In the November 2020 edition of Gatsby Gazette, Hashim Warren highlights a series of new features and updates for the Gatsby framework, designed to enhance user experience and performance. The File System Route API simplifies page creation, while the revamped Gatsby Image component improves loading speeds and helps maintain high Lighthouse scores. Additionally, Gatsby plugins now support schema-based option validation to streamline site setup, and the WPGraphQL plugin for WordPress has reached version 1.0, offering a more efficient alternative to the native REST API. The gatsby-source-contentful plugin has been updated to better manage Contentful's Rich Text field, although it introduces breaking changes. These updates, part of the Gatsby v2.27 release, also include experimental features and essential bug fixes, underscoring Gatsby's ongoing commitment to improving its ecosystem.
