Preview008 is out now and will be the last preview before we ship the beta, which is expected on Wednesday 🎉 https://github.com/umbraco/Umbraco.CMS.Backoffice/releases/tag/v14.0.0--preview008

Is there a quick TL:DR version of whats new or changed we need to be aware of

@Warren Buckley I think bugfixes is the name of the game. Should be possible to create and publish individual variants now as well, and you can register your own actions in a new type called "workspaceActionMenuItem" which will appear in a small popup menu next to the workspace actions.

Another manifest to learn. Suggestion take a screenshot and highlight all the different extensions. I can't keep up with all these new terms :S

We are going to document each and every one on the UmbracoDocs. The only question is when.

Would suggest its one of the priorties for the docs team or perhaps the community team to help out with perhaps?!

The BackOfficeController for one. Don't know if you depended on any of that. All the Smidge tag helpers as well. And some of the old AngularJsServerVariables stuff.

Yeh already crested a normal API controller (new package project) not an upgrade

Did you see the PR removing the Backoffice? Notice the amount of lines: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1213119933282787378/1213145788503293982/image.png?ex=65f4690f&is=65e1f40f&hm=e50635bd9f0750442ba55cf1c3ca21370eb304bef4f09fdd0335ea006705e1f3&

Anything changed around, naming wise from the clientside stuff ?!

I think only internal stuff. We renamed the base controller from

UmbBaseController

to

UmbControllerBase

but I don't think anyone should be using that directly from outside, albeit it is a public controller

Nope not used that

No worries, happy to answer

Im using it 😦 - should i not be ? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1213119933282787378/1213156509739913287/image.png?ex=65f4730b&is=65e1fe0b&hm=2ee459fd7914a5692d60a71ef64a624bc6f0507e6d7cf065e241afe1ae6d16e3&

It makes sense for your contexts to extend the base controller depending on where you are using them, e.g. if they are consuming further contexts. Your repositories could be extending the

UmbDetailRepositoryBase

or the

UmbItemRepositoryBase

depending on your needs. In doing so, they might be able to work with the workspace and collection elements out of the box, but again, that entirely depends on your needs, and it's probably fine what you are doing here 🙂

For anyone else the website program.cs no longer uses

u.UseInstallerEndpoints();

in the

.WithEndpoints(=>{});

call If your upgrading from 006->008 for the site

ahh yes backend - also they deleted 250,000 lines of code 🙂

@Warren Buckley also _ViewImports.cshtml no longer should import Smidge tag helpers, unless you of course installed it yourself and want to keep using it.
