What's New In Directus Version 10.8
Release NotesSeason 1Episode 8December 20 2023Directus 10.8 has huge new updates for our theming engine, including a new extension type and awesome tools to build themes visually.
Speaker 0: Hello. My name is Kevin and today I get to tell you what's new in Directus version 10.8. New custom theming options. In Directus 10.7, we released a new theming engine where you could set variables for a bunch of different theming options inside of Directus, and we would take care of the mapping between those values and the data studio markup. Now in directors 10.8, we're adding new options to this section in settings, including the ability to style forms, borders, more colors, public pages and popovers.
Introducing custom themes as an extension type. Instead of just altering the existing light and dark themes inside of Directus, you can now create and distribute custom themes. And the cool thing is that you can use the theming default settings in the Directus Data Studio to make a theme that kind of feels like what you want. And then copy the value out of that interface and use it as the theme extension rules, which basically means you can develop custom themes kind of inside of the Director's Data Studio. A really cool experience to knowing exactly how it's going to look and feel.
Community contributions. Like always, we have to thank the community for their contributions towards the release of Directus 10.8. Thank you to JD for adding the ability to ignore specific paths from the HTTP logger and thank you to Benjamin for allowing the use of custom collection icons in the draw header. Just a short release note today, but we hope you love the changes we've made to Directus 10.8. It's now available on both Docker Hub and on NPM.
And we'll see you in the next release. Bye for now.
