I have one question related to Magento new version its good for security point of view and other points which are mentioned in the release notes but there is no much enhancement related to front end performance.
Currently I have Magento 1.4.2 on my ongoing project for which client complain me performance are slow for end user perspective, to overcome this issue I tried to test Magento 1.8 performance for similar test cases but I don't even find any performance boosting result like in category page I get same loading time in both Magento 1.4 and Magento 1.8 and also when I import 10,000 product and then check performance for loading time but there is no effect.
Can any one highlight why Magento 1.8 is better than Magento 1.4? It's obvious the newer version is better than old but I want to convince my client with some convincing point.
It seems Performance refers to loading speed of magento website. To make faster loading , You can follow this link
There are no any updates with magento 1.8 related to performance. In this version
mangeto team focused only on
a) Functional improvment -shopping cart, checkout, content management system, and product import and export.
b) Tax calculation - Value Added Tax (VAT) and Fixed Product Tax (FPT) calculations for the Magento admin, invoices, and credit memos.
c) Security
I have magmi installed on my domain, magento in one folder fresh install. Oscommerce is in the root. I dont even have the slightest clue as to where to start with magmi! Anyone done this before?
See if this MAGMI WIKI helps you...

I spent quite a while trying to import an osCommerce store into Magento 1.7.0.2 and wanted to document it somewhere relevant.
The official migration tool seems like the best free option, but it was clearly never completed or properly tested (to be fair, it is marked as Beta).
It's still possible to get it to work, with a lot of tweaks. I was able to import categories, products, orders and customers using the method in my answer below:
Install the extension from http://www.magentocommerce.com/magento-connect/oscommerce-migration-tool.html, but then upgrade it with the most recent version (from 1.5 trunk) in SVN:
svn co http://svn.magentocommerce.com/source/branches/1.5-trunk/app/code/core/Mage/Oscommerce/ Oscommerce
You should then be able to run your import following these instructions:
Back up your database
Copy all your osCommerce product images into media/import (and make them writable by the webserver)
VERY IMPORTANT: Change the language for the admin interface to English (United States) - or no products will appear even after a succesful import. You can switch it back afterwards
Set up your import profile (from System > Import/Export > osCommerce)
Click on Run Profile on the left, and then the "Check Requirements" button
If you only have one store/website, the Website Code field will be "base".
Good luck!
I used Magmi to import products, categories and imagesto magento.
It works pretty well and is very quick.
Imported 6500 products in under 2 mins. If you do that with the official importer it takes hours.
I like the possibility to import via a sql query that defines the datamodel instead of working with csv files.
There are some strange effects if you have utf8 chars but if you are english only, you are fine.
In response to dearlbry, (I can't comment for lack of points, however..) I would like to point out as a helpful warning to anyone using this method, that it will send 'subscription success' email to customers as they import from OSCommerce. This can be extremely frustrating and cause a bit of a rift with customers if you're not careful. More info here: enter link description here
Has anybody used this import extension before? http://www.ayasoftware.com/content/how-import-configurable-products-csv-file-magento-system#attachments It seems to work pretty good, apart from it's not importing images for me, it's really annoying :-(
If anybody has had it working or can help in anyway I'd be really gratefull.
Meant to say using Magento 1.6.1
We've now binned that extension, and simply just manuall uploading the products.
