Heads up! This article was written before Webiny 6.0 was released and may contain outdated information.
Webiny is the AI-programmable CMS that gives enterprises full control. Build, extend and automate your content operations with a platform designed to be shaped by both developers and AI agents.
We’re excited to announce Webiny 5.42.0, packed with new features and improvements to enhance your experience! This release brings even more powerful content management capabilities, enhanced developer tools, and critical performance upgrades.
✅ Fully Delete a Content Model and All Entries
Now, you can completely remove a content model along with all of its entries and folders. This ensures a clean but also irreversible deletion process, preventing outdated or unused models from cluttering your CMS. Use this feature with caution, as deleted entries cannot be restored.
✅ Full-Screen Editor for Content Entries
We’ve introduced a full-screen editor for a more immersive content creation experience! This new interface enhances usability, especially on smaller screens, while aligning the design with our Page Builder editor for a consistent workflow. If needed, you can revert to the previous editor using the cmsLegacyEntryEditor: true feature flag.
✅** Yarn 4.6.0 Upgrade**
We’ve upgraded to Yarn 4.6.0, ensuring compatibility with the latest features and improvements. For a seamless transition, check out our upgrade guide.
✅ New Logger for System Monitoring
Webiny now includes an internal Logger that records errors and other critical system information in a DynamoDB log table. While this feature is mainly for internal use, developers can leverage it for additional monitoring needs.
✅ Updated Dependencies
We’ve updated several dependencies to improve stability and performance. The upgrade process will notify you if any of your project’s packages are out of sync and provide an option to align them with Webiny’s latest versions.
✅ Removed apps/api/graphql/src/types.ts (New Projects Only)
New Webiny projects will no longer include the types.ts file. Instead, the Context interface can be imported directly from the @webiny/api-serverless-cms package, ensuring a more streamlined and type-safe development experience.
✅ MailerContext Added to the Context Interface
Developers can now access the mailer object in a type-safe way when writing backend extensions, enabling seamless email integration.
✅ Default Throttling Limits for Amazon API Gateway
To prevent excessive request failures, we’ve introduced default throttling limits:
🔹 Burst limit: 5000 (maximum concurrent requests)
🔹 Rate limit: 10,000 (requests per second)
You can customize these limits in your webiny.application.ts configuration if required.
🚨 This release does NOT introduce any major breaking changes, but if you are upgrading from an older version, be sure to check our upgrade guide.
