Webiny 5.42.0 Changelog

For the full list of changes, check out the Webiny 5.42.0 release on GitHub.

Headless CMS

Fully Delete a Content Model and All Entries (#4451)

We have introduced the ability to fully delete a content model and all of its entries.

When a user wants to delete a content model, it will start a process that will delete all of the content model’s entries. Once all entries are deleted, the content model will be deleted as well. During that process, model is marked as being deleted and users cannot change it or its entries.

Full-Screen Editor (#4443)

We’ve introduced a new full-screen editor for Headless CMS content entries, designed to provide a more spacious and user-friendly editing experience. This update enhances usability on smaller screens and offers a streamlined interface for live previews, making content editing more efficient.

Additionally, the new design emphasizes improved focus on the content itself by reducing distractions and maximizing the workspace. This ensures that content creators can fully concentrate on their work without unnecessary visual clutter.

The new design also aligns with the page builder editor, delivering a consistent experience across tools.

Please note that the live preview extension might require updates to remain compatible with the new editor. For more information on making the necessary changes, see this pull request.

If needed, the previous editor can be restored by enabling the cmsLegacyEntryEditor: true feature flag.

Development

Yarn 4.6.0 (#4439#4482)

In this release, we have updated Yarn to 4.6.0. This was done to ensure compatibility with the latest version of Yarn and to take advantage of the latest features and improvements.

To learn more, check out the upgrade guide.

Logger (#4366)

We have added a new Logger into to the system. This logger is primarily for our internal use, so we can log errors and other information to a DynamoDB Log table (new table is being deployed).

If you want to use logger in your project, you can read about it in this article.

Updated Dependencies (#4353#4338#4426#4430)

We have updated a number of Webiny dependencies in this release. We will not list them here, because the list is quite long, and most of them do not affect our users projects.

If there are any out of date (out of sync) packages in our users project, they will be informed about that during the upgrade process, and will be given an option to update them to the same version Webiny uses.

To find out more about that part of the upgrade process, please read this article.

Removedapps/api/graphql/src/types.tsFile (New Projects Only)

From now on, all new Webiny projects won’t include the apps/api/graphql/src/types.ts file anymore.

This is because, basically, the file was used to export the Context interface, which users could then utilize while developing backend extensions. However, since the file can now be directly imported from the @webiny/api-serverless-cms package, we’ve decided to remove it.

Note that this change is not a breaking change, as, for existing projects, the types.ts file will remain in place. However, for new projects, the file won’t be included anymore.

@webiny/api-serverless-cms- AddedMailerContexttoContextInterface (#4481)

We’ve added the MailerContext to the Context interface that’s exported from the @webiny/api-serverless-cms package.

With this change, upon writing backend extensions, developers can now access the context.mailer object and all of its methods in a type-safe way. For example:

Deployments

Default Throttling Limits for Amazon Api Gateway Deployments (#4496)

We have added default throttling limits for API Gateway deployments:

• burst limit - 5000 - maximum number of concurrent request
• rate limit - 10000 - maximum number of allowed requests per second

This is due to the Terraform issue, which can cause a 429 error (too many requests).

Of course, if needed, you can further modify these limits in your webiny.application.ts configuration files.
