New Features:

- We created a new Design Setting called "Location Icon". This setting will allow Admins to change the icon that displays in location search fields when the Detect Visitor Location is active on a site.
- We created a new Advanced Setting called "Prompt visitors to share their location automatically on page load?" When enabled, the system will prompt all visitors to share their location as soon as they visit the website rather than after clicking on the icon in location search fields. The "Detect Visitor Locations" Add-On is required for this setting.

When enabled, the system will keep the top or sub category context from the URL so the dynamic filters in the sidebar only show categories related to the category of the current search results page.

- We created a new Design Setting called "Slideshow Loading Method" in order to offer an additional "Pure CSS" version of the homepage slideshow feature which loads more quickly and uses fewer resources than the JavaScript version. By default the system will display the JavaScript method to load the homepage slider. To use this new feature navigate to the Admin >> Settings >> Design Settings >> Homepage Tab >> Image Slide Settings.
