We are so glad to announce that we are starting to roll out Version 2 infrastructure. The first step is the all-new, completely redesigned owssoftware.com along with deeply integrated couponsdatafeed.com.   Both sites share the same design, features and have all tools that you need to manage your Deals/Coupons Website and Datafeed.

Some more functionality will be revealed as the Version 2 of the script become available.

OWS Software on Social networks:

So we realized that it has to stop. 1.3.6 is a very good and pretty stable version that could live for a while without new fixes. It is also a version that was a product of rapid 1.x.x. development when we cared more about adding new functionality then about how this functionality fits together. It has to retire. And we have to go back to the drawing board and create a brand new software that will be lightning fast, easier to use, and it should be based on our experience and your feedback from all those years.

So we did that, and we are so proud to announce OWS Software Deals and Coupons Website System Version 2.

Version 2 is a major update and it includes everything.

- It’s a completely new OWS Deals/Coupons Website script that is now coming in four different editions including the free one.
- It’s a new owssoftware.com where you finally be able download new releases, upgrade, and  re-new your support/updates package.
- It’s a brand new Deals and Coupons Datafeed management site where you can manage your settings and subscriptions. Yes, there is a free (well, sort of) datafeed subscription too.
- It’s an amazing “Links to the Affiliate links” transformation service, which will allow you to make your affiliate link from any link with one click right from the admin panel of your site.

.. and much, much more.

There is no release date set up yet, we are at the final development stage and we are doing a lot of testing, testing again and re-testing.

I will be revealing more details in the next several days, so stay tuned. Right now is the very first screen shot of the new OWS Deals/Coupons Website Admin Panel.
