- Dark theme support
- Advanced product batch processing
- Watermark and AVIF support (Supported formats: JPG, PNG, WEBP, AVIF)
- SQL query optimization (Optimized for large number of items (tens of thousands of products, thousands of categories, hundreds of thousands of orders))
- Multilanguage
Supported multilingual features:

In this release, the new multi-language feature needs to be tested the most
Just turn on Joomla multilanguage plugins (or modules) and in Phoca Cart settings turn on multilanguage feature. Then you can enter products and other items in multiple languages.
