It's been a slow month here at Backpack - with August being vacation time in Europe, we've taken advantage and took some leave too. That's why we don't have as much to report as usual, but we are happy to tell you we're back with energy and excitement for September - it's going to be a cool month.
With everybody seemingly on vacation (judging by the tons of OOO auto-responses we get), we decided NOT to officially launch v7 in August, but instead wait for everyone to get back to work.
If you haven't given v7 a shot yet, definitely do so! Now more than ever... we're ready for you to give it a look, we've been fixing things here and there all month!
If you use & like Backpack - we're interested in your opinion. Please see what Backpack v7 brings and join our public beta program.
Over the next few weeks, we'll accept a few more suggestions and feedback, then we will do a soft launch of Backpack v7. We won't make a big fuss (nor any discounts campaign) - but it'll be launched and public, for existing projects to upgrade and for new projects to use it out of the box. So if you want to influence Backpack v7 before it's out... this is the last chance to try it and give feedback.
Additionally, we've been working on a Backpack add-on that makes is stupidly simple to manage multi-language projects. Backpack has long supported multi-language admin panels out-of-the-box, but this... this takes it to a whole other level! The biggest peeve of admins... we've solved it, using AI.
We're very excited to finalize it so it fits a lot more projects - and bring it so you guys can use it too. This will be the first official AI integration of many, hopefully. If you use Backpack in multi-language projects, please drop a comment below to let us know. We'd love to get some early feedback from some of you.

That’s it for August. Thanks again for using Backpack, supporting the project, and helping us make it better every month. Can't wait to launch Backpack v7 & the new add-ons, so all of us can use them in all our projects.
Until next time,
Tabacitu & The Backpack Team
