As there allways will be a new version (unless the project dies), you will wait forever.
Get the current version and do the job. When the new version comes out, give it time to settle down and upgrade later.
The new version will be out when its done...

Like marvmen21 said, check the github for progress but stop nagging.

6 month has been passed from the last release.
Many bugs have been fixed but we cannot get bugfixes.
We will whine until we get a new version with bugfixes!

What bugs do you need fixed? 1.5.5.1 is pretty stable.
OpenCart 2.0.0 is going to be a whole batch of new problems as it is a major milestone.

There is a lot of things happening. and they are getting close to being ready.

Would be great if you could persuade them to incorporate their OC module for stock control.

I would love to test out and make my extension compatible with the next release

We can do a month of beta testing.

Month of beta-testing is an awesome idea!

agreed! one month is great! enough time for us to prepare and detect any bugs.

Sounds like a plan

Now ya talking!

There are few things which are fixed in the new 2.0 version but didnt make it to the 1.5.5.1 branch.
\admin\model\setting\setting.php Lines 37 and 49 UDPATE vs UPDATE (spellcheck) and a missing apostrophe after quote > "' WHERE `group`

\catalog\controller\product\search.php / filter_tag vs tag change

\catalog\view\javascript\common.js Line 71

if ($.browser.version <= 7) { vs new if ( ($.browser.version <= 7) || ($.browser.version == 10) ) {

that is just a quick view of what I have in my developement version.

Really need some help from you lovely people, would 1.5.4.1 to 1.5.5.1 be a straight upgrade? ie. would it affect my current template (custom template) and most importantly the current extensions?

Many thanks
Gary

some minor changes would be required for your template from v1.5.4.1 to v1.5.5.1. It's the header search, and the search page. Don't think there's anything else though

Does anyone have the 1.5.5.1 version? It does not seem to be downloadable anymore.

Strange...perhaps there was some issue with it? Try contacting the OpenCart team and see what they say about it, and let us know.

For now, you can access the latest 1.5.5.x in the branches section of the github project:

https://github.com/opencart/opencart/tree/v1.5.5.x

It may not exactly match your version, but it should be most of the same files (with only improvements, hopefully).

It's back up for download on the main page as well:)
