New features
Custom host sitemaps
We recently released `getSitemap`, a first-class way to create a sitemap for the pages you have built in a Makeswift custom host . The return type of getSitemap is:
type Sitemap = {
id: string
loc: string
lastmod?: string
changefreq?: 'always' | 'hourly' | 'daily' | 'weekly' | 'monthly' | 'yearly' | 'never'
priority?: number
alternateRefs?: {
hreflang: string
href: string
}[]
}[]It includes everything you need to create the XML response yourself, but you can also pass this data directly into `next-sitemap`'s `getServerSideSitemapLegacy` to create the XML automatically.
export async function getServerSideProps(ctx) {
const makeswift = new Makeswift('<makeswift_site_api_key>', { runtime })
const sitemap = await makeswift.getSitemap()
return getServerSideSitemapLegacy(ctx, sitemap)
}
export default function Sitemap() {}For more details check out our new docs section on creating a sitemap.
improvements & fixes
- Added a variable `min-width` to the `RichText` control in `Inline` mode.
- Added default lorem ipsum text to `RichText` controls similar to how the `Text` component works.
- Moved “Edit URL” form to the Page tab in the right sidebar.
- Added a preview for the resulting URL in the “Edit URL” form.
- Added a label property to the custom font declarations API.
- Created an update notice that is triggered when you attempt to use an out-of-date `RichText` control.
- Optimized the left sidebar animation open/close performance.
- Updated the left sidebar to have an adjustable width.
- Fixed the warning that is triggered when you attempt to use the same HTML `id` on multiple components.
- Fixed a potential client-side error that occurred when resetting a `RichText` control.
- Fixed a bug with the new sidebar blocking selection in the builder.
- Fixed a bug with resetting `RichText` where resetting the content also cleared all text styles.
- Fixed inconsistent rendering of escaped line breaks (`\\r`) in `RichText`.
- Before Chrome was not rendering these line breaks and Safari was.
- Both browsers are now rendering said line breaks as expected.
- These line breaks can be created by c/p’ing from Microsoft Word on Windows.
- Fixed a bug where escaped characters were being encoded twice in page URLs.
