◆Current state
solidus_admin, Solidus's newer admin interface, shipped 0.5.0, its first feature release since 0.4.0. It adds editors for tax rates, payment methods, stores, zones, stock locations and option types, taxon management on the product page, and faster order and product index pages. It also breaks compatibility: pagination moves from Geared Pagination to Kaminari, and the floor rises to Solidus 4.6 and Ruby 3.2.
◆Where it's heading
The new admin is filling in the settings screens a store needs before it can replace the legacy backend, and it's taking breaking changes while still pre-1.0. The team is splitting large migrations into separate releases so stores can absorb them one at a time; the ViewComponent 4 upgrade was deliberately held back to its own release.
◆Prediction
The release notes say solidus_admin 0.6.0 with ViewComponent 4 ships immediately after this one, and it will require stores to update their ViewComponent 3 storefront code.

    Solidus admin 0.5.0 adds settings editors, moves to Kaminari

    The first feature release of solidus_admin since 0.4.0 adds editors for tax rates, payment methods, stores, zones, stock locations and option types, plus faster index pages. Pagination moves to Kaminari, which breaks custom index components, and the minimum is now Solidus 4.6 and Ruby 3.2. It brings the new admin closer to covering what the legacy backend does.
