Batch processing comes to pages
Batch processing has long been available for pieces, and now it’s available for pages too. Out of the box, pages can be batch published, archived, and restored. With the @apostrophecms/import-export module you can also batch export pages. Just like with pieces, you can also create your own custom batch operations tailored to your specific needs.
New translation option
Announcing our new Import Export Translations extension! We've already demonstrated how we can integrate the power of AI to automate content translation workflows. At the same time, we've heard from our community how valuable it is to optimize for other methods of content translation at scale. We're solving for this by releasing a new extension that exports all string content into a JSON file, ready for use by third party translators and translations services. The file contains metadata to provide helpful context and make it easy to import translated content back into your locales. This gives you full control over localized content without sacrificing ease of use.
Locale listing API
Adding custom locale UI elements, such as selectors, used to require creating your own API endpoint. Now, there is an endpoint for that! The /api/v1/@apostrophecms/i18n/locales endpoint will return an object with details about all the configured locales.
Polish, fixes, and accessibility
As always, in addition to new features, we have been working hard to make your work easier by making the UI and UX of ApostropheCMS even better! Items added to object and array schema fields now can be rearranged in a smoother and more predictable manner. We have made tweaks to some menus so that they don't block other content, and we have fixed an error in the rich-text-widget that broke the page link UI. We have released significant improvements to our @apostrophecms/import-export module to improve the handling of attachments and images with cropping. While inline images in rich-text are currently not exported/imported, a hotfix is on the way. Images added via widgets or relationships work seamlessly.
Community translations
As an update, we have released the first batch of extensions with AI-generated translation strings curated by our amazing community. This effort is ongoing, with a new batch of pull requests recently added into our #translations Discord channel. We're on track to have all core modules and extensions translated into our six core languages.
Check out the release notes below for additional fixes and improvements. Remember npm update gets you the latest and greatest right in your project! As always, join the Discussion on GitHub
