Opencart 3.0.4.1 released

The OpenCart team has officially released version 3.0.4.1, a long-awaited update for the OpenCart 3 series. This release focuses on minor bug fixes and improvements to maintain compatibility with modern environments.

Among the key changes in OpenCart 3.0.4.1 are:

• Bug fix for PayPal Smart Button integration, resolving long-standing issues with payment processing.

• jQuery upgrade, improving security and performance across the admin and storefront.

• A new addition to customer reports: whatismyipaddress lookup has been added to the customer_search_info report for enhanced insight.

• Fixed URL encoding for product tags, ensuring correct behavior in SEO and filtering.

• A fix for an issue where saving a new product with a recurring payment profile could fail under certain conditions.

OpenCart 3.0.4.1 is fully compatible with PHP 8 and runs smoothly on modern server configurations, making it a safe and stable choice for production use.

Despite the release of OpenCart 4, the OpenCart 3.x series remains the most popular and widely supported version, especially in terms of module availability. Thousands of extensions and themes continue to be maintained and developed specifically for version 3, while OpenCart 4 still lags behind in this area.

Since OpenCart 4 doesn't offer any significant advantages over OpenCart 3, choosing OpenCart 3.0.4.1 for new projects remains a good and future-proof decision.
