CrafterCMS, the open-source Git-based headless CMS for enterprises, announced the general availability release of its version 4.

According to the company's press release, version 4.0 includes three major new capabilities:

1) A brand new Experience Builder for composing digital experiences from reusable plug-ins and components, and for true in-context editing and preview that supports all front-end technologies and any digital channels.

2) A brand new Crafter Studio content authoring application, built in React on top of CrafterCMS's API-first headless content authoring platform, that is faster and enables content teams to create, edit, review, and publish more productively than ever before.

3) A brand new plug-in framework and expanded marketplace that allows developers to quickly build and easily maintain reusable components and back-end integrations.

In other news, Uniform announced integrations with Shopify, Elastic Path, and Sitecore OrderCloud, WP Engine acquired plugin maker Delicious Brains, and a new report shows that the DXP market is poised for growth.
