Over the next few weeks, focus will be turned onto new features in the next version of Freelancer Panel (either 1.5.2 or 1.6.0, depending on various factors). The past few weeks a few individuals have discovered flaws in a few payment modules. I have been working with them to get these fixed. There also have been various other bugs that have been fixed. Now that the majority of these issues have been taken care of, new features can begin to be focused on.

One of the main new features will be a plugin system. The plugin system will allow for new features to be added into the software through some basic PHP code. The basic implementation of this will be available in the next release, and perhaps with a module. And over the next few months, the functionality of the plugin system will increase, which will allow for more advanced modules to be created. I am very excited about this, as this will allow everyone to customize FP even more to their liking!

Products will also be getting a slight overhaul in the next release. Clients will have the ability to leave reviews and rate products based on a star-rating system. This of course can be turned on/off on a per-product basis through the ACP.

I am very excited about the next release (either 1.5.2 or 1.6.0). As the status of it changes, I’ll be sure to blog about it!

As always, if you have a feature suggestion, then please let me know! I’ll be more than happy to listen and hopefully add it to the product.

Hope everyone has been doing well!
