Spree v4.8 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥

🌎 This release includes some big changes in how we handle translations
previously even if you had only one language you still had to use the translations database tables - now we fall back to the original values, eg. for Products to spree_products.name, which makes upgrading from older versions much easier (especially if you have a big product catalog)

📖 New Documentation website
completely rewritten, updated, patched, integrated with API docs, and much easier to navigate - we're still working on adding missing sections/pages - stay tooned!

✨ both Admin Panel and Storefront now use Importmap, so you don't need node or any other build tool at all

🎨 both Admin Panel and Storefront received a new updated look and feel

🏎️ Storefront now uses Hotwire/Turbo

💻 easier to develop, easier to contribute - dev sandbox now runs on SQLite and doesn't require to install any additional tools
