✨ Highlights

✅ Validation (experimental 🔬)

The first building blocks of the long-awaited validation infrastructure is here. Each document field can specify validation rules that generate either errors (prevent the document from being published) or warnings (allow publishing, but notify the user about the warning).

For a full overview of the validation feature, see the documentation. We're looking for feedback on this feature and how you like the developer and user experience - drop us a line if you'd like to help!

🐌 Improved and simplified slug input

The slug input has been significantly simplified and is now easier to customize. A slugify option can now be provided in order to customize how slugs are generated, which also introduces the ability to generate the slug in an asyncronous manner (just return a promise!).

The uniqueness check now more correctly considers draft/published status, and also ensures that the uniqueness check is run per document type. The check to determine whether a slug is unique or not can now be customized by passing an isUnique function in the field options. More information can be found in the documentation.

🗜️ Import/export tarballs

sanity dataset export now generates a tarball (.tar.gz) containing both the documents in NDJSON form as well as assets (files and images). This provides a simple way to transfer data between different projects or datasets.

If you want to remove assets from the export, you can use the --no-assets flag, or if you just want the raw documents, use the --raw flag.

🛰️ Better indication of network status

The studio is now more responsive in the case of network errors, indicating the reconnect status and locking the local document to prevent data from being lost.

🤖 CLI: Unattended "new project"

The command line tool is now able to create and bootstrap a new project and dataset by using the --yes and --create-project flags (see sanity help init for more information).

👀 Faster previews

All documents that are previewed on screen now share the same in-memory representation. This should lead to a faster and more responsive UI.

🐛 Notable bugfixes

• Publishing documents now include a revision lock to prevent race conditions or incorrect local states.
• The @sanity/cli package did not notify on new releases. Now is a good time to run npm install -g @sanity/cli to ensure you stay up to date with new releases!
• Listeners would in certain cases stop reconnecting. @sanity/client will now always try to reconnect if disconnected, until unsubscribe() is called.
• Read-only fields are now more clearly presented as... read-only!
