Header redesign

The header has been reworked. Main features:

  • The burger menu was removed!
  • The search — was moved to the separate overlay and removed from the main bar.
  • Cart, Account received labels

Pagination on desktop

The product list received pagination on desktop. On mobile, it is still loading on the scroll. The stability of both options was improved.

Wishlist share

It is now possible to share a wish-list — specify email, and the link to it will send to the specified recipient.

The new way to request CMS blocks

As per community requests, it was made so every CMS block is requested on its own by just calling:

<CmsBlock identifier="my-cms-block-identifier" />

The request will be made automatically, no more need to add CMS block ids to top-level files.
