On March 23, 2026, dotCMS announced a significant change involving its migration away from Elasticsearch toward OpenSearch 3.0 as its new index provider, a transition that required deep refactoring within its core and affects custom OSGi plugins interacting with the indexing layer. Previously, on March 22, the company published content detailing what rich text is and how it works within a headless CMS, explaining it as text with formatting beyond plain characters. Earlier, on March 20, dotCMS shared how its structured content powers Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), which enhances content visibility and relevance in AI-driven search engines by breaking content into machine-readable parts. The company also addressed content governance on March 8, outlining the processes, roles, and rules that define how content is created, approved, maintained, and delivered across an organization.
