- In Directus 11.1.1, a number of bug fixes and optimizations were included. We’ve also removed the dedicated SendGrid email transport and you should replace it with SMTP.
- Directus Cloud templates for website CMS, CRM and eCommerce projects are available to use within Directus Cloud. The templates enable you to have the data models, permissions and flows pre-configured to get started quicker. You can select a template when creating a new project on Directus Cloud.
- The Gantt Chart Layout displays items in a collection in a gantt chart, helping those of you who use Directus for project management and task management. You can specify a label that you want displayed on each task, a start date and an end date and optionally, a dependency field which will draw dependency lines in a chart, and also specify the zoom in as granular as an hour and as broad as a year.
- Calculated field interface allows you to write a formula and the value of the interface will be automatically computed and shown. It supports the full set of functions provided by Formula.js, and a majority of JavaScript operators that work for numbers and strings. It also supports relational fields and we parse formulas to ensure they are only running allowed functions which is important for security. Important to note, values here are only visible in the interface and not in API responses.
- The API metric panel can be used to display a value from an external API. For example, the number of docker downloads or sales or followers on social media platforms. You can make a web request to get your preferred metrics, you can also provide custom headers or a request body if required, then specify the path of the value you want to display.
