New Features<\/h2>\n

Rails 5.2<\/h3>\n

Spree 3.6<\/strong> is now compatible with Rails 5.2<\/strong> compared to 3.5 which used to run on Rails 5.1. Thanks to that you can start using all of the new great features available in Rails 5.2<\/a>.<\/p>\n

ActiveStorage<\/h3>\n

Active Storage facilitates uploading files to a cloud storage service like Amazon S3<\/strong>, Google Cloud Storage<\/strong>, or Microsoft Azure<\/strong> Storage<\/strong> and attaching those files to Active Record objects. It comes with a local disk-based service for development and testing and supports mirroring files to subordinate services for backups and migrations.<\/p>\n

ActiveStorage was introduced in Rails 5.2<\/strong> and with Spree 3.6<\/strong> release it’s the default file storage option. We’ll still support Paperclip until Spree 4.0<\/strong> when it will be removed from Spree core.<\/p>\n

Ruby 2.5<\/h3>\n

Spree now works with Ruby 2.5<\/code>, 2.4<\/code>, 2.3<\/code> and 2.2 (>= 2.2.7)<\/code>.\u00a0Ruby 2.5<\/strong> introduces many new features and performance improvements<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Multi-store management<\/h3>\n

We’ve added an ability to manage multiple stores in one Spree instance of your application. Thanks to that you can easily create stores per region \/ language \/ currency. This feature will be enhanced in the next releases.<\/p>\n

Extracted Analytics tracker into a Universal Extension<\/h3>\n

Our goal is always to keep the core Spree lean and flexible that’s why we’ve moved all of the code of Analytics Trackers<\/a> to an Extension which you can use with any Spree 3.1+<\/strong> version.<\/p>\n

Spree Analytics Trackers<\/a> extension currently supports Google Analytics<\/strong> and Segment.com\u00a0<\/strong>(Google Tag Manager, Facebook pixels, Google Remarketing, Mixpanel, Kissmetrics, Redshift, and over 200+ other tools and vendors<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Admin Panel views exporter<\/h3>\n

You can easily copy all of the default spree admin Panel into your project with just one command line:
\nrails g spree:backend:copy_views<\/code>
\nWe hope will make backend customization the Admin Panel a lot easier.<\/p>\n
