Custom lot weights and the ability to mark lots as featured and have them appear in a new featured block on your homepage. Both features can be accessed from the advanced section of your inventory editor. You will need to edit your homepage to add to the featured block.

Very basic catalogue holes page http://brickowl.com/catalog/edit that will be the basis for adding more ways to find items with missing data or matching up items.
Cart merging, carts are now attached to user accounts. If you create a cart and while logged out, and then login, the carts will be merged and you will be notified with a little message. This means you can create a cart on one computer, and then resume it on another computer. It also helps with quotes.
Store favicons, this is the little icon that shows up on the tab in your browser. If you have a square logo uploaded for your store, rather than the little Brick owl icon showing, your store icon will show instead.

Automatic selecting of the cheaper shipping method when you add items to your cart.
The result of this is, when you visit a store and add an item to your cart, you can instantly see the shipping cost in the sidebar and see how it changes as you add items. You can still easily change the shipping method in the cart or at checkout.
You can now update your Wishlist after you place an order. A form will appear on the checkout complete screen comparing your WishList against your order and you can set your new WishList quantities or delete items from your WishList right from that screen.
Improvements to messaging. Messages can now have a read/unread status which you can change manually.
Messages also have a "response required" status. When sending a message, a user can choose if a response is required. If a response is required and the message is sent to a store, the amount of messages that need a response is shown on the store dash. When a message is replied to either directly by e-mail, or using the messaging system, the message is automatically set to "no response required" as it has been responded to. This is a good way to keep track of which messages need dealing with and which might simply be a "thank you" message that doesn't need dealing with.
Lastly, there is now basic message threading, when you view a message on the website, any messages it was in reply to will be shown.
Option to only show shipping method if it is the only shipping method available. This is mainly useful for the request a quote shipping method. To enable this, edit the shipping method, and click on the new checkbox.
