WooCommerce Admin v0.17.0

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 v0.17.0 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.

PHP code refactor

WooCommerce 3.7 makes a big fundamental change in how features developed outside of the WooCommerce core plugin are included by using Composer to bring in code. WooCommerce Admin has done a large refactor to make sure it’s compatible with this change. We are continuing this effort to align the feature plugin with WooCommerce core ahead of the merge.

Thank You, and What’s Next?

First a big THANK YOU to everyone that has downloaded a release to test, and also to those of you who have reported bugs. Your input is extremely valuable to us, so please keep testing and let us know if we can help!

In the next two weeks, we will continue to modernize the WooCommerce Admin PHP codebase in our effort to ready the plugin for eventual inclusion into WooCommerce Core. We are also addressing the rough edges of the app, many of which were brought to our attention via discussion forms and Github issues. We appreciate the feedback, thank you!

If you would like to see more details about what we are working on, please visit our project board on GitHub.

The next release of WooCommerce Admin is slated for Wednesday, August 28.
