Greetings, Virtuemart Team! Sorry for hijacking this thread, although it seemed rather appropriate to do so. I have been following closely the developing of the new version and I have tried one of the RC2 versions. I am guessing by what I have read that there must be quite a number of changes, database-wise, between the RC2 and the RC3, right (mostly because of the multilingual and the plugin changes)? I was wondering when the RC3 is going to be released. More or less that is, understanding that this is an open source project. Of course I am a yet-another-should-have-started-yesterday-developer of a shop! :) Anyway, I would appreciate a rough estimate! And great job by the way!
