Let’s start June’s summary! ⬇️
The recent updates in Sylius highlight significant advancements in both the 2.0 and 1.x versions across various repositories. For version 2.0, the focus has been on enhancing the Bootstrap Admin Panel, Bootstrap Shop, and upgrading API to API Platform 3. Key improvements in the Bootstrap Admin Panel include comprehensive Behat test coverage for various indices and resources, UI enhancements, and extensive DX refactoring. The Bootstrap Shop has seen updates like adding styles for various pages and fixing template paths. The API has been steadily upgraded to API Platform 3 with specific enhancements to the product, admin user, and locale endpoints.
For the 1.x versions, notable changes include the integration of Symfony 7 support across multiple bundles such as Taxation, Channel, Product, and others, ensuring broader compatibility and improved functionality. Maintenance and documentation updates have been frequent, with improvements to the README, cron example docs, and the addition of database schema links. Bug fixes and enhancements to the SyliusResourceBundle and SyliusGridBundle repositories ensure a more stable and efficient system. Furthermore, the Sylius-Standard repository has incorporated dependency updates and added support for Docker Compose V2, enhancing deployment options. The InvoicingPlugin also received UI improvements, enhancing the user experience for order details. These updates collectively aim to refine user experience, enhance system stability, and streamline development processes across the Sylius ecosystem.
