django CMS 5.0.6 Released – Maintenance Update for our current LTS Version
We’re happy to announce the release of django CMS 5.0.6, a focused bug fix and compatibility release that improves stability, compatibility, and overall reliability.
This update does not introduce new features. Instead, it resolves several issues affecting placeholder handling, middleware behavior, permissions, migrations, and editing workflows.

- Copying failures when target placeholders were missing
- Fallback handling when scanning includes for placeholders
ApphookReloadMiddlewarenot correctly handling new language variants- UX inconsistencies for external placeholders (such as static aliases)
- GET parameters not being preserved when switching between preview and edit mode
