## Versions 2.17.2 and 2.18 are out

[Two releases were shipped](https://medusajs.com/changelog/) with lots of new features:

- Configurable Admin tables: Configure custom filters and sorting, render custom cells, edit labels, and resize columns across the Admin.
- Inventory sync: Subscribe to inventory item, level, and reservation events to react to stock changes in real time.
- ~10x faster price calculations: A rewritten calculatePrices query speeds up B2B catalogs with many price lists.
- Three Admin translations: Angolan, Brazilian Portuguese, and Persian.
- New layout composer: To customize the Admin (more on that below).

On top of the above, the releases included 53 bug fixes and DX improvements across queries, middleware, and authentication.
