Prestashop 1.6 incorporates [Bootstrap 3.0](https://getbootstrap.com) , [FontAwesome](https://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/), [Sass Compass](https://compass-style.org/), and [D3 Data](https://d3js.org/) to provide an efficient, responsively designed ecommerce storefront and back-end. Using feedback from merchants and developers, the administrator dashboard was re-designed to use real-time updates in order to provide critical and timely information. Additionally, in response to requests from the merchant and developer community, Prestashop 1.6 was built with no core changes to help with making the upgrade transition as troublefree as possible.
