Version 5.0.1
October 15, 2026
Changed
- New icon, traced from the supplied artwork. The Plugin Store icon is the full mark on a rounded
tile in the plugin's accent, now teal (
#08818A); the control-panel nav icon is the silhouette with a single knockout for the eye, because the crosshatch and the ear are below a pixel at the size that nav actually renders.
Fixed
- Exporting no longer fatals on a CKEditor or Assets field left at its default volume settings
(#1). Craft stores
availableVolumes: '*'andavailableTransforms: ''as strings when they mean "all" and "none", and the dependency walk treated them as lists. - Releases are published to Packagist again
(#2).
composer.jsonno longer carries aversionkey, which didn't match the5.0.0tag, so Packagist skipped it. - Ordinary field settings are no longer read as source handles. On a relation field, whose bare
sourceshandles stand for volumes, sections or groups, every other string setting was being looked up the same way — soviewMode: largeandallowedKinds: [image]on an Assets field produced “still refers to volume “large”, volume “image”, which does not exist” and were left unset. A bare handle now only means a source insidesources; a prefixedvolume:imagesis still resolved wherever it appears. - A relation field's
viewModeis written the way Craft stores it. Craft rewriteslargetothumbs, andcardswithshowCardsInGridtocards-grid, before saving — so a blueprint saying either of the old things, which is exactly what an Architect document carries, planned as a change on every run and never converged.
Version 5.0.0
August 28, 2026
Initial release. A Craft 5 replacement for Architect.
Added
- Blueprints in YAML or JSON describing sites, site groups, filesystems, image transforms, fields, entry types, sections, volumes, category groups, tag groups, global sets, user groups and routes.
plan— a full diff of what applying a blueprint would do, down to individual attributes and field layout elements, before anything is written. Applies are idempotent: running a blueprint twice does nothing the second time.- Rollback. Every apply records what each component looked like beforehand, and can be undone from the CP or the console, with destructive steps called out first.
- A linter covering unknown and ambiguous field types, reserved and duplicate handles, layouts
naming fields that do not exist, sections pointing at missing entry types, settings a field type
does not have, credentials written in plain text, and environments where
allowAdminChangesis off. - Reading of Architect's Craft 4 blueprints, including rewriting Matrix block types into Craft 5
entry types, and
archie/blueprint/convertto write the result back out. - Export: read the live content model out as a blueprint, pulling in everything the selection needs to be applicable on its own.
- Seven bundled recipes — blog, page builder, team, FAQ, events, SEO fields and media volume.
- Console commands under
archie/blueprint,archie/recipesandarchie/history, with exit codes suitable for CI. - A
RegisterComponentHandlersEventso a plugin can teach Archie about a component type of its own.
