow», which were located on the panels with task description in the issue list.  Now there is one big button «Add Issue» at the top of the issue list. To customize workflow use «Workflow…» button in the toolbar
• Eliminated paging of the issue list. Instead we show only first 30 issues that satisfy a selected filter, and then «Show more…» button if  all issues do not appear
• Removed capability to hide/show issues for tasks and displaying of «empty» tasks which do not have linked issues

WebAsyst Shop-Script has been updated today.
