It appears that there has been some rapid development for vbCommerce lately, so hopefully there will be an official release (or at least a release candidate) within the next few weeks. I hope to install this and have it run parallel with the 'credits' we have been earning.
It will be similar to what you have seen before, but with a few extra bells/whistles. I just wanted to post the development link from the programmers here, just in case a release download becomes available, some one can let me know about it:

Promise to keep you all updated.
