iTrader now under vbEnhancer’s ownership, here comes version 2.5

Some people already know that vbEnhancer.com is now the place where to look at when we talk iTrader. The goal is to provide support and upgrade for this great engine, because Jason* is unable to provide support anymore due to real life commitments.

So now is the official announcement for the new release to come, as i received more than enough emails asking for this upgrade in the last week, due to a leak on vb.org…

Here is the plans for the next days. I have no deadline for the delivery, because i have to evaluate what is left to be done, as i received Gio~logist addons for iTrader only two days ago and i’m not finished recoding them. They will be fully integrated to the new version, and i will provide a HowTo for the ones who already have these addons on their sites, so i have to write that documentation too.

I’m also reading all the discussions of the official release on vb.org, to find the bugs and the fixes that goes with them, and i’m checking if some requests can be fulfilled with this first re-release. This is hard time as i can not focus more than 2 hours per day on this task, as my family life take over the virtual life of the internet — i know, some of you do not understand real life, but i am.

I have to recode the entire iTrader engine to make it a single-file built. It’s not complicated, but it have to be done once and bug free. I’m also writing the french language file because there are possibilities to use it in any language and i received some requests to have it in french.

So planned like this, i have to calculate at least 15 hours of work, split in about 10 days… so calculate a release to be around March 15th…
