New Features
Rich Text Soft Breaks
Payload CMS now supports soft breaks in the rich text editor. Content creators can press Shift+Enter to create a line break without starting a new paragraph. This provides more formatting flexibility when creating content in rich text fields.
Previously, pressing Enter would always create a new paragraph, which wasn't always the desired behavior for certain content types. With soft breaks, content creators have more control over the presentation of their text.
Security Updates
No security fixes were included in this release.
Performance Improvements
No specific performance improvements were included in this release.
Impact Summary
This release has a low impact on existing implementations. It adds a quality-of-life improvement for content creators by enabling soft breaks in rich text fields, but doesn't introduce any breaking changes or require modifications to existing code.
Frontend applications that render rich text content from Payload should ensure they properly handle soft breaks in the rendered output, though most rich text renderers should handle this automatically.
