Release v5.6.1 is a focused stability pass on top of the v4.11.1 → v5.6.1 range. It also includes a handful of larger 5.x additions in the tracked work, especially around the Rich Editor, tables, authorization, and navigation.
What's new
- The Rich Editor gains mentions, native image resize handles, a new table cell header toggle tool, and support for showing a tool label next to the icon with
hiddenLabel(false). It also lets you define allowed link protocols, so links likemailto:can be added when needed. (#17483, #18396, #18517, #18247, #18502) - The
Getutility gets a richer typed API with helpers likestring(),integer(),float(),boolean(),array(),date(),enum(),filled(), andblank(). (#18228) - Forms and tables pick up a few useful controls: attach actions can now use a table select for more complex records, checkbox lists can provide a description from the record, tabs can use a new horizontal scrollable navigation mode, and repeaters can inject the current row index into evaluated closures as
$repeaterIndex. (#18352, #18443, #18310, #18351) - Tables add
summaries(pageSummary: bool|null, totalSummary: bool|null)to control page and total summaries independently, andpersistColumnsInSession()to opt in or out of storing column state in the session. (#18730, #18631) - Authorization helpers now accept
UnitEnumvalues inauthorizeIndividualRecords()and theHasAuthorizationtrait. (#18865, #18856) - Tenant resolution can reuse an existing tenant model when it has already been set upstream, avoiding an extra tenant lookup. (#18513)
