osCommerce have announced a new release titled osCommerce Online Merchant v2.2 Release Candidate 1. This is primarily a bug fix release for the 2.2 series and will be the last release made before the 2.2 release series is finalized. They are currently in the process of certifying the payment modules included in this release which will be the only change for the final osCommerce Online Merchant v2.2 release planned in the coming weeks.

No major features have been introduced with this release candidate but does include the following changes:

* Over 25 bug fixes and improvements
* register_globals compatibility for PHP 4.3+ servers
* Visa PCI conformance of accepting credit card information on the checkout confirmation page
* Public titles for payment modules so the name of the payment service provider is not used as a payment method
* Maximum number of product quantities that can be added to the shopping cart (by default 99)
* New login routine for the Administration Tool
* New summary modules to display on the Administration Tool index page
* New web-based installation routine (backported from 3.0)

Now is a good time to upgrade your osCommerce store if you are running an earlier buggy and unsecure version of osCommerce!

Aptcode will of course offer upgrades to any store owner running the 2.2MS2 version of osCommerce at a low, fixed price.
