    This means that the action=hierarchy will now generate links to summary views that will show the products of that hierarchy, and its children.

    To restore the old behavior the nochildren=1 parameter was added. However, the URLS generated when nochildren=1 is added to the tag will not be pretty.

    Now supports importing product options properly.

    Now support importing categories with the delimiter in its name.

  • begin removing deprecated functions and functionality.
