News, updates, and guides from the JekCMS team
Version 1.5.0 adds automatic duplicate post detection across all API webhooks, a built-in duplicate finder tool in the admin panel, and intelligent featured image thumbnail fallback using the image proxy. Applied to all 14 installations simultaneously.
Version 1.4.0 marks the most significant architectural change since JekCMS launched. The language engine has been completely rewritten, cutting translation load time by 73% and adding right-to-left script support for Arabic and Hebrew. This release also ships with a redesigned admin interface, a new media library with bulk AVIF conversion, and an overhauled API authentication system.
