Apostrophe 3.57.0 Community core improvements, AI-helper enhancement, and documentation overhaul

[BoDonkey]

Hola Apostrophe Universe!

In this cycle, there were a number of improvements and fixes across the constellation of Apostrophe repositories. (Maybe I have been playing too much "Starfield".) Core received two community contributions, including a new translation into the language of love, Italian - Meraviglioso! Thanks to Antonello Zanini for this and to TheSaddestBread for schema field handling improvements.

The AI-helper extension got an update to take advantage of a newer OpenAI model. Additionally, we clarified how to change the token limit on your text generation requests. No more overspending when you are trying to create your next viral blog post about cheese!

In an ongoing quest to making development with Apostrophe easier, we have overhauled our documentation site. Try out the new search functionality and sleeker navigation then let us know how we can continue to improve your developer experience.

As we enter our next cycle, we are also moving into October. At the moment we don't have any specific Hacktoberfest events planned, but as always we love 💕 to see community contributions. Join the open source channels in our Discord server or leave product improvement requests on our GitHub or Product Roadmap.

Until next time, remember that npm update gets you the latest and greatest right in your project!

Adds

• Italian translation i18n file created for the Apostrophe Admin-UI. Thanks to Antonello Zanini for this contribution.
• Fixed date in piece type being displayed as current date in column when set as undefined and without default value. Thanks to TheSaddestBread for this contribution.

Fixes

• Bumped dependency on oembetter to ensure Vimeo starts working again
  for everyone with this release. This is necessary because Vimeo stopped
  offering oembed discovery meta tags on their video pages.

Apostrophe 2.227.4

Fixes

• Bump dependency on oembetter to ensure support for Vimeo after they
  decided to remove oembed meta tags from their video pages.

An in-context interface for changing CSS. @apostrophecms-pro/palette is a module that provides an in-context interface for changing the values of developer-set CSS properties.

Adjusting values via the palette interface renders changes to the site instantly. Contact us or visit our new pricing page to learn more.
