Changes

🚀 Going forward

This release is the first pavement of a bigger plan for ElasticSuite. We decided to commit more resources to the maintenance and development of your favorite Magento module. That means, starting this version, we’ll include a completely optional telemetry module to understand how you are using this extension and where to focus our effort in improvement.

We know this kind of announcement can make some uncomfortable, that’s why we want to be completely transparent about what we plan to collect and how, available here.

On the first launch after the upgrade, you’ll see a lightbox offering you the opportunity to support this effort or not. Deactivation of the telemetry service will have no impact on the quality of the module, which will continue to serve you as always.

📦 Functional

Adaptative Price Slider

Starting from this release, we added an adaptative Price Slider (#2371 #2372).
This feature, which is disabled by default, can be enabled through Stores > Configuration > Elasticsuite > Catalog Search > Enable Adaptative Slider.

If enabled, when necessary to support the presence of outlier values in the navigation context (for instance, a very high price amidst a majority of low prices), the price slider behavior changes so that the middle of the slider range corresponds to the median price instead of the price at the middle of the range.

This is particularly useful when browsing a page (category or search results) that contains a high number of products within the same price range, and some "outliers" really far of the average price. Eg : a search result page with 99% of products between 10$ and 20$, and two products having prices of 900$ and 1000$.
