The last major new feature I haven't covered in the forthcoming 7.6 release is the rewrite of the Matrix asset. The new matrix is much easier to use and is faster.

Searching updates the compare list in real time to show you what effect your selection had on the list of products to compare. In addition, you can sort the compare list by score, most clicks, most compares, most views, or even ordered by the date each listing was last updated. These sorts also happen in real time.

Both when in the detailed view and the comparison view you can select which features are important to you and hide the rest. These selections remain with you as you browse so you don't have to select over and over again.

You can now dynamically add or remove items from the comparison while looking at the comparison.

Each product is now allowed a list of screen shots, and the screen shots will be displayed using the ukplayer (flash photo player introduced in 7.5 by United Knowledge).

We're in process of retemplating the Matrix now to make it pretty, but in the mean time you can check it out on the beta server.

We have several clients who earn their entire living with the matrix, and many more who use the matrix to do analysis of their competitors on their intranet. While the old matrix took quite a bit of setup, we hope this new version of the matrix will make it easy enough to be adopted by more users.
