Monthly Update April 2020

Strapi, an open-source headless CMS, is undergoing significant updates, including the introduction of a new Media Library and a revamped design spearheaded by the new lead designer, Kevin. The team is prioritizing creating a stable version by addressing backend issues, with a targeted release in May, while also planning a major version update to improve data management, including pagination and metadata support through the API. The upcoming Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) system will allow developers to implement custom policies, although some features will be limited to the Enterprise Edition, which remains open-source except for licensing details. Strapi is committed to balancing sustainability with open-source accessibility, encouraging community feedback to guide development decisions.
