5.0.5 release notes¶

November 12, 2025

Welcome to django CMS 5.0.5!

These release notes cover the new features, as well as some backwards incompatible changes you’ll want to be aware of when upgrading from django CMS 4.1 or earlier. We’ve begun the deprecation process for some features.

Django and Python compatibility¶

django CMS supports Django 4.2, 5.0, 5.1, 5.2, and 6.0. We highly recommend and only support the latest release of each series.

It supports Python 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13. As for Django we highly recommend and only support the latest release of each series.

How to upgrade to 5.0.5¶

Update your project’s requirements.txt file to require (at least) django CMS 5.0.3 and run pip install -r requirements.txt.

If you are upgrading from an earlier version of django CMS, read the release notes for all the versions between your current version and this one. Check the release notes for each version to see if there are any special instructions.

Run migrations:

python -m manage migrate

Warning

Since the migrations merge the TreeNode and Page models, you should run the migration in a test environment first to ensure that the migration runs successfully.
