Content Hub v2.0-0

This major release introduces Projects as the core organizational structure, enhancing multi-tenant capabilities and content separation.

Added

  • Project Organization: Introduced Projects as the primary organizational unit. Entries, Templates, Headers, and Footers are now managed within specific projects.
  • Project Dashboards: Added a dedicated dashboard for each project (/projects/:id) displaying project-specific metrics and activity.
  • Roadmap Feature:
    • Added a new 'Roadmap' entry type.
    • Added a public Kanban-style Roadmap board view (/roadmap/:projectId).
    • Added project setting to enable/disable the public roadmap.

    • Public/Private visibility control.
    • Optional password protection for public projects.
    • Roadmap feature toggle.

  • Per-Project Sidebar Ordering: Added the ability to reorder sidebar entries on a per-project basis via a drag-and-drop interface.
  • Theme Toggle: Re-introduced the Light/Dark theme toggle for the admin interface.

Changes

  • Scope Shift: Most features (Entries, Templates, Headers, Footers, Archiving, Sidebar Order) now operate within the context of a selected project.
  • Dashboard Structure: The main dashboard (/) provides a global overview across projects, while project-specific dashboards (/projects/:id) show detailed project metrics.
  • Sidebar Logic: The public view sidebar now displays entries specifically marked 'Show in Sidebar' for that project. Roadmap entries are excluded from the standard sidebar.
  • API & Routes: Backend routes and API endpoints have been significantly restructured around projects (e.g., /projects/:projectId/...).
