Der Chefentwickler von osCommerce, Harald Ponce de Leon, hat heute auf Twitter (twitter.com/hpdl) überraschend bekannt gegeben, dass die seit vielen Jahren angekündigte Version 3.0 von osCommerce noch in diesem Monat erscheinen wird. Bei osCommerce 3.0 handelt es sich um eine Neuentwicklung mit einer komplett neuen Codebasis an der seit 2005 gearbeitet wird. Harald Ponce de Leon beschreibt die neue Version von osCommerce selber wie folgt:
“We are extremely proud to countdown for the release of osCommerce Online Merchant v3.0 and to cause a disruption in the Open Source and e-commerce community. Our future goals are based on this new foundation that will continually be improved on to meet the demands of tomorrows store owners and developers. We are one of the first general Open Source solutions to move to PHP 5.3 and now stand tall at the front in utilizing todays standards and technologies.
This is the result of a lot of hard work based on community feedback; not to try and achieve the best feature-packed e-commerce solution in the market but to remain focused on a solid core framework that can be extended by store owners and developers to meet unique requirements. This was a huge success with over 6,400 Add-Ons being provided by the community for the v2 series which we aim to take even further with the next v3 series.”
