  • :star2: :apple: The element-path component (element-path) has undergone another wave of improvements.
    • The valid element-path now displays a green firefly. The :white_check_mark:
    • We are now highlighting the syntax - just like in the MQL entry form.
    • Use the ALT+q and ALT+Q keyboard shortcuts to switch between tabs.
    • New suggest operators that can be used.
    • The search in elements is now supported by fuzzy-search.

    :information_source: For information on where to work with the new component, see this article.

  • :jigsaw: Alza Marketplace integration formats will now be called AlzaTrade.
  • :hammer: We’ve fixed the converter for the :czech_republic: ZboΕΎΓ­.cz format - we will no longer convert the CONDITION meaning element with the value "used" to the value "bazaar", but leave it with the original value.
  • :pizza: We have slightly updated the specification for Malfini formats.
    • The value that used to be put under the ATTRIBUTES | ATTRIBUTE | ICON element will now be put as the attribute value under the ATTRIBUTES | ATTRIBUTE | VALUE | @icon path.
  • :speech_balloon: We have modified the behavior of the XML file exporter so that XML attributes are now wrapped with double quotes `` instead of single '.
  • :green_apple: We have reduced the amount of warnings generated when applying rules.
    • If an element path (element-path) targets a non-existent value, we will now only warn for element paths that contain conditions.
  • :calendar: We’ve fixed an interesting bug in detecting and comparing the date of the last input feed change when that date is provided by the remote server in the last-modified HTTP header. This could cause a problem with comparing datetimes written in different timezones. This should now be fixed.
  • :abacus: **We have refined the mechanism for detecting the number of changed products on import. Inaccuracies could occur when there was an element without a value inside the XML structure of the imported product, e.g. <VAT></VAT>.
  • :sun_behind_small_cloud: when whispering categories for Kaufland formats, we will now suggest plural instead of singular forms. Thus, for example, we will suggest the form Fertilizer instead of the form Fertilizer.
  • :rocket: We’ve also spent time on optimizations in the XML parsers that Mergado uses to read your input feeds. They are now slightly faster, but most importantly they now require less memory, which (among other things) will ultimately help to make reading larger/more complex XML files more stable.
  • :candy: We’ve gone through piles of text in the Mergado UI and updated it.
  • The UI: In the rules listing for the Set Click Pricing rule, we will now display the correct target CPC element of that format.
  • And other minor improvements and fixes.

Platform :wrench:

  • :money_with_wings: As of 1 Sep 2023, we are changing the ratio of the amount paid out of revenue for paid apps. The new ratio is 10% better towards app developers, i.e.:
    • 80% goes to developers and
    • 20% goes to MERGAD.
  • As part of the phasing out of Appcloud as a repository for apps, we have removed the ability for newly created apps to reside on Appcloud. Existing apps that already use Appcloud can continue to use it.

You may experience minor outages of MERGADA at the times indicated. Thank you for your understanding and patience as we deploy the new version.
