Today nopCommerce v2.00 was released for download and upgrade. nopCommerce 2.00 was rewritten from scratch. Our development efforts were focused on moving nopCommerce to ASP.NET MVC 3.0, architecture improvements, further enhancements and fixing bugs. It was also decided not to ship nopCommerce with all that payment modules that were included in the previous versions (about 35 modules). Only some of them are available out of the box. All other payment modules will be available as plugins.

Highlight features

Architecture improvements
Moved to ASP.NET MVC 3.0 (Razor syntax)
Really pluggable architecture (just drop a plugin to the /plugins folder in your nopCommerce directory)
SQL Server Compact support
Code-First Development with Entity Framework 4 (data access)
More flexible ACL implementation
More user-friendly admin area
Added unit tests

About Software Development Blog by Salar Golestanian

These are various Salar Golestanian software development tools and techniques Blog. Some long and some short about the latest topics that interest me about Content Management Systems like DotNetNuke, E-commerce platforms like nopCommerce or other mobile as well as desktop Web Development. Probably the best place for these would have been in SalarO.com, However, some some of these Blogs have less of a commercial or corporate genra, so here they are placed in my personal site. These Blogs help me explain a little more then normally allowed in the 140 character real estate of Twitter posts. They may also have links you to the actual news or site that expands further on my comments.
