Data from reports, form submissions and ModelAdmin can now be exported to both XLSX and CSV format. For ModelAdmin, this is enabled by specifying a ``list_export`` attribute on the ModelAdmin class. This feature was developed by Jacob Topp-Mugglestone and sponsored by `The Motley Fool <https://www.fool.com/>`_.
This release addresses a potential timing attack on pages or documents that have been protected with a shared password through Wagtail's "Privacy" controls. This password check is performed through a character-by-character string comparison, and so an attacker who is able to measure the time taken by this check to a high degree of accuracy could potentially use timing differences to gain knowledge of the password. (This is `understood to be feasible on a local network, but not on the public internet <https://groups.google.com/d/msg/django-developers/iAaq0pvHXuA/fpUuwjK3i2wJ>`_.)

Wagtail's :class:`~wagtail.core.middleware.SiteMiddleware`, which makes the current site object available as the property ``request.site``, is now deprecated as it clashes with Django's sites framework and makes unnecessary database queries on non-Wagtail views. References to ``request.site`` in your code should be removed; the recommended way of retrieving the current site is ``Site.find_for_request(request)`` in Python code, and the ``{% wagtail_site %}`` tag within Django templates.
For `consistency with standard Django models <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/stable/topics/db/queries/#deleting-objects>`_, the ``delete()`` method is no longer available on the default Page and Collection managers. Code such as ``Page.objects.delete()`` should be changed to ``Page.objects.all().delete()``.
