Sep 1, 2025Sep 2025: In payloadcms/payload, delivered four key items that improve cross-origin live preview, editing reliability, preview accuracy, and localization for multi-tenant SaaS usage: (1) Live Preview Cross-Origin Requests Support enabling cross-origin data retrieval via X-Payload-HTTP-Method-Override; (2) Rich Text Editing After Lock Expiry fixed by treating expired locks as unlocked to restore editability; (3) Live Preview Cache and Slug Handling resolved stale data between navigations and ensured previews include valid slugs; (4) Norwegian Translations Improvements refining translations and adjusting the tenant term to organisaåsjon/organisasjon context. These changes enhance cross-origin workflows, editing reliability, preview correctness, and localization, reducing support overhead and improving onboarding for multi-tenant customers.

Mar 1, 2025March 2025 monthly summary for payloadcms/payload: Focused on stabilizing the Admin Panel RichText experience by addressing a TypeError when collapsed preferences are not arrays. Delivered a defensive fix to treat the 'collapsed' RichText preference as an array before applying array methods, preventing runtime errors and enabling editors to work without interruptions. The change is lightweight but yields a meaningful improvement in admin reliability and user productivity.

Jan 1, 2025January 2025 – Payload CMS: Stabilized file retrieval with Vercel storage adapter by fixing missing-file error handling. Non-existent files now return 404 rather than 500, using BlobNotFoundError from the Vercel blob SDK to drive the change. This improves client reliability, reduces support load, and enhances error consistency across the API. Key commit: d68a1eaafb4038f958e182db0a4fd15ae712ee51 (fix(storage-vercel-blob): return 404 when file is not found) (#10327).

Dec 1, 2024December 2024: Stabilized the payload CLI tooling by delivering a critical bug fix that ensures clean process exit after command-line job execution. By calling payload.db.destroy() to close database connections when jobs finish, the Node.js process no longer hangs and the CLI behaves reliably in local, CI, and automated workflows. This fix reduces resource leaks, minimizes intermittent failures, and improves developer experience and CI reliability. No new features shipped this month beyond stabilizing the command-line workflow.

Oct 1, 2024In 2024-10, payloadcms/payload delivered a major feature: multi-field sorting across Local and REST APIs. The local API now accepts an array of sort fields, while the REST API supports comma-separated sort criteria, enabling granular, server-side data ordering. Documentation was updated with concrete examples and migration notes, aligning API usage across clients. This work increases data retrieval precision, enhances UI capabilities, and reduces client-side processing. The primary commit driving this feature is 4d44c378ed61e552d5c2773e060b80cdab6f2c53 (feat: sort by multiple fields #8799). No critical bugs fixed this month; focus was on delivery and documentation.
