It’s been 495 days since the release of 1.6.1.0, the last major version of PrestaShop. And boy have we kept ourselves busy since then!
We are happy to finally release the start of a now path for PrestaShop: version 1.7.0.0 opens the way to a new way of selling, creating and developing with your favorite Open Source e-commerce platform!
Indeed, version 1.7 is a major step forward for PrestaShop, with a number of major features and forward-looking changes: the introduction of the Symfony2 framework, a rebuilt Theme system which brings a new default theme along with a Starter Theme, a brand new Product Creation page, a reworked Modules page, a reorganized main menu, … and all this while having a look at performances! This is what we mean when we say “major version” :)
