We are happy to announce PrestaShop 1.7.7.0 is officially available!
This release is our biggest yet. More than 1300 merged Pull Requests in 600 days, almost 120 contributors, two betas, one release candidate. Was it worth it? We absolutely think so and hope that you will enjoy using it. By the way, we know this release was expected in early 2020, there will be a build article explaining what happened this year.
New in 1.7.7.0
Productivity
The full redesign and the new features of order pages help merchants to make a better use of their time and to stay focus on their online business.
The redesign of the user interface allows merchants to find the right information quickly while the new features allow a better efficiency on daily tasks and avoid back and forth between pages.
Growth and flexibility
PrestaShop is an international solution and we aim to provide localized features for users worldwide.
The international improvements remove barriers to go international and help merchants reach more customers.
The fuzzy search improves both the user experience and the conversion rate with a new search algorithm that takes misspellings or error inputs into account.
In order to allow merchants to have all the currencies they need to meet the expectations of every customer, they can now add new official and non official currencies (e.g. local or custom) to their store and customize their display per language as desired.
Robustness
We keep improving PrestaShop’s architecture and technology with the Symfony migration. 15 new pages have been migrated (including the order pages), completing almost 55% of the back office migration.
More than 160 bugs have been fixed in the 1.7.7.0 release (vs 110 in 1.7.6.0), including 11 highly expected bug fixes, 5 front office notable fixes, and 5 back office notable fixes.
This new version also brings support for PHP 7.3!
