Product Lists with Multiple Facet Filters
now supports Product Lists that filter the results based on multiple facets. Before this improvement, only one filter was possible at a time. With the ability to filter the products by multiple facets, editorial users can now tailor their custom landing pages more precisely (e.g. narrow down the results by both color and price). Editorial users are still able to manually place specific product teasers or other content in the resulting list to gain more control.
Depending on the commerce vendor, some facet values can be combined via OR-queries (e.g. color = red OR black), while some facets only allow a single value to be selected at a time. Wherever possible, this configuration is automatically retrieved from the commerce system. In the case of manual configuration, however, the vendor does not offer this.
The total set of available facets and their values is always retrieved dynamically from the commerce system via the Commerce Hub Adapter.

Support for Additional Image Formats
A new generation of digital image formats, including JPEG 2000, JPEG XR, and WebP, have emerged in recent years that offer superior compression and quality characteristics compared to their older JPEG and PNG counterparts.
For example, using WebP, webmasters and web developers can create smaller, richer images that make the web faster. Its developers claim that WebP lossless images are 26% smaller in size compared to PNGs and 25-34% smaller than comparable JPEG images at equivalent SSIM quality index. ()
As a result of these performance enhancements, many customers have been requesting that CoreMedia provide support for these new formats to help them meet their quality and performance goals.
With this update, developers can enable the CoreMedia Headless server and the Content Application Engine to deliver images in a variety of new formants, including WebP, by means of the improved Image Transformation API.
The resulting websites and applications will deliver a better end-user experience in terms of high-quality images, improved performance, and SEO scores.
Greater Visibility of Potential Content Issues
CoreMedia’s Content Validators play an important role in maintaining high quality content repositories by highlighting potential inconsistencies or errors. However, since the warnings are only visible when the content tab is open, it can be easy to forget about these issues once the user has moved on to other tasks. In some cases, this has led to site inconsistencies and poor-quality content.
The CoreMedia Studio now offers a new filter that provides a persistent overview of the healthiness of your company’s sites. This filter allows users to search for content with issues based on their severity. Users can even create Dashboard Widgets and Search Folders - in combination with other default and custom filters - to target the most important parts of their content repository precisely.

Content Issues Filter
With this new tool, editors and site managers can save valuable time and improve content quality significantly by checking for content issues in a highly visible interface.
By keeping the overview of issues in the repository and fixing them before they get into production, the content quality and the overall end-user experience is improved.
