Released new version of the popular ecommerce solution - oscommerce 3.0 Alpha. As soon as I found this news, I have visited their site, and downloaded the contribution, then installed on my localhost, to study “new born” oscom. Sure it is much more improved, mostly in design, new template system, which allow you to manage the layout of the site form one file, besides it is CSS3! automatic thumbnails for products pictures, seo firendly urls work fine, improvement in code, definetly seen..

Look and feel of admin area changed totally, however is some non usual for me. But the major problem is you can not use that Oscommerce for a commercial site though. It is not upgradeable, and who knows how long it would take while old contributions would adjusted to this new oscommerce version, maybe months, or years
