AAAARGH! Where has downloadable products gone!? I cannot see it on the features or roadmap pages. Please tell me you guys haven’t scrapped it?

@Dave Smith - Downloadable products is expected after the production release at this time. It has certainly not been scrapped.

I found a typo / error in your list. 

“ Print invoices and packing slips (packing slips? “

I think the person making this list does not know what a packing list it.......

I know it’s hard to tell but any idea of ballpark date for when downloadable products will be supported? If it’s still a possible feature should it not still feature on the roadmap at least?

@Roy. I just checked the List of Features and it looks excellent. Magento is definitively going to rock the eCommerce scene.
Congrats on the great job.

Really looking forward for the Production Version.

Saludos.

Greven,

Thanks for pointing that out, it was actually a note from when we were going through and noting elements we had left off the list.

You are welcome.  We are very excited about having picking list and RSS new orders list.

@Dave Smith - Timeframe - not yet. Downloadable / Virtual products are at the very top of our list. This is a very important feature and we hope to have it available as soon as possible.

@SeoMexFan - Thanks as always for the great comments

@Roy - That’s all I need top hear! Magento is shaping up very nicely indeed and this is the icing on the cake for us. I have had a proper read of the feature list and it’s looking great.

Thanks for the updated feature list.  I see that the oscommerce import is still on the roadmap but it’s not on the feature list.  Can we still expect this before the production release?

@peter83 - yes. osCommerce import is a go at this time.

Will the osCommerce import tool also import from CreLoaded?

When is expected the next release?

Update of the features was timely and looks neat.BTW why are some of the features highlighted in yellow?

@srinigenie - The list is obviously extensive. We wanted to highlight some of the more unique features Magento has to offer to those that wish to quickly glance.

@Garrone - Soon - in the next few days.

Ok - I feel a bit “ignored” there…

Will the import tool for OSCommerce also import CreLoaded sites since the CreLoaded plateform is based off of the OSCommerce platform?

@Baybee - once the OSC import module is done. we can test it on CRELoaded.

I cannot guarantee that OSC import will work exactly for CREL but I am sure very minor tweaks will be needed for it to work.

Thanks

Thank you, Yoav.  There are database differences between the two, but I have full confidence the Magento team will work it out.  That is all I need to start getting ready to do a complete transfer of both my stores.  Thank you again!

Not to nitpick, but isn’t that graphic next to “shipping” on the top of the page stolen from apples mail.app??

@markf - It’s probably part of the iconset we used. We don’t steal graphics.

Im sure it wasn’t intentional, but that is apples mail icon.  check for yourself…

Sometimes icon sets are public domain and can be used by anyone.  So maybe apple is using a public domain icon set too…

@markf - many of the icons we use across the site were made by the same designer that contributes to Apple projects. They are available for purchase by the entire web community.

can’t wait for the production release, but could you tell me please:  when can we expect USPS and Canada Post integration?  is that on the roadmap at all?

also...are customer emails HTML based or just text based?  i.e.  are the emails sent to customers when they place an order, and also status updates HTML-based emails?

The old feature list/roadmap had non-JS checkout as part of it and now I find that missing.Is that intentional?

Hello Roy,

My partners and me were planning to start building the new website around Magento beginning of April. Downloadable Products is a absolute must though! We can manage to postpone the project for a month, but if Downloadable items are not supported by then we will have to move to another solution. So, Roy will Magento feature Downloadable Products by the end of April or should we start looking for another solution right now? A feedback is much apprieciated!

Cheers, Pädy

@Pädy - We are unable to publish any dates for specific functionality. As soon as it is ready we will it make publicly available. You can always choose to develop this on your own if you are in a time crunch.

@srinigenie - The feature list is what can be expected for v.1. The roadmap will be updated as soon as we have time to catch up.

hi RoyRubin.....not feeling any love over here. 
are the emails html-based?  and is Canada Post integration available, please?

@ Roy: I guess we can delevelop this ourselves, but we will probably run into problems as soon as we want to update to a new release - but I’m not the developer. Anyway, I know it’s the usual business not to communicate time tables for feature updates, but this very case deserves an exception in my humble opinion.

@mjeebu - See my comment(s) above - they are relevant to your question. The transactional emails are HTML based.

@Pädy - As soon as we have a better idea we’ll post it.
