CrafterCMS Announces Release of Version 4.0

New release of CrafterCMS innovates with major new content authoring capabilities that enable composability of all types of content-rich digital experiences.

CrafterCMS, the leading open-source Git-based headless CMS for enterprises, announced the general availability release of its version 4. The new release includes three major new capabilities: 1) a brand new Experience Builder for composing digital experiences from reusable plug-ins and components, and for true in-context editing and preview that supports all front-end technologies and any digital channels, 2) a brand new Crafter Studio content authoring application, built in React on top of CrafterCMS’s API-first headless content authoring platform, that is faster and enables content teams to create, edit, review, and publish more productively than ever before, and 3) a brand new plug-in framework and expanded marketplace that allows developers to quickly build and easily maintain reusable components and back-end integrations.

“Our new content authoring tools enable content teams to easily compose any type of digital experience,” said Russ Danner, VP of Products for CrafterCMS. “Through drag and drop experience building, in-context content creation and editing, and low-code/no-code reusable plug-ins in our expanded CrafterCMS Marketplace, enterprises can rapidly compose digital experience applications faster than ever before. With CrafterCMS version 4.0, we’ve built a best–in-class content authoring experience delivering unprecedented capabilities for a headless CMS. Developers can build apps with any type of front end technology, while content authors benefit from powerful and easy-to-use capabilities regardless of the technology or digital channel.”
