Rigel CMS 1.0.0-rc.1

1.0.0-rc.1 is a release candidate, not a stable 1.0 release. The release source is commit 2ae263e. The package uses the rc distribution tag.

Included in RC1

  • An Astro integration with the editor at /rigel/, local development writes and a GitHub repository backend.
  • Developer-declared JSON documents and reusable shared records, section objects, keyed arrays and references. Existing defineCopy content remains supported.
  • Prepared HTML previews with explicit field bindings, in-memory draft updates, separate draft and live hosts, and sanitized cross-origin snapshots.
  • JSON article collections with Lexical block bodies, Inline preview as the default article editing experience, an optional Sidebar experience and a read-only Markdown view.
  • GitHub sign-in and repository access checks, saves to the shared drafts branch, and batch publishing through a reviewed pull request and squash merge.
  • A media library with configurable upload limits, UUID filenames, editable metadata, video and document previews, and confirmed local file deletion.
  • Content and SEO fields, configurable content navigation and existing JSON menu editing.

Requirements and limits

Use Node.js 24, Astro ^7.3.0, Svelte ^5.57.0 and Vite ^8.0.0. The default maximum upload size is 2 MB, configurable in bytes.

Local filesystem writes require the Astro development server. Static hosting uses the GitHub backend for content changes. GitHub media writes are not implemented, and a website deployment still depends on the host’s build pipeline.

Previews need prepared HTML and bindings; they do not execute the website’s interactive scripts. The host must implement its own draft filtering, routes and SEO output.

Not included

Independent editor template mappings were added after this release in commit a072883. They are unreleased and are not part of RC1. RC1 collection previews use the existing new mapping. See the preview guide for the version boundary.
