This is a major release with new features:

Both features were originally included in Advanced Localisation but we decided to "move" them in Mercury.

As a direct consequence, Advanced Localisation module has been retired because Mercury took its place. We didn't simply moved features from one module to the other, everything has been redesigned from scratch.

For example IP Geolocation is no longer based on MaxMind database but on IPStack webservice. Same goes for multi-domain functionalities that on Mercury extend to email notifications.

Customers with an active license of Advanced Localisation can receive Mercury license free of charge until next renewal cycle (149 euro / year).
