The long-awaited version 1.1 of the PrestaShop e-Commerce Solution—now available as a beta release—features many new functions and fixes. The following is an incomplete list of what to expect.

Après 100 jours de travail acharné, l'équipe PrestaShop est fière de vous présenter la version 1.1 beta 2. Beaucoup de nouvelles fonctionnalités et d'améliorations au programme : listes cadeaux, parrainage, commentaires clients... et bien plus encore !

Everyone at PrestaShop is excited and not a little relieved to see v1.0 stable finally see the light of day. It's not easy building professional-grade software from scratch, as any developer will tell you.

Many of our developers will now take some well-deserved time off to live their lives and recharge their batteries. They're tired of fixing bugs and are looking forward to spending more developing new features for PrestaShop.

In the meantime, below is a preview of our international press release coming out on Monday.

Want to sell online, but don't know how to get started? Are terms like PHP, HTML, and CSS completely foreign to you? PrestaShop will soon be unveiling a new offer, an all-in-one hosting service designed to help businesses of all sizes open and maintain an online store in the quickest, easiest way possible.

Our 19th and final pre-v1.0 beta release is now available for download. PrestaShop v1.0 RC5 is the most stable and complete v1.0 release candidate to date. It had better be—the next release will be the official version of the PrestaShop e-Commerce Solution 1.0!

One of the most rewarding aspects of creating an open-source e-commerce solution is witnessing the steady increase in enthusiasm coming from around the world. As we approach the release of our first stable version, PrestaShop v1.0, visitors are coming from countries from every continent and quite a few islands, as well.

With the release of PrestaShop v1.0 Release Candidate 4, the PrestaShop team has taken a big step in stabilizing its e-commerce shopping-cart solution. The final stable version 1.0 is right around the corner!

PrestaShop e-Commerce Solution version 1.0 is close to completion. The third release candidate of v1.0, build 1.0.0.3, resolves many bugs and adds new functionality. It should also prove more stable than the previous release candidates, and it comes with beta versions of 11 new languages. These new features will be available in PrestaShop version 1.0.0.3 (RC3):

Put the champagne on ice and iron your best suit: PrestaShop e-Commerce Solution v1.0 is available for sneak previews as a release candidate (RC). After the final kinks are worked out of this release candidate, version 1.0 will officially be launched as a stable, production-ready e-Commerce shopping cart that is, as always, free and Open-Source.

With the release of PrestaShop versions 0.9.6 and now 0.9.7, the beta phase of development enters its final stage.  There’s a lot yet to be done, but we’re starting to get excited about the upcoming delivery of our official stable version, PrestaShop 1.0.

Much of our excitement comes from the reactions we’ve been getting of late from our terrific user community and the Web community at large.

Within the past month, PrestaShop has been mentioned favorably on well-known software review Websites such as Webappers, FeedMyApp, Killer Startups, and Web Resources Depot.

Get the checkered flag ready. The race to PrestaShop v1.0 is in the final stretch.

Yes, version 0.9.5 is still a beta. There are bugs. But it’s the most sophisticated and stable build so far. To us, PrestaShop software is finally starting to resemble the PrestaShop of all those flowcharts, business plans, PowerPoint presentations, and late-night brainstorming sessions.

However, now is not the time for nostalgia.  The final push has only just begun---the goal is to release our official 1.0 version of the PrestaShop e-Commerce Solution in just over a month.

It’s been a hectic two weeks here at PrestaShop. Every time we thought the new v0.9 was ready to hit the stage, we’d get another show-stopping bug.

On the other hand, the extra time meant that we could add a lot more new functionality than originally planned---thus the version jump from 0.8.5.1 to 0.9.

PrestaShop, a leader in open-source e-Commerce, announced today the release of an important update to its free e-Commerce software as well as the unveiling of its newly redesigned Website, PrestaShop.com.

PrestaShop™ e-Commerce software v0.85 features improved English and French translations, database modeling, and usability, as well as a Chinese translation and new module versions for Paypal™ and Google™ Sitemap. Numerous bugs have also been repaired.
