4.1.0-rc.1

🎉 Features

New page create dialog features

The page create dialog now allows to hide the title and/or slug field by defining a string template that will be used instead

create:
  title: "{{ page.location }} – {{ page.date.toDate('M Y') }}"
  slug: "{{ page.location.slug }}-{{ page.date.toDate('Y-m-d') }}"

Custom fields from the create dialog will be accessible through Kirby query starting with page. (in this example the fields location and date. If no custom fields are defined, the create dialog will be skipped and the page immediately created. #6154

Color field: query and API support for options

myColorField:
  type: color
  options:
    type: query
    query: kirby.option('my.colors')

// only values
return [
    'my' => [
        'colors' => [
            '#3e3e3e',
            '#aaa',
            '#ddd',
        ]
    ]
];

// values -> labels
return [
    'my' => [
        'colors' => [
            '#3e3e3e' => 'Color A' ,
            '#aaa'    => 'Color B',
            '#ddd'    => 'Color C',
        ]
    ]
];

New sharpen option for thumbnails

When resizing images, you can now sharpen them. This often enhances the image quality when downscaling images.

$page->image('my-image.jpg')->thumb([
    'width' => 300,
    'height' => 200,
    'sharpen' => true
]);

You can also pass an integer value to control the sharpening effect. Higher numbers create sharper images. The default is 50.

$page->image('my-image.jpg')->thumb([
    'width' => 300,
    'height' => 200,
    'sharpen' => 25
]);

Thank you very much to @dgsiegel for implementing this feature. #6164
