About the next Shop-Script update

We are often asked about the release date of the next Shop-Script update, and we always say that we have no ETA. We do not promise any release dates because such a forecast would be incorrect. What we can tell you for sure is that there will be no update within the next several months. Is this a bad news? Not quite so.

The development of Shop-Script is currently in full swing! Our inability to provide you with any ETA is caused by the fact that we are working on the kernel of the system – it is what most of our efforts are now focused on. What to expect from the new version:

• modular system: improved module- and interface-related structure of the software;
• developer documentation: it is being compiled at the time of development (how to create custom modules, how to add own components to the design editor, how to assign user event triggers for different actions performed in the store, etc; of course, such custom modules and functions will be retained during software updates);
• updated design editor with the design themes export/import feature;
• improved performance: the number of SQL queries and the speed of opening main administration screens have already been reduced in the current development version by 2.5 times;
• export and import of various store data: all these functions will have a module-based structure.

We are currently implementing integration of Shop-Script with WebAsyst Contacts (more info on this will be posted later in this blog).

Working on the new Shop-Script is a real joy – we are creating a conceptually new product. Changes are visually not so obvious, but in the core of the software they can be compared with a 2-liter V4 engine being replaced with a 6-liter V8!
