What’s new?
New features available with WebSphere Commerce Version V7.0 Feature Pack 6 include dynamic merchandising, starter store enhancements, and enhancements to business user tools, the Data Load utility, WebSphere Commerce search, and store preview.

Features:
The mobile integration has taken a big step forward by using the IBM Worklight platform. There is a reference hybrid Android application included which I’m very excited to take a look at. I’m very happy to see that IBM is streamlining their mobile approach across the whole brand, since this can only have a positive impact on the quality of the software.
There are several improvements for the Data Load tool. Besides supporting CSV files, they now also provide support for XML files for greater flexibility.
To improve data loading time, it is now possible to process a delta files that only contain the latest incremental changes.

This and a lot more is now available. Please refer to the announcement for the full overview of new features and upgrades.
