What shipped in Externa Core and the official starters — who should upgrade and how.
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.
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.
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.
