Bug Fixes

Translation Support for Group Admin Descriptions

Fixed an issue that prevented the translation of group admin descriptions. This enhancement improves the internationalization capabilities of PayloadCMS, allowing developers to provide localized descriptions for admin groups. This is particularly valuable for teams working with content in multiple languages.

Select Field Circular Dependencies

Resolved an issue where select fields could potentially create circular dependencies. This fix ensures more stable behavior when using select fields, particularly in complex field configurations or when fields reference each other.

New Features

No significant new features were added in this release. This is primarily a bug fix and maintenance release.

Security Updates

No security fixes were included in this release.

Performance Improvements

No specific performance improvements were included in this release. The changes were focused on bug fixes and maintenance.

Impact Summary

This release has a low impact on existing PayloadCMS implementations. It focuses on fixing two specific bugs:

  1. Adding translation support for group admin descriptions, which enhances the internationalization capabilities of the CMS
  2. Resolving circular dependency issues in select fields, which improves stability

The release also includes a reversion of a previous change that allowed empty string route.api values.

These changes are non-breaking and should only positively affect existing implementations, particularly those using translations or complex select field configurations.
