We’re excited to announce that Craft 5.5 has been released, bringing a new batch of authoring, accessibility, and development improvements.
Authoring workflow improvements. Changes made to Matrix, CKEditor, and Addresses fields are now saved to a draft of the parent entry, rather than published immediately. And nested element cards now reveal when they’re new or edited.
Audio and video previews. Your audio and video assets’ edit pages now include media players, so authors can preview media right from the control panel.
Range fields and custom options. Craft 5.5 introduces a new “Range” field type, which displays a slider input for choosing a value within a specified range. Checkboxes and Radio Buttons fields now allow custom options.
Link label and target inputs. Link fields can now be configured to show inputs for the link label and target.
Show attributes in element cards. It’s now possible to include element attributes like ID and Post Date in cards, alongside custom fields.
Lots more. The full release notes can be viewed on GitHub. Happy updating!
