Directus v11.15: Native Collaborative Editing, AI Assistant Goes GA, and One-Click Deployments

Directus v11.15 introduces several significant features, including native collaborative editing, a production-ready AI Assistant, and a new deployment module for Vercel, all seamlessly integrated into its core platform. The collaborative editing function, now built-in, allows multiple users to edit a record simultaneously without conflicts, utilizing WebSocket connections and Redis for real-time synchronization across multi-instance deployments. The AI Assistant, formerly known as AI Chat, now offers multi-provider support, context-aware interactions, and a dedicated sidebar within the visual editor, enhancing user experience by providing relevant responses based on actual content. Additionally, the new deployment module simplifies the process of triggering Vercel deployments directly from the Data Studio, reducing the need for external tools or developer involvement. Other updates include improvements in the revision comparison feature, support for relational fields on bar charts, and various bug fixes, cementing v11.15 as a robust upgrade for users seeking enhanced collaboration, AI integration, and streamlined deployment processes.
