django CMS team at Django under the Hood 2015

This year's Django Under the Hood wasn't as good as last year's, it was even better (a remarkable achievement).

The carefully-selected programme of talks was packed with insights into Django functionality and secrets, with talks from several members of the Django core team and authors of notable projects in the Django/Python ecosystem.

One of them was our own Iacopo Spalletti, who related some of the challenges that django CMS has presented and the solutions we adopted.

Naturally Django Under the Hood was not just a first-rate technical conference, but a friendly and inclusive community event that the organisers can rightly feel very proud of. We're grateful for the opportunity to sponsor events of this calibre.

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.
