February 2026
We’re excited to announce Structr 6.2.0, a feature release that delivers a completely revamped documentation system, built-in rate limiting for production hardening, enhanced global search with result highlighting, and a comprehensive OAuth refactoring — alongside dozens of UI improvements and bugfixes.
All-New Integrated Documentation
The documentation in Structr 6.2.0 has been rebuilt from the ground up and represents a major leap forward in quality, coverage, and usability. The new system is fully integrated into the Structr UI and provides a dramatically improved experience for both new and experienced users.
Core articles like Getting Started, Data Model, URL Routing, and Event Action Mapping have been completely rewritten or significantly expanded. Entirely new documentation covers Prefetching, RSS Feeds, and more. Built-in function documentation now features expandable Markdown-based detail sections, making it much easier to explore the scripting API directly within the application. System types, services, and built-in traits are now documented with code snippets. Internal links, screenshots, and navigation have been cleaned up throughout.
Whether you’re just getting started with Structr or building complex applications, the new documentation will make your life easier.
Rate Limiting with DoS Filter
Structr 6.2.0 adds built-in rate limiting through Jetty’s DoSFilter. Every init parameter is exposed as a Structr configuration setting, giving administrators fine-grained control over request throttling. A default whitelist of “127.0.0.1” is included to avoid throttling in local development environments. This is an important addition for production deployments, providing protection against denial-of-service attacks and abusive request patterns without requiring an external reverse proxy.
Global Search with Result Highlighting
Global search has been significantly improved. Search results now display matched values with highlighting, making it much easier to identify why a particular result was returned. The search implementation has been moved into the database layer for better performance and proper tenant identifier support.
OAuth Refactoring
The OAuth implementation has been comprehensively refactored with new tests and updated documentation, improving reliability and maintainability of SSO integrations.
And Much More
Beyond these highlights, Structr 6.2.0 includes a revamped notification system, smarter editor defaults, SSH access for non-admin users, fromExcel improvements, prefetch2 exposed to scripting, content type autodetection, wildcard support for allowedHostClass, over 20 bugfixes across the graph browser, file operations, deployment, and schema handling, as well as a complete CI/CD migration from GitHub to GitLab.
For the full list of changes, see the detailed release notes.

- Recommended for all Structr 6.1.x users
