Version 10.0.0 release notes

Version 10.0.0 of our CMS introduces the much-awaited feature of multilingual support, enabling you to handle content in various languages, new taxonomy view, media content types, and more.

Published: Feb 28, 2024

Multilingual/i18n support

Probably the most requested feature is finally here: multilingual support. You can now define the languages and use the CMS to manage your content in multiple languages.

The CMS also integrated its first third-party services to provide automatic translations for your content. In this release, we added support for DeepL and Azure AI Translator.

Info

More information can be found in the multilingual documentation.

New taxonomy view to tag/untag taxonomy to multiple pages

We added a new taxonomy view action that allows you to tag/untag taxonomy to multiple pages at once.

Tag your taxonomy

More information can be found in the taxonomy documentation.

Media Content Types

We had the request where users wanted to add custom metadata to their media files. In this version, we added support for content types for media files.

Example of defining media content types

{
  "frontMatter.media.contentTypes": [{
    "name": "default",
    "fileTypes": ["png", "jpg", "jpeg", "gif"],
    "fields": [{
        "title": "Title",
        "name": "title",
        "type": "string"
      },
      {
        "title": "Author",
        "name": "author",
        "type": "string"
      },
      {
        "title": "Alt text",
        "name": "alt",
        "type": "string"
      }
    ]
  }]
}

Info

More information can be found in the media content types documentation.

Define the content filters

You can now define the content filters that should be available in the CMS.

Example of adding custom filters

{
  "frontMatter.content.filters": [
    "contentFolders",
    "tags",
    {
      "title": "My custom filter",
      "name": "field-name",
    }
  ]
}

Info

More information can be found in the content filters documentation.
