Active Admin is a Ruby on Rails framework for creating elegant backends for website administration.
We're currently working on 1.0.0, which as far as dependencies, moves us from meta_search to Ransack and adds Rails 4 support. Until it's ready, you can get Rails 4 support today by tracking master:
gem 'activeadmin', github: 'gregbell/active_admin'On Rails 4.1, you'll also need to declare the following dependencies:
gem 'polyamorous', github: 'activerecord-hackery/polyamorous'
gem 'ransack', github: 'activerecord-hackery/ransack', branch: 'rails-4.1'
gem 'formtastic', github: 'justinfrench/formtastic'The plan is to follow semantic versioning as of 1.0.0. The 0.6.x line will still be maintained, and we will backport bug fixes into future 0.6.x releases. If you don't want to have to wait for a release, you can track the branch instead:
gem 'activeadmin', github: 'gregbell/active_admin', branch: '0-6-stable'Please note that http://activeadmin.info is out of date. For the latest docs, check out the Github repo itself.
