January 2026: Delivered substantial UI and editor enhancements in frappe-ui, strengthened localization readiness, and stabilized core rendering for reliable user experiences. Key features include a new App Switcher for faster app navigation, i18n support via a translation plugin (with removal of legacy translation paths where appropriate), and a richer content editing experience through a migration to TipTap v3 with paste styles and editor restructuring. Navigation and content structure were improved with follow-header-on-click behavior and actionable breadcrumbs hrefs. A new Tables feature plus related fixes broaden content capabilities, while TOC performance and rendering stability were improved. Collaboration and sharing flows were enhanced with an integrated share dialog and tag input. Maintenance tasks—running property generation and enforcing required entry paths—contributed to build stability. Asset improvements (drive logo) and UI fixes (spacing) further polish the product. Overall impact: faster, more reliable navigation and editing, better localization readiness, and a more scalable, maintainable codebase for future work.
