Announcing general availability of Strapi Community Edition 🍾

The stable release includes several new features:

• Native support for .env files to simplify configuration setup for users.
• Improved environment configuration with overwrites.
• Better database lifecycles to trigger functions before or after a specific event.
• New CLI command to easily migrate settings across environments.
• Greater support for deployment configurations with proxy configuration changes.

The stable community edition also includes the core features like content type builder, rich markdown editor, JWT authentication, dynamic zones, webhooks, media library, plug-in providers and more!

The Strapi Media Library takes content management in Strapi to the new level:

• Manage a variety of media assets including images, videos, audio files, PDFs, or GIFs.
• Edit the size, name, alt text of the asset directly in the media library.
• Sort the assets, filter by date, type or size or use the search to find what you need.
• Preview images and videos and select the right one immediately.
• Connect your Media Library to a storage service provider.

Introducing Single Types - the content type which is not a part of a collection and is used to manage the "one-of-a-kind" pages of a project, such as a homepage, menu, footer, "about us" page, or to manage global settings, like SEO settings.

We've also added a new UID field which is a unique identifier that can be used to identify your content type as well as to create SEO-friendly website URLs.

Dynamic Zones let you build dynamic pages or create complex data structures.

Using the dynamic zones feature, you can:

• Create components, a new data structure which we launch with this release.
• Create nested fields to organize your information, repeat this data structure to build arrays or to reuse this data structure across multiple Content-Types.
• Pick on the fly any component, reorder them as you wish in the repeatable zone and create original content structure.

The new Strapi beta version makes the product use much smoother:

• Seamless version upgrade
• Overhaul of the Admin UI build process
• Reliable Deployment
• Improved stability
• New Core API
