Directus v8.0.0-rc.1 Release Notes
Release Date: 2019-11-13 // over 4 years ago-
🍱 🐰 Directus v8
🚀 Hi there! This is the first Release Candidate (RC) of the next major version of Directus: V8.
We’ll provide additional docs and information once we release the final v8.0.0, but for now; here’s what you need to know:
🍱 ✨ New Features
- 🆕 New Admin App design!!
- Project switcher doesn’t require you to sign out/in every time you switch
- 👍 Login view now supports i18n
- ⬆️ WYSIWYG editor has been upgraded using a new library
- Dark mode, and easier theming
- Webhooks Management through App
- 🆕 New auth flow that supports secure httpOnly cookies
- Ability to create additional projects through the app
- API requirements check during the installer
- Cleaned up SSO and 2FA flow
- 🛠 Ton of little bug fixes and improvements
🍱 🔥 Breaking Changes
- Admin Application now expects to be in the API’s /public folder
- Password reset flow now is a POST request instead of a GET
- API no longer uses
config/api.php
for the_
project; instead it uses the config file name in the URL directly.
🍱 🚨 Important
🚀 We highly recommend you don’t use this in production yet. While we’re very happy with the progress we’ve made, this is still a release candidate and not the final version of V8. This release is meant as a preview for people to offer pre-release feedback.
🍱 🎱 Version
👀 Seeing that the app is now always bundled in the API, we decided to start using the same version number across our repos. Gone are the days where Directus had 3 different version numbers.
'Til next time!
