The osCommerce team is proud to present the latest addition to the osCommerce Network - the osCommerce Development Server - that is dedicated to the development of the osCommerce solution. The main focus of the new site is to foster a development
... [More]
community to participate in the 3.0 development cycle and to prototype ideas for the next generation framework.
The osCommerce Development Server provides public access to the development repository that contains the latest source code to the development version and a complete history of changes to reference on. In addition to public access, the development server also holds a Wiki, timeline, and ticket section that can reference each others data.
We are extremely excited to be able to provide public access to the development repository again after it was suspended to have put all focus from the development team into the new framework. With learning from the experiences gained earlier, the issues relating to the development versions are now handled by an external site that does not interfere with the Community Support Forums.
In addition to the services provided, an official #osCommerce IRC channel is also now available on the Freenode network where real-time based discussions with other developers are held. This improves the communication between developers considerably and remains unobtrusive throughout ones working day.
The current areas of focus the development team would like to attract developers in with the introduction of the development server include:
* Core Framework
* Languages
* Usability / User Interface
* Database Optimizations
If you are interested in participating with the development of the project, please visit the osCommerce Development Server at:
http://svn.oscommerce.com/trac
Please note that although the development repository is available to the public, we do not endorse the use of development versions for production use.
We look forward to the development groups the development server will attract, and the growth of the development team that realizes future project releases.

The osCommerce team is proud to present another addition to the osCommerce Network - the osCommerce Live Shops Directory site - that replaces the live shops section on the support site.
The new site provides a new means to navigate through
... [More]
the thousands of entries by filtering through them at a category level. This allows shops of interest to be quickly found in a specific category that was not previously possible.
There are two views available for the category listings with a normal column based listing view, and a cloud view showing which categories contain the most entries with the size of its heading.
We hope the fun factor is present when browsing through the categories and entries with the new design, and look forward to announcing additional features to the site in the near future.
We'd like to thank store owners who submit their shops to the listings for making such a site possible!
The new Live Shops Directory site can be reached at:

We are proud to announce the third alpha release in the osCommerce 3.0 development cycle and it is now available for general public testing. osCommerce 3.0 Alpha 3 "Spekulatius" is the first release to be made available to the public, where the first
... [More]
two alpha releases were made available to Community Sponsors only.
Alpha releases are made to showcase the new features being worked on and to generalize a version specific for testing to help fix and improve subsequent alpha releases for a final, stable, secure, and production ready 3.0 release.
Although we strive to keep alpha releases stable, the primary intentions of making alpha releases publicly available are for testing purposes only. The framework for 3.0 is still under development and will change in subsequent alpha releases. No upgrade paths will be provided between alpha releases and are therefore not recommended for production use.
Some of the new features that are made available in this release include:
New object-oriented framework (alpha 1)New installation routine (alpha 1)register_globals and magic_quotes_gpc compatibility (alpha 1)New template structure implementation (alpha 1)Search-engine optimizations (alpha 1)Service modules (alpha 1)Checkout procedure cleanup (alpha 2)New language definitions implementation (alpha 2)Updated payment modules with post-transaction actions (alpha 3)Catalog front-end, administration tool, and installation routine combined (alpha 3)XHTML/CSS based default template layout for the catalog side (alpha 3)Multiple product images implementation (alpha 3)New action modules (alpha 3)... and more! (application_top.php has never been so clean!)
The full osCommerce 3.0 roadmap can be seen here:
http://svn.oscommerce.com/trac/roadmap?show=all
We'd like to specially thank the following community members for extensively helping out in testing this release:
Anders Pamdal (Tech2000)
Alan Rogers (AlanR)
Ryan (rkoechel2004)
Frank Heinen (F.R.@.N.K)
The osCommerce 3.0 Alpha 3 "Spekulatius" release can be downloaded here:

We welcome all public interest in testing development alpha releases to help further improve the 3.0 release. All development activity can be seen at the osCommerce Development Site here:

If you experience problems with this release, please create a new ticket at the Development Site with the relevant information. Discussions regarding the development of osCommerce are held in the osCommerce Development channels on the Community Support forums:
