Hello,

Yes there are changes in layouts, but nothing difficult you could do it. Detailed changes you will find here http://virtuemart.net/news/list-all-news/416

VM 2.0.10 haves many issues get resolved and new features. If you afraid to upgrade make a test installation of your existing website kai upgrade, make the template changes you need.

I assume that you are using template overrides? Am i right?

I do the installation test and i notice some question about the template (i open a topic on template zone).

What i ask is that if ther's some new function that i lost with template override.

Hello,

It depends with what you are using. Normally your template provider should update their custom vm template for you, especially if is a commercial product.
We are aware of the code changes they have been made. The best solution is to check the original vm theme files that comes with virtuemart or compare vm2.0 default themes with vm2.0.10 default themes to see the changes and update your custom template.

New functions normally made on the back end and does not have a lot of changes in the FE, except some features (like back to category button, or unitprice changes). By just updating vm2.0 to 2.0.10 you will have some but results, not all prices been displayed correctly, etc.
