Detailed description of Umbraco version 13

The recent upgrade to Umbraco 13 brings several significant improvements. This version leverages the latest developments in .NET 8, resulting in better overall performance and efficiency of the system. With this upgrade, not only is system performance enhanced, but users also gain access to new and improved features that make working with Umbraco easier and more effective.

One of the standout new features in Umbraco 13 is the ability to use 'Blocks' in the Rich Text Editor, making it easier to create things like a call-to-action button or other complex content in text. Webhooks, another new addition in Umbraco 13, enable users to connect more seamlessly with external systems. This is an important step towards simplifying certain processes and increasing autonomy for editors, reducing their reliance on developers for specific tasks.

In addition to these specific features, Umbraco 13 also includes a number of other enhancements that contribute to the usability and security of the platform. This includes a simplified process for launching the application and security improvements, such as the new feature for managing concurrent logins. This latter enhancement increases security by preventing users from being logged in on multiple devices at the same time.
