A match made in heaven
Our brand-new Blocks field is the perfect solution for complex single-column layouts and long-form text.
It brings the best of the Editor and the Builder plugins into the core. Combining a great WYSIWYG editing experience with fully customizable blocks. Learn more →
Yes you can
Together with the new Blocks field we are also introducing a powerful new Layout field. Arrange blocks in multiple columns and build complex page layouts. Assign custom layout settings and fine-tune the generated HTML in your templates. Learn more →
3.5 comes with major enhancements for your login flow. Enable password-less login for secure, one-time code authentication.
The new authentication enhancements now offer a secure way for your users to reset their passwords.
Secure standard password-based authentication with an additional one-time code verification layer for increased security.
The new date and time fields are a joy to work with and open completely new ways to enter dates with custom date formats and intervals.
You don’t need the full power of the Blocks? Maybe just some inline HTML? Then the new Writer field is here for you. Create single-line HTML with formats like bold, italic, underline or links.
The new list field can be used if you want to create simple ordered or unordered lists in a more visual way than with Markdown.
The Panel search has been redesigned and now shows nice previews for pages, files and users.
Changing the page title or the page URL is now done in the same dialog. With this simplified workflow you can instantly see when your page title and slug no longer match and should be updated.
Kirby's page status icons now have distinctive forms to make them accessible for people with color blindness.
We completely overhauled Kirby’s Starterkit to feature a new design together with the new blocks and layout fields.

But we also put a lot of effort in keeping our technical debt in Kirby as low as possible. Sometimes such breaking changes are necessary to move forward with a clean code base.
You might wonder why there are breaking changes in a minor release according to semver.
We stick to the following versioning pattern:
{generation}.{major}.{minor}.{patch}This release is Kirby 3.5.0.0
Traditionally, we combine patch and minor releases though and never really need the fourth versioning level.
With this release we drop support for PHP 7.2, which has reached end of life. But we also introduce support for the brand-new stable version of PHP 8.0, which has been released on December 1st.
format option3.5.0 is dropping the format option of the date field. This is a breaking change which we will reverse in 3.5.1.
accept option for file blueprintsIf no custom accept restrictions are defined in the file blueprint, Kirby will now limit the accepted uploads to the types image, document, archive, audio and video by default. This protects your sites against unexpected uploads like code files that could be used to attack the server or the visitor's browsers.
You can customize the accepted file types in the file blueprint.

A huge thank-you to Tim Ötting for creating and maintaining the fabulous Builder plugin. Tim agreed that we could use his plugin as inspiration for our new Blocks field as a replacement for his great plugin. Your work really means a lot to us, Tim!
Thank you to all the contributors who helped with pull requests, translations and tests for this release. Without you, it wouldn't be possible.
Thank you to our amazing community for your ongoing support. Without all your feedback, patience and passion, Kirby wouldn't be where it is today! 💛
