It’s here, the anticipated release of Craft 3.1. This game-changing update includes over 100 enhancements that drastically improve collaboration and deployment workflows with Craft.
- Project Config introduces a new way of keeping your sections, fields, and other project configuration settings all in sync across multiple environments, without sharing database backups.
- Several Control Panel settings can now be set to environment variables, keeping sensitive information out of your database and your project config file.
- Most things are soft-deleted now, and can be restored within 30 days.
- Editing system messages is no longer limited to admins, and can be done from the new System Messages utility.
- The new allowAdminChanges config setting makes it possible to prevent administrative changes from being made on production.
- Live Preview now works across multiple domains.
Craft 3.1 also includes a redesigned Plugin Store that shows plugin changelogs, lets you purchase plugins with extended update durations, and supports plugins with multiple editions (like Commerce Lite and Pro).
