We have released CS-Cart Store Builder and Multi-Vendor On-Premises 4.16.2. Find out more about what it includes in our blog:
As always, it will take a couple of weeks before the upgrades become available to everyone. Until then, upgrades be available in small numbers, on the “first downloaded, first upgraded” basis. So if you don’t see the upgrade in the Upgrade Center, it might be worth checking again in a few days.
P.S. This new version hasn’t been rolled out to Multi-Vendor No-Code yet. But because we handle all upgrades for Multi-Vendor No-Code, you’ll just find these features in your cloud marketplaces one day
Hello
When I updated 4.16.1 - 4.16.2, I couldn’t open the store again. Restore from backups is not possible. I was able to fix the store by installing the latest from the server. This update is problematic.
The PHP 8.0 is supported starting from Multi-Vendor/CS-Cart 4.15.1, though PHP 7 is still perfectly fine.
Higher PHP versions do work, but they’re unstable - we recently tried setting up a store using PHP 8.2 and we were experiencing a lot of errors.
Yes, PHP 8.2 isn’t supported or recommended yet. In version 4.16.1, we first addressed the support of PHP 8.1. Hopefully, it CS-Cart 4.17.1 we’ll be able to call 8.1 a recommended version, and we’ll be able to address 8.2. later on.
As far as I know, we haven’t encountered such issues during the upgrade testing (if we had, we wouldn’t have released 4.16.2 until that was fixed). So the issue might be specific to your store or server configuration. That’s something that our Customer Care could troubleshoot.
Do you need any kind of specific functionality to be released in 4.17.1?
The jump between 4.15.1 and 4.16.1 took over half a year, so I think there’s still a lot of time left for 4.17.1 development.
We release versions like 4.16, 4.17, etc. about 2 times a year. This puts 4.17 somewhere in May - July. Can confirm that PHP 8.1 is being worked on as part of 4.17.1. And PHP 8.2 is planned for 4.18.1 (even though further versions are harder for me to predict).
Is there a way to reduce css and js, load only the necessary things, if possible, load the css and js according to the html structure of the page to be displayed, it is not recommended to load the entire css for a page only the basic rendering method copy
By “someone else” I meant other CS-Cart owners. We initially provide upgrades in small batches. It means you and any other store owners might see the upgrade in the Upgrade Center at some point. But if all upgrades are downloaded, the offer to upgrade disappears until the next batch is available.
