Pre Release
Tag Name: v3.0.0-beta.70
Release Date: 7/26/2024
Payload CMSPayload CMS is a modern, self-hosted headless content management system built with TypeScript, Node.js, and MongoDB. It's designed specifically for developers who want full control over their content management system while maintaining a powerful admin interface for content editors.
PayloadCMS v3.0.0-beta.70 brings responsive design capabilities to the website template with new live preview breakpoints for mobile, tablet, and desktop. It adds TypeScript support for Next.js configuration files and fixes a critical import issue in the PostgreSQL adapter. This release enhances developer experience with better responsive design tools and TypeScript integration.
No migration steps are required for this release. The changes are non-breaking and should work seamlessly when upgrading from v3.0.0-beta.69.
This release is recommended for all users, especially those:
createTableName functionAs this is a beta release, it's still recommended to test thoroughly in a non-production environment before deploying to production.
Fixed an issue in the PostgreSQL database adapter where the createTableName function from the Drizzle package was being incorrectly imported using a relative path. The fix properly imports this function from the package, ensuring correct functionality when using PostgreSQL with PayloadCMS.
This resolves issue #7373 which was causing problems for users working with the PostgreSQL adapter.
The website template now includes dedicated breakpoints for mobile, tablet, and desktop views in the live preview functionality. This allows developers and content editors to see how their content will appear across different device sizes without leaving the admin interface.
PayloadCMS now supports next.config.ts configuration files, allowing developers to use TypeScript for their Next.js configuration. This provides better type safety and developer experience when working with Next.js projects.
The implementation required some technical workarounds related to SWC (Speedy Web Compiler) to ensure proper functionality within unit tests, addressing an open issue in the SWC project.
No security fixes were included in this release.
No specific performance improvements were mentioned in this release.
This release enhances the developer and content editor experience with new responsive design tools in the website template and better TypeScript integration for Next.js projects. The PostgreSQL adapter fix resolves an important issue for users working with that database option.
The responsive breakpoints feature is particularly valuable for teams building responsive websites, as it allows immediate visualization of how content will appear across different device sizes without requiring external tools or browser resizing.
The TypeScript support for Next.js configuration continues PayloadCMS's commitment to strong TypeScript integration throughout the ecosystem, providing better developer experience and type safety.
While these changes are relatively small in scope, they address specific user needs and pain points, particularly for teams building responsive websites or working in TypeScript-heavy environments.
