Roadmap after 2.0.0

Now that 2.0 has landed we would like to talk about the future.

5 minutes read

We already have a frontedit branch with the frontend editing functionality and some other new features. Also a new Dashboard for the standard django admin is in the works. These features will be in 2.1. If you have your own pony you would like to see it in 2.1:

  1. Create a ticket on [github](https://github.com/divio/django-cms/issues).
  2. Vote in the issue tracker at: https://github.com/divio/django-cms/issuesor fork and start coding :)

A target date for 2.1.0 will be end of year or January. In mid December we will have a feature freeze.

The road to 2.2

For 2.2 we will see a major refactoring coming along that already started in the newadmin branch with the help of [fivethreeo](https://github.com/divio/django-cms/).

  • The current monolithic admin classes will be split.
  • the plugins will be working in other apps
  • the tree will be working in other apps
  • the menu will get its own app.

A target date for this is not yet set but will probably be somewhen in summer 2010.

Release

django CMS 5.1 is here: easier setup, flexible deployments, and a fresh editing experience

This release reduces friction across the whole project lifecycle: creating a new project, adding django CMS to an existing Django application, configuring larger deployments, controlling which plugins editors can use, and working with the CMS every day.

Release

django CMS 5.0.9 released: security, accessibility, and stability improvements

This release addresses three medium-severity security vulnerabilities and includes improvements to accessibility, Django compatibility, permissions, Content Security Policy support, and general editor stability.
