This page contains a running history (in reverse chronological order) of the updates and enhancements that have been made to uStorekeeperTM. It is intended to keep you informed of the latest improvements and help you to decide when you want to upgrade.

Note 1: When downloading an update, you will always download the latest version. (So you don't have to worry about getting intermediate updates ... you'll always get the latest update.)

Note 2: When upgrading, you typically need to just replace your current uStorekeeper CGI scripts with the latest CGI scripts contained in the uStorekeeper download file. Use your current uStorekeeper CGI scripts as a model when answering the configuration questions in the newer scripts.
