Community Update, December 1

Hi everyone, here’s an update on current and future work.

Since the last update, we shipped 2.11.3 and 2.12.0, which included:

• Massive dependency clean-up significantly reducing bundle size and eliminating all security vulnerabilities from dependencies (chore(): Cleanup and organize deps #13940, chore(): Update dependencies usage #13910)
• Configurable display ID on orders (chore(order): custom display id #14024)
• New limit on promotions to scope usage at the promotion-level (feat: promotion usage limit #13760)
• Carrying over promotions from orders to exchanges (feat: carry over promotions toggle on exchanges #14128)
• Improved event management (chore(event-bus-*): Do not emit if no subscribers: #14084)

Plus a range of performance improvements and bug fixes to further stabilize Medusa’s core.

Current and future work

We aim to cut another release within the next two weeks, which will include Global Product Options. You can find the PRs here:

• feat: global product options #13817
• feat(dashboard,admin-shared,js-sdk): product option redesign (client-side) #13887
• feat(): allow linking a subset of an option's values to the product #14054

In addition to the Global Product Options, we are starting work on multi-language support for module entities, and expect to have a first experimental version available before the Holidays.

Bear in mind, our priorities are subject to change, so we cannot guarantee that all of these will ship in the near term.

Follow along on X and in our changelog for more frequent updates.

Don’t hesitate to ask questions or share thoughts in the discussion below.

Thanks all ❤️

Truly great work recently🙌. Starting from 2.10 we got huge features one after the other, excited for the i18n holidays present.

Lately I find that a big friction point that slows down initial prototypes is the lack of more complex UI components like forms, route drawers/modals, which are needed to replicate the look&feel of the core routes. It creates a lot of duplication across different projects/plugins and it's generally a pain to have to go back to the medusa repo when you need the same modal component yet another time.

Is there something planned for moving some of these components to the ui package? I get that many aren't ready for generic use, but even just starting from the simpler, stable(r) ones like ActionMenu etc would help a lot...I wouldn't mind finding time to make a couple PRs to gradually polish and expose some components, if you guys are open to the idea.
