Neos 9.2 Beta Released
A mini post announcing our beta release
Marc Henry Schultz
It's my honour to announce this release, which we have been polishing for weeks now.
We release a beta first to allow ourselves some extra testing here - on this very neos.io site ;)
Feature - Content Stream Layers
New concept for efficiently storing the content repository
Fast publishing and workspace syncing
This upgrade - and the final 9.2 release - will come with a new database schema for the content graph. Thus for new projects in staging you might consider using this next version already and help us finalise the testing. You can try out our new features and performance earlier and later easierTM upgrade to Neos 9.2.
What has happened so far?
Before Neos would copy the full structure of the site for your user workspace to draft changes in. Then with your workspace copy we can discard the changes or publish some. After these workspace interactions we always require a new copy. That meant that publishing any change - large or small - would require a full new copy of the site.
How did we optimise this?
Without going to much into detail, we have build a sophisticated copy on write model to ensure creating an empty copy of a workspace is no work and does not need to copy the full structure of the site. Still we keep all features and the behaviour of Neos 9 - just store way less duplicated data in the database and can thus operate faster.
Big THANK YOU <3
Building the content stream layer optimisation took relentless amount of effort and time and three Neos sprints. A very big thank you to all people supporting this effort!
