First up: the StreamField editing interface has been rebuilt on a client-side rendering model, powered by wagtail.github.io/telepath. It's much faster and easier to customise, and includes UI enhancements like block duplication. See wagtail.io/blog/telepath/ for more background.
Second, commenting. The page editor now supports leaving comments on fields and StreamField blocks. You can also make and respond to inline comments in rich text fields - enjoy
@KalobTaulien’s splendid summary at
Next, simple translations. In 2.12 we shipped the new localisation support, but in order to translate content you needed an external library, like the amazing wagtail-localize.org. In 2.13, we’ve included a new ‘simple_translation’ app...
...which allows you to create copies of pages and translatable snippets in other languages and translate them as regular Wagtail pages.
The ‘Account settings’ section (at the bottom of the admin menu) has been updated to include all settings on a single form, addressing some user experience issues from the previous tabbed approach.
#Django 3.2, which was released last month, is formally supported in Wagtail 2.13.
And finally, you can read about all this on our updated documentation, which now uses our brand new Sphinx Wagtail Theme, and a new, magically fast search, powered by Algolia DocSearch: docs.wagtail.io/en/stable/rele…
