Welcome to the January 2018 release of Saleor! The last iteration brought a lot of changes. From now on, Saleor is running on Django 2.0 (1.11 support will be dropped after the version 2.2 is out). Some of the most interesting new features include HTML email templates, product collections and rich-text editor widget. We also made initial steps towards turning Saleor's storefront into a Progressive Web Application by introducing a manifest file and image lazy-loading. The documentation has been updated with dedicated installation guides for different platforms and it has got a cleaner structure.
At the beginning of February Saleor celebrates its 5th birthday! We're more than happy to see such a wonderful community that have been on this journey with us. Our core team is growing and we have ambitious plans for the upcoming months.
