Saleor v2.5.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2019-04-09 // about 5 years ago

  • 🚀 Welcome to the March 2019 release of Saleor! Read on to learn about the newest changes and for a very special announcement!

    🌐 Model Translations UI

    🚀 API for model translations was already added in the last release, but this month we're bringing you a brand new user interface which allows you to easily manage translations of your shop's data from the dashboard! To access it, in the main navigation go to the "Translations" section and you'll get a list of all languages enabled in your shop. You can then select a language and choose a particular model that you'd like to add the translations for. Notice that you can also switch between languages directly from the translation details page.

    Dark Mode & Refreshed Dashboard 2.0 Theme

    0️⃣ Dark mode has become a trendy feature of modern apps. Since Saleor aims to provide the best user experience and rival commercial platforms, we couldn't restrain ourselves from adding a dark mode to our shiny Dashboard. Both themes were also refreshed with some smaller changes, such as increasing the default font size to 16px for better legibility, using accent colors on buttons and links, and adding a floating action bar at the bottom of each editable page. We've also redesigned the login page to greet all staff users with a nice, colorful pattern.

    ➕ Address book

    👀 The address book is a new section in Dashboard 2.0 which allows staff users to view and manage customers' addresses. To access it, go to the customer details view and click the "Manage" button in the "Address information" card. You'll see a list of all user addresses, with the ability to add new ones and configure which of them is a default billing or shipping address.

    Other notable changes

    🚀 Future releases

    🚀 Within the next few releases we're planning to roll out a few exciting new features:

    • 🔧 Fulfillment of digital products :  we've just added backend changes that introduce models to represent digital content and unique download URLs. They will have configurable and optional restrictions on the number of allowed downloads or link validity period. Expect new dashboard sections to manage that!
    • 🚀 Bulk actions: with this release, we've added GraphQL mutations for bulk actions such as deleting multiple items at once and we've just started building support for that in Dashboard 2.0.
    • 👉 User avatars : to allow easier identification of staff members, we will allow them to upload a profile picture.
