The first Release Candidate for the Django-CMS 2.1 was just released and is
ready for testing. Please keep in mind that this is a release candidate,
and not
a final release yet!
Download: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/django-cms/2.1.0.rc1
Documentation: http://django-cms.rtfd.org
Source: https://github.com/divio/django-cms/tree/2.1.0.rc1
Please report any issues you find with this release to our issue tracker at
https://github.com/divio/django-cms/issues, thank you.
The Release Candidate 1 has all the new features fo the Django-CMS 2.1 and
countless bugfixes since Beta 3.
This Release Candidate would not have been possible without the
contribution by
the community, a total of 68 different people have committed to the
Django-CMS
since it's last stable release, 2.0.2.
Special thanks however go to Eric Robitaille, whos contribution to the
Publisher
were absolutely priceless, and Řyvind Saltvik, who fixed bug after bug
during
the last two weeks and thus allowed us to make this release. Both of
them are
now also core committers.
So what's new in 2.1?
* Frontend Editing!
You can edit your contents directly on the site, as an alternative to
the more
abstract admin panel.
* Better integration of 3rd party applications!
It is now easier then ever to integrate any 3rd party Django
applications into
your CMS or make your Django application CMS-Ready.
* "Placeholders"
It is now possible to use the Django-CMS Plugin based content
architecture in
any Django model using the new Placeholder Fields! This even comes
with full
blown frontend editing.
* Menu Refactor
The menu code has been strongly refactored since 2.0 and it is now
easier to
extend and alter the menus.
* Better Docs, Better Tests, Better Code
Our documentation is now hosted on the amazaing readthedocs.org and was
improved vastly and is still being improved until 2.1 final. On top
of that
our testing infrastructure, our test suite and our test coverage has
improved
significantly as well. And in the process of fixing a lot of bugs, we
have
also improved the readability and maintainability of the Django-CMS
codebase
to make it easier for new developers to get around.
* And lots more!
Wishing you a merry Christmas in the name of the Django-CMS core
developers team,
Jonas Obrist
