🐰 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!

~ Rijk, and the rest of the team ✨🐰✨
