What's new in the docs
| May. 03, 2021 | New major version for our Autocomplete library |
|---|---|
|
We’re thrilled to release version 1 of our Autocomplete library, which provides everything you need to build full-featured autocomplete experiences. Formerly known as Autocomplete.js, the v0 has been powering the autocomplete experience our Shopify and Magento integrations. The new major version already runs the search of the Algolia docs (you’re reading it!), the Tailwind CSS and Vue.js docs, as well as the front end of our Netlify plugin. |

| Mar. 31, 2021 | Dropping support for our Magento 1 integration |
|
Following Adobe, that has stopped support for Magento 1 on June 30 2020, we’ve decided to sunset our Magento 1 extension. We’re no longer developing new features for the extension, and only releasing critical security updates when necessary. This also means we’ve removed the documentation for the integration. You can still access an archive of the documentation for our Magento 1 extension. |
|
| Oct. 28, 2020 | A new release for our Ruby API client |
|
We’re excited to present the newest major version of the Ruby API client! This new version adopts all the best practices we use in our other API clients, while still being super easy to get started with. You can upgrade now if you’re already using the Ruby API client, or start by installing the client. |
