django CMS Fellowship - June Update

5 minutes read

Releases

  • Djangocms-text 0.1.3: Fixed a bug that was raised when no text-enable plugins were installed

Contributions

  • In June, we had 10 pull requests, 4 of those to the django CMS core, and 2 to djangocms-snippet.
  • Vipulnarang95 contributed 3 out of the 10 pull requests.
  • I am excited to greet four new contributors: ls-app, Richard Cooke, florianRepenn, and hgkornmann had their first contribution to the django CMS organization! Welcome on board!

Finally, let me remark that a lot more work has been done in June, but not (yet) merged:

  • @Jacob and myself are looking to improve performance for large-scale installations (>10.000 pages)
  • Quite a bit of progress has been made to run django CMS headlessly (see ⁠#headless on Discord)
  • Re-usable custom components are coming to djangocms-frontend, e.g., for use with tailwind css.

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.
