Let's get started now!

Support for configurable products: Products can now be imported as configurable (in addition to grouped) and the ones without size (e.g. bags, wallets, etc) will be imported as simple.
Background product import: Importing products may be a long task, so the 1.0.0 release process products to be imported using Magento cron procedures instead of asking the user to wait for the import to be completed, allowing you to save a lot of time.
