Announcing Silverstripe CMS Recipe 4.7.1

The Silverstripe CMS Squad has released Silverstripe CMS Recipe 4.7.1. This release does not include security fixes, but contains a range of bugfixes, and we encourage developers to update. Take a look at the changelog for more information.

Of particular note, it corrects the new default utf8mb4 database schema to be opt-in for existing projects. New projects will still use the new schema applied by default. See the 4.7.0 changelog for more details.

If you encounter any issues with the new release, please raise an issue on GitHub , making sure to include the recipe version.

Thanks for highlighting the schema change. I can finally remove this section from my config boilerplate!
