django CMS 5.0.5 Released — Bugfix Update for Our LTS Version

🧩 What’s New in 5.0.5

This release addresses several issues reported by users and contributors in recent weeks.

• Fix: Searching pages for language-specific content failed due to an incorrect search queryset. #8355
• Fix: Corrected the default value for the edit_fields parameter to prevent AttributeError. #8381
• Fix: Avoided escaping (stringifying) None values in the PageAttribute template tag. #8384
• Fix: Resolved a unique constraint violation when copying pages across languages. #8386
• Fix: Ensured the edit endpoint correctly selects the active language when the admin is not using i18n_patterns. #8390

These fixes improve multilingual editing, content duplication, and page search behaviour — making everyday CMS operations smoother and more predictable.
