Umbraco 8 will reach End-of-Life on February 24, 2025, with no further support. Users must decide between upgrading to Umbraco 13, supported until December 2026, or waiting for Umbraco 17, releasing November 27, 2025. Key considerations include project complexity, third-party dependencies, and potential breaking changes.
Umbraco 15 introduces a new Rich Text Editor (RTE) UI built on TipTap, replacing TinyMCE due to licensing issues. This update enhances usability with improved copy-paste handling and greater customization for developers. The transition reflects Umbraco's commitment to innovation and adaptability in content management, with further refinements expected in upcoming releases.
Accessing Umbraco's Content and Media APIs via Swagger documentation allows developers to understand and extend query parameters for custom content filtering and indexing. This empowers tailored API usage for unique business needs.
