First of all, let me wish a very Happy New Year 2008 to all our customers, partners and vendors!

After weeks of endless testing (and lots of caffeine), the Znode team finally released the next major version (4.4) of Znode Storefront today. This release will be available through the znode.com website as well as all our channel partners worldwide.

As I had mentioned in previous blogs, this release includes a highly versatile promotions and pricing engine that will beat the socks out of any storefront out there! Using this framework, you will be able to handle complex promotion scenarios easily.

Another interesting enhancement is the ability to handle "Digital Assets". For example if you were to sell software or MP3 files and include licenses for use with each sale, you can use Znode Storefront for that.

We also inched closer to full fledged internationalization by adding support for multiple currencies. This is closely tied to the ASP.NET locale settings and is quite extensible.

There are also several other infrastructure enhancements like enhanced exception handling, enhanced diagnostics, integration testing support and more..

Please feel free to check out the Release Notes to see all the features that have been added in this release.
