We've just realised that we've surpassed 200 releases since Kirby 3 in 2019! 🤯 It's incredible how simply showing up can lead to so much progress over time, but you only really notice it in hindsight. {{ put inspirational quote about a slow drip and a hollow stone here }}

Adam Neely has created an absolute masterpiece about GenAI and Music, which is very much applicable to any craft. I don't think I've seen anything comparable yet: www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8dc...

The video is clearly targeted at Americans, but it has some fantastic points about renewable energy that I haven't seen phrased like this before: www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtQ9... Don't skip the second part though. It's even more important.
You are being misled about renewable energy technology.

Looking forward to breathless media coverage of drivers of internal combustion engine vehicles who are suffering from range anxiety because gas stations are becoming ghost stations.
The EU‘s fight over the ‚combustion engine ban‘ was a waste of the public‘s attention. Performative politics. By 2035, collectors with special licenses may still want one, if they can pay for the fuel and find some last gas station. History doesn‘t proceed in a linear fashion.

It's impossible to consume world news without stabbing yourself with a knitting needle afterwards. In fact, the stabbing is the more enjoyable part.

It still feels like yesterday and a hundred years ago when v1 launched without the panel, a PDF cheat sheet for all available methods, a red logo and zero expectations. 14 years later you are still supporting us. Stronger than ever. Thank you so much 💛

It might sound weird, but we don't have any plans to bake AI into @getkirby.com We are well aware that a significant part of our customers would not appreciate forcing AI upon them. And we respect that.

What's new in v5.2? We've managed to achieve better performance for our Panel forms, especially for setups with deeply nested fields. Running views for all our fields (of course a very theoretical scenario), we achieved a reduction in time of almost 70%!

This early developer preview comes with Vue 3 support and mainly aims at all plugin developers. It does not include new features yet. But we want to start the migration process early together, to keep it as painless as possible and move our ecosystem forward in a responsible way.
