New Features:

• Locations select boxes were abolisheded, instead of it now users will be able to enter locations of listings as they want. The script was integrated with GeoNames.org service, so autocomplete fields suggest users to enter locations correctly
• Now listings may have more than one location address, this number sets in level settings ('Locations number') and during listings creation users may add/edit/delete locations addresses
  
• You may set up Map Marker Icons for each category. Also you are able to manage images of map marker icons, they all are in 'themes/default/map_icons' folder. Listing's location according to listing categories attachs map marker icon. Map markers follow inheritence princip, so you may set up icons for upper category - and they will be available for child categories. Look at manual.
  
• Search core was fully updated, initial results of search by location and search by keywords now ordered by relevance
  
• Search by categories moved from advanced search to base search block. Users may search in any number of categories of 1st and 2nd levels
  
• If listing doesn't contain logo image - listing will have default logo image

Also 'place ratings and reviews for anonyms' option available, it provides ablity to place ratings and review for not registered users. Otherwise users have to create an account in the system.
