spree 3.4.0

Version 3.4.0

on Ruby Gems

Major/New Features

Spree 3.4 is a smaller release to lay the groundwork for major new features described in Spree Development Roadmap. It also contains number of bug fixes and improvements besides described in this document.

Enhanced codebase quality

We've removed tons of unused & deprecated code and on top of that, we've updated RuboCop rules and tidied up the code quality of all Spree modules.

Enhanced Segment.com integration

We've added Segment.com integration in Spree 3.3 but it was still limited. Since then we've put a lot of work to implement tracking of nearly all e-commerce events supported by Segment.com.

Upgrade

Update Gemfile

gem 'spree', '~> 3.4.0'
gem 'spree_auth_devise', '~> 3.3'
gem 'spree_gateway', '~> 3.3'

Update your extensions

We're changing how extensions dependencies work. Previously you had to match extension branch to Spree branch. Starting from Spree 3.2 release master branch of all spree-contrib extensions should work with Spree >= 3.1 and < 4.0. Please change your extensions in Gemfile eg.:

from:

gem 'spree_braintree_vzero', github: 'spree-contrib/spree_braintree_vzero', branch: '3-1-stable'

to:

gem 'spree_braintree_vzero', github: 'spree-contrib/spree_braintree_vzero'

Migrate Spree::Taxon icons to Spree Assets

We changed Spree::Taxon icon to use Spree::Asset to unify attachment usage across all Spree models. If you were using icon images in Spree::Taxon please run this to migrate your icons:

rails db:migrate_taxon_icons
