In the previous version we introduced a sneak preview of the Brand Rank page. Now, we did a soft introduction throughout the Icecat website, and added some functionalities to the brand rank page.
The graph can now be changed to a graph by:
– Icecat Rank
– datasheet downloads
– unique user platforms
Rank pages have been made accessible via each product page, by adding a stats icon behind each brand name.
To reflect all the verticals we’re active in, the main page now shows an expanded set of Catalog icons:
After a long process of migration, we are finally there to upgrade our PHP version from 5.6 to 7.4. It will give performance improvements and it is now easier to support code and features. Our product pages are noticeably faster now.

Fixed issue and now our coverage report can work not only with XLS but with XML input files as well.
In previous release notes, we mentioned that we added a Brand Partner Code to identify brand authorized resellers. Changes:
