What needs still be done for a release?

We had some last minute string changes so it would be nice if you could head over to transifex and have a look at you language. If there are still some strings untranslated use the fabolous online editor to translate it.

If there are no roadblocks we will release a 2.4.0.final next week.

Many many thanks to all the contributers that made this release a reality, espacilly Bjorn Sandberg for the simple publisher changes that was a huge chunk of work.

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.
