Updating OSC 4.0

[nordicsolution]

How easy will it be to update OSC 4.0 when a new version comes?
Will the built-in update work? 

I have been using a different system and their update does not work at all so you have to manually update everything. They also don't seem to care about fixing it.

I hope it will be easy and I also hope it will be easy to update multiple sites quickly (maybe like via SSH command line) without breaking anything.

We will be looking to have an import tool to move data from osCommerce 2.x to v4, and later other systems. Will keep you posted!

Thanks, I meant that I have been using a non OSC system (opencart) and their update function does not work at all. That's why people don't update their systems so often. I really hope the update will work from 4 onwards.

Sure, it is known as a difficult task, but as V4 is very modular, we are working on making it possible to update it in the future in an easy and straight forward way

That sounds great. I can't wait to try the new version.

I hope its also available via command line, including the ability to install it, then you can automate the install and update process (something Softaculous needs as well)
