django CMS 2.1.1 released

We just released django CMS 2.1.1 to fix an issue brought to light by Django 1.2.5.

5 minutes read

After todays Django 1.2.5 security release, the django CMS AJAX requests stopped working, due to lacking CSRF protection. This critical issue has now been fixed in the 2.1.1 release.

Changes in this version:

  • Fixed CMS AJAX requests not being CSRF protected, thus not working in Django 1.2.5
  • Fixed toolbar CSS issues in Chrome/Firefox

We strongly urge everyone to upgrade to both Django 1.2.5 and django CMS 2.1.1.
