Actinic 10 was released today, and with it comes 4 distinct new features over the last version.
- Realtime Stock Control

1: Realtime Stock Control
With Realtime Stock Control, the stock figures you set will decrease online when some one buys a product from you, and will instantly hide a product when its stock hits 0.
In previous Actinic’s Stock Control was handled on the download and upload of the site, therefore you could be out of stock of a product but the website would not know that.
If you work with Actinic and especially deal with stock, 10 is for you.
2: Recently Viewed Items
Hot off the heals of the Also Bought Items, Best Selling Items and Related Items (introduced in Actinic 
, Now comes Recently Viewed Items.
Anyone who has visited Amazon, Play, most modern eccomerce sites will be familiar with a box that lists the items you just looked at. It is a quick and easy way to navigate back to products you have previosly looked at.
Also a welcome addition to Actinic.
