OXID eShop 4 released!
After two years of a halt with new releases I am glad to inform you that finally today OXID released eShop version 4. As a team member and eShop developer I am really proud of this product. I could tell you a lot about new features and general improvements such as massive refactoring and automatically tested code, performance improvements, ultimate search engine optimization, new Web 2.0 functionality or customizable Look’n'Feel engine. But all the details you can find on official OXID eSales site. I’ll just want to make a long story short and the Big news first. The most interesting and exciting part is that OXID eShop since today goes.. OPEN SOURCE! Yes, that’s right now we are fully GPL, you can download and use our software for free or even join the development process and contribute the product yourself!
As for me personally and the team, we enjoyed a short period of relax after the release stress, raised a few glasses of beer and now we are back to development again. We’ve already got some reports on minor bugs and hope to release the first fixes soon. I definitely promise that you do not have to wait another two years for the next release. As I mentioned before we fully automated eShop testing with unit and acceptance tests. That’s why version release process shrank from a few weeks of nightmare of testing, fixing, testing and fixing again, to a few hours procedure.
