Sneak Peek at Magento 1.1
Roy Rubin over at Magento discussed what we can expect in the upcoming Magento 1.1. On top of that list are performance improvements with as much as a 40% improvement in the catalog and sales modules. Enhancements and new to Magento 1.1 will also include:
- Admin UI improvements: Changes will be made to only load data when necessary, improving the responsiveness of the Admin Panel.
- Web Services API: A highly requested feature which will make integrating Magento with 3rd party software much easier. The API will be added for the catalog, customers and sales modules.
- Virtual Products: These products which do not require shipping information and/or inventory management add to Magento’s product types.
- Customer Defined Product Options: This functionality will allow customers to define text, images, etc. for products.
- Bundled Products
- Improved support for EU and Canadian taxes: The tax rules and functionalities for EU and Canadian taxes will be added to the Core
