PayloadCMS
Payload CMS v3.41 and v3.42 have been released. In 3.41, you can now optionally exclude collection documents from appearing in the browse-by-folder view. Document drawers have also been added to the edit/create options for folders.
v3.42 included some work for the import-export plugin and added an additional translation.
A few bug fixes were also introduced that enable the proper use of the TextStateFeature I mentioned in the last newsletter. My tutorial video for that is in editing and will be out soon.
Also, a DateField type has been exported for the form builder plugin, which just adds another field type for you to use.
Featured Tutorial
A new HTML Converter was released back in version 3.28, which made some of my earlier advice obsolete. So, I recorded a new video that walks through how to use the new converter in a way that’s easy to follow. Check it out below!
Next.js
Surprisingly, there was no patch release for Next.js in the last two weeks. Most of the work done has been for the canary branch for 15.4, but there’s no indication that 15.4 is coming soon.
Vercel, on the other hand, has several large improvements ship these past two weeks.
Fluid Compute supports ISR and ODR now.
Bot protection is generally available.
You now have the ability to filter for fatal function errors.
Some general improvements have been made to the team overview page. Think things like activity sorting and filtering by git repo.
TailwindCSS
Tailwind v4.1.9 was released. This included fixes and no new features. These changes are mostly just improvements to the compiling, migrating, and rendering process.
Shortly after, v4.1.10 was released as well. This release only has one fix, which was to fix the CSS when percentage values were used with calc in arbitrary values.
