Version 3 Development Begins — January 1, 2007

Originally a milestone for 2008, the new major release 3.0 of QuadCommerce has been moved up for an anticipated 2007 launch. The new software release timeline is due mainly to a growing client base and more requests for new features. Quadsimia felt the best way to meet our client needs was to incoroporate it in to the new version 3.x code baseline and accelerate the development cycle. The version 2.x series will still be supported and an upgrade will be possible for clients who would like to move their stores up to the new version 3 when it is released. Status updates on QuadCommerce Version 3.0 will be available here on our website.
