• In Directus 11.1.2, improvements to content versioning and new comment endpoints have been made.
  • For improvements to content versioning, internally, we stored every change to a content version separately in the directus_revisions collection, and then merged them together when promoting a version. In this release, we’ve added a new delta field to the directus_versions collection that combines all revisions into a single field. This means you can prune directus_revisions without compromising your content versions.
  • We've introduced a dedicated directus_comments collection, replacing the previous system that used directus_activity for comments. While new comment endpoints have been added, existing endpoints remain functional. Comment primary keys are now UUIDs instead of numeric values, which may impact custom type checking implementations. The SDK's internal comment endpoints have been updated to reflect this change. To avoid errors, ensure your Directus version is compatible with the latest SDK when using comment functions.
• In Directus 11.2, TUS (resumable uploads) now added to Supabase, Azure, Cloudinary, and GCS storage adapters to join AWS and Local Adapters released in 10.13.0.
• The AI Web Scraper allows you to scrape web pages and receive structured data back using Firecrawl's web scraping API to extract data from websites.
• The AI Writer has been extended to include the option to use multiple AI providers as well as different models.
• The Tree Map Chart presents a cluster or boxes where the size of each box represent the value. You can also group data into categories which are presented in different colors.
• The Funnel Chart presents a list of numbers in an ascending or descending funnel chart.
• The Scatter Plot Chart is a 2-axis chart where values are plotted as dots. You can optionally add axis labels and hover over any of the dots to see the values.
• The Timeline Chart presents a series of tasks or events with a start and end date on a graph. You can also group data into categories on the y axis and seperate tasks into different colors.
• The Customizable Tabular Layout Boilerplate give extension authors the ability to use it as a base for their customizations.
