django CMS 3.4.4 released
More bug-fixes and improvements for our users!
django CMS 3.4.4 is now available, containing numerous improvements and bug-fixes.
What’s new
There are improvements to the plugin menu (which now better reflects the user's permissions) and to the toolbar.
Alongside these are numerous bug-fixes, mostly concerning edge-cases and very specific situations.
The stand-out bug-fix of this release cycle was a race condition issue affecting cache keys, which required painstaking detective work to pin down, and a lot of work even to reproduce.
Many thanks go to the various members of the community who committed patches. Special thanks go to Paulo Alvarado, our core developer, for shepherding this version to its release.
Please see the release notes for django CMS 3.4.4 for full details of the changes.
How to get it
Version 3.4.4 is available for installation on the Divio Cloud, via pip (pip install django-cms), directly from GitHub, or using the django CMS installer.
Please file any bug reports on GitHub, and give us any other feedback on our django CMS developers email list.
