Michael 2004-01-12T23:57:49+00:00 http://www.fishcart.org/blog/archives/000013.html 3.1 testing is refining many small things in FishCart, most of them things related to multiple languages that few will ever see. B is doing an excellent job of testing FishCart in unusual ways. The release has been delayed longer...
