eCart5 new features?

I saw a short feature list on the announcement page, but I was wondering if there is a more complete list? I dont want to flood the forum with questions about it before it is released, but I am excited to use it! Ecommerce is the mainstay of my business, and eCart is at the head of the list.

Just a couple questions. I often dont use the wizard, and copy the code from a previous site as a template, because the wizard is so tedious to fill out.
especially the database fields part, as I have a standard table format that I use for all my sites. Will this information be saved in a preset as well, so I dont have to enter which field is for customer name etc each time I build a site?

Also, will validation toolkit validation (and error messages) be build into the checkout pages, or will we have to add validation after the pages are created?

As is everyone else, Im sure, I cant wait to try the new version!

Thanks
Tom

We willl be introducing the concept of presets and automatic bindings and even database table creation from the checkout wizard. That will probably work real well for your first scenario.

We did not do validation in this release. We plan on implementing Form Builder in the next eCart update, but couldn't fit it into this one.

The first beta, that we sent out today, will not have a way to save orders and order details table presets. This will be available in the next beta sometime later this week.
