Directus 10.1 introduces over 70 new features, improvements, and optimizations, enhancing user experience and data management capabilities. Noteworthy updates include the release of extensions that were previously exclusive to Directus Cloud, now available in Directus Core, such as a panel bundle for data visualization, a Kanban view extension for project management, and a new block editor interface inspired by Notion. The file picker drawer has been improved for better navigation, while a pressure-based rate limiter has been added to the API to manage server load more effectively. Additionally, ESM is now the default for API extension bundles, ensuring better compatibility within the node ecosystem. The release reflects significant community contributions, and Directus 10.1 is now available on npm and Docker Hub, with plans to go live on Directus Cloud shortly.
