What has changed since beta2?

• Templatetags Cleanup
  As of now all cms templatetags are in one library called cms_tags. placerholder_tags has been merged into cms_tags and is now deprecated.
  We added a new templatetag called {% static_placeholder %} that can be used anywhere in any template.
• Deferred Rendering of the toolbar
  The toolbar is now rendered after everything else. This allows for changes of the toolbar by plugins in the future and detection of the static_placeholders.
• Django 1.6 support added
• Frontend Editing for custom models
  We added support for your own apps to enable frontend editing with the show_editable_model templatetag.
• Page and Title model extension API
  You can now add your own fields to pages with a consistent api that helps with all the publishing workflow. 
• Frontend improvements
  • Refactored structure view from your templates (now within cms namespace) so styles will not interfere
  • Refactor copy & paste
  • Update to jQuery 1.10 (django 1.6)
  • Several UI improvements (menu, keybindings, click/longclick)
  • Nice collapse/expand handling
  • and much more...

A big thanks to yakky, digi064, FinalAngel... and 35 new contributors to the cms.

What comes next?

Our next milestone is a release candidate and we hope to accomplish this sooner rather then later.
All the APIs should now have stabilised and should not change dramatically until RC1.

What do I need to do if I upgrade from an older beta? 

• Upgrade the code
• Run migrations
• remove cms.stacks from INSTALLED_APPS if you don't use any stack plugins.
• replace {% stack %} with {% static_placeholder %}
• replace {% load placeholder_tags %} with {% load cms_tags %}
• {% cms_toolbar %} may not be inside of other tags anymore.
