X-Cart 4.1

There has been an awful lot of talk about the new release of X-Cart - 4.1. While it has a number of significant improvements (such as images for each option/variant, wholesale pricing for products with variants and an improved checkout process) we are not recommending that it be used at this time. Essentially it is still in Beta, as there are a number of bugs still present. Typically X-Cart releases their software early and lets the users work out the bugs. Unfortunate, but the way it works.

So, we do not recommend either installing or upgrading to this branch until it is deemed stable, probably a few months out yet. As an example, version 4.0 was not considered 'stable' until 4.0.12, and version 4.1 is currently at 4.1.2. Still a ways to go yet! Plus, we are now on 4.0.19 of version 4.0, so even when a version becomes stable, there are still bugs :)
