The recent update for Strapi highlights significant progress and developments, including the introduction of a new job position for a Product Owner based in Paris, the recommendation to use "npx create-strapi-app my-project" as the official way to create Strapi projects, and a commitment to improving user experience by moving away from global CLI commands in favor of local scripts. The update also reveals that Strapi now supports Node.js versions 10 and 12, addressing installation issues faced by over 25% of users. Upcoming features such as Groups and Repeatable fields are on track for release, with a pre-release candidate expected in mid-August. Strapi has also developed a new visual component to address user pain points, specifically the inability to display relational fields in list views, emphasizing their ongoing commitment to enhancing user satisfaction.
