canvas 1.0.0-beta2

Drupal Canvas has reached its second beta milestone! This release brings significant stability improvements and enhanced functionality as we continue progressing toward production readiness.

Content Templates have been moved out of experimental status and are now fully available. The AI assistant has been enhanced with better component generation capabilities, improved data fetching when creating components, and smarter handling of imports and prop generation.

Numerous stability improvements, bug fixes, and performance enhancements have been completed, including fixes for CKEditor integration, component prop linking, and error handling.

We'd love your feedback! As we work toward a Release Candidate, please test Canvas 1.0.0-beta2 and let us know about your experience. Your input will help shape future releases and ensure Drupal Canvas meets real-world needs.
