Nov 1, 2025November 2025 (statamic/cms): Delivered three strategic features that improve developer extensibility, data governance, and production security. Implemented Entries Default Values Hook to set default values during entry creation via a creating-entry hook in EntriesController, enabling flexible defaults and easier customization via hooks. Added Revision Query Builder to streamline querying and handling of revision data, improving data visibility and operational workflows. Introduced Data Dump Suppression When Debugging Off to prevent data exposure and reduce production overhead. No major bug fixes were shipped this period. Business value is enhanced by reducing data exposure, standardizing entry defaults, improving revision management, and boosting production performance.

Oct 1, 2025Month 2025-10 monthly summary: Focused on security-enhancing authentication, flexible data querying, and cache/performance improvements for Statamic CMS. Delivered passkey-based login UX (including modal creation flow and autofill), advanced relationship querying (whereHas across entries, terms, and users) with tests updated for PHP 8 attributes, and several configurability and caching enhancements to boost developer productivity and runtime performance. Fixed a precise scheduling bug to ensure exact dispatched timing, enhanced ConfirmableAction for dynamic action/value handling, and expanded field type configuration to allow merging extra fields from field types and base Fieldtype. Added Stache cache exclusion capabilities and introduced background re-caching of static cache to refresh URLs without removing existing cache. Business value: stronger security and login UX, more powerful content modeling and querying, and reliable, scalable caching with reduced maintenance overhead.

Jul 1, 2025July 2025 — Statamic CMS delivered a dedicated Asset Cache Management Console Command to improve asset data freshness and cache hygiene. The new command, statamic:assets:clear-cache, clears asset_meta and asset_container_contents caches with awareness of custom cache stores and actionable user feedback. This reduces stale cache risk, speeds asset delivery, and simplifies maintenance for developers working with assets in production and during releases.

Jun 1, 2025June 2025 highlights across statamic/cms focused on delivering business value through frontend data fidelity, content rendering reliability, and reliability improvements in localizations. Delivered three key capabilities and a reliability fix with targeted tests: - GraphQL: Expose navigation blueprints via GraphQL types, enabling clients to query navigation structures and page types. This involved registering GraphQL types for navigation blueprints and adding a dynamic type registration mechanism based on existing configurations. Commit: d4398baf2a8644e398710f25896c7e208c069858. - Markdown rendering: Correct Antlers tag handling with SmartyPants. Improved the markdown fieldtype by processing Antlers tags before applying SmartyPants formatting, including a method to determine if Antlers should be parsed from a raw string to ensure Markdown within Antlers renders correctly. Commit: 6aa60816d1917605277b6a9ddf903f5e2e5ff126. - Bug fix: Respect saveQuietly during propagation to avoid unnecessary event dispatches. Ensures that during entry propagation, saving localized entries with saveQuietly suppresses events, with an accompanying test to verify event suppression for background/less critical updates. Commit: ecaed56c2c86aa0a7b2df22d38e5e2db85f3b20e. Overall impact: - Improved frontend data fidelity via a richer GraphQL schema for navigation. - More reliable content rendering with Antlers/SmartyPants integration. - Reduced event overhead and improved propagation performance for localized entries, backed by tests. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - GraphQL schema extension and dynamic type registration - Antlers, SmartyPants, and markdown rendering pipeline - Test-driven development and reliability testing for propagation and rendering

Apr 1, 2025April 2025 monthly summary for statamic/cms focused on GraphQL data integrity and test coverage. The primary achievement this month was resolving a GraphQL float field type inconsistency and bolstering regression safety. This fix improves API reliability for integrations by ensuring numeric fields are consistently returned as floats, accompanied by a regression test to guard against future regressions.

Mar 1, 2025March 2025 performance summary for statamic/cms. The month focused on delivering features that improve templating flexibility, API capabilities, and reliability, while tightening data handling and improving developer UX. notable work includes enabling as aliasing on the Antlers nav tag with accompanying test coverage to ensure correct aliasing in templates; hardening validation for non-UploadedFile inputs in AllowedFile to prevent invalid data from persisting; advancing GraphQL support with query scopes and a more robust schema that remains stable when navigation pages have no blueprint fields; introducing a configurable cache store for asset metadata (cacheStore) to optimize asset-related lookups; and making the revisions path configurable via environment variables for deployment flexibility. Additional improvements include toast notifications for asset upload feedback to enhance user experience and REST API enhancements to apply query scopes with improved filtering. These changes collectively improve business value through safer data handling, richer API capabilities, configurable caching and paths, and clearer end-user feedback.

Feb 1, 2025February 2025 performance-focused monthly summary for statamic/cms: Delivered two new features enabling richer data access and flexible caching, fixed two critical bugs affecting output reliability, and strengthened testing around core repositories. The GraphQL integration now exposes form sections via a new SectionType, enabling clients to query display, instructions, and form fields. Asset caching gained configurability with a new option to use a custom cache store for AssetContainerContents. Key fixes ensure stability: Nav Tag gracefully handles missing entries by returning an empty result and avoiding unnecessary rendering; RevisionRepository.whereKey now consistently returns a collection, with tests validating toArray usage. These changes improve reliability, data accessibility via GraphQL, and caching flexibility, delivering business value through fewer edge-case outputs, more robust integration points, and scalable performance. Technologies demonstrated include GraphQL, PHP repository patterns, caching strategies, and test-driven development.
