WooCommerce Admin v0.20.0

We are happy to announce the availability of a new build of the WooCommerce Admin feature plugin! If this is the first time you have heard about WooCommerce Admin, it is a new JavaScript-driven interface for managing your WooCommerce stores that is focusing on creating new and improved reports, and a dashboard to monitor all the important key metrics of your site.

You can download version v0.20.0 in the plugin repository or via GitHub right here. If you do test out the plugin, and have some feedback – please do open an issue in the GitHub repository, or reach out to us in the #core channel on WooCommerce slack.

Notable Changes

A caching layer has been added to prevent unnecessary database queries. Cached data powers a Report if the request has previously been made. When a new order is created or updated, requests gather fresh data in new queries. This speeds up commonly viewed reports.

0.20.0 introduces a better way to present Categories data. Since categories can exist as subcategories, the data now reflects this hierarchical nature.

For developers looking to extend wc-admin, the documentation on components has been revamped to include example code. Check out the devDocs here.
