Khioen Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Am new to prestashop and I have been using 1.5 ver. since october last year. Now I want to create a new shop. I was wondering if I use the alpha version 1.6 as it is now, will I still be able to upgrade when the new one when it comes out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indus Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 No you cannot upgrade from alpha to final. You will be offered to upgrade from 1.5 once the final release is out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dh42 Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 I am pretty sure that you can upgrade from the alpha to the final version. It has always been that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khioen Posted January 9, 2014 Author Share Posted January 9, 2014 Please one answer. This is getting confusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indus Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 With the utmost respect to Dh42, are you saying you should upgrade from an alpha full of nasty bugs to a final release, and does prestashop officially offer such an upgrade? This is disastrous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dh42 Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 I never said that. The alpha is for test and playing with only. It should not be used for a shop that you want to make live. But at the same time, the upgrade should work with the alpha versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjamin utterback Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 The debate about whether or not you will be able to upgrade from Alpha or even Beta to the Stable release is not the main issue here. PrestaShop's stance, as with every other software company who releases testing versions is as follows, The Alpha, Beta, and any RC's are SOLELY for testing purposes. No store should be developed on any of these testing versions and no live store should ever be upgraded to the testing versions. We have stated this time and time again and once more we will say it. We never have and never will support our merchants using a live store on any testing version, or support our merchants who are developing a live store on a testing version. I'm sure Lesley would agree. Is it possible to upgrade from Alpha to the Stable release, I don't see why not, it's open-source. That said, it is a huge oversight on any merchant or developer who believes that upgrading a testing version to the stable version is good practice, it's not. Don't do it.
