The big news for August is that we are officially using X-Cart 4.1.8 for all new projects. We spent about 20 hours over the last week cleaning up the core code and adding various enhancements including:

- Streamlined one page checkout
- My Account area
- Cerdmann dynamic image resize with Thickbox pop-ups
- Mostly table-less layout (still used for product display and forms for now)
- W3C compliant code throughout
- Subcategories in columns with icons
- Pre-Login shipping calculator
- Improved registration form
- Enhanced SEO (META data, H1 tags where appropriate, etc)
- Clearly organized admin area

We have uncovered a few bugs here and there, but nothing major and we are confident that this platform is stable and ready for use on live sites.

Lots of new sites to announce this month, but I will post those all together in a new entry later this week.
