Web development
Continuing to innovate is extremely important in the online world. Umbraco also continues to innovate. Popular open-source CMS Umbraco has launched its latest version, Umbraco 12. With this release, Umbraco takes a big step forward in functionality, performance and user-friendliness. We would like to introduce you to the new possibilities of this version!
To ensure that Umbraco 12 is ready for the future, the development team has also paid attention to scalability and flexibility. The new release offers improved capabilities for managing multiple sites and provides an expanded API for third-party integrations. This allows companies to easily customize and expand their Umbraco-based websites and applications to meet their specific needs. Umbraco 12 contains a Content Delivery API, which means that you can also make the content of your website available outside your site. For example, towards an intranet or native app. This way you work more efficiently and are even more flexible in the use of your content and information.
ImageSharp was already updated in the earlier version of Umbraco 11 . ImageSharp takes care of the automatic resizing of images in an Umbraco site. Since Umbraco 11, Umbraco is less dependent on ImageSharp. ImageSharp is sent as a separate package with Umbraco, making it possible from Umbraco 11 to upgrade to future major versions of ImageSharp independently of the Umbraco version.
ImageSharp 3, as the new version is called, has several new image editing options. For example, ImageSharp now supports more options in different types of images. The highlight of the update, however, is the HMAC image processing security. This feature makes it a lot more difficult to manipulate the images of your website. This prevents possible attacks on your website.
Another major improvement in Umbraco 12 is the focus on performance optimization. By introducing advanced caching mechanisms and optimizations of database queries, page loading times have been significantly reduced. This results in a faster and more responsive user experience, which is essential for retaining visitors on a website.
Staying up to date with your website is very important to us. Vrolijk Online closely follows all Umbraco releases and will proactively carry out all necessary updates within your Umbraco version for you. This way your CMS is always up to date and meets the latest security standards. This is part of the support agreement. In this case, it concerns updates within a version (for example from 11.1 to 11.3). If a completely new version is available, we will always inform you about this and ask for your approval for a migration. Such a migration (for example from Umbraco 11 to 12) is always recommended for security reasons and for the best performance of your website.
