Functionality Changes

[*] Abandoned carts: The interface was improved.

[*] Add-ons: Advanced products import: The maximum number of features available on the “Fields mapping” tab is no longer limited to 150.

[*] Add-ons: Blog: The list of posts is now split into pages. If you had multiple parent pages for blog posts, switch between those pages with the search mechanism in the right sidebar.
