Bug Fixes

Fixed strapi import Command

Fixed an issue where the strapi import command would fail due to commas being inserted into asset metadata at 1024 byte intervals. This corruption in the metadata was preventing successful imports and data migrations.

TypeScript Definition Improvements

• Added the missing models key to the SubscriberMap type definition, which was previously documented in the Strapi docs but missing from the actual type definition.
• Made the Action keys optional in the SubscriberMap type, as not all of the 18 individual actions need to be specified when creating a SubscriberMap.
• Added the ID property to filter objects, ensuring more complete and accurate TypeScript definitions.

Other Fixes

• Fixed peer dependency issues.
• Enabled NPS (Net Promoter Score) feature by default.
• Made linting improvements, using semicolons instead of commas in maps.

New Features

No new features were introduced in this release. This is primarily a bug fix release focusing on improving stability and TypeScript type definitions.

Security Updates

No security fixes were mentioned in this release. The changes were primarily focused on bug fixes and TypeScript type definition improvements.

Performance Improvements

No specific performance improvements were mentioned in this release. The changes were primarily focused on bug fixes and TypeScript type definition improvements.

Impact Summary

This release focuses on fixing critical bugs and improving TypeScript definitions. The most significant fix addresses the strapi import command failure caused by corrupted asset metadata, which is crucial for users who rely on data migration functionality.

TypeScript users will benefit from more accurate type definitions with the addition of the missing models key to SubscriberMap and making action keys optional, which aligns with the documented behavior. The addition of the ID property to filter objects further improves type safety.

While this is a minor patch release, it resolves important issues that could impact development workflows and data migration processes. The changes are non-breaking and should provide a smoother experience for Strapi developers.
