  • 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
