Release NotesSeason 1Episode 3June 13 2023Directus 10.3 has landed with a huge new feature - WebSockets support! In this video, Jan gives you the roundup of what's notable in our latest release.
Speaker 0: Hi. My name is Jan. I'm a software engineer at Directus, and I'm going to tell you about what's new in version 10.3. WebSocket support in Directus. Directus 10.3 includes new functionality to enable real time features in your by subscribing to changes in the collection.
What makes it even cooler is that our WebSockets implementation isn't just read only, but also allows you to send create, update, and delete operations over the same WebSocket connection. Now you can build things like live chats, data dashboards, and notification systems, and be confident that the data you have is up to date. Because our implementation works by emitting events that happen in your database, you don't have to worry about data persistence. What's in your director's project is always the one true source, as well as a standard WebSocket interface. We also allow you to get real time data using GraphQL subscriptions.
We have a whole heap of guides in our docs to help you get started with real time and hope you find this exciting as we do. Internal package type docs for extension builders. The directives you use is made of many smaller packages we maintain. And if you build extensions, there's a good chance that you have tried to figure out how they work. To help, we have published auto generated documentation for these packages to take away guesswork and help you understand how you can leverage them in your extensions.
There's still some key parts in directives that aren't split into separate packages, but watch the space. Albanian language support in directors data studio. All of the text in directors data studio supports multiple languages. As of Director's 10.3, we now have Albanian as a new language coming in hard and with full support. Translations are provided by the community, and you can find out more in the contributing sections of our docs.
We also wanna thank our community for their contributions towards this release. Speaking about Albanian support, thanks to Nino for taking this language from 0 to 100%. Thanks to Augustine for fixing a small bug with some of our operators, such as null and empty. Thanks to Craig, add, and enter for fixing typos in our docs. Directus 10.3 is now available on NPM and DocHub and will be available in Directus cloud within the next few days.
Thanks for joining me, and see you in the next release.
