TinaCMS V1.3.2

TinaCMS Version 1.3.2 (and @tinacms/cli@1.3.2) improves media, adds support for special characters in field names, and some other fixes and improvements.

Using Field names with special characters (using nameOverride)

Tina now supports fields with special characters through the use of the nameOverride property.

// fields
{
  name: 'my_field',
  nameOverride: 'my-field',
  type: 'string'
}

You can also use nameOverride to use special restricted field names like id

// fields
{
  name: 'custom_id',
  nameOverride: 'id',
  type: 'string'
}

The above field will read/write to the frontmatter key id, which previously wasn't possible.

Media Manager Updates

Editors can now browse media in the media library through a grid view. A sidebar slides out to show some image metadata: filename, image URL (coming soon).

Editors can also easily copy the absolute image URL from the media library.

PDF Uploads

Editors can now upload some non-image file types to the media library. When inserted into a rich-text field, files are inserted as links, while images are inserted as markdown images.
