You beta watch out
You beta not cry
You beta not shout, I'm telling you why...
Today we've decided to take a leap forward in the development process of Ubercart. We're leaving behind the Alpha days and diving head first into beta testing. We're rolling up our sleeves and looking for bugs to kill, so feel free to post them up. (Heck, feel free to post up patches to fix them, too! 
)
Ubercart is over a year old now and has expanded far beyond our initial short-sighted vision of what the cart should or could be. We now have a tool that can turn any Drupal site into a store selling physical goods, digital goods, and site memberships - three essentials for Drupal stores. There are live implementations of all these features providing invaluable feedback as the code has matured.
At this point, most of the core features are in place, though we have a few left in the works to polish off in the beta phase. You can view a list of our "to-do's" in this thread. Feel free to post up installation problems in that thread, too.
So, go grab the beta and get to testing! (Please remember to backup your code and your databases prior to updating.) We'll accept bug reports/patches here in the forums or at the Ubercart issue tracker on Drupal.org. The tracker on d.o has been opened up temporarily until we find time to bring the tracker here up to speed for easier issue management by non-administrative users.
For those in the know, I'm abandoning the minor version releases (a la 7b, 7c, etc.) in favor of just releasing beta 2, beta 3, etc. We'll try to get releases up quicker during the beta cycle so we can push out 1.0 and start converting to Drupal 6!
