A critical bug that prevented plugins from being installed when the environment was set to anything other than development has been fixed (#3364). This ensures that plugins can be properly installed in staging, production, and other environments.
The migration documentation has been updated to include a previously missing step about creating the extensions directory (#3355). This addition helps ensure smoother migrations for developers following the documentation.
No significant new features were introduced in this beta release. This version focuses on bug fixes and documentation improvements to enhance the stability and usability of existing features.
No security fixes were included in this beta release.
No specific performance improvements were included in this beta release. The changes were primarily focused on bug fixes, documentation updates, and codebase structure improvements.
This release primarily impacts developers and system administrators working with Strapi in various environments. The most significant improvement is the fix for plugin installation in non-development environments, which resolves a critical issue that could block deployments or require workarounds.
Documentation improvements, including the addition of a missing migration step and various typo fixes, enhance the developer experience by providing more accurate guidance. These changes are particularly helpful for new users or those migrating from earlier versions.
The removal of the version key from the root package.json is a technical improvement that helps maintain a cleaner monorepo structure, which will benefit contributors and maintainers of the Strapi codebase.
Overall, while this beta release doesn't introduce new features, it strengthens the foundation of Strapi by addressing important usability issues and improving documentation quality.
