As many of you know, v1.5.0 is the next major release of OpenCart. As with all software development, it isn't always black and white as to what is or isn't going to make it. A lot of times a large list of features gets picked at until the developers feel enough has gone in. Additionally, some times you realize that in the middle of working on a new feature that something else that depends on it needs to be changed.
1.5.0 is planned to be released as soon as possible, but as we have missed a few of our own expected target dates, we will just say it is nearing completion. Remember this is open source and we use our free time to work on the project, so exact deadlines are difficult to make. OpenCart is also still growing and as it progresses there are some hindsight opportunities where we feel additional unplanned changes need to be made. All of this can delay the project and has nothing to do with poor planning... Unforeseen circumstances are simply that.
So here is a list of what is done and almost done.
