django CMS 5.0.5 Released — Bugfix Update for Our LTS Version
We’re happy to announce the release of django CMS 5.0.5, a bugfix release for our long-term support (LTS) version. This update focuses on improving the stability and reliability of multilingual content management and editing workflows.
🧩 What’s New in 5.0.5
This release addresses several issues reported by users and contributors in recent weeks.
- Fix: Searching pages for language-specific content failed due to an incorrect search queryset. #8355
- Fix: Corrected the default value for the edit_fields parameter to prevent AttributeError. #8381
- Fix: Avoided escaping (stringifying) None values in the PageAttribute template tag. #8384
- Fix: Resolved a unique constraint violation when copying pages across languages. #8386
- Fix: Ensured the edit endpoint correctly selects the active language when the admin is not using i18n_patterns. #8390
These fixes improve multilingual editing, content duplication, and page search behaviour — making everyday CMS operations smoother and more predictable.
