Summary

Strapi has announced the release of Strapi beta version .16, featuring several bug fixes and the introduction of the highly requested Repeatable Groups feature, aimed at enhancing the developer experience. This new feature allows developers to preconfigure groups of fields that can be reused throughout a project, and content managers to dynamically build pages using these groups. The Repeatable Groups can be created and managed via the Content Type Builder, enabling a flexible way to structure content. An example use case is demonstrated with the Foodadvisor app, where restaurant opening hours are converted from plain HTML to a repeatable group structure, impacting both data representation in the Content Manager and the front-end's processing of data. Strapi encourages users to migrate to this version and invites contributions from the community, highlighting the collaborative nature of its development driven by over 200 community committers.
