Fix all the popover things!

Popovers and dialogs in the studio just got a lot better. We have fixed several recurring issues related to layer placement and scrolling. In addition:

• Escape only closes the topmost layer. You can hit Shift+Escape to close all.
• Click outside to close works in a more reliable way.
• Weird scrolling issues should be fixed.

🐛 Notable bugfixes

• Fixed a bug that caused markDefs on block text to be duplicated with the same key.
• Misc. improvements in the command line interface (CLI).

Jump to referenced documents

You can now click on a link icon on references to jump to the referenced document.

Moar query strings!

Query string length limit for GET-queries is now 11kB, a substantial increase from the previous 2kB. This means that more requests will be GETs instead of POSTs, which will make more queries cacheable and cut down on the overall roundtrip time for larger queries.

Block-tools module

We have made an own module with various tools for our block content. Most notably is the new HTML Deserializer which will convert HTML into the Sanity block format. This is a great tool for pouring existing HTML content into your Sanity datasets. Read more

Dropped Node 4 support

We are starting to run into several dependencies which are no longer supporting node 4. This is getting quite tedious, and even though Node 4 is still in LTS for another 6 months, we feel we can justify the bump because this is developer tooling that will run locally, not on servers which might be hard to upgrade.

Schema validation!

The Sanity Studio will now refuse to load if the schema contains critical errors, and give helpful hints about how the errors can be fixed. The validation is by no means complete, and we will keep detecting problems and adding helpful warnings/errors in the future.

Any schema problems that are not critical will will appear as warnings in the developer tool console.

Schema type document

We have introduced a new schema type named document. This is the type to use for all the schema types that you want to be able to create documents from. Read more about how to start using this type here.

🐛 Notable bugfixes

• The input for datetime now supports readOnly.
• Reference select will now position its dropdown menu above the field if there's not enough space below.
• Fixed an issue with reference search yielding a query that targeted wrong fields.

👓 Sharper UI

🆙 Batch upload files to arrays

We have been thinking hard about how to provide generics for uploading stuff to Sanity. The groundwork is in place, and this release enables batch uploading files from local disk to arrays by drag and drop:

We will expand on this, enabling upload hooks for converting local files (and clipboards) to whatever schema content you'd like.

🏞 Select image from library

Instead of just uploading a new image, you can now choose images from previously uploaded images:

📓 Full changelog

The shiny new feature in this version is the ability to stage changes before publishing ✨.

A thing to be aware of is that when fetching documents in front-end(s), you'll now have to explicitly exclude draft documents by including the constraint !(_id in path 'drafts.**') in queries, or else you may end up with unpublished drafts in the result set. This is undoubtedly a little cumbersome and we're discussing how we can avoid this in the future.

Type sanity upgrade to get this version and don't hesitate to let us know if you experience any trouble.
