It provides an out of the box web-based administration panel that enables users to make modifications to parts of the website, which includes a WYSIWYG website editor.

New features
SilverStripe team announced the next major milestone for SilverStripe – 3.1.0 stable.
CMS
- “Split view” editing with side-by-side preview of the edited website
- Resizing of preview to common screen widths (“desktop”, “tablet” and “smartphone”)
- Decluttered “Edit Page” buttons by moving minor actions into a “more options” panel
- Auto-detect CMS changes and highlight the save button for better informancy
- New context action “Show children as list” on tree for better management on large sites
- CMS form fields now support help text through setDescription(), both inline and as tooltips
- Removed SiteTree “MetaTitle” and “MetaKeywords” fields
- More legible and simplified tab and menu styling in the CMS
- Dropped support for Internet Explorer 7
- Added support for Internet Explorer 10 (in “classic”/desktop mode)
Framework
- Security: Require ADMIN for ?flush=1 (stop denial of service attacks) (#1692)
- Static properties are immutable and private, you must use Config API
- Statics in custom Page classes need to be “private”
- $default_cast is now Text instead of HTMLText, to secure templates from XSS by default
- Shortcodes are no longer supported in template files (still works in DB fields and through HTMLText casting)
- DataList and ArrayList are now immutable, they’ll return cloned instances on modification
- Removed legacy table APIs (e.g. TableListField), use GridField instead
- Deny URL access if Controller::$allowed_actions is undefined
- Removed support for “*” rules in Controller::$allowed_actions
- Removed support for overriding rules on parent classes through Controller::$allowed_actions
- RestfulService verifies SSL peers by default
- UploadField functions on new records
- Editing of relation table data ($many_many_extraFields) in GridField
- Optional integration with ImageMagick as a new image manipulation backend
- Support for PHP 5.4’s built-in webserver
- Support for Composer dependency manager (also works with 3.0)
- Added support for filtering incoming HTML from TinyMCE (disabled by default, see security)
- Behaviour testing support through Behat, with CMS test coverage (see the SilverStripe Behat Extension for details)
