The list is not final and is subject to changes, but the main focus with this release is to really step up their multi-channel retailing support. version 6 of Interspire Shopping Cart is expected around the middle of the year, new features include :

• eBay selling integration - eBay selling integration will allow merchants to "push" some or all of their products to eBay, which would then appear in eBay search results and listings. You will then be able to process orders received via eBay just as you would those through your store. This will give you access to the tens of millions of people who shop on eBay every month at little to no cost.
• Dropshipping and multiple warehouse support - Dropshipping will allow you to sell online without having to stock inventory or ship orders. When dropshipping is enabled, each product is assigned to a particular supplier whose details (including email address) are stored. When an order is placed, an email is sent to the supplier of each product in the order. The email includes the customer's address, product, quantity, etc. The supplier then ships the item to the customer on behalf of the merchant, who typically pays each of their suppliers at the end of the month.
