Highlights of Wagtail 2.15
The release of Wagtail 2.15 is scheduled for early November. The update will include several enhancements that developers and editors are excited about.
Improved support for tables
We're pleased to say Wagtail 2.15 contains native support for tables within StreamField, giving editors a wide range of field types (e.g. rich text, images) and great flexibility. This feature was developed by Matt Westcott, and sponsored by YouGov.
You changed my Snippet!
2.15 includes history for both Snippets and ModelAdmin. This starts to bring them closer to pages, though they currently still lack revisions or draft and published statuses.
Full-text search
Search is critical for any CMS. We're happy to announce that Wagtail 2.15 now includes a new search backend. It now supports full-text search for MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, and MariaDB databases. This feature was developed by Aldán Creo as part of Google Summer of Code.
Dates and events
We plan to release Wagtail 2.15 in the first week of November, but we encourage users to test it now using the release candidate. Tune into our upcoming What's new in Wagtail webinar for a peek at some future changes (including the newly reimagined page editor).
