What's new in EmDash 0.5.0 — and everything since 0.1.0

EmDash has come a long way since the initial 0.1.0 preview release. Here's a recap of what's been added over the past few versions:

0.2.0 — The First Big Feature Drop

• Plugin lifecycle hooks for publish/unpublish events
• Per-collection XML sitemaps with proper lastmod timestamps
• Breadcrumb support in public page context
• Repeater field type for structured repeating data
• New siteUrl config (replaced passkeyPublicOrigin)
• Plus a laundry list of fixes: media routing, SEO/byline scaling, permissions, remote CLI login, plugin activation/deactivation hooks, WXR import improvements

0.3.0 — Container-Ready

• Runtime S3 config via environment variables — no rebuilds needed for Node/container deployments
• Defensive SQL identifier validation
• Fixed admin loading when installed from npm

0.4.0 — APIs, MCP, and Going Global

• Richer plugin content API fields: locale, slug, status, publishedAt
• rel="nlweb" support in page metadata
• afterDelete hooks for permanent content deletion
• MCP endpoint enabled by default with bearer-token auth
• Performance: reduced logged-out/cold-start query counts
• Fixed visual editor save/publish race condition
• Massive i18n expansion: Basque, Brazilian Portuguese, Simplified Chinese, full Lingui coverage

0.5.0 — Polish & Quality of Life

• RTL language support infrastructure in the admin
• JSON field editor for content forms
• Fixed invite flow and passkey registration
• Fixed sandboxed plugin loading in Cloudflare worker loader
• Fixed table block rendering in Portable Text (sanitized links, improved styling)

If you started with 0.1.0 and haven't updated yet, the jump to 0.5.0 brings better plugin APIs, built-in MCP support, broader internationalization, and a more stable editing experience.
