We have just released the biggest single update ever done to DatoCMS!

Here's a succinct list of all the changes that we have released.

Most importantly a big set of features strictly linked with the media area that you can read in the blog post.

Very briefly:

• video support via integration with Mux

• HSL video streaming

• thumbnail and meta data extraction

• extraction of meta data and Blurhash from images

• redesign of the UI to support different image layouts and dimensions

• advanced sorting and filtering

• shared/personal filters to group and organize content

• video previews

• show where the image is used

• the APIs have changed in a backward compatible manner to support all these changes and also our clients are supporting all the new features already

While doing that we also worked on a set of related feature requests:

• Filter now persists while editing items

• Audio previews

• Remove infinite scroll in favour of pagination

• Allow the user to group uploads in the media area we are supporting this via a mixture of tags and filters, with the possiblity of saving and sharing them across the team

• Link from model settings to content a little but useful feature :)

• Keep scope when editing nested objects / use record back button to go back to parent record by opening modals when editing nested content

• Require image alt text
