Better display options and improved backend GUI
This is the most interesting feature of the new core. The new options for categories are set globally in the VM configuration and can be finetuned in the category itself and/or in the menu item of the category. The old frontpage view "virtuemart" won't be developed further, but it will still work for updaters. Besides, the GUI enhancements in the backend will help to reduce clicks and provide a better overview of the store. Ajax loaded categories and javascript outsourced into libraries do increase the performance when browsing the administration area.
Improvements under the hood
The system design is more consistent and more follows the object caching strategy. This allows to load a full object, even we just need the name. VirtueMart 3.2 also uses the new handling of the JLanguage object that allows to handle different languages in one page call, for example different email languages.
Friendly update
Updated systems are set into the legacy layout mode by default. In case a shop uses a system plugin working with VirtueMart, it may cause problems with a multilanguage shop. In this case, ask the plugin developer for an updated version. For layout changes, it is highly recommended to use the new layout options.
