What exactly is the difference between rails_admin and active_admin?

They are two different Ruby gems. I believe Rails Admin had better Rails 4 compatibility but I'm not sure. In any event, we switched to Rails Admin for v4.

Cool, thank you for the response. Also, as per my question yesterday, are admin and superuser the same thing? If so, is the superuser menu the "admin" tab at the top of the page?

No, admin and superuser are two different roles. Admins can manage everything within the app interface and is designed for managers of the media lending organization, whereas superusers can user Rails Admin to modify the database directly (and potentially have other access), and is intended only for a select number of developers / system administrators. In the context of the commit message, the "superuser menu" means the "Admin" menu when viewed as a superuser. Does that make sense?
