We’re happy to announce that we’ve just released Spree 4.5. This is a technology update that brings compatibility with Rails 7, as well as multiple developer experience improvements.
Spree Commerce, the leading headless open-source eCommerce platform for Ruby developers, with nearly 1.9 million downloads and 12 thousand GitHub stars to date, is attracting new investment from yet another partner agency aiming to deliver more customizability, more ownership, more omnichannel sales, and internationalization options to growing eCommerce businesses limited by SaaS platforms such as Shopify or BigCommerce.
Long-time support (LTS) for Spree 3.7 ended on February 4th, 2022. There will be no further upgrades, improvements, optimizations, or security updates for this version. It’s time to consider either upgrading to the greatly improved Spree 4 line or moving to the cloud-based Vendo marketplace platform, which removes all of the headaches associated with self-hosting and version upgrades. Feel free to reach out to us to discuss the next steps.

In this latest release, following the low-code and no-code trends, Spree becomes even more composable by introducing Webhooks and Platform API as well as more customizable with Metadata. That translates into easier integration opportunities and shorter delivery timelines. On the business front, this latest Spree version introduces downloadable Digital Product sales (documents, ebooks, images, audio tracks, video files) and Wishlists making it an even more universally useful open-source eCommerce platform.

On July 24th, 2021, we unveiled the future of the Spree Commerce ecosystem by sharing our vision and the development roadmap for 2021/2022 at our online community event, SpreeConf. We see a headless and omnichannel future ahead, so we want Spree to empower all ecommerce developers with a single, headless Spree Commerce backend. Below you’ll find a brief overview of the Spree roadmap and a link to the video of the talk given by Damian Legawiec and Matthew Kennedy – the Spree tech lead and a Spree open-source developer, respectively.

Spree Commerce 4.2 now supports Ruby 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, and, the recently released, 3.0. Rails 6.0 and 6.1 are supported out-of-the-box, so you don’t need to upgrade to Rails 6.1 straight away. You can first move to Spree Commerce 4.2 and later perform the Rails upgrade, minimizing the risk of any issues.
That might not mean much to those who are not well acquainted with the technical aspects of ecommerce development, but for developers, this opens up a new realm of possibilities.

Being open-source, the community has always been a vital part of Spree Commerce’s development; from feature suggestions to code commits, you have helped pave the way to make Spree Commerce the ecommerce platform it is today.
The latest version, Spree 4.2, introduces several powerful new features – more on that below – and is the collaborative work of 34 individuals worldwide who contributed over 1700 commits since the previous version.
Because of the fantastic support Spree continues to receive, we have decided to return the favor and boost our support of the Spree Commerce community to help build the open-source ecosystem.
