So... how was it for you darling?

[george]

well, not quite... v10 in general I mean?

Best bits?

Any hidden wee improvements that speed up your day?

Uploading the same or better?

Do snapshots work?

Do tell!

I'm quite liking the new features (when i can get them all working! ), but the general feel of 10 is good, but I've only had a quick glance and sure once i'm fully working in it i will be able to spot some holes.

Speed seems a little faster than v9.0.5 with the speed up tool used and knocked around 3 minutes off a snapshot time. So a definite improvement in my eyes.

I haven't managed to do much beta testing as both my test sites are borked by page 1 of the checkout ...

What it the speed up tool Classix?

[NormanRouxel]

I've tried a few of my add-ons (some simple and a couple of really complex ones) with V10. They were fine and I don't see any problems in getting them all to work. Which is good.

The speed-up tool is a .vbs file which you direct for your site1 folder and you then set an optimised number. I think by default it's set to 1500, but i knocked mine down to about 150 which really improved Actinic's responce time within the program. Apprantly it makes uploading slower, but i've noticed no different. I'm sure there's something in the AUG about it.

Do we have a date for when v10.0.0 is going to be released?

Do we have a date for when v10.0.0 is going to be released?

No, as it's dependent on feedback from the beta. However, we are getting close.

Fraz,
Do you mean this utility I wrote based on Actinic's suggestions? Or is there another one that I'm not aware of?

V10

I ran a complete design through with no real problems, works like V9 as far as adding plugins, javascripts etc they all work the same. Even Gabes Freebie Navigation works with just a modification to point to the correct database.

On Win7 I did have some problems over the install affecting V9 sites but it doesn't seem to be repeatable.

Live stock control works out of the box but could do with extra features, the link to EPOS works OK though I did have a problem again that does not appear to be repeatable. It is possible that the problem may well be related to using the EPos link that comes with 3.1, which is a V9 link, and then changing it to the V10 link software.

Overall V10 has a good feel.

Yes fergusw that is the speed-up tweak for Actinic v9 it's been quite effective in improving our performance since upgrading. Hope it works for you.
