Opencart recently released a new version i.e Opencart Version 2.2.0.0 and has brought some changes in this latest version. Today we will take a look on some changes which are very important in this latest version.

There is big change in Catalog end i.e “.tpl” file loading in the controller. As in the previous versions we were adding a condition to check the template which is used but in 2.2.0.0 there is no need to check the config template to load the tpl file.
