Blog
Use Externa as a headless CMS: Public CMS API, starters, and frontend patterns.
A rebuilt admin with transparent AI answers, an optional MCP server, human approval for AI write tools, theme presets, GCS and Azure file storage, WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility work, and new Public API batch writes and filters.
PHP CVEs 2026-109618 and 2026-109619 (CVSS 9.2 RCE). Update to 8.4.27 or 8.5.12; what Externa users must do.
Patch for draft/revision field renames, npm audit clean-up, and the repair-renamed-field-drafts artisan command.
Why 1.1.1 matters: NuxtPage instead of slot, h3 pin for getQuery, engines ≥22.13.0 — plus what 1.1.0 tooling bumps included.
Turn the official Externa Next.js starter into a blog: Articles pack, public role Read, and Public CMS API list/post pages.
EN/IT landing page with the Externa Nuxt starter: content languages, Translation workspace, and locale-aware Nitro API calls.
Open Externa drafts in your Next.js app: Live Preview URL, GET /api/v1/preview, same components as production.
Next starter 1.0.1–1.0.2 and Nuxt starter 1.0.1: patched Next, React, and Nuxt tooling deps. Who should update and how.
Approvals, translation workspace, kanban/calendar, SSO, Meilisearch, git export, Slack/Telegram, and the Nuxt starter — all opt-in.
First stable externa-next-starter: App Router, server-only API key, collection auto-discovery, Node 24 — paired with Core 1.1.0.
Post-GA cut: Live Preview tokens, draft/publish UX, scheduled publish, OpenAPI, webhooks UI, Next starter, and AI tool approval.
What GA means for operators: Packagist install, Docker quick-deploy, webhook secret enforcement, and how to upgrade from beta.4.
