Statamic, a flat file (database-less) content management system (CMS) that helps you build dynamic and beautiful websites and blogs has just been updated to version 2.11.0 with two minor releases.
This release brings huge improvements, new features and some bug fixes. Some of these are: adding events for resetting passwords and sending their corresponding emails, backported the TrimStrings middleware from Laravel 5.7, static caching now includes query strings by default and many more.
If you’re running previous versions of Statamic, you may want to upgrade to take advantage of some of the new features released.
For more about changes added to this release, please visit its changelog page.Below is a list of additional fixes and improvements that were added:
- A rewrite Bard, replacing MediumEditor with Scribe, which results in a much more consistent writing experience with significantly improved markup.
- The cache tag can now set an expiry time. (cache for=”1 hour” etc)
- Added events for resetting passwords and sending their corresponding emails.
- Backported the TrimStrings middleware from Laravel 5.7. It automatically trims user-input strings.
- The nav tag can now include the root page (defined in the from parameter)
- Added a yes_no modifier that function much like a ternary operator.
- Added a new session tag. Set, forget, and output session data like a champion.
- The contains modifier now supports strict mode when using arrays.
- Static caching now includes query strings by default.
- Full measure static caching now works with query strings.
- The cache tag is now disabled during Live Preview.
- Swapped the transliterations package for speakingurl for better international slugification.
- Fix Grid’s min_rows setting.
- Give Redactor a sedative (it was jumping around while scrolling sometimes. No more of that.)
- The esc key now closes modals even better than before. Closes them good.
- Show some caching settings conditionally. It’s a touch of thoughtful UX designed to save you a few brain cells.
